Some long time Wireshark users commented that it was a good refresher and they actually learned a new thing or two, while others new to Wireshark enjoyed the info and pace.
One of my favorite things, particularly in this pandemic-era of working from home, has to be the Internet. It is also one of my least favorite things. The reason it made both of my lists is not complicated, and perhaps best explained by this metaphor – the Internet is like the most extensive library on the planet, containing every document, book, work of art, song, movie, TV show, play – everything ever published – uncurated and piled in a giant heap in the middle of the floor. The Internet presents us with a wealth of information, but is also fuels anxiety, narcissism, and hateful, anonymous trolling. As a favorite ... cancelled.As much as I enjoy the instant satisfaction with a physical cleanup, I actually enjoy documentation. It's a great way to decompress and review the equipment/location I just worked on.
I can't tell you how many times I spot issues or recommend changes as I document. the odd time I can find solutions to existing problems. I always make it a point to document whatever i;m working on so I have a point of reference and for my clients. Just in case I'm not around and someone else needs to figure something out.
Documentation doesn't have to be anything fancy with multi-layer Visio drawings. Even a simple Powerpoint with some squares and lines with notes is good enough.
Heres a photo of my desk with my 3 monitors: so I can have all my information up in front of me.
