@sethfiermonti @jsnyder81 @_bryan_ward_ @TracketPacer Been there. My colleague got that badge…

@jsnyder81 @_bryan_ward_ @TracketPacer When that intern pressed the red button in a datacenter thinking it was to unlock the doors

when u accidentally leave the traffic generator running for 3 months straight

@etherealmind On the fip side, PANW has no comprehensive wired/wireless networking solution and FTNT has no data center fabric. Every vendor has pros and cons.

@csampson01 If I was looking whole-of-business solution, PANW and FTNT offers branch, campus, wireless, DC and various cloud security tools. Also a in-house CASB and more. HPE security has some point solutions but no coherent one supplier capability. Or am I missing something ?

It’s 2023, HPE still doesn’t have a firewall product that it owns. Aruba can implement filtering but it doesn’t have a firewall either. I find this remarkable that HPE would skip the hottest market segment in Enterprise IT.

@etherealmind You talked a bit about this on network break 420.

HPE Aruba are talking about future SASE at their Atmosphere conference apparently. Haven’t seen a press release or analyst note, I’ll go digging and see if anything is out there.

@theITrebel @ArubaNetworks @Apple Mine is waiting for me at home 😋

@ArubaNetworks AP-635 moved into home production ✅ #WPA3 enabled ✅ 6 GHz Wi-Fi enabled ✅ Now just waiting on my new #6E @Apple #iPadPro to be delivered tomorrow! #applefinallyhasa6Edevice

@theITrebel Me me

Alright #wifipros, who’s already shelled out the $ for the new iPad Pro with #6E besides me?

@etherealmind @supertylerc Perhaps you and I can start a vendor and do what we want :)

I really wish vendors would get their shit together. It’s embarrassing that they’re more interested in increasing the barrier to entry instead of decreasing it.

@supertylerc @etherealmind Can’t comment on ethics, global trade policies and export control practices that vendors do or do not implement or adhere to. But might be worth considering some of the below in relation to your comment? I don’t think every1 simply wants to send marketing en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of…

Seriously, vendors (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Palo Alto, Aruba): how can I advocate or publicly do _anything_ cool if *my* target audience can’t get a publicly-accessible instance of your OS? At this point, everything I do that’s focused on community or reproducibility is #SRlinux.

@nowireless4u @WazzFi I still have those same large Turtle figurines stashed somewhere from when I was a kid.

My office has been a wreck due to renovating it. I have to say its totally worth it! I’m sure @WazzFi appreciates my new view.

@pat_devlin I can set you up a 9004 gateway. Or ask @AdventureMatt about his Starlink + NBN setup

@benmontour Holy POE Budget Batman!

@Marcel_koedijk Clean! I like.

New keyboard and mouse, no wires anymore, i hate! wires ☺️. Perfect place to work @ home.

@charlottelyng @troyhunt Melbourne, on the morning peninsula. They do some great gins.

@csampson01 @troyhunt We have to try that. Where is it from?

That’s it - the OOO is on - and thus begins an epic thread of amazing Aussie scenery the likes I’ve never seen before. There will be a lot of beaches, blue water and amazing scenery from a *very* special place we’re super excited about. Oh - and cool drinks - speaking of which…

@troyhunt Angry Ant Gin! bassandflindersdistillery.com/products/gin-a…

This is amazing! 🐜

@timcappalli I don’t think you are americaning right?

@wifidownunder Mate, I think your dog is broken!

What!? Do you have a problem with how I get comfy? #CaptainTheDog

@sethfiermonti @joeneville_ #1 brings back some memories from back in the day. Power kill switch was supposed to have been decommissioned and someone thought it would be fun to push…That turned into a very late night recovering servers and apps.

@joeneville_ Ohhh I’ll go next. 1. Intern pressed big red button in DC. 2. Bit flipping with every n-th packet in a Foundry ServerIron. 3. BAD SDRAM in almost every line card (also Foundry - FastIrons).

@_rwl @ArubaNetworks @ArubaAPAC 70°C is just a balmy day in Sydney, haha.

The first @ArubaNetworks CX 4100i in ANZ! Ruggedised industrial switching up to 70°C ambient (and -40°C too if you work in Antarctica). @ArubaAPAC

@Srynearson You need more Playstations.. Too many Nintendos

@timcappalli Meh I donno, just haven't had the experience of sitting down and thinking to myself, I wish I had a keyboard so I could write my memoirs on my little watch.
