This is some incredibly janky shit. I’m exhausted and kind of proud

Ok ok I splain you my genius network engineering degree design - I bought a hotspot, found an ancient repeater with Ethernet out, repeated the hotspot and plugged my entire network into the repeater.

This is why I have a diploma from a really expensive university I think. Also, explaining subnetting and vlans while drunk.

I wish I could hold my liquor well enough to understand vlans.

@ian @hacks4pancakes I thought those were more of a psilocybin thing.

@ian @hacks4pancakes @peejaybee If there was a table of pharmacological interventions best utilized for particular stunt tech tasks, I’d appreciate it if you would share.

@patmikemid @ian @hacks4pancakes Well, I don't really have any particular knowledge, just a sense that whoever came up with vlans must have been in a totally different reality from us.

@ian now i want a video of @hacks4pancakes explaning subnetting using various liquor bottles as packets…

@ian @hacks4pancakes Right? Vlans are not to be understood by mere human though. By suppressing that, it is possible to obtain a configuration that works, yet doesn't make any sense.

@ian @hacks4pancakes I will fully admit that everyone else is like 1000x smarter than I am, but weirdly VLANs are one of those things that I do understand, without liquor. Now, could I explain it to someone, that’s debatable.

@ian @hacks4pancakes I'm currently trying to apply my Cisco education to a Ubiquity network and it's not going well. There's a lot of Captain Morgan involved.

@ian @hacks4pancakes It’s like a regular LAN, but virtual. And then there are all these hardware specific limitations on what you can do due to the underlying ASICs of the switch.

@ian @hacks4pancakes vlans are just packets with additional metadata slapped on them, that the network pretends it can’t see unless it’s told explicitly that it’s ok.
