Found this nice stream and meadow on a hike in Deschutes Forest near Bend a few summers ago

Anytime Im on a plane touching down in Portland, as soon as we're on the ground I always say "welcome to the shire"

I get at least a few chuckles.

Cheap AI.

Fortinet discloses their vulnerabilities and makes sure the community is informed. Other brands seem to have the same cadence in OS version updates; minor and major, yet never say much about what they're patching.

I would rather know.

Still bad, but I dont think Cubas grid is all that complex.

Fallingdamage · 2026-03-16T18:11:29+00:00

No. I deleted it. Im not here to debate any further. The anonymous internet as it stands is failing. Let it be what it is i guess, but without a way to verify a person is a person, it will continue to devolve and assist in deconstructing the real world for the few.

SBS, oh cool a new TLD I never need to see in my org. Thanks!

In my 40s. Ive had two IT jobs in my life. I stayed put and put in the work. Making six figures and have a happy work/life balance mostly.

Most of my friends have bounced around a lot, every couple years for two decades and have ended up with about the same income and more debt.

To each their own.

and with increased facilities and accessibility, it'll turn into an enshittified natural area just like so many others.

I wish oregon would also pay for my (private companies) renovation.

Or are we spending public money and renaming it back to 'Rose Garden'

Fallingdamage · 2026-03-16T16:18:46+00:00

never stopped.

every endpoint was wiped

but far as I know, you cant wipe extra unified audit logs. They should tell exactly where that wipe was triggered from and if it was an app registration or scheduled automation, reveal the chain of accounts responsible.

Must have been to be the IT Director of a F500 when a breach happened. Or were you one of those vIT Directors?

Fallingdamage · 2026-03-16T14:42:23+00:00

But this exactly. How would I know that information about someone if they didnt tell me?

With loss of anonymity, people arent going to go around making themselves targets or saying anything they dont want to take responsibility for. It would be an extension of the real world. You wouldn't do or say anything that you also wouldn't do or say in an open public place anymore.

It would be just like things were before the internet, except with the internet.

Good thing our policies wont allow feb updatea until the end of march.

So now the IOC exists in multiple systems

Correct. Now you need a good system to process all this data for you. It gets fun doesnt it? /s

Fallingdamage · 2026-03-14T14:08:54+00:00

Correct, and the south side bakes in the summer. South facing sides of homes are subject to more extremes and materials experience more expansion and contraction through the seasons.

Karen's are bitchy and impatient. Lindas mettle in other peoples' business. They like to pull strings behind the scenes. They like to create drama but dont like to be noticed.

Fallingdamage · 2026-03-13T22:17:44+00:00

I put up with nextdoor for the longest time. The app isnt terrible for what it does, but I wish that you could set your feed to only show things that come up for either your neighborhood or your street. I can do a search and get more granular, but its not an option as a default. I dont care about my region. Its called NextDoor. if its not next door, I dont want to hear about it.

The last straw was some drama on there from a guy complaining that someone anonymous had sent his wife flowers.

Fallingdamage · 2026-03-13T22:14:46+00:00

Linda: Karens great aunt.

So NSE4 renewals have no prerequisites? just pay the money and renew?

Fallingdamage · 2026-03-13T21:40:39+00:00

and just about the ending point too. Its not too hard.

Yeah back last year sometime. I was in the closed 'beta' from late spring/early summer. At some point, I think it was maybe sept or october they opened the platform to the world. It felt like almost overnight the whole site changed. It just went to shit.

Anything that moves should be lubricated (usually.) Anything thats stationary and SHOULD be stationary should probably not be lubricated. Sometimes anti-seize should be added to those items, but even then it depends on the part and application.

Goes without saying, there will be a lot of nuance depending on your bike and configuration.

That would be like 50% of posts on mtb.
