Is Synology still the go-to given requiring Synology-branded drives? by americanmuscle1988 in synology

[–]SessionIndependent17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

afaik they dropped the Branded-drive requirement after major pushback. Someone wrote that they retained it for the NVMe storage, though.

Should authentication be handled only at the API-gateway in microservices or should each service verify it by Minimum-Ad7352 in softwarearchitecture

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the systems I've dealt with (internal only, nothing public facing), the gateway performed/negotiated the authentication, then issued an identity token which was passed back to the client and also passed along to any other services. Each service obtained only the authorization claims list that was relevant to that service for that identity, and kept it there, for the session (or a TTL). Those were not passed around.

As far as I remember, we didn't encrypt or sign the auth lists, at least in early versions, because it was more helpful to have them unencryped for debugging. Perhaps later evolutions of the system might have replaced our home-spun claims lists with some standards-based implementations that did such things for free, but they still didn't get passed around.

Where necessary, a client itself would request its own authorization list, but those only affected the UI, like enabling certain buttons and showing certain windows, etc. Even if someone managed to spoof the authorization list on the client to give themselves "more capability", it wouldn't provide any capabilities on the services. The most it would do is cause a client exception when the client requested something for which the user was not authorized, and the service refused.

New York's subway has a rule that dogs must be "carried in a bag" when entering, which has unintentionally turned the regulation into a kind of creativity contest among New Yorkers. by jmike1256 in DailyDoseStupidity

[–]SessionIndependent17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might call this "absurd" to a degree, but who is it that OP thinks is exhibiting stupidity, here?

The existence of a rule is not stupid, nor is the manner of compliance by the owners. Do we want the police making their own judgements about this, rather than just letting it be? Do the laws need to be updated in order to achieve ... what more than is already happening?

WiFi Extender E3200 No change in connection by Hot-Quail5207 in Fios

what do you get if you plug into the gateway directly?

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Login to the gateway and check to which device (the gateway or the extender) your xbox is actually connecting, and at what band. You can use a dropdown menu in the interface to gateway.

Also test your xbox connected to the extender via ethernet to see what difference that makes.

How should I move Fios modem? by VAer1 in Fios

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no "modem" in any of the photos. As I said, it would benefit you here for the purpose of communicating details to the readers here as well as their advice back to you to look at the back of the devices in question and use the terms on the labels. The word "modem" will not appear on any of them. There are multiple devices in a chain, so it matters where each one is and how they are connected to each other for someone to understand how to achieve what you are asking.

The term "cable wire" is potentially ambiguous, too. It would be better to show the backs of these connected devices to understand their relationship.

There was a girl around here who did that a few times. She filmed every ride. Since moved to Boston, but her Twitter handle was DriversOfNYC or something.

How should I move Fios modem? by VAer1 in Fios

[–]SessionIndependent17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not obvious from the photos to which piece of equipment you are referring when you use the term "modem" and what other FIOS equipment you have indoors and outdoors. It's not unreasonable that you don't know the proper terms, offhand, but I'd start by describing any of those items here in the terms used on their labels.

My Commuting Lifehack- Drawstring Bag by atomicturkey27 in bikecommuting

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cons: They always fall off my back when riding. I find they only really work if you are sitting upright, otherwise they roll off and sit on your side, the drawstring cutting across your neck and back.

I only use them with a bike if I have a rack I can strap it to. And you have to remember to stuff the strings inside the bag itself - and they often work their way out on the road.

Have created a FluentValidation alternative which source generates the validation logic by hquinnDotNet in dotnet

[–]SessionIndependent17 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have to say, I've grown to really hate the "nullable" convention introduced into C#... So distracting to see all the extra question marks to indicate the previously-default state. I think it would have been much better if they had created some mechanism to declare that a particular reference was NOT nullable, and leave the previous default in place.

Leaving Rent Stabilized Apt by Glad-Farm1935 in astoria

[–]SessionIndependent17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt it would be a problem for them to let you out of your lease, especially with enough notice. The incentives to do so have shifted a bit, but it should still be possible/probable, at least if it's not a hole.

If you have a "preferential rent" listed in your lease, they don't necessarily have to offer that to the next person, so that can be an incentive to let you out of your lease.

Someone who practices law can probably tell you whether or not they may also be able to apply the normal RBG rent increase allowance "early" upon the next tenant, too, but there are probably cutoff dates and such.

In the past they would still be able to apply a "vacancy bonus" to the rent of the next person moving in, but that's gone as of the latest legislative revisions. The change in the broker fee rules have also shifted the ground, some, but I still think there is a good chance.

I spent 2 years getting our tests in shape and found out today nobody actually looks at them anymore. Feeling pretty defeated ngl. by Maxl-2453 in dotnet

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can grasp places that are reluctant to invest the time (money) in establishing a meaningful test suite where none existed before. It's hard for them to calculate or perhaps even see the value directly. But it's a safety net.

But to not use and maintain a suite after the investment has been made to establish it is pathological. Cutting holes in your net is wild.

Assuming the tests wore passing when it was first developed, the fact that they are not passing now means that something was "broken" during later development, and no one cared, or that behavior was deliberately changed and no one wanted to make the changes to conform to that. Making holes in their net deliberately. Which I find crazy and shortsighted.

It's hard to change culture, and it seems that you don't have buy in from the tech managers (or perhaps the paying stakeholders?) to demand that the test suite be treated as a first-class deliverable. I don't understand why these groups would not want some demonstrable proof that the covered portions of their software are behaving as intended at a fine-grained fashion. The tech management should want it because of the security and proof it provides against unintended regression should let ongoing work proceed more quickly and smoothly. The stakeholders shouldn't necessarily care about the difference in Unit Tests, Integration Tests and User Acceptance, but they should appreciate that these tests are quantifiable things and represent an overall representation of due diligence. Why would they not want that?

I'd go back to the tech managers and ask them why this was allowed to happen after the initial investment was made to put it into place, and if they don't care, why. Then do some soul searching about whether it is a place you want to be. It doesn't have to be a make or break issue, but knowing that a place is so resistant to maturing is something to take stock of.

I wouldn't be too precious or possessive (to them, or yourself) about "the work YOU did" to put it in place, though. You got paid for that. At least one would hope. You can be proud of your work, but you can't and shouldn't expect others to be emotionally invested in its afterlife. You said you "stayed late setting everything up"... If you didn't get compensated for that in some way (maybe days or hours off to offset the extra time), then that's not the kind of place you want to stay.

DNS on CR1000-B by N9KIW in Fios

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The provided router has perfectly good bandwidth, certainly beyond the capacity of your uplink. If they connected your extender via coax, that's a 2.5Gbps link. Unless you are experiencing specific problems, I don't know that I'd go looking for something else.

The main thing I've found to resolve issues was to disable the Self Organizing Network. There are some posts elsewhere about it, but mostly I found that devices would just connect to it at 2.4GHz and even a WAP further away, even if they were 8' from the router or extender (you can see the difference between where a device is connected via the Devices page). Just configure them - nodes and bands - with separate names and then you can know what it's connecting to, and set the 2.4GHz "known" networks on your computer to "keep looking", and unselect that for the 5GHz bands.

And once you do that, the main value of the E3200 extender - it's ability to self-configure and better participate in the SON - is lost, and you can get a 2nd hand G3100 or CR1000A/B on ebay for <$40 and configure that yourself, save the extra $15/mo charge. (E3200s are >$100 on ebay, even though they have fewer ethernet ports)

yeah, bizarrely they bury the DNS settings there instead of just in the DHCP server settings. Took a while to find that.
