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?

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

Are you a bot or something?

Please answer in ASCII semaphore or French if you don’t know semaphore.

Yup. And then credit it against standard deduction rates so that 🤡s owning multiple unoccupied homes pay real amounts while your grandmother pays pennies

Like a normal tax system, you doink

Zero cashflow retirees are not a thing.

ALL states have property tax.

You don’t know what you are talking about if you don’t understand how taxes are offset and credited. You are just whining about not wanting to participate in society.

Taxes pay for things, go get educated.

Why not

Taxes bad?

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.
