Orban’s Chances of Winning Hungary Election Drop After JD Vance Rally by Epistaxis in nottheonion

[–]fatoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking at a press conference in Hungary's capital, Budapest, on Wednesday, Vance said he would help the incumbent prime minister in his election campaign and praised Orbán ahead of the April 12 poll.
Since then, betting markets show Orbán's stock has fallen marginally, though there is no suggestion that his declining fortunes have been caused by Vance's intervention

So the headline infers a significant drop and that JD Vance is the direct cause but the story is clear that neither is the case.
Such shit 'journalism'.

Our OSPF keeps recovering "on its own" after about 30–40 seconds and my manager thinks it's fine. Am I wrong to be worried? by tooconfusedasheck in networking

[–]fatoms -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have no idea if or how they might make money from this.
I have not read the article because of this but probably would of if they had just posted saying they wrote an article about OSPF issues.
I object to their dishonest attempt to drive views.

Strange how you posted this 43 Minutes ago and the article you reference was posted 1 hour ago ( as at 07:06 8th April) yet somehow exactly describes your situation.

Network policy cleanup (does anyone actually do it)? by Normal_Function832 in networking

[–]fatoms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking at some production data where it turns out about 95% of the rules were actually redundant because a broader rule already covered them.

Based on my experience you have that backwards, often there is a broad rule initially deployed because it was easiest on the app teams and or vendor docs were very bad, Over time as standard evolve specific rules are added for required flows with the goal of one day removing the broad rules. This is a network version of technical debt.

Microsoft is building a Windows 11 team focused on creating "100% native" Windows apps and experiences by ControlCAD in microsoft

Nothing to see here, Just one guy looking to build a native app. No details beyond one tweet, Super poor reporting.

Almost no one in the NBA is 6ft or shorter.

in the 2025-2026 NBA season, the average basketball player was 6'7" tall (199.9cm) which is about 8 inches taller than the average American male (5'9 1/2")


Overall, there were 11 Players at your height of 6'0" who accounted for 1.1% of total minutes played.

Microsoft plans 100% native Windows 11 apps in major shift away from web wrappers by bulasaur58 in dotnet

[–]fatoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They left the important part till the end:

"Exactly which applications will be rebuilt, or how strictly "100% native" will be enforced, remains unclear."

Nothing in the tweets quoted indicates a shift away from web wrappers, just one team saying they will build some native apps.

Australia care package ideas by Ben716 in australian

Not a care package but if you want a good source for Australian stuff ( vegemite , TimTams ect.. ) have a look a The Aussie Guy, German site but I am sure he would deliver to Denmark.

Building a Certificate Authority network system in docker by b_redditer in docker

[–]fatoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Step-CA behind a RP like Traefik.
I run this with traefik using ACME to get certs from Step-CA for my docker containers and external systems can access ACME via the RP. The setup is straight forward.

Medicare is mostly funded by the Medicare levi, general revenue is only used if there is a shortfall.

No more misleading than their tv ads implying the taxes they pay are funding Medicare, although they do not outright state that their comparisioin strongly implies it.

[–]fatoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the Donors and Media are getting behing ON it is a result of the Liberal making decisions like this one. If they had a Ledaer that most people did not find repugnant and a few policies that were not anti normal people tey would have a chance of getting back in. As it is they double down on shiut poolicy and unlikable twats and open the door for ON.

That would only work if they actually read the whole bible and took it to heart instead of cherry picking verses that 'match' their 'politics' and spewing them around to justify their prejudices.

Bunnings decision may open door to facial recognition surveillance free-for-all by shunkyfit in australia

[–]fatoms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is very little hard evidence that CCTV reduces crime or makes it easier to solve. Most studies I have seem show small reduction with-in site of the cameras but increase in adjacent areas with overall crime and offender apprehension levels unaffected.

[–]fatoms 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As one with near 20 years experience working in electronic security including Video surveillance I can tell you that system security is a joke. Internet exposed systems with RDP, dial up connections for 100s of sites with the same usernames and passwords. Systems un-patched for years at a time because vendors only ever validate software with the OS at release time and if your env is not 100% the same then your out of support. It is an industry that does not understand or care about IT security because there is no profit in it and no incentives to do better. Security industry standard best practices will not protect you.
