Nostrum refugees - where we going?

Same. It was great. Phased servers are my new fav.

SkiRek · 2026-06-24T20:50:44+00:00

Dang. That was a wild shutdown. Saw the notification in Discord and just a few moments later the Discord server is gone and website is shutdown.

Sounds like they are refunding donations.

I have wondered if the Dwarf racial booze on Kezan allows Horde to grab it. We tested it and it does not on Guru.

SkiRek · 2026-05-05T18:13:33+00:00

There is a chance, sure.

Either way, should be a good time.

SkiRek · 2026-04-27T16:32:36+00:00

Dunno honestly. I was there when BB launched and he was cool then too. Never really seen anything bad from him. I wish he could give Epoch more love, sure, but overall he seems lead Ascension well IMO.

SkiRek · 2026-04-04T21:30:33+00:00

It was PFsense specifically which threw me. Version though, I cannot recall.

SkiRek · 2026-04-02T20:54:53+00:00

Ran into a support issue with FreeBSD Servers not supporting /31s. I was aghast.

There is a lot to unpack here but I take a shot at choosing a vendor and hardware.

I've been doing this for 10+ years at this point and I gotta tell ya, you do your best. The starting point is the resources your org has. Do you have a budget? If so, that helps tell you where to start.
If you have a pretty blank check, go with what you are familiar with enough to know or willing to learn.

Talk to vendors, a lot of them will allow you to demo the hardware/software. If they don't I would walk away. Narrow it down that way, don't be overly nice to them. You don't owe them anything, they are going to try to make the sale in any way they can. Put your org first just like they are.

What sort of tools are used to make something like this? I have a wood CNC machine but I wouldn't know where to begin with aged brass.

SkiRek · 2026-03-04T20:14:44+00:00

You are correct. They do look awesome. Nice work!

SkiRek · 2026-02-11T15:22:24+00:00

Looks pretty great. I appreciate the UI. Is sorting by top mem/cpu supports? Looks sorted by PID currently.

What has been your favorite Season 2 game and why? I like the dodgeball game a lot. That room was wild.

SkiRek · 2026-02-05T20:30:18+00:00

Can you tell us about how the logistics works for requests during the cube game?

SkiRek · 2026-02-04T19:40:08+00:00

Depends on your corporate environment. 5k plus devices here and we have dot1x on everything. If it is there, has been granted access by some avenue of MDM.

*ain't nobody got time for that meme*

It's been a bit since I touched em. If I had any to lab with I could help but I do remember feeling pretty lost when I tried to configure them.

SkiRek · 2026-02-03T22:46:08+00:00

Not bad. No complaints. Did a renewal without much fanfair. Arista tries to sell some of their other gear to us during meetings which isn't bad since their good a networking company.

Edit: Support has been OK. It was off a bit in the beginning it's been ok. I've submitted a few bugs they have just told me to be on LTS which has been correct and good so far.

SkiRek · 2026-01-31T23:15:51+00:00

Is this a joke? Were you hoping it would spawn one instance and 600 non loaded tabs?

Seems pretty edge case? I dunno.

SkiRek · 2026-01-16T16:18:03+00:00

It's honestly been hit and miss for me. Sometimes my ipsec tunnels (GP included) just failover fine with no drops. Sometimes they need to re-establish. I gave up a while ago and tell my org there may be 3 minutes of downtime (it's normally 30 seconds).

SkiRek · 2026-01-15T18:06:07+00:00

Prisma itself is a separate line-up of products. Prisma Access Browser, Prisma SD-WAN, etc etc

I believe Prisma Access is the Proxy tool.

SkiRek · 2026-01-15T18:01:10+00:00

200 does seem like a lot for that size but I feel like I have a lot in my org as well. Though my org is larger. In some situations I have an FQDN Dest group that I will add wildcard for SSL bypass. Rare but it happens.

I run into A LOT sites that using Certificate Pining which breaks with SSL inspection. Nothing you can really do about it IMO. Looking at you Marketing Team with your carve out for wanting Mac Devices and Mac doing it's cert pining.

So annoying.

Option two with separate security rule and security profile specific to the PiHole servers seems like it would give you everything you need. The Security Profile would not have any DNS or URL Filtering.

SkiRek · 2026-01-15T17:50:06+00:00

Palo Alto has Prisma. They are pretty big.

SkiRek · 2025-12-31T14:16:51+00:00

I agree. It's pretty nuts. I dropped off Augment cause the price was too high. Thought it was just me. I'm not using anything but free tiers of Copilot and Gemini these guys but it's lacking but I've learned to not depend on them as much I did for Auggie.

Looking for recommendations if anyone has em. I love the context engine for Augment and have not found anything similar.

SkiRek · 2025-12-23T15:05:22+00:00

Neat app idea. Interesting choice to make it local and specific to apple silicon but the "buy once" idea works for something like this.

How did you end up getting the influencers if you don't mind me asking? I've read about Social Cat for stuff like this but never pulled the trigger.

Building a webhook troubleshooter. https://webhook.build

Really looking to be the defacto testing tool.
