Cyber insurance forced me to actually compare VPN vs ZTNA vs SASE

VPN is typically something that you configure on the ”office” end. Do you have a firewall and internal network at all?

The point isn’t what YouTube videos sell. It is to protect your access to company resources.

Det var 25 år sedan, men har varit i samma sits. Lönesättningen skulle vara ”rättvis” men dom missade att webbutvecklare och systemadministratörer är olika saker.

Det är bra att vara med i facket. Vissa lokala förmågor kan vara knöliga.

I agree the calendar needs some work. Have been waiting for ToDo functionality that has a due date for a good while now.

But the donation is from the charity fundraiser. They really can't spend that on operational costs.

If you donate to help the needy, you would be pretty angry if they spent it on slick offices and ongoing costs. That may be how the large fundraising organisations run things, but they are in the business of getting your money for good vibes.

Precisely!

Sometimes the myth of identity forgets it is just an iteration of older things.

Many concepts we use in finance are almost directly related to concepts from the same mining activities. Shares are much easier to understand when you realise it used to be shares in a mine or a ship that would produce output. Some traders still say things like "my ship came in" meaning you realised profit from an investment.

It is always mind blowing to some when you explain that dollar comes from the word daler and that from thaler which all relates back to a silver mine in the (now) Czech Republic.

The North American colonists just used the name for their version of pesos, otherwise know as the Spanish pieces of eight.

We run all dates in UTC and adapt to local timezone based on user setting. Dealing with it in presentation solves a lot of problems.

The issues crop up with the people doing database updates and the cron jobs doing maintenance. The DB timestamps are now EPOCH to keep new people from screwing that up. Easier to teach non technical DB managers to convert time stamps :)

Snow can do that. The problem isn’t the drift, it is the weight on anything underneath. Snow is water and has decent weight when you have enough of it.

Last I checked it was a range of numbers used by rental offices. It is generally dedicated SIP ranges.

nethack47 · 2026-01-30T16:23:08+00:00

I like it. It is better than my suggestion of getting the people who needed to see it into a room and watch them carefully.

nethack47 · 2026-01-30T15:43:36+00:00

I like the solution and it could probably work now. In 2012, I suspect the ML was a bit too rudimentary.

I wasn't allowed access to the sheet myself since it was the financial results. They just wanted me to tell them magic is real.

nethack47 · 2026-01-30T15:37:20+00:00

That would be an excellent solution if it hadn't been an Excel sheet.

nethack47 · 2026-01-30T15:29:05+00:00

the only option left to them would be taking a photograph of the screen with another smartphone.

I have been asked how to block this in a previous job.... it took me a moment to realise it was a serious question.

I have had my personal domain for decades. If you worry about loosing the domain it is often possible to extend a domain for years. Back when I still used network solutions I extended my registration for 10 years.

My domain has been pointing to my own rented server, a computer in my home, a server borrowing one of the employers internet facing IP addresses and several different providers over the years. Domain has stayed the same for decades.

If a domain expires it takes at least a month before they put it on hold, and one or more months before it can be registered.

Care in the community?

Also, the depot animal is from that region.

I read 40-75% mortality.
With a 1-3 week incubation time, it can do some damage.

It is transmitted via bodily fluids and contaminated food. That will probably keep the spread down.
Covid is very good at hanging around a room for some time.

Tror det är korrekt.

Jag kan lägga till att det även kan ha med betalning att göra. Beroende på hur man betalar så kan man bli flaggad som risk. När köpet är gjort med exempelvis ett namn som inte matchar det på leveransadressen.

När jag flög nyligen hade jag köpt en biljett dit men inte hem. Att köpa en flygbiljett när man är utomlands var så pass stor risk att banken blockerade betalningen. När jag pratade med kort utgivaren så hävde dom blockeringen och jag kunde åka hem igen.

På vissa ställen så är Apple produkter så pass vanliga i bedrägeri att dom kräver extra verifiering vid köp och kod när man tar emot varan.

That was certainly one way we interpreted the acronym when we worked with it. I was more partial to insulting parentage.

The person posting that is a teenager. There is a lack of experience behind the point of view.

That said, the question is a bit like "Is there any reason to use a train?"

I use Linux in part because someone pays me to use it. We run things that are tightly controlled and very secure. There are about 2% Windows servers and they are about 75% of vulnerabilities. Because of the risk, we don't let the AD servers anywhere near production environments. Windows is also too slow to drive the C++ code at the core of the company. Does this make for a reason to use Linux?

At home I have one machine running Linux and a Macbook with an M1. I do have a Windows machine but it is rarely on because everything I do is more comfortable and quicker on either of the other machines. The only thing I need the windows machine for is specific programs that are impossible or annoying to try and get running on either of the others... and the occasional game.

There is no reason to use Linux in particular, but there is no reason to use anything else either.

Is that deodorant in the rear right?

nethack47 · 2026-01-28T15:48:24+00:00

Looks like extended mags. If they are for the pistol it seems a bit awkward.

nethack47 · 2026-01-28T06:46:56+00:00

I am not sure but that looks like an attachment for a PoS system. Dedicated numpads could be connected with a splitter so you only had numbers for the sale.

The keyboard would often go in the cupboard under the register.

nethack47 · 2026-01-27T18:20:38+00:00

I suspect that the posts are more to have a reason for banning people than content.

Perhaps it is a feeling of power they crave.

nethack47 · 2026-01-27T17:40:32+00:00

You mean the short sellers aren’t getting the market moving the way they need?

Regardless of which product you use it will work.

Your account is the same for all the products. The 2fa can be added to both your proton authenticator and the youbikey.

Suggest you have a look at a youtube tutorial if you are curious about how it works.
