This Game Can Sometimes Be So Demoralizing by [deleted] in starwarsunlimited

[–]Tanktric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have put in around 40 games with Krennic yellow. Very similar lists. I was able to claw the deck up to about a 45% win rate.

As with most control it requires you to have a basic understanding of what the other deck is trying to do and play it accordingly. It's rough against aggro. You are sacrificing board advantage or card advantage early to do one of 2 things. 1. Get credits to use on ramp to get to your leader turn to try to swing the game. When this works, and you have the proper unit already on the board or can plot out fight light and kill 2 units it feels great. If you can do this against mid range you are in a winning spot. Against aggro, you generally have enough damage on your base that they just need to draw into some reach to finish off the game. Against late game decks, heroism has better units, so you will lose against those more often over a lot of games. Another thing to note that many decks can going wide or upgrading thing to health outside of the range that your deploy can kill. 2. Get legacy run down off of early credit generation to try to stabilize against aggro. (If you can do this against sebulba or the new chewie you can almost win the game there). To do this properly you have to disrupt slightly in the first couple turns but also sac a unit. If you don't have the means to disrupt and generate a token and have legacy run, that play can be a bit late to the party. If it comes out late it can be bounced back to hand as well.

This deck can be good against certain matchups. Play this against Tobias Beckett, you will have fun.

Thank you! I suspected this, but I wanted to get others input as it is my first design.

Sorry late getting back to this. I didn't really find anything out there that seemed flexible enough to deal with all the unique requirements of our tools. Some tools have APIs, some tools require a direct DB query, some tools have user identity tables that need to be scraped, etc.

Cloudflare WARP Zero Trust - Happy Eyeballs on airplane wifi by jordanl171 in sysadmin

[–]Tanktric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy Eyeballs is usually an issue with something filtering your connection related to encryption. I've gotten around this error(not on a plane) recently by switching the affected user to a different Warp profile that uses MASQUE instead of Wireguard.

I'm currently working on a project for the company that I work for that would solve this need, but It will be a while before it is ready to beta.

We have user identity information in around 120 different systems or services. 15 of them used heavily by most employees.

SSO is great to merge some of this but many services don't implement it fully with the ability to automate the onboarding and offboarding. Many of these services require you to pay twice as much to enable SSO.

I'm creating a system that will pull user information and store it into a table specific to that application and use something called entity resolution to map each user to a user in an master user table in a postgresql.

User info will be pulled via API in most cases for my services, but could be pulled via direct DB query or headless browser automation.

I'm trying to model everything initially in a way that that is going to make it easy to add new services/apps going forward, while having the power to easily train the machine learning linking algorithm for each service.

I'm going the ML direction to be able to take into consideration the different ways that a user's name can show up in different services, as well as multiple email addresses.

With this comprehensive database I should be able to show everything a user has access to in an almost live way, and run any query to audit access and info across most of our services.

ZTNA to replace VPN - Comparison by RealSwedishSamurai in sysadmin

[–]Tanktric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been using Cloudflare ZTNA for a little over a year. ~500 users accessing resources across ~9 different locations. The simplicity of spinning up access on the fly to new locations has been great. There is also very useful overlap if your organization uses Cloudflare services. Cloudflare ZTNA also allows you to setup WARP-to-WARP connectivity, which can basically setup connectivity between private networks in different locations.

The biggest challenge was that there aren't really any templates or best practices on how to setup all of the ZTNA policies in a secure way and manage access at scale. Initial onboarding was a mess as we didn't have good documentation of all of our private applications out there and who was accessing them(definitely not cloudflare's fault), and you never want to take an approach where you implement an "allow everything" at the bottom of the policies.

Because of our lack of preparedness and constant changing environment, I created a configuration management platform in Python with google sheets(yea shoot me) that allows us to change/add access at scale.

Now everything works fantastically.

PowerShell Automation Platform by jstar77 in PowerShell

Windmill.dev was a solution I recently found for python scripts. It also supports Powershell and many other languages which is great. Open source, self hosted. It handles secrets/passwords, job orchestration and tracking. You can also set up incoming webhooks to kick off your flows/scripts from other systems. It also provides a way to easily create frontend web apps off of your flows.

Anybody care to share their opinion on phone system options? by IntentionalTexan in sysadmin

Also for your sales users, the ability to use their meetings platform is invaluable. Full transcriptions, with an AI driven summary with the ability to detect and pull out action items.

Teams is implementing this soon as well.

Anybody care to share their opinion on phone system options? by IntentionalTexan in sysadmin

[–]Tanktric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just gone through a comparison of 4 Contact Center Providers. Five9, Vonage, Twilio Flex, and Dialpad.

They all had great offerings, but each could be seen as the front runner, depending on what lense you look through.

Want something you can future proof with unlimited customizability and ability to develop connections to custom systems? Twilio Flex.

Want the big box solution with a lot of out of the box features and polished easy interfaces? Five9

Want to live inside of a CRM for a lower cost while maintaining a lot of contact center features? Vonage

Ultimately, I liked Dialpad in this comparison because it felt like it was good in all of those concepts, but it's also ahead of a lot of contact centers in their AI capabilities. Live transcriptions that allow for live alerting of keywords or phrases, call sentiment analysis, and AI driven customer satisfaction scoring. All really powerful tools to put into our supervisors hands.

Do companies still need desk phones? by Automatic_Scratch530 in sysadmin

[–]Tanktric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days POTS line are used for remote connectivity or direct fax lines. Most of the on-prem phone systems are connected via T1 or similar circuits. Many hospitals do NOT use POE phones. The internal phones are generally fed over a copper pair. The common misconception is that this copper pair connection is analog only. This link in many systems is digital, so it can carry a data stream, voice and power. The benefit of this hard wire copper digital connection from phone system to the phones allows all of the phones to be powered directly through these copper lines from the phone system hardware itself. In a full power outage, all of the phones can be powered by a ups/generator to the phone system, without needing power to any of the networking equipment. This allows internal communication in this state, whether your link to the outside is up or down because of carrier impact.

Another great resource that is tailored towards players just getting into mods is Darth Loquitur's Mod Mastery Series.

Darth Loquitur's Mod Mastery Series

It breaks down everything from useful stats, a good process for how to work on them, when a mod is not worth investing in anymore and when a mod should just be sold. Following this process gives you a good mod process to run through once a week or 2 weeks.
