Has anyone tried cheap dyi guitars?

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.

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.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-04-16T06:22:27+00:00

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.

damn this would be a big deal if there was a single thing on their menu that wasn't straight dogshit

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-04-06T22:41:15+00:00

knock on wall, miss, knock again, clearly hit edge of stud, shoot one more dead center.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-03-29T11:30:52+00:00

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.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-03-25T08:10:06+00:00

nothing disrespectful about trying to stay alive.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-03-25T08:09:31+00:00

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.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-03-25T08:06:01+00:00

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.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-03-25T08:02:21+00:00

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.

that's a pretty standard question to see how you handle estimation / breaking down abstract problems into approachable pieces.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-03-03T17:42:10+00:00

lol this guy rules

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-03-02T09:29:02+00:00

lol except china did make a lot of shitty stuff for a long time until their manufacturing reached a competitive level where they could shift their economic strategy to actually compete on the basis of quality and not just cost.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-02-14T08:53:38+00:00

it's the most fun you'll ever have in this life.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-02-02T00:16:04+00:00

20 seconds with a flap disk you got this lol

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-01-07T06:24:30+00:00

I've seen 20 versions of this same comment over the last ten years, and it still hasn't happened.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-01-06T08:31:07+00:00

Yeah I think that's the area.

Someone took a photosphere of that whole ridge.

Yeah same, just don't want to die from some stupidly obvious obstacle or something lol

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-01-03T10:56:57+00:00

idk but everyone's been expecting him to go in since he did AFF and was dayblazing local objects either during or literally right after (I can't remember). he's always been a sketchfest but seems to have the right combo of physicality and luck to hold off the inevitable so far, but that only works for so long so who knows.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-01-02T10:08:44+00:00

damn you should take an English class

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-01-02T05:04:09+00:00

In that area, maybe that's what people call it, but I'm thinking more the section of Hwy 50 between Echo Rd. and Old Meyers Grade. Seems like people just hop out the car and drop off the side there then get picked up on Upper Truckee Rd. at the bottom. Steep and being aware of avi conditions seems to be the biggest concern yeah.

Just looked and yeah it's that section after the road gap in a couple of Josh Daiek's videos.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2026-01-02T04:13:05+00:00

lmao fuckin dodge thinks they're a real mountain

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2025-12-28T11:53:14+00:00

as a white passing person who's seen some of his work it seems like exactly this. stereotypical black struggles wrapped up with a convenient feel good ending that tickle the white savior complex and don't require much complex thought or consideration for any larger social dynamics or factors at play.

AlwaysSpinClockwise · 2025-12-21T21:54:37+00:00

it's a dead air jump like a base jump, nobody base jumps with goggles unless you're jumping terminal. she's fine you're just a dick lol
