I was really impressed with the Zagg Santa Cruz Snap case for my 17 Pro, but after putting on the @dbrand Ghost case today, I don’t think I can go back. Coming from an iPhone 13, the 17 Pro felt like a brick in my hands, heavy and blocky.

The Ghost case brought the weight and profile waaaayyyy down. My wife’s iPhone 17 with the same Zagg case is just 5 grams heavier now even though the Pro is 29 grams heavier, just phones.

I'm teaching a class on network troubleshooting this Friday the 15th. The first way to troubleshoot faster is to not troubleshoot at all, or to build resilient networks. The first section of this class considers the nature of resilience, and how design tradeoffs result in different levels of resilience. The class then moves into a theoretical understanding of failures, how network resilience is measured, and how the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) relates to human and machine-driven factors. One of these factors is the unintended consequences arising from abstractions, covered in the next section of the class. learning.oreilly.com/live-ev…

Because of Sunday’s storm, @CityMebane is experiencing a critical water shortage. The @alamancechamber at 610 S Lexington Ave, Burlington, is collecting water donations to be distributed in Mebane. All assistance is appreciated #ncpol
The City has enacted Stage 5 Mandatory Water Restrictions due to the offline Graham-Mebane Water Plant. Water supply is critically low—ALL non-essential water use is prohibited. Only grocery stores, pharmacies, & healthcare facilities may operate. Visit cityofmebanenc.gov/ for more info. #PublicNotice

My assumption for @RealWesPurvis client stats he’s sharing is that the SSIDs are the same across all 3 bands. There are some that have been using and recommending different SSIDs to separate security types on the different bands which could result in different private MACs #MFD13

Are we close to getting Marvis Actions for Mist Edges? #MFD13

In this blog post, I wrote about why I decided to try and leverage the Mist API and Python to automate the downloading of our maps, the locations of our APs on those maps, and the pictures of those APs for offline storage. What do you think? thepacketologist.com/2025/04…

Little nugget I picked up last night at the NetAlly event… Did you know that you can pair units together? For example, you can link an AirCheck G3 and LinkSprinter together to get cable test results from the LinkSprinter sent to the AirCheck automatically? #AlwaysLearning #WLPC
