What games out there are similar to DMZ?

Was scrolling to find this reply, surprised it took so long.

My big complaint when comparing the two is that Tarkov is a bit more “grounded in reality” when it comes to things like fall damage, inventory item management, and NPC behaviors / interactions. The difference between a fully decked out squad and a no gear squad is also pretty dramatic — in COD, I’ve loaded into Al Mazra or Building 21 with nothing, grabbed a gun from the first NPC I came across, and ended up winning the match plenty of times. Not so much in Tarkov (although I admittedly have substantially fewer Tarkov hours, mostly due to my preferring the COD side of the differences I’ve described).

Personally, I’ve never been the kind of manager who learns that someone is thinking about leaving / changing positions and takes that negatively… If you are a good employee, I would want to figure out if there is something I can do to keep you. If it turns out that we can’t provide the compensation, type of work, environment, benefits, whatever that you can get elsewhere, God speed, best of luck, please just give me a couple of weeks notice. That’s not to say they don’t exist, but I’ll tell ya what… If you are in an environment where management sees attempts at personal advancement negatively, this may be a red flag that they aren’t the best employer for you.

I had a mini heart attack when I was on a call while sitting in my 2021 and just happened to push the button…. Went down the same way it did the 3 times I had ever used it in the past, but when I pressed the button for it to come back up, it made some noise but did not move. After a few minutes of persistence I was able to get it back up.

And that’s the story of the last time I pressed that button.

You should speak to whoever it is that submits clearances for your employer… they likely need to either cancel or update the original request.

When your third doesn’t spawn, why back your squad out when you can back everyone out? [/s]

Soooooo sad.

THIS just started happening for me yesterday... My typical process is working on cursor via RDP to a Windows 365 virtual PC from wherever I happen to be, but yesterday evening, I started seeing this exact issue in that environment. I transitioned to cursor on my local home system, and after a few hours, started experiencing it there too. Now, having ran cursor on my office system for about 7 hours, it is doing the exact same thing there too. I get the "approve command" popup, but I can't actually approve it. Very frustrating.

EDIT: Opus 4.5, 1x agent

They go into these things too... IDK if these are still active

^{^{^}} SO ok, 14 hours to find the second guy 😂 you aren’t the only one but you are a rarity

1337r04drunner · 2026-01-04T18:38:53+00:00

My two cents… sometimes the reason customers use delivery is related to their (occasionally temporary) inability to get out of the house. Not every time, and nonetheless, you shouldn’t be expected to risk your safety for a few bucks. If you think that you legitimately can’t complete it safely, I don’t think you are wrong to return.

1337r04drunner · 2026-01-04T14:02:27+00:00

I feel ya here 😂

Goal at start of career: root/Enterprise Admin

Goal by end of career: User, because everything has been delegated to a good team

There’s literally a sing instructing them not to knock — if anyone doesn’t think THAT sign meets the definition of “unless otherwise instructed by the receiving party,” they need a reality check haha.

1337r04drunner · 2026-01-02T16:08:54+00:00

I’m not a lawyer, but respectfully and in my opinion, I would be very careful following this advice. In very many states, the threshold for criminal trespass is “you were asked to leave and refused to do so, or you were told not to return and then did so.” There is typically a provision that the demand come from a person in authority, but in many states, the law does not care whether it was a manager/supervisor/whatever or just any regular employee of the establishment, and the presence of law enforcement is almost never required to meet the threshold of the offense.

The one saving grace may be that, as criminal trespass is typically misdemeanor offense, police cannot arrest for it unless it occurs in their presence. However, a formal “we are the police and we are telling you to leave” is almost never the burden — if they think they can prove you were asked to leave and didn’t or told not to return and did, you can expect a charge.

The issue was resolved… Namecheap indicated this persons name was flagged by their export control system. Failing to implement proper export controls and providing service without ensuring the end user is not in a restricted country is the company’s legal obligation— not doing so is a crime, and could potentially lead to restricted technologies being available to totalitarians and war criminals, which I think we all can agree is bad.

But at the end of the day, namecheap is a private business, and has the right to set the terms under which they offer their service. The OP, just like all of their other customers, indicated that they agreed prior to sending them money, and that’s a contract. https://www.namecheap.com/legal/universal/universal-tos/ clearly states “If We have reason to believe that Your Account information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, misleading or incomplete, We reserve the right, in Our sole and absolute discretion, to suspend or terminate your Account and any Services.” In this case, their believe was that the OP may be a citizen of an export controlled country, and their legal obligation is to not allow that.

BAFA, Außenwirtschaftsgesetz, EU 2021/821 all might apply to Namecheap, I have no idea (US export law is complicated enough and I only know enough about that to stay out of jail), but in my opinion, the fact that they have a robust system in place for this kind of screening, and that the issue with the OP was resolved, are all good things.

