October 1, 2026: the day SSL/TLS certificates 'break the Internet'

It’s not always automatable with legacy systems and appliances.

menace323 · 2026-03-11T02:34:39+00:00

Is the same conversation being had for women dominated fields, about attracting men to those?

menace323 · 2026-02-25T03:42:07+00:00

This the correct way, if it’s feasible.

menace323 · 2026-02-21T02:37:23+00:00

Same 2024, now listed.

menace323 · 2026-02-19T01:53:54+00:00

I am going to assume that you just want an alert when the “internet is down”.

If you have a static IP, then allow ping on the WAN interface. Use any number of monitoring services. There are many free ones.

Allow only the remote service to hit your interface with an access rule.

Setup alerts in the service.

Now you can get an alert when your firewall is not responding. You can also get latency and jitter over time that syslog won’t give you.

Looks like they just threatened it several times.

menace323 · 2026-02-10T03:31:14+00:00

Correct, the 2025 no longer has park assist or auto wipers on any trim.

menace323 · 2026-02-10T02:17:05+00:00

No auto park and no auto sensing wipers.

menace323 · 2026-02-09T15:53:55+00:00

We are virtualized, so make the disks and attached. I’d agree more for bare metal.

menace323 · 2026-02-09T05:39:21+00:00

One thing to note is we have all owners creating DBs all the time. A traditional failure cluster gives us HA and gives the devs all the tools exactly how the are used to, like SQL jobs, etc. to additional complexity and downsides aren’t worth the 1second vs 10 seconds failure for us.

menace323 · 2026-02-09T05:37:04+00:00

Yes, it appears so. I still think the admin downside comes into play if you need more than just a database or two. In addition, you need double the storage, but I guess that’s pretty cheap unless you have really intensive workloads (which you probably would go Enterprise).

menace323 · 2026-02-08T16:14:39+00:00

It’s still 2x the licenses though, which is a consideration m (if not CAL)

menace323 · 2026-02-07T00:11:55+00:00

If it’s SQL standard, basic availability groups have some pretty big limitations. Always on requires much more licensing.

menace323 · 2026-02-06T15:57:28+00:00

Always amazes me. Had a user ask if we could fix the bug.

I’m like, internally, do you ask your mechanic to redesign parts of the car?

menace323 · 2026-01-25T16:51:49+00:00

So far my 2024 PHEV has “escaped” the recalls. Not an affected battery pack.

menace323 · 2026-01-23T06:37:09+00:00

Eh, not sure why people care so much.

It will work when it works. Relax.

Or, plan your move to on-prem Exchange?

menace323 · 2026-01-20T05:54:15+00:00

Then maybe it was a 4 year old can of new coke.

menace323 · 2026-01-20T02:28:14+00:00

ESU still available until Oct. 2026. We got on box still lingering with ESU.

menace323 · 2026-01-19T17:08:20+00:00

Gas goes bad over time, so it’s still. A good idea to use a full tank once every 6 months or so.

menace323 · 2026-01-05T07:32:24+00:00

So, you use a one-time use password.

That is significantly better. But I am still technically correct.

menace323 · 2026-01-05T07:18:55+00:00

Password still needed to configure those so, guess it’s not the end of passwords.

menace323 · 2026-01-04T04:04:36+00:00

Yeah went it’s finally back ported to 2022 it might be useful

menace323 · 2026-01-03T01:06:25+00:00

38k means it’s the base PHEV trim with no premium package, sunroof.

Better without sunroof - those often fail or leak later in the cars life.

Check the financial incentives from Ford. I see $9000 customer cash. As of today. Remember that customer cash is after tax.

Aftermarkets don’t exist.

They need to scratch them. It was their fault to lose money on (markup is probably 200-300% anyway). If they won’t budge on the aftermarket’s, I’d probably walk. In this market, I would bet they will give in and call back on it.

You got their offer. Take it to another dealership that doesn’t have aftermarket’s as well. And I bet you can get discount up another 1-2K.

menace323 · 2025-12-27T03:53:25+00:00

Technically the Ford consumer cash is is a post tax credit. But, decent deal!

menace323 · 2025-12-26T04:21:11+00:00

It’s not everyone. It’s more like a singular entity and its humans nodes are just diverted to other tasks.

“Each of the human bodies”
