A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

A bunch of young white guys standing out front offering cheap IT services?

"I need 3 guys to help install a router."

The router is a Juniper MX960

I like working in those. JunOS seems to give the most helpful error messages compared to Cisco IOS or Nokia SR OS.

I used to cable them up or swap out PICs, never got a chance to try JunOS though.

Gotcha - we’re on opposite sides of the backplane, so to speak. I’m in the opposite position - I’m an IP tech and frequently coordinate with field techs to migrate our customers’ circuits between service routers, and I’ve never actually seen one of these in person.
