Maybe it's a prerequisite for MVP status? At least three of us are graphite carriers, which seems an abnormally high percentage of a study group. Time for a new poll, for MVP's only?

Automate revealing trolls' actions and identifies, make it infallible, and you've got a start towards changing their behavior. They are into it for the self gratification and the degrading of others--all without risk. Anonymity is simultaneously one of the Internet's greatest features and largest shortcomings. Particularly…

Popular Science notes that if you can't smell the bacon, you might have COVID-19. https://www.popsci.com/story/health/covid19-lose-taste-why/

Never forget to include, in your skill set and magic bag of tricks, a good sense of humor and an ability to shed stress easily. I've seen DBA's crushed by demand and pressure and insufficient time and insufficient training. Don't let that be you.

Week 1 questions all green. That Avengers Waffle Maker might be a welcome switch to my regular staying-at-home-and-working-remotely-due-to-COVID-19 breakfast. (Kudos to @"yumdarling" for repairing my ability to upload images!)

I was exposed to this at a Cisco Tech Day last fall. They call their technology "I-WAN", and it seems to fill a big gap in WAN services for certain locations. In my organization's case, we have remote / rural clinics or hospitals that have very limited WAN solutions. It's not unusual to have outages due to backhoe fade or…

This suggest makes great sense to me. I keep a template of our basic configurations, as well as a complex Excel-based "Configurator" that allows my team to enter in many different variables to build access switches, distribution switches, routers, firewalls, etc., and it's very obvious when syntax changes between versions…

What a nice story! Thank you, Leon, for brightening our day when the news and politics seem so depressing.

A classic example showing how we must know more about increasingly narrowing systems. We become experts by learning more and more about less and less, until we know absolutely everything about nothing at all!

Even better than that, the downloadable UnDP for this info, and the complete process for installing it, are both already a thread in Thwack. Check it out here: APC SmartUPS Universal Device Pollers It's important to read and understand every line--some folks had problems by not following the exact steps. My sole snag with…

I'd guess self driving cars will be equipped with light sensors, just like traffic lights, that will detect when emergency vehicles are approaching, and will pull over / slow down / etc. automatically. I'm still waiting for someone to be arrested for figuring out (and applying) the strobe frequency (on illegal strobe…

This feature would solve questions and needs where I work.

Hmmm. I'm not seeing the option to keep the history, cahunt. Can you send a screen shot of that option?

I apologize, but another team is managing that resource now, and I no longer have that Resource/Widget available. But I recall having found the info to build the alerts through searching for them in Thwack. Try this syntax and see if it's a variable that helps you get the job done in your environment:…

Hmmm. Is she messing with us, or did she really get the last question a day early?

That's a surprise, and a disappointment in Cisco. For as powerful as Cisco claims they are, and for being data center solutions, I expect them to respond in just a few milliseconds from any of my sites. The latency between my most distant site and my Nexus gear is 11 ms round trip. I want Nexus to respond to snmp queries…

Training, training, training! From getting the right people to the right classes, to instilling an philosophy of "security first" in all employees and clients, no one will do the work right unless they understand the right way to do it. Then test and confirm they're getting it right. The difference between knowing the…

It's simple (for me) when someone else (who knows SQL type language commands) provides it. Hence why I voted UP for a Wizard--I'm not (yet) someone who has SQL (or SWQL) skills, and would love a GUI version that's intuitive. After all, we no longer use DOS when we have Windows, we don't use CLI when accessing Skype or…

po'malley: I'm not sure which comment of mine you're responding to, but if you're asking which Orion product(s) can keep up with malicious intent, I'm not aware of one. Between building PCI environments, leveraging NetFlow and ISE and ACI, and having MSE's providing RTLS, we're spending a lot to try to achieve it behind…

An autonomous flying taxi? There's no END of wonderment that might happen with one of those. "Deliver this flaming bag of . . . to political person / federal judge / etc" ASAP, please. "Mildred! Git mah deer rahfle! There's ALIENS flyin' 'cross the back forty!" "I'm sorry, please deposit another three bitcoins to allow the…

The ethics of manipulating video and audio. It's never ethical to put words in someone else's mouth. It's even worse to make it look like their lips actually said those words. The saddest part of it: people get burned so many times they start believing everything could be fake; nothing can be trusted. Are we going back to…

In the 1970's and 1980's I saw a parallel to the Geek Squad's association with the FBI, regarding illegal images/content. This was back when I was a Photographic Technology Engineer, troubleshooting overnight and one-hour photo labs, working at some, selling others, and training users and owners how to make a living by…

100% success so far--but this mission's questions are too easy, IMHO. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth (I mean, who doesn't love easy points?), but the mission questions require little thought or digging--the answers are right there on the page, and most of the multiple point correct choices end up being in the same…

Yah, those flappers will cause Gulliver's flappers to start flapping ears to keep folk's attention on the topic at hand.

There are a few conditions I've discovered for getting miles-per-gallon into the 60 and 70 ranges: * Outside temperature above 70 F seems mandatory. Don't plan on getting 50 mpg if the outside temperatures are below 40F, and if temps stay below zero for extended periods I see consistent mpg drop into the low 40's. *…

I accept--you're on. But there's a LOT of distance between Duluth, Minnesota and Jersey City. I might be safe from an embarrassingly ignominious defeat through simple convenience. If only we had Star Trek transporter technology . . . we could serenade in competition until the cats and dogs cried for mercy.

When I read that $1000 invested in BitCoin three years ago would be worth $120,000,000 today (give or take $30K, depending on rumors & regional fluctuations), I experienced the minor regret and frustration for opportunities lost. And yet I'm not the kind of person who has $1000 to toss into a high risk new venture, so it's…

You've provided some definitions; now let's see your final implementation guideline based on those concepts! Is there a Part IV coming up that shows your ideas in practice?

Wow. That's right out of clone/drone Science Fiction. The sound is scary--hundreds of bird-sized mosquitos, and I bet their bite is worse than any organic insect.
