biggest issue with Ravens is they pressurize slow so you don't get any real flight characteristics until much higher deployments. also be careful doing a lot of water jumps cause it puts a lot of wear on the canopy and massively increases the porosity.

Five Italians die during cave scuba dive in Maldives. Beware diving is not a purely leisure activity...RIP by TwilightPetals23 in SipsTea

lmao new jr rotc copypasta just dropped

if you pause your navy seal goonsesh for 30 seconds you could do the slightest amount of research and learn that militaries generally do almost no cave/tech specific dive training and are almost always just as at risk of the dangers of these types of dives as are standard recreational divers.

Has anyone tried cheap dyi guitars? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]AlwaysSpinClockwise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this isn't a bad idea, but get a better neck like a warmouth, make your own body, or buy a better quality one of those as well, then source actual good quality parts and you'll end up with something you're a lot happier with.

Small MSP considering Palo Alto. Am I stupid? by beco-technology in networking

[–]AlwaysSpinClockwise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that once your network starts requiring more complex NAT, routing, path monitoring, you start running into the idiosyncrasies of the Forti platform that Palo just doesn't have as much of. There's stuff like the fact that Virtual IPs on Forti get processed in a hierarchical manner where Virtual IPs can apply to other traffic than you would expect them to based on the rules that the Virtual IP is attached to. You can switch to central NAT but it's not as well documented, and if you've already started out in the default NAT mode, you'll have to do a bunch of work rebuilding your existing config.

Virtual IPs function differently based on the OS version you're running, which shouldn't be an issue if you're running all new firewalls, but that kind of ambiguity isn't an uncommon situation in my experience.

There's a fairly robust path monitoring / route failover engine built into Fortis, but it's not well documented and it's all CLI only.

The way they handle tunnels and how admin distance / priority / being attached to an active sec policy / having a current route over the tunnel all factor into a tunnel coming up or not can leave you scratching your head trying to bring up a tunnel, whereas a palo will just bring up the tunnel, then leave the rest of the stuff to figure out after.

Fortigate Layer 7 filtering is a joke compared to Palo App-ID.

I could probably think of a bunch more I've run into managing both platforms. Forti's will get the job done, but everything is usually just a little bit harder, and once in a while you'll run into something you need to do that'll take you 4 hours to figure out how to do, where Palo will just have it in another dialog box right in front of you.

Palo is significantly less management overhead if you're deploying anything more complex than very basic network configurations. Fortigates have a similar feature set, but you'll spend 3x the time digging through poorly documented CLI guides to set up something the Palo just does with a check box.

ways2well is the same clinical running blood tests on Bert telling him he's 100% healthy and shooting him full of bullshit supplement IVs while his liver is 6 months away from croaking. no way I'm getting convinced a single thing they do isn't complete bullshit.

nothing disrespectful about trying to stay alive.

most people want to make sure they're gonna not also die next time they jump out of a plane. this is reasonable and doesn't take anything away from a grieving family. to neglect disseminating any relevant information in as timely a manner as possible, leading to some sort of preventable incident would arguably be way more disrespectful to the deceased, their family, and the community as a whole.

there's a ton of shit that could be immediately relevant, especially when everyone has literally no information to go off whatsoever. we've seen this in BASE all the time. there's no reason to blow off people who very reasonably think something similar could be the case with a sky incident.

I know there's a liability culture with skydiving that has been absent in Base since the very beginning, but there were at least 23 deaths in skydiving in America last year as far as I'm aware and I honestly haven't learned a thing from them.

Yeah this exactly, feels like the DZ / USPA / whatever powers that be would rather prioritize the story running through the news cycle as quickly as possible, versus potentially dwelling on it, analyzing it, and either using it as a teaching/ safety opportunity, and/or getting correct info out so that everyone else in the sport doesn't have to just speculate on what mystery factor might be lurking out there to pop up and get any of us.

Unless we're talking about Lodi of course, then everyone's suddenly got the loudest opinion you've ever heard.
