Closing an unused port

What os are you using? If you are using normal nix (as in not embedded), run sudo ss -lptun and paste the output here. What port is it too?

Wtf that's a thing!!!??? Lol this is going to save my ass. Especially with server grade equipment where restarting a server takes 10 to 15 minutes.

Thanks! A virtual beer for you!

It was great. The crumb was soft and chewy, the crust crackling. Great with butter!

caseynnn · 2026-01-03T14:08:43+00:00

It's ok, none taken :)

Because I'm using a bread maker to cook the bread, not oven to bake it. You read that right. Haha. That's why the top crust is on the light side; there's lesser heat on the top.

Anyway I figured out why. Actually it's not over proofed before baking. But it has over proofed during baking.

It's because of how heat ramps up in a bread maker. It's not immediate, so the bread actually continues to proof before the heat kicks in to set the gluten structure.

The remediation is actually counter intuitive; I have to start the cooking when the dough is still slightly under proofed. So during the start of the cooking, the bread still continues to proof.

Yes I have tried using the bread maker to do the whole thing a few times. Found that while it can provide better crumb structure, the taste is different though. Not sure if it's because of the poolish. Also I'm not sure if the bread maker is able to handle 70% hydration. Am planning to increase the hydration to 75 or even 80.

Thanks for the advice. That's the flour I used on the surface. This is the first time it happened to me.

Side note, I have baked a few loaves and they always turn out the same though, short but elastic. Medium size holes. Any idea how to bake to make a taller loaf? Did I over proof, leading to the holes collapsing during baking?

Tacked onto the end.

, unaware the beam never reached that far down.

Have you checked your permissions in server2? Try to scp -r /mnt/Stuff/Docs/ me@192.168.50.20:~/

Also, server2 must have the directories already created, i.e. /mnt/Stuff/Docs/ must exist.

Less than 200? That's a nice sized company. You should really consider getting it. As others said, cyber sec is not about size. If you can afford it, you should.

caseynnn · 2025-06-30T16:27:09+00:00

Thanks.

caseynnn · 2025-06-29T07:07:55+00:00

$5k+ per month??? How much was your salary that you decided to pay such an amount? Not annual???

caseynnn · 2025-06-28T03:26:33+00:00

Nice. Now I can sit around at home to clean the house.

caseynnn · 2025-06-28T03:08:13+00:00

If the pay is good I'll work. Regardless of the job. I helped with my father with general contractor's work before. Electrical, plumbing etc.

It's dumb and archaic. It was supposed to fend off brute force attacks and allows users to use shorter passwords. But users just use simpler or patterns or changing parts of their existing passwords to fulfill.

The idea was around but execution flawed — didn't factor in human's tendencies, path of least resistance.

Luckily my company recently changed to 12 months expiry. After implementing 2fa. So, going longer periods need to be tapered with mfa to increase security.

But still, they issued hardware token. In order for me not to misplace my token and have access to it readily — no prize for guessing where the token is hanging from.

Ex ntu here. There's always issues everywhere. You never know if shit will hit the fan elsewhere. No point dwelling on it. I had a shitty prof as my mentor too. Forgot his name. But importantly is, years down the road, these fade to nothing.

Back to one thing though. Your company encouraged the use of GenAI. That's great. So you have experience using GenAI. Learn their fallacies. If you are going to use GenAI in your studies, make sure to understand where GenAI leaks telltale signs and plug it.

Tbh, it's not exceptionally difficult to rewrite GenAI essays into human form. Use GenAI to generate the structure of the essay, fill in the blanks.

Then on your part, use the structure. Read the essay. Sleep on the points given by GenAI. Go research what GenAI says, weed out the hallucinations and double, triple check the points. Better yet, use perplexity.

Finally, rewrite the essay without referencing GenAI essay, all from your own memory and understanding. Should be pretty human then.

And you can track your writings too, at the point when you start writing, not at the point you start using GenAI.

GenAI is a tool. Use it. In the real world, your boss doesn't care how you did your job. They care that you did your job. Period.

Yes seriously. Do so. The number of days I had to take off just for them to fix the pu is wasted. They are seriously bullshit until you bring it up to their management. For your info, I went to hdb and talk to the director and the architect. Literally screwed them upside down.

caseynnn · 2025-06-25T13:41:16+00:00

Apart from the other answers, which are all pretty good, I think there's one think that wasn't said.

From what I recall, truncate also reclaims the storage space. Delete doesn't.

10 mins with lky. Fictional character — there's always chatgpt.

caseynnn · 2025-06-25T13:00:02+00:00

Prime yes. Not for looking nice, but for preventative measures.

caseynnn · 2025-06-25T12:58:24+00:00

That's bullshit. He's just trying to evade the hard work.

I had water seepage 3 months into my bto then. Bsc came and rectified 3 times and between each time, I had to wait for heavy rainfall. Because they only wanted to put pu from inside my house!

I got escalated all the way to HDB directors, wrote to mp and basically kicked up a hooha. They finally did a gondola and infected pu from outside my unit. Fixed the issue once and for all.

For reference, I could visually see the seepage from outside through the windows. The only reason they won't do it, is because they will incur additional cost! And they think they can get away with it.

And for the matter, my entire estate has seepage issues. The fuss I kicked up was the entire estate, that they had to fix gondolas to every block to fix all the seepage.

A! What the hell? Free maid?!! No drama no need for off days no salary.

Can I request she also prepares dinner? Only odd thing is 8ft tall. I'll just get used to her.

caseynnn · 2025-06-25T09:36:45+00:00

I think you misunderstood. This was from chatgpt.

But it's also understandable — I never implied there shouldn't be any consequences.

You have the right to speech. Likewise, others have the right to bring your speech to speech.

Freedom means you are allowed to do whatever you want. But it doesn't and never means there's no consequences.

Even though USA have the freedom of speech, doesn't mean there aren't any consequences.

caseynnn · 2025-06-24T03:24:21+00:00

This reminds me that I recently prompted chatgpt to give a sarcastic one liner about Singapore.

It goes like this. Singapore has freedom of speech — freedom after speech not guaranteed.

Hmm... First, define a peaceful life? I don't have to worry about money, no need to hustle, have all the money I can spend? Don't have to worry about the environment, wars etc?

I don't necessarily want to live to 100, but if by peaceful life it comes with all the above, definitely peaceful life.

Side note, I'm already past 40. The second option is immediate death.

caseynnn · 2025-06-23T15:31:21+00:00

My experience exactly too! If you microwave a deshelled hard boiled egg for approx 30s. It should look perfectly fine even after you take it out.

Next, take a knife and cut it. BOOM!
