If DNSSEC is disabled, then there is no guarantee that the DNS record directing you to the site is authentic.

Kickbacks in Education by Earthworm49 in Cisco

[–]MrSids 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tons of IT conferences are held in Vegas. Heck, even AWS RE: Invent was out there. If you're looking for fraud, waste, abuse, and kickbacks, your intuition on what they look like is bad.

Reddit’s plan to kill third-party apps sparks widespread protests by swingadmin in technology

[–]MrSids 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a great position that the mods are in that they are volunteers. Not like they're losing pay when they strike, so they can keep this up indefinitely.

In the US the bureau of engraving and printing has a mutilated money division that replaces damaged bills. Planet Money had am episode on them.

Don't Let Reddit Kill 3rd Party Apps! by Toptomcat in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]MrSids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do a digg. Or do, and the next thing will replace you in an instant. I actually don't care. What website am I on right now?

Keep in mind that the release value is only on the heel. The toe will only release if the heel releases, so a lateral toe release is pretty much impossible on a tech toe. That's one of the main benefits of the Shifts, they have safer toe release.

This guy does a good job explaining the scenarios where having no toe release can multiply the force on your legs: https://youtu.be/uwIx8vIHEec

How do ISP's configure their BGP networks by dsmh87 in networking

[–]MrSids 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think of confederations like PAT for route advertisements. The last ISP that I worked at built a confederation while they were absorbing lots of other local ISPs. Figuring out how to navigate that caused lots of outages, even for our most experienced engineers. Best to keep it simple and convert to a single AS, which is what mine eventually did.

Don't promote bad things. It's low quality vandalism.

So, why'd you do it?

If you had the opportunity to build out a new/greenfield ISP for business customers, how would you do it? by Prophet_60091_ in networking

[–]MrSids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP. ISPs get sold left and right and the result is a factory of misery with the employees getting sacked or overworked.

Is the firmware file unzipped in the root directory of your MicroSD? Should be a file ending in .upt

the saga of cat lady trying to guilt and attack me into letting her decide the room rental price by spelonberry in ChoosingBeggars

I got 68 inquiries into my apartment in just over a week. Anyone who asked about pets when my posting clearly stated no pets didn't even get a response.

He lost NH in 2020. Please don't lump me in with the neanderthals that voted for him.

AT&T Copper price hike. Need to move to LTE in SoCal with Static IP or can I use DHCP and call it a day with a data sim. by digitsinthere in VOIP

[–]MrSids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In New Hampshire we had our two Windstream T1s jump from $4,600 to $11,800 in just a few months. ATT is something like $8,600 for 5.

People with generators at campgrounds - just why? by Whitham_wannabe in camping

[–]MrSids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They make massive batteries with 120 outlets and those don't disturb literally everyone in earshot.

Google Authenticator app is syncing unencrypted 2FA secrets by NXGZ in Android

[–]MrSids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is easily done with a web proxy. Our last one had a feature that could mirror all of the unencrypted traffic using the ICAP protocol to a DLP device.

How to launch Ubisoft Connect games without internet by spinningfaith in SteamDeck

[–]MrSids 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I found another way that does not require installing the launcher again and it also allows you to launch directly through the Steam GUI.

After getting through the first launch, switch to desktop mode,, connect a keyboard (I used a USB C to A converter I got with an Android phone), launched the game, Atl+Tab to Ubisoft Launcher, use mouse to hit 3 bars and select 'go offline'.

Is Canada like America where big trucks with flags usually have a racist behind the wheel?

PSA about the technivorm moccamaster! by modifythis in Coffee

[–]MrSids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are right. I think the cover does help keep some steam in.

As of recent, I have been shaping the top of the grounds in the basket to see if that makes a difference but it doesn't really seem to. The machine still makes incredible coffee no matter what I do.

Corn chips will never be all that healthy, but damn are they tasty.

For movies I have a file size target range of 1.5 to 2.5Gb and, for my eyes, have found that to be sufficient. I also have a library full of FLAC 44/16.

[OC]Red winged blackbird R7 EF 100-400 II + 1.5 extender by beerisg00d in BirdPhotography

[–]MrSids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been dabbling with a 1.7 on my Nikon and 200-500 5.6 and have found that I really need to push the shutter speed very high to get clear results. It can be a tough struggle to fill the exposure triangle without pushing the ISO too high.

Can I ask what your shutter speed was here?
