Coffee roaster...
Created a recursive function to raise a number to any power.
def recurPower(base, exp):
'''
base: int or float.
exp: int >= 0

returns: int or float, base^exp
'''
prod = base
if exp == 0:
return 1
else:
return prod*recurPower(base, exp-1)

Sounds like something Stalin would do.
Last week, the Republican Party of Texas implied it would censure any GOP Texas House member who does not vote for Rep. David Cook as speaker.

Under new party rules, that would bar those lawmakers from running in Republican primaries for two years. www.texastribune.org/2024/12/13/t...
A new Texas GOP rule could alter the House speaker’s race — and ban some Republicans from appearing in primaries
Republicans who vote against party leaders’ preferred candidate could be barred from running in primaries. Lawsuits could follow.

Just received the book "CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Foundation, 2nd Edition" by Narbik Kocharians. Loving that EVE-NG Labs are provided. Normally end up reverse engineering labs. Great time saver and learning aid.

Working on a lab in EVE-NG to migrate an HA FDM pair to FMC. Goal is to break HA, register the FTD that was split out, and register it with FMC. Afterwards, deploy a similar config via FMC, then ultimately add the remaining FTD to an HA pair in FMC. All with minimal outage. #FTD #FMC

Does six degrees of separation apply to BGP AS Paths?

Latest coffee roast. A Burundi Dry Process Kibingo bean. A favorite. Can't get coffee like this anywhere locally.

Going through Routing TCP/IP Volume II. Wished I had picked this up years ago. Currently working on the topology for Route Filtering Techniques in EVE-NG.
