Yeah, that’s the guy, I think.

Go away, Sam Altman

That’s more of an OnlyFans thing

I’m intrigued. The search results are more akin to how they used to be 25 years ago on the internet that I loved
Https://Search.marginalia.nu is definitely something I’ll be exploring going forward!

Not necessarily. It can be, but it all depends on which nodes you get when you connect. If I end up on slow nodes I usually just reconnect, and it’s fine.

iptables -I APPEALS -j DROP

“I hereby sentence you to two years on your own VLAN with no gateway”

I should make a key macro that binds asd/aoe to grabbing data from /dev/urandom and using that to generate three random ascii letters.

Yup. The other day, a friend messaged me “asd” over steam to indicate he was online and ready to play something. I responded in kind, but he thought I was suggesting we play Age of Empires instead of our usual Project Zomboid.

Depends on your approach, but only open the minimum amount of ports necessary. Fail2ban is a good idea.

Consider a strict default deny iptables that also affects the output table - in case someone does get in, this will limit the damage one can do by making it part of a botnet.

Personally I like to isolate any exposed servers on its own vlan, so in case of compromise, it won’t affect any of the other hardware I’m running.

Also, most routers have less strict security if the connection is coming from the inside. Make sure any access methods to your router is secure.

I blame their parents!

Perl is partially readable, provided that it’s your own code. The one thing perl coders hate the most, is other people’s code.

“Gods, that’s stupid. Why is it being done this way? Have they never heard of naming conventions? Is the language really that awfully designed?”

“Yup…”

I think he wanted a different type of job. I, on the other hand, recently moved on to 30% greener pa$ture$, as the competition successfully poached me. Same type of job, exactly the same area of responsibility (networks and server clusters running in weird/hostile environments (no, not the Hamas installation under that hospital)), but with even more freedom and higher budget.

In my case, I get the impression that it’s both.
Once during 2020 I got a phone call out of the blue from the technical manager. “Hey, would you like to be our new <first name of the one who used to hold that position>?”. Turns out my predecessor was looking for greener pastures.

When I told some coworkers about this, their reaction was “And you said yes??”

It’s been four years now. Changed to a new employer last month, but I’m doing the exact same stuff, and I enjoy it.
