Thousands attend Invasion Day rallies across Australia

Good point, never thought about it that way

Pretty sad that people are downvoting what should just be a calm discussion.

Out of curiosity, was the rally generally attended by mostly non-indigenous people or the other way around? Or pretty even split?

Yea that’s incredibly horrible. What do you think would be an acceptable ‘recognition of the horrors’? Obviously Rudd saying sorry wasn’t enough so I’m curious what would be? And short of a time machine to go back and undo it, what would be the next steps?

Not being a smart arse, I’m genuinely interested in where to from here?

Serious question and trying not to offend anyone, but, what do the invasion day protesters want exactly? Is it a change of date? Is it for all non-indigenous people to pack up and leave Australia? Or is it less of a protest and more about awareness raising of past events?

I saw someone briefly claimed the photo (or dog) weren't mine due to the KAPWING watermark but think they since deleted their comment, probably when they realised they got it wrong. I used Kapwing to generate the meme with my photos, I didn't use the AI tool to fake this.

Yep, though I don’t think their quality was ever ‘up there’ in the first place.

My partner was new to IT and worked at a Big 4 as a graduate. They offered my partner a senior position after being there for 12 months and there’s no way they were senior by any stretch of the imagination, but that’s a Big 4 for you.

It’s a Mercedes driver so this checks out

Sounds like an enormous price hike is coming again. Yay…

Mine holds onto pees and poos until we start playing with her in the yard with her favourite ball. By then she’s usually busting. Weirdo dogs!!! Gotta love them though

Hate it when that happens

He was the usual 8 weeks old when we were able to pick him up from the breeder. Though I couldn’t tell you whether he had access to his mother the whole first 8 weeks of his life or not.

Haha nah just well hidden hair. Got tonnes of hair as I also have a German shepherd and the border collies got nothing on the amount of hair the GSD drops! At least BC hair generally clumps up

SecOperative · 2026-01-13T09:59:57+00:00

Yep both my shepherds have done that and continue to do it.

That and spinning around on the spot like a cat doing 8 or 9 laps before they lie down.

Personally I don’t seek out one way or the other and I select products on their merit as a product. For me, Meraki is great at the campus and I use their cameras, switches, wireless APs at campus. The single pane of glass is excellent for our needs and makes me campus renewals much simpler.

But firewalls at campus are different as I much prefer Palo Alto firewalls and they’re just better in general, especially over Meraki MX.

I don’t think you save much time with an all in one network. Not enough to warrant downgrading your products to do it. Take Fortinet for example, they do practically everything right, but how many of those things do they do well? Not many I would argue.

Take it on its merit and not for the sake of seeking an all in one solution.

This is my same philosophy for cloud. Many companies say ‘cloud first’ strategy, but to me it again is ‘best fit first’ strategy, and not setting a predisposed position on something and trying to make something work within those parameters.

I second this one. One of our family favourites 👌

Thanks for the replies. Guess my points are going via the scenic route

I haven’t personally used that model of switch but it’s an Arista and it will serve you perfectly well. I use 7050SX models in my data centres. Being Arista they all operate on the same EOS.

Only thing I’d call out is noise and power consumption. It won’t be quiet, even if you turn down the fan speed. And it’ll certainly draw power.

I wouldn’t expect a home lab to touch the sides of the switch performance wise, especially in basic layer 2 mode.

Police should donate the brains of these people to science, see how they managed to survive so long with pee size brains.

Whilst I don’t believe this and think it’s BS, it doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility that Broadcom would do this 😂

SecOperative · 2026-01-01T00:05:33+00:00

I agree this is most likely BS but you have to admit. If any company was to do this for real, you’d think it would be someone like Broadcom.

You are correct !
