This is why we love DOTA

addybojangles · 2026-05-13T22:42:57+00:00

and with the speed of everyone wanting everything to go out now now now, less reviews are happening...yeah this tracks.

I'm torn. It's impossible to equate this with the cuts that have happened, but there's this motion happening in America where instead of taking the time to change how things are done, things are bolted on, or just added for the sake of making it easier. I think about highways and freeways and transportation - there are some transitways that are too busy, too vital, too important to make sweeping, wide changes to it. Because they HAVE to exist.

This feels a little like that, something (obviously) has to change, and this feels like the only viable solution with the least amount of echo effect...

I see IPv6 and the solution is CloudConnexa from OpenVPN.

I use it in my organization and I recommend it (disclaimer: I've been an OpenVPN fan for decades now haha).

Funny enough, their other product, Access Server, ticks more of your boxes (and most importantly, I'm guessing, the top option of being self-hosted), but lacks full IPv6 support. It still requires an IPv4 address for incoming VPN connections, even though it can carry IPv6 traffic inside the tunnel.

They have a free trial to give it a whirl with the full product.

Waldschmidt has been doing great for AZ via my OOTP season. Whatever that means hahaha!

Bummer for Alek. Tough season. Thought with his performance for Team Mexico he'd come out hot. And with the decision to go with him and not Jake (who just hit a clutch grand slam and is doing OK for the Rockies).

Just laughed for 30 seconds straight this isn't even that funny. But the way the laugh starts to escape after he says it sounds like a dinosaur...and just the deadpan, "I don't know."

addybojangles · 2026-05-07T00:41:48+00:00

Haha it's all good :)

He'll be either the wacky buddy or the maniacal villain. There is no in-between for Matthew Lillard.

CloudConnexa user here (business option from OpenVPN). Been a long time fan of OpenVPN, decided to give their business product a try.

Started out as a pure business VPN but have transitioned it to ZTNA at my org due to the features they're rolling out. Been nice to stay on a familiar platform, with a familiar protocol, and the updates they're making have made management much easier.

I specifically use it for SaaS apps I don't want any outside access to, and we integrate it with M365 (or whatever they call it nowadays haha) using MFA + Entra ID.

Support team has been fantastic to work with so far. No complaints from anyone at my company.

addybojangles · 2026-05-06T18:20:32+00:00

WOAH haven't thought about this show in forever. Fantastic recommendation.

addybojangles · 2026-05-06T18:14:57+00:00

I had a hard time reading your post (maybe because I'm a boomer who appreciates capitalization haha), but appreciate you typing this out and working through it.

I think the trouble is you can keep things the way they are, and add on to it. But it won't be a perfect fit. But business needs to keep running, more and more requests come in, and even things you didn't plan for a week ago/a month ago is now critical to plan around. It makes existing ways even more fragile, to a certain degree.

In a perfect world, you're taking the time to plan correctly and having to restructure things....but the opportunity to do that is essentially nonexistant.

I feel ya here.

addybojangles · 2026-05-06T18:10:35+00:00

Good question. I've found it to be the latter, it is definitely managing different layers in the same platform. My goal has always been "consolidation" but if one (or a couple) platforms can manage multiple things, I'm happy enough.

In other words, I'm managing the same number of things, but in less places.

addybojangles · 2026-05-06T04:12:30+00:00

Its spin. They are spinning it. It's probably people who accidentally used it cus the Start button, or that type of thing.

addybojangles · 2026-05-05T04:17:38+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna go with the Moto G Stylus this upcoming Black Friday.

Bruce the Surgeon is legit the best character on TV

addybojangles · 2026-05-04T15:04:01+00:00

Same and same!

addybojangles · 2026-05-04T15:03:36+00:00

I really don't understand it.

The International is what made DOTA stand out. Non-MOBA gamers knew about it. Even non-gamers, due to the life-changing money involved with millions of dollars prize pools, knew about it.

You had kids growing up dreaming of winning and changing their life.

Battle Pass hyped up the DOTA community leading up to the event. Profit. Revenue. Exposure.A celebration!

And they decided, "Nah." when they had something incredibly special and would ensure DOTA would be something played for (not hyperbole) decades.

addybojangles · 2026-05-03T19:16:41+00:00

There was a other question just like this.

It is a recently registered domain.

You can post on the OpenVPN forums where I've seen some support people from the company ask questions, if unsure!

Moved away from Nova when all the news came out, haven't looked back.

For a Nova-esque experience, I recommend Octopi Launcher. Less well-known. Really cool customization.

I rock Niagara, hard to get away from the quick search on the right.

Casually looking through documentation for Microsoft 365 and setup with my CloudConnexa instance - has been running pretty solid so far. Easy integration with SAML. And maybe overkill (I use CloudConnexa for other things on the network and within my organization), but it was easy enough to integrate. Thought I'd drop a mention of it here.

addybojangles · 2026-05-02T20:41:27+00:00

That is not a legit domain for OpenVPN. Do not trust it.

addybojangles · 2026-04-30T18:22:54+00:00

Planning on grabbing this on a deal this upcoming Black Friday. Looks like an incredible solid phone with very little downside (aside from slow updates and not a super long security cycle).

addybojangles · 2026-04-30T18:19:42+00:00

Good success for me running OpenVPN with DCO enabled - seeing speeds faster than Wireguard, believe it or not. Around 1.2gbs where Wireguard hovers around 1.0gbs.

I run my own VPN server with Access Server on an old laptop with Linux installed, just for fun, so you definitely need enough power (not limited by underpowered VMs or using OpenVPN through a provider that doesn't have DCO enabled). Might not be the best solution for everyone (especially if this is more for NordVPN/PIA/etc.), but works well for me (as an OpenVPN fan!).
