A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors.

Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes.

RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: about 2 years ago

If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago

Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: over 2 years ago

Sometimes, though, even support is not enough and you do need medication. For me personally, I went way too long without medication, and getting on ADHD meds and antidepressants was the best thing I ever did for myself. There is no shame in it either; brain chemistry isn't something we have much control over, yet it affects SO much of our thoughts and behaviors. If you have a general doctor you can see, perhaps it... Source: over 2 years ago

For mental health treatment, look for places that offer sliding scale treatment. There's also lemonaidhealth.com and khealth.com. The first one offers depression and anxiety treatment starting from 25/month and the second site is 12/month and both are telehealth services. I'm not affiliated nor have I used them. Any script they write, get the goodrx app for discounts at a pharmacy. Source: almost 3 years ago

Is she trying to get on birth control to regulate them? If that’s mostly what the call would be about, I’d def say it’s worth it! There are several good sites to use for BC. Try http://lemonaidhealth.com. Source: almost 3 years ago
