Wow gross. Glad you got out, I doubt many of your colleagues did well from the buyout.

Well post the call recording on LinkedIn if you do

Yes, I attribute security significant misconfigurations to a lag between new service deployments and a relevant review by network security (in a business environment. At home it’s just me.)

So I’m running Milestone VMS, Synology NAS and maybe in a day a minecraft server for the kids, which should all be available outside my home. I’m using the mikrotik HexPOE which is my main router/firewall.

Very little is changing over time… I have a proliant salvage server running proxmox with some hosts and the router only port forwards to an NGINX proxy manager instance for the web interfaces on those hosts. I run a synology NAS separate from the proliant hardware that runs through the proxy.

I know I don’t understand it all, and i’m open to suggestions.

Fun fact I made my sales team standardize on Omada for all network hardware we are providing (highrise security systems, so SDN is usually out of scope) I was considering replacing my ubiquiti AC Pro soon, but I didn’t settle on a new model of access point yet. What are the mikrotik wifi APs bad at? if it’s meshing I will only have one.

I didn’t look at The Dude before, but it doesn’t seem depreciated?

forgotten

that’s why that guy seemed so unburdened! I understand him better now

Years ago, another trade worker on a construction site was using their wifi stuff, and mentioned using it at home. I went and picked up the hexPOE router and i’m pretty happy with it, but all i’m doing is port forwarding and I set up a rule to capture all DNS requests and shunt them into my pihole.

The documentation is pretty spiffy and public.

I’m not really sure if this seems good because I don’t know any better, or it’s good because it’s good.

edit Gli-net seems nice, but i’m a stickler of using a WAP separate from the router. I know I pay more.

Any opinion on Mikrotik?

I like step 18

A burner phone with a hotspot would have been cheaper.

Oh damn

I guess you’re normal

Hey don’t be so hard on yourself

You can also use it to fool the rubes around you

Yeah but actual journalism is a cost center

Just generate images and text from the general idea and you are good

That simply isn’t true. All it takes is one good cop to nullify the statement.

So ACAB is true, when you look at the philosophy of it and you separate the identity of the individuals from the job they do.

An individual can commit good acts, that’s not in dispute. An individual police officer can be fair to people and do a good job. That doesn’t make them a good cop, because of the things they aid and abbett through inaction. Holding bad actors accountable is required for justice, and those acts are impossible to perform or are penalized within the structure of policing. An individual officer can’t decline mandatory training that supports a militarization mindset. An individual officer is punished by leadership and the organization if they do try to create internal accountability.

So the structure of it means the only way to be good, is to decline to aid and abbett, which means stop being a cop. If the only way to be good is to not be a cop, that means all cops are bad.

For other absolutes I agree with you, just not this specific one I think it’s a bad example.

Well yeah this is like asking an oboe player how they control pitch, and they respond “different embouchure is the universal way to do it, but adjusting the reed is the best way”

Go look it up if you don’t know what the terms mean

The average user experience has abstracted away understanding how things actually work.

Compounding pharmacies should not be subjected to patents. Then the costs are all local instead of tithes to the corporate clergy.

The moral high ground doesn’t work in war.

They seem to give the average answer, not the correct answer. If you can bound your prompt to the range of the correct answer, great

If you can’t bind the prompt it’s worse than useless, it’s misleading.
