I've been looking for about a year, and made a post here several months ago. I was finally able to land a spot above the help desk. I don't have any networking certs and I haven't finished my degree, however my job in contingent on my being able to get Network+ and then my CCNA. I'm not too worried about those because I've looked at study material and I'm quite confident I could pass Network+ right now and I know CCNA is totally passable for me with some serious studying and learning.
My question is: in your guys' experience, what should I expect this job to be like? My orientation is in two weeks and all I know is that the company is huge, they told me I'll be on the frontline but will not deal with customers, and the interview was VERY protocol-centric. I'm not sure if it's ticket based or otherwise, and they told me they believe I have high aptitude for the position and could be working on projects soon, but I have NO IDEA what my role in those projects could look like. If anyone has been in a position similar to this, what was your day to day like? I'm SUPER excited to start regardless of what it's like, but if anyone could give me some tips maybe that would help with the imposter syndrome. Thanks in advance!
Hi guys, I'm putting together a multi-tier network in azure and have silly question (diagram below)

How does traffic from business tier communicate with web tier? Do I need an NSG rule to allow outbound traffic from business tier to the public load balancer?
They're in different subnets so i didn't know if they could already talk to each other or I had to explicitly set this.
On the Web Subnet NSG I've allowed HTTP inbound only.
Thank you
Hello all,
This is something new for me which I have been thinking about doing for a while, more or less ever since CORSAIR DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018 where we had a few technical issues (threads here and here). It became clear to me that this sub-reddit has a few IT/Infrastructure/Network interested readers and that's why I thought that getting to know how we build the network for a event like CORSAIR DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018 might be interesting for some of you.
First a few disclaimers:
- We do not use any special equipment that is not used by large ISP's or enterprises today.
- This post will in some parts be very technical.
- I do not claim that this is the best way, or the only way to build a network for a event like this. This is how I do it at DreamHack.
- My drawings are really bad.
- My posting skills on reddit are really bad.
Network changes done since Marseille:
- We have implemented a very simple script that resets the computers ethernet interface at startup.
- We have segmented each team into separate VLAN which isolates them from potential loops and duplicate mac addresses.
Hardware
As router we used a Juniper MX104.
Our distribution switch was Juniper EX4600-40F.
As access switches we use both Cisco 2960G and 2960X switches.
For our point to point connection between venue and studio we used in the studio end a Juniper EX4300.
Internet
The event has two incoming fibers for internet, one that is supplied by our partner Com Hem and one that is supplied by ourself from our hosting facility.
Towards ComHem we had redundancy to two different routers using one fiber. This was done with technology called DWDM which gives you several channels in one fiber line. We announced our IP networks under AS25037 (DreamHack Event ASN) towards ComHem who a

