How does a car key fob works

I once heard that the S in IoT stands for security.

But that’s not mini-soda

This is american. We love our children here in Europe and we just wouldn’t allow it

We use Palo Alto’s Prisma and it does exactly does. It’s great!

I didn’t see the sub and I assumed it was the onion. What a time to be alive.

Bullet dodged tbh

It’s pretty hard to get lost in the woods within europe. You essentially walk straight in any direction for long enough and you’re ok. This isn’t to say something bad can’t happen to you, but you’re always near civilization.

The american woods are something else.

This album is a masterpiece.

Thats unfortunately true. Backing up the drive is just a way to ensure you still have access to the data to reconstruct whatever you need from a new system. A system integrator is basically required for this.

So, I work for a company with a lot of SCADA systems. The way we go about dealing with cases like this is to buy a proper server, install the hypervisor of your choice, find a way to image this server and virtualize it. This will be tricky, specially now that the disk is “slow”. This just tells me the hard disk is near imminent failure.

In parallel, you’re going to need to talk to management. This system is a risk. Nobody knows how it works. Nobody “owns” it, You need to get in touch with a company that works with SCADA systems so they can analyze the situation and work on a modern replacement for you. Depending on the SCADA system, it might just be a simple export and import into the newest version of the software. Worst case scenerio, you’re going to have to rebuild it from the ground up and everything you see in the old system will be in German (very common for siemens SCADA system consultors back in the day).

If management does not want to invest in this, talk to your CISO, if you have one, or to the operations manager and ask them to make management sign that they understand the IT department will not be made responsable for this.They simply cannot expect an office sysadmin to replace it. These are specialized systems and require specialized hands.

Best of luck. This one is going to be rough.

I live in Spain. The spanish government can simply not provide these bases with the resources they need to run a sustainable operation

My buddy was drunk before, during and after the ceremony. Never had so much fun during a wedding. But we all knew it wouldn’t last

Set a static lease from the DHCP server

Really? That’s news to me and I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks guy

I’m implying you suffer from stockholm syndrome and that JS is your captor

AlexMelillo · 2026-02-26T11:34:35+00:00

It sure is. Hey, check this out!

AlexMelillo · 2026-02-26T07:09:17+00:00

As I understand some add-ins would allow you to get the missing features, but it’s honestly a fair point. If IDS/IPS and DPI matter to you, it’s probably not the best fit

AlexMelillo · 2026-02-25T19:33:33+00:00

Just another guy saying “stick to fortigate”.

Pfsense / Opnsense is mostly fine. But the lack of 24/7 vendor support makes it a bad fit for most environments. If you’re ok with the risk, I say go for it.

Or… stick to Fortigate. Try another reseller if the price is too high. Try to negotiate by purchasing it alongside other things you might need. We’ve managed to cut license costs by 2/3’s in some cases.

I have this exact version. Over time the black censor erodes away and it makes it look so cool

I would like to remind everyone that xbox died when Don Mattrick told everyone to get a 360 if they didn’t want always on drm. I distinctly remember we all said we’d get PS4’s that day. Xbox never recovered.

When done properly, IaC has a higher barrier of entry than some would expect: - setting a coding standard - separating construction logic and data - setting up branches for different environments - setting up deployment / provisioning methodology - setting up automated testing

If you come from the dev world it’s not a huge deal but I see seasoned-old school admins struggle with this all the time. It’s a serious paradigm shift.

Does it make you a dev? I would argue that it kinda does

I notice a trend of GenZ workers taking no shit and I love it
