NetEng 🔧
Traceroute Limitations Explained walks through a history of the beloved tracert (wait, was it traceroute on this platform or…?), as well as some limitations and tidbits you might not know about 😋
VMware End Of Availability of Perpetual Licensing and SaaS Services means the end of free ESXi to lab with, and the chance your VM Admins might start using something else like Nutanix, Proxmox, Xen or other as a 🤪 Hypervisor Baremetal instead
Navigating MTU Concerns in IPv6 Deployments because IPv6 fragments, but not like you’d expect from your IPv4 scars 🫣
Brace yourself, IPv6 is coming (to AWS) proves you shouldn’t rely on us for financial advice, as this kicked in on the 1st Feb, but as of then all Public IPv4 addressing will cost 💲 you about $4 per month
Learn UNIX & Networking if you’ve ever wanted to go through Linux fundamentals aligned to NetEng concepts, this is your guide 📚
