I was basically told the other day, that if I (as a Network Engineer) don’t start using LLMs more regularly, that the vibe coders on my team will replace me with agents.

Let that sink in.

Imagine, an agent, configuring a BGP session, and validating it. MPLS. DWDM.

Yep. Me too. I’m fucking terrified.

Your soldering looks much cleaner than mine, great job! Keep at it. It’s a unique and fun skill.

I found https://github.com/TwiN/gatus recently and its been a welcomed alternative to UptimeKuma (I have many hosts I monitor, so having a configuration file makes it far easier).

I run a Prometheus server at work, for doing ICMP latency checks, thats all I need at home. Gatus is super simple for my needs.

I forward all gmail’s to my new domain, exported my YouTube subscriptions to newpipe and freetube - the only thing I’m working through is TVs… That is still using my actual YouTube account… Google Photos is, unfortunately a thing still, as-is Google Keep. I like using my S-Pen stylus for random notes.

Not planning to change OSes for banking app compatibility. Although, after thinking about it, I really should consider just using a “clean” browser (librewolf, is what I use on desktop) and “dirty” browser (chromium - very little privacy plugins for temperamental websites) – so I can care less about an app supporting a feature.
