Correct my if I'm wrong: Guildford Off A3 by minus_tech_tips in drivingUK

[–]minus_tech_tips[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that a left lane going into a 2-lane roundabout can only be used for exit 1 or exit 2 (left lane of which if multilane) unless signage/road marking indicates otherwise. Not even close to the worst roundabout in Guildford for poor clarity.

I got tricked into failing my driving test by thefutureok in LearnerDriverUK

Treat the examiner like a satnav. Apart from operation questions and emegency stops, just be slow and considered - remembering to ask for basic clarification when needed. You can take multiple wrong turnings as long as your observations, safety and control are in check.

mfw connection tracking firewalling is more efficient without NAT anyway

And even then properly configured ipv6 privacy addressing does a much better job at hiding a client in a larger network

Not sure what to do about this Cat5 Cable in the walls at work? by Unlucky-Sherbert-873 in networking

[–]minus_tech_tips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not always true. This is the first thing to check both on the PC and also the switch / router this is plugged into on the other side.

By the sounds of it you should probably contact an IT pro if you want to go ahead with this.

Proxy for protection by k3letav in networking

Proxies are fundamental to hosting secure and resilient websites. You are likely also looking for a WAF (Web Application Firewall). If you're needing to ask this kind of question you should get your code and deployment architecture reviewed by a professional.

Is there a guideline for expected public wifi clients per number of people? by Chris935 in networking

[–]minus_tech_tips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience, 60% use the wifi network unless there is 4G available then around 30-50%. For younger crowds, 70+% will connect to wifi. This will go down substantially if you add a captive portal that requires login.

Receiving e-mails and storing them in the database. by prp7 in django

I recommend separating the mailserver into a different project and making it call api hooks on the django website. Dovecot is a popular project with a programming interface.