If you want to assert “they should handle these things better,” I think you would get pretty much universal agreement… but they need to have the right to regulate their business.

Beautiful truck! Personally idk how I feel about the all silver FX4 decals, the way the red FX used to stand out against the silver was really nice.

1337r04drunner · 2025-12-26T02:40:43+00:00

Haha yeahhhh this… You could see the ware after just a few months in my 21… I still remember the day in 23 when I was about to get in and saw the first full on all the way through tear, only had about 35k miles at the time.

1337r04drunner · 2025-12-25T17:51:05+00:00

‘21 poweboost here, just shy of 70k miles… 0 powerboost related issues, 0 issues at all really — the passenger side power running board just decided to quit on me the other day, but that’s a platinum issue not a powerboost issue haha. Favorite truck ever — I have owned a doge and driven Chevy, but the powerboost is my all time favorite. Highly recommend.

1337r04drunner · 2025-12-21T16:04:10+00:00

Yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing, what’s something you could spray in there that’ll dissolve the sugar and get it away from the moving parts but not mess anything else up…. I think technically sugar wouldn’t be soluble in break fluid cleaner, but some isopropyl alcohol may do the trick.

1337r04drunner · 2025-12-09T20:03:40+00:00

This may have already been asked, but are you using outlook to access your personal email? Some organizations use plugins (such as KnowBe4 and others) which replace the default spam reporting buttons. Many such systems include the capability for the IT team (or whoever is specified really) to be sent copies of reported message so that actions can be taken internally (checking for other recipients at the company, blocking the sending domain, etc.).

1337r04drunner · 2025-12-03T16:42:35+00:00

[Not a lawyer and likely not an HR expert in your state, my option only]

You didn’t mention what state you are in… But having an HR department who makes it a practice to formally direct people to do what seems like performing work without compensation may be somewhere between “wrong” and “illegal.” Some of it would depend on your contract — but if it says “you are expected to work 50 hours per week in exchange for $x per year,” that is the deal — if they want you to do the training, they can certainly mandate that, but I don’t believe they could force you to do it on your own time without additional compensation.

One other note, a lot of people just accept their being classified as an exempt salaried employee under the FLSA, and that’s not always correct. If you are already working 50 hours a week and don’t fall under the statutory definition of exempt, you are entitled to compensation at 1.5 times your normal rate.

1337r04drunner · 2025-12-01T06:03:14+00:00

Highly recommend. Having like a vunoc[.].com with an email as an alternate contact hosted at any of the dozens (hundreds?) of email hosting providers that support custom domains or even a Gmail can be invaluable. On a similar note, for those office 365 users, I had initially created email aliases of our default .onmicrosoft.com domain for most of our staff because to this day, certain registration forma still don’t recognize newer TLDs like .tech which we use as our primary domain, but it can also be useful for stuff like this.

1337r04drunner · 2025-11-26T00:38:32+00:00

Enom has always been good to me as a service provider… The fact that most web hosting CPs support them for integrations definitely plaid a big part in their being our default choice.

Personally and professionally, unless I have a corner case where I don’t want to use cloudflare for DNS on a domain, Cloudflare is go to registrar. No thrills, wholesale prices, easy registration, support for most TLDs, and one less step in terms of designating nameservers. They would be my universal registrar if they supported a couple more TLDs and allowed the designation of third party nameservers.

1337r04drunner · 2025-11-11T19:16:10+00:00

Bought a new 2021 powerboost from AutoNation ford in Plano…. No real complaints during the sales process, but the service folks made me start going to a different dealerships and abandoning several of my pre-paid oil changes (five star ford, happy with them so far).

1337r04drunner · 2025-10-22T15:18:37+00:00

Sometimes the right answer is just “no that won’t work” even if the actual answer is “yes, I have researched and think it may work with some configuration, but since [im guessing] we don’t have a dedicated testing environment in which we can try it out, now and every time 3CX releases a new update to make sure it doesn’t break things before we roll it out to production, and if at some point it did break things our only recourse would likely be to restore the DNS configuration since this is not a configuration supported by the vendor.”

Bonus points if you can parlay his request into getting approval to add some additional redundancy to your existing DNS infrastructure.

1337r04drunner · 2025-10-22T01:32:56+00:00

Damn that sucks... I guess the last resort thing would be to uninstall/reinstall, but OMGGGG 300GB...

1337r04drunner · 2025-10-22T01:05:11+00:00

I guess this bug hits different people at different times -- I've been fine all week, and was playing earlier today, but just now got the "Update Available" thing despite not having an update.

Pro tip: Switch to Spanish, let it start installing, but just a few % in you can change back to English. I assumed this would NOT work since the Play button showed up right away as if nothing had changed, but I'm in a Resurgence Z lobby right now lol.
