Knowing VIM does not make one a better sys-admin. You can be an idiot, and still know how to drive Vi/Vim. There is FAR FAR FAR more to managing an OS and than that. If you think requiring VIM is enough to keep unknowledgeable people away from servers, you are probably the one who shouldn’t be managing servers.

There’s a sysadmin at my place who does exactly that. He’s kind of an idiot too.

That would at least be proper tech news if that happened.

Like the joke of old:

When reporters asked (Alan) Shepard what he thought about as he sat atop the Redstone rocket, waiting for liftoff, he had replied, ‘The fact that every part of this ship was built by the lowest bidder.’

In my instance, that fiber cable terminates outside of my house. I didn’t realize CenturyLink ever routed fiber inside the house.

What I was trying to say is that you shouldn’t need their special modem. They gave me that same modem, and it’s sitting on a shelf un-plugged in. I’m only using my own equipment.

I have quantum fiber at home, and I don’t use their provided modem. The fiber terminates outside my house, and a cat5 cable was run into my utility closet, which plugs into the modem.

I have a Unifi USG router, and have the WAN configured for PPPoE login (you will have to get that login from the provided modem, or ask their support people).

You also have to set the VLAN ID to: 201

So as long as you can set VLAN ID on your WAN, and do PPPoE, you shouldn’t need their provided modem.

You will be required to eat tofu every night.

The real sacrifices are the friendzones we make along the way.