Here's the nitty gritty
BSW sells health insurance plans in Austin, yet they have zero psychiatrists in the Austin area. I am not sure how that is even legal as the ACA states that mental health care is required on these plans.
Out of the 6 available options spread throughout Round Rock and Cedar Park all but 1 don't accept new patients/only work with geriatric patients/only work with hospitalized patients.
The 1 out of those 6 that is suppose to service all of Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock and Cedar Park is basically unavailable as well. My wife waited 6 weeks to see this one available doctor and at the last minute he cancelled on her without even bothering to contact us or to reschedule. We were told by different BSW employees that he had to cancel because either he "had classes" or "is going on vacation." Now they want us to wait into October for an initial visit that we have already waited 6 weeks to get.
Effectively, if you signed up for this plan you have zero access to psychiatry or mental health medication. This means anyone on this plans that needs medicine for depression, anxiety, ADHD, anti-psychotics, etc is shit out of luck because BSW refuses to properly provide coverage for a city of 1 million people plus the surrounding suburbs. Again, I am not sure how it is legal for them to even sell these "coverage" plans.
We have jumped through several bureaucratic hoops trying to get my wife an appointment to no avail. We have contacted the Texas AG office (not holding our breath there), we have written our congress people, tried contacting KUT, KXAN, KVUE, etc. Any advise on what else we could do would be greatly appreciated. Also, I hope this post serves as warning to anyone renewing or signing up for healthcare through the marketplace next year to stay clear of BSW.
EDIT: Thank you all who chimed in with pragmatic advise (consulting a PCP, integral care, BetterHelp etc). I still find it pretty outrageous an insurance company can advertise that their plans cover psychiatry in the area you signed up for and then patients either have to drive an hour or more away or try and get their PCP to fill the shoes of a full time psychiatrist.
What the actual fuck is going through these people's head. Do they not realize that the McDonald's up the street from me starts at 15$
I'm a mid-career DevOps/sysadmin person pivoting into networking because I want to help run the internet. I currently have an offer for a NOC role at Big Media Company, where in the future I'll be able to move into their cloud networking team (once I pass the CCNA and have more NOC experience under my belt). However I only want to accept this role if, after working on the cloud networking team at Big Media Company and getting my CCNP SP, I can reasonably expect to land a job on a networking team at a tier 1 or 2 ISP.
So, is such a move feasible? Or do ISPs look for a very particular set of experience when hiring their network engineers, experience that I wouldn't get at all on the all-AWS cloud networking team at Big Media Company?
TL;DR: Lightning network isn't ready to scale up to route millions of nodes. Only way it can work is if all the liquidity is concentrated in a few tier 1 providers. Most of the transactions made will be within the subnet of the same provider (2 hops at max) which means source and destination is transparent to the tier 1 nodes.
Hi all, I'm generally a bystander in this subreddit as I don't necessarily share the bitcoin (BCH) maximalist philosophy that seems to be prevalent here. But I do like to browse from time to time in order to keep up to date with the technical progress being made by the devs working on BCH and trying to understand how everything works from a technical perspective.
Recently I have been looking at the work that's being done on LN and how there has been a sudden shift in marketing it not as a beta network that has unsolved issues like routing (which was the case for a long time) to a ready for use product using tactics such as the participation in LN Chain by Jack Dorsey and other mainstream figures. As an engineer it's clear to me that LN can't scale while keeping the distribution decentralized and I will try to explain the technical side of it a bit later. However seeing the recent marketing push and shift in narrative I think now the goal of decentralization has been thrown away by BTC devs and supporters which should be a bit concerning for all of us.
The technical issue of routing:
Routing in a decentralized peer to peer network is a well known computer science problem. Finding a route from any point A to point B is trivial if all the nodes and their connections are known in advance and if these connections and nodes stay static and unchanging. If those two conditions aren't met then the only way to find a route between two points is to use a variation of Dijkstra's algorithm. Problem here is that this algorithm depends on creating a 2 dimensional array (a.k.a table) of size NxN where N is the number of nodes in the network. This table has to be stored either in RAM or if using "out of core access" algorithms on the harddisk (though this second approach is quite slow). This entails that the node that is meant to calculate the route must know the updated state of all connections across the network and have them stored in memory for quick access. Anytime a change to this topology is made this map needs to be updated on each node. So far so good.
Limitations:
The problem comes when you try to scale the network pa

I am honestly dumbfounded that these types of posts get thousands of upvotes.

Description Says "Crash like an avalanche" My ass,I feel like a wet noodle Slogging through mud.
Burning meme now feels much better than this super and that's a tier 3 super.
Possible the Super with most brutal nerfs ever got in destiny.Duration,Movement,Right click freeze,Damage resistance,Freeze on cast removal,Left click right click combo nerf and now crystals nerfs.
It got nerfed in all categories and got nerfed hard,this super went from one of the tankiest and mobile supers to the most fragile and slow super.Winter wrath,bottom tree dawnblade and hammer of sol are almost as powerful as prenerf glacial quake and yet this super was ruined this much.
Yeah you can do a good damage with super against large targets now,that are Stationery and are placed/aligned within the crystals perfectly,Ready for a Photoshoot /s
It still doesn't excuse how Clunky this super is to use,The right Click misses most enemies in short range,Crystals spawn at certain distance and you are constantly juggling your distance and most importantly how clunky it is to Shatter with this super you freeze at medium range,but you have to jog through your crystal garden to shatter them one by one and wasting your super time,Cryoclasm helps but you waste on aspect and its not ideal.
The movement/Damage resistance nerf did a number on this subclass in PVP,Stompee hunters laugh as i try to chase them when they are bouncing around like a ping pong ball and TTD warlocks are just appalled at my pathetic attempt to even try chasing them as they shoot me down from the sky.
Winter wrath is simple just left click to freeze and right click to shatter,Silence and squall is fire and forget super that does everything on its own and then we have this clunky mess of a super...?
This is a super i actively avoid using because of how clunky it feels,I know it takes time to change stuff,But this super should not be a T1 super timebeing.

The only responses I get are for Help Desk, Service Desk, Tech Support. Is that a sign I should take one of these positions? Are my expectations to high? All the interviews I've had for these positions, the managers and sr. engineers day things like "you fully understand that this is a entry level 1 position where you will be on the phone all day with non tech savvy end users correct?" or something along the lines of that. Hearing this makes me feel like they know I have more in me, but I just can't seem to get any response from positions that are any higher up. I don't want to just accept one of these positions cause it's just a job, but I'm kind of stuck on what to do. I also want to use what I've learned from obtaining my CCNA, I feel like a lot of the things are starting to slip my memory since I'm not around them every day. Sorry for the rant, thank you!
