I didn't buy Shattered Space, but it sure sounded unappealing. Like, pick the least attractive faction, psycho religious nuts, and write about that? It lost me right there, just with the theme.
Ya totally. I don't play the main game, haven't done any Constellation missions.
I explore systems, steal ships, and kill people.
My big thing lately has been dumping everything in the galaxy onto the floor of the Broken Spear tavern in Cydonia. Got a pretty big pile going.
So ya, the updates they've announced sound like they will enhance the stuff I enjoy in the game.
To all of the haters. I completely agree with you. This is gross.
Obviously, I was pretty drunk.
Those are Ramen noodles, cookies, and bar chickenstrips and fries.
And a couple shots of rum. And some beer. PBR.
I was celebrating passing my CCNA. I did a damn good job of celebrating. Over the top.
I caught em on the Peace Sells tour. Still my favorite album.
Listened to?
Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LJi5na897Y
Cindy is Patrick Flegel, who performs in drag, with a voice effects that make him sound female.
Honestly, I give two shits about the trans act. Whatever.
But the music ... it immediately grabbed me. Spacey. Raw. Patrick is a brilliant guitarist and producer, a one man show. In drag. Deliberately plays with your expectations and abuses them. Smooth and mellow, with a taste of the 50's, Beach Boys, Alan Parsons, and Beck.
Yes, I know that doesn't make any sense. Try this instead.
Diamond Jubilee is the most definitive, the very best Lo-Fi album ever recorded.
And this guy.
SEA is just a youtuber who does chill science videos.
He's far from perfect, but he does not beg for money or your attention. Gets by on producing good content.
This particular video has been putting me to sleep for years.

Thanks! I did it for close to free. Happy to share ...
Cisco has the free CCST Network training, which gets you a cert, and trains you about 2/3 of the way.
https://www.netacad.com/resources/program-info/ccst-networking
They also have a CCST Cybersecurity that will train you on general security and cover ACLs. I did them both. TBH its a pain in the butt to sign up for Cisco training if you don't work for a company with an account, but it can be done. Fortunately, I was able to use my work email to sign up.
After you finish the CCST, you'll still need to learn etherchannel, vlan/trunk, STP, and OSPF.
There's a lot of really good sites training sites out there. Pick one with a monthly charge that offers tests and labs.
I used KWTrain.com because I was familiar with the guy from his excellent youtube vids. Cost was $39/month, and I only needed 2 months access.
The CCST tests were (2x) $125. + CCNA test was $300. + KWTrain.com cost me $78.
So the whole thing cost me $328 and a hell of a lot of study time.
Oh, one more thing. Cisco has like a dozen training sites. Explore them. I got a Meraki cert on one of their random sites, took me about 2 days to complete. There's probly other stuff I haven't seen yet.
This CiscoU site is sort of the central training hub.
https://u.cisco.com/
I would suggest that you DO NOT sign up for this until you are ready, because you will get a free introductory window where you have access to a bunch of training that is normally not free. So, get well into your CCST studies before you sign up for CiscoU, and get the most out of your free window.
It was actually not too traumatic. At my kitchen sink, nice plastic bag handy. Paper towels. All clean.
And then I had this bag.
1 lbs.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Ya, I used Cisco U. I've waded through many hours of vendor propaganda and got an incidental Meraki cert along the way.
I want the CCNA credential. Its done me tons of good getting this far. I know so much more now.
But I mostly need that silly badge.
Pineapple on pizza. Eeewww! :]
Cool nic! I take you you started out as a play on quixotic, and then you found some crazy characters? That's unique.
Expect as you like. Jokes are, as they are. Not much to be said about Haiku, its a joke.
Really. Get over yourself.
Its ok if I don't like something. I'm not disagreeing with your or criticizing your post. Check Lemvotes. I upvote you.
I'm a bit bemused by all this fragility displayed, but I'm sure we will all get past it.
That was ... mildly interesting.
Gawd that is a hell of a ride. Very interactive. I"ve done the in-place upgrade on about 8 servers now. Frequent surprises.
(Chickin pic tangentally related.)
Ya, this is awful, but I'm sure that toasty thing is actually a cat.
I blame it on bored at work.
This was in my Cisco training. Unidirectional line break.
No. I don't speak Japanese. Or whatever that is.
Nixie and Larry playing with a door.
They do this often enough to have damaged the bottom.
She will wait, hiding behind my boots, ambush him.
He uses his bulk and rushes her. She bites his ankle, and it all starts over.
I just finished my Cisco CCST Cybersecurity. The whole course of study is pretty much to get you skilled up enough to operate and understand the Security Onion console. The last half of the last class is all about handling the alerts.
Well, the CCST was a pretty cursory introduction to an extremely complicated platform. I checked out the vendor training, and its alright. Its a set of videos that walk you through setup and usage of a demo install. (See post link.) I've set it up at home, and I'm monitoring my network.
I know we use Security Onion at work, and I asked about it. Well apparently its completely broken, and my first task as a newly certified network security guy is to rebuild it.
Yup. I ate the Onion. ... err ... or I'm in process. Chomp, chomp, chomp.
I had an awful lot of fun in the lower levels by sticking entirely with my mining laser. After a while I picked up a rivet gun and an arc welder. Later on a ship cutter to replace the mining laser. And finally I got some Arc Might plasma drill thing that absolutely tears through anything with the most jarring sound. I'm not really the cosplay type, but my dood is a miner, with modified, deadly tools. Silly, I know, but fun is where you find it.
