This worked great. Just a few comments: 1. i have a Ring alarm system, and you don't have to worry about aligning the two parts of the contact sensor in a certain direction, as long as they are parallel and no more than 1 inch apart. The directions do warn you to allow at least a half inch space on the side of the part that holds the battery, so that you can slide the battery compartment open, to change the battery. 2. I had to use WD-40 on the hinge, so that it would be loose enough to work. 3. I discovered that there is a one-minute delay from the time you set the alarm, to the time it is actually armed. There is also a one-minute delay from the time the contact sensor connection breaks, until the alarm goes off. I wonder if there's a way to shorten those times. ???

Great video! That's the gnarliest ethernet cable I've ever seen!

The simple act of untwisting the strands may have been enough to introduce CRCs errors as well. Great video!

I too went from cable guy to Network engineer. Got my CCNA then it was up up from there.

Great video! Although, one suggestion would be to disable the subtitles since they block most of the view of the CLI.

Matt Damon?

lol, you gotta proofread your subtitles man. Nyx vs NICs and a few others.

The embedded subtitles are blocking the shell output

‘hop limit’ is the term in the context of IPV6. The TTL incremented for some non-IP network layer protocols such as IPX.

Great Layer 2 video - keep us updated on the journey!

I thought he was Matt Damon too 😂😂😂

Andy, thank you also for your blog on story telling. It was excellent!!!

Thank you for sharing Andy. Right now I am running Proxmox on a Dell 720XD with 48TB hard Disk Space and 256GB of memory. On EVE-NG

I like the fact that you can create links while running, unlike eve-ng. 200$ per year isn't that bad, maybe you'll be done with the professional once the trial is over.

That is a beefy server compared to what I'm running!

This was a great video. Congrats! I too was a cable technician-for 15 years. The trap of being a cable guy, especially a cable contractor, is you never have time for anything other than the job (6 day work weeks, 11+ hours per day). I always wanted to get out, but never had the time to study to do something else. I am currently working as a Network Administrator and studying to obtain my CCNA. It’s a great thing to see talented cable techs make it out of the grind!

Been a residential and commercial A/V tech for 5 years in attics under houses burying lines retrofitting pre wiring smh. Making my transition to network engineer are there any other certifications you think would help out on this journey and I have experience setting up networks

i had the same path cable guy -> noc help desk -> network engineer.

Or you can just put a motion sensor on your door 🤷‍♂️

Very inspirational.Thanks for sharing

Has the velcro survived winters and still works?

Love your story. How old were you when you made the transition from cable to IT

I really appreciate this video. Thank you. I'm on my way.

Fuck man I’m stuck pulling fiber, I need change

I watched this video 2 years ago. I was a cable technician working 6 to 7 days a week. Life was miserable. Got sick of that life, quit my job, spent 9 months at home studying full time. Got my Sec+, Net+, CySA+ and about to get my CCNA. As of February 2024, I'm a network administrator L2, starting net eng bachelor's degree paid by my employer and I've never been so happy. Thank you for the inspiration you gave me 2 years ago.

I like your name LOL

Same dude,stuck doing cabling

Incredible story. I was a cable tech (pulling data cables) and I was sick of getting paid so little and going to dusty construction sites where no one respected you. I am now a Data Center Engineer looking to get my CCNA to hopefully become a Network Engineer.

thank you so much andy

so smart! thanks for sharing!

Great video super helpful

does anyone know if this device lets you attach a ssd drive. So the ssd drive has its own sata power to teh drive but the sata data from the drive gets plugged in to this device with the 9 pin usb connection. I heard that usb 2 mother board headers only allow 2 usb splits but would this device work lets say the same wiring set up above but with 3 ssd drives connected to the hub

Did you ever try the sensor between the trolley and the track? Any past experience with it working or not working?

Thank you for this ❤

Important thing to remember is that this is being installed on an insulated door. But, this is a really smart. Plus, the probability of an intruder seeing it is low. Good build.

My friend your the best. Thanks 👍

I've been doing the cable thing for about 3 years. Im currently taking the Comptia A+ classes, but going to do the CCNA class after i complete the COMPTIA courses( Linux, security +, network + ,) all of those certification.

Awesome idea. Thanks!

This is fantastic!

Thank you making this video!!! Huge lifesaver!!!!😇

Try to help

Hi, you r from Netherlands... try to help me .. I want to work in the field...

Congratulations brother, dreams do come true. I want to do what you did, but I'm already in IT, at helpdesk now and trying to climb my way out. Thanks for the video!

Very inspirational. I'm striving to become a network engineer

same here!!!

Great idea, i also have an older door and used the manual spring loaded latches for mine.

Great video, thank you
