Absolutely proprietary

see if the LB is accessible directly via the internet. DNS management at medium sized corpos is usually a clusterfuck so it’s definitely a non-zero chance.

Can confirm lmao

Yeah, exactly. My attitude is you can cook your own damn books, don’t expect me to log anything other than the actual accurate time. Although I work at a company where we have no time tracking at all, good to be free of it

That was truly strange, awesome

Haha sounds so familiar.

The duality of “we’re a tech company! :D” on the outside and “IT is a good for nothing cost centre >:(“ on the inside

To have an easier time with another language (which the first language’s valid syntax is a superset of) which it papers over the faults of. And usually it’s pretty thin paper.

Interesting, self hosting crossplane. What do you use it for?

I miss xfire too.

So that’s what happened to them

It is very doable.

Take a look at https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun - it’s what I use for this.

Ahh, woah, I never thought about the huge address space would affect network scans and such.

With NAT on IPv4 I set up port forwarding at my router. Where would I set up the IPv6 equivalent?

I guess assumptions I have at the moment are that my router is a designated appliance for networking concerns and doing all the config there makes sense, and secondly any client device to be possibly misconfigured. Or worse, it was properly configured by me but then the OS vendor pushed an update and now it’s misconfigured again.

Maybe I have Stockholm Syndrome, but I like NAT. It’s like, due to the flaws of IPv4 we basically accidentally get subnets segmented off, no listening ports, have to explicitly configure port forwarding to be able to listen for connections, which kinda implies you know what you’re doing (ssshh don’t talk about UPnP). Accidental security of a default deny policy even without any firewalls configured. Haha. I’m still getting into this stuff though, please feel free to enlighten me

Mass media kinda already does this. Paging Edward Bernays!

I think Asimov had some thoughts on this subject

Wild that we’re at this point now

Praise the sunaurus!
