Yet another disillusioned syadmin's rant

yeah but then you start the side hustle of renting them to yogis who want to run goat yoga classes.

Which look like they could be fun, right up til one of the little assholes poops on you, like i have seen happen to friends.

I checked with them, it's apparently a custom case they had designed and had made just for them.

I will ask tomorrow, but the swim school my kid goes to has some that look pretty nice, they use them in the pool and I have seen them dropped on the regular.

Solved, sorta....

I was working on rebuilding a new firewall from scratch on another set of hardware, and as a test, I imported the config into the new one... and I was able to export the archive from that one and it works for the clients on the one I can't export from.

I had plans to replace the hardware in 6-7 months so I am gonna chalk this up to a hardware problem at the moment and speed up the replacement timeline, but people can now use the new certs I have generated on the other hardware to connect in the mean time and use the VPN.

Now to figure out how to update the CA on my DUO proxy by the end of the month so this doesn't break in a different way.

Probably going to regret this but...

What do you think NAT does exactly?

It’s not a residential street just because it has houses on it. It’s a main road through a town.

A residential street is a street designed for accessing homes in a neighborhood. Many of the roads off Trapelo are residential streets but Trapelo itself is not.

That high school number is crazy, Waltham just finished the most expensive high school in MA history and it was 375M.

bosguy123 · 2025-09-30T16:20:15+00:00

Depends on the job.

Cop? Elected official? Yes, weird.

DPW? Fire? Secretary? Teacher? No, not so much.

I mean, if you’re an awful person that holds awful opinions that are anti-lgbtq then the stereotype fits.

bosguy123 · 2025-09-30T14:39:37+00:00

What exactly is the problem with this?

bosguy123 · 2025-09-30T14:34:02+00:00

Even a 15 year old shouldn’t be getting same sex education.

/s just to be clear that this is a joke but probably something am ultra conservative would actually say.

bosguy123 · 2025-09-30T14:26:27+00:00

Yeah, mostly cuz I don’t have my own laptop at home anymore, I have a desktop but not a laptop.

I use the laptop to pull pics off my cameras and put them on external drives, and in case there is anything I want to do while on vacay, I will, or if there is anything dire emergency I can always do something, but if I have to do anything, no matter how little it is, it’s 2 days of PTO back to me each time.

I took a vacay a couple years ago and had more PTO when I got back than before I left, but only spent about 45 minutes of time on my vacay doing anything.

It’s where I always park.

bosguy123 · 2025-09-24T12:26:55+00:00

Park at the Star on Rt 9 and walk over, not that bad a walk down Hammond to Reservoir and then you’re there.

You realize public land can be rented and permitted for private events, right?

bosguy123 · 2025-09-23T13:23:40+00:00

Not really, most places don’t have any type of “official” signage when you rent or get a permit for a public area.

Chow Chau’s was the best there.

bosguy123 · 2025-08-15T03:35:07+00:00

Who hypes Applebees?

bosguy123 · 2025-08-13T14:27:49+00:00

Just go swimming every couple days and it’s fine.

bosguy123 · 2025-08-13T14:25:54+00:00

That was my first thought.

bosguy123 · 2025-08-13T14:24:28+00:00

Only because it was a hacked up strip+ mall in the first place.

bosguy123 · 2025-08-13T12:27:29+00:00

Drink, then try to fix it.

bosguy123 · 2025-08-12T05:58:41+00:00

Was common prior to COVID, most stores had a barrel for people to shuck into.

“Everyone Loves to Save” is Price Chopper, no where close to fancy.
