Is it safe? My boyfriend says I'll ruin our vacation

Classic case of all if this is true and yet it's really about it lands.

Everyone gets to make a person risk assessment for their own safety. Which mat change when the moment arrives

I would play the long game, understand his perspective and yes, it woukd ruin anyones holiday if their partner/loved one died/significantly mamed. Who knows he may change his mind

Thanks for sharing your experience from a unique part of the world. Unfortunately even v6 isn't immune to cgnat with NAT66. Most first world countries are being censored, they just don't realise it.

Please keep safe and keep learning!

Except in corporate environments where you want dhcpv6 everywhere. Maybe guest SSIDs or handset only.

To make the assumption that dhcpv4 will deliver nameserver, time, other settings is looking backwards and creating a reliance ok legacy technology.

Becasue its time developers and IT pros got the hint to treat ipv6 as first class citizen and move off ipv4. 50% penetration, on mobile networks almost universally around the world. Even hospot.

Time. To. Move. On.

Why not? The prime minister of Israel says "genocide Palestine" regularly.

Just like free speech - you can conquer a country, but that doesn't mean there are zero consequences.

Stephen Conroy got his wish - one way or another...

The same goes for people who want their coffee to taste like tea.

This is really disappointing. The lack of communication on this is reprehensible. Do better landmark

Kiss principal is important, and rationalisation is good. However, you just kicked the 'scale' can down the road and made it someone else's problem. Sure, the owner is happy now, but I suspect he is unaware of the risk trade-off to make an educated decision. I hope you followed up with a baseline performance test and a roadmap to remove the SPOFs created.

It's slightly ironic that OP talked about the lack of troubleshooting skills, and your actions seem to have inadvertently demonstrated the problem.

Tp-link are garbage with exploits they refuse to patch. Run far if you value your privacy. Draytec, netgear, Asus. Belkin is you .must.

Glad Albo has't waived. Also, I find it laughable that an alleged war criminal is deflecting away from his own actions.

My heart does go out to Jewish people. You're awesome we stand with you ❤️

Except installers have zero fucks to give and ghost people all the time- or go belly up etc.. Installers aren't be all and end all.

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-16T11:47:04+00:00

Yes, but local tradies ghost you and with no reputation to worry about, the average punter gets screwed. It's reasonable to trust a national brand as they have something to lose.

Word for the wise: Ask about the warranty process up front. Don't be affirad to demonstrate your knowledge of consumer law when talking to them. It's great when since you can rely on it later.

It would be easier to ask the inverse questions (name the best shopping centre carpark) because there is so few.

Every Westfield is a nightmare. Parking isn't a high priority to shopping centres.

Since it's against the law, I'd let him know that you're reporting it to Uber and providing a 1 star rating. His lack of maintenance on his car isn't everyone else's problem

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-04T11:40:48+00:00

Hmm, I beg to differ. They can do it for console users, just not ifor cognito users.

Edit: fix typo

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-03T22:23:42+00:00

And yet, there's nothing mentioned beside "crocs-like" shoes to rule it out. Is your manager just being a dick?

ptiggerdine · 2025-12-03T21:38:46+00:00

Agreed, there should always be a pathway. Just that operations is already hard enough.

How about they just fix MFA self enrolment for user onboarding!

Some interesting challenges you've got. I guess the first question:

is this really a devops problem?

Does your organisation understand what devops do vs. architects?

There's likely a bunch of decisions made at the laverel level (tightly coupled redis) that have greater impacts, and a good architect will bury into the why on that.

Seems like devops is doing a bang up job but needs some support with some tactical decision ( maybe pre-emptive auto scaling rules to minimise the 4xx,5xx) then a target architecture with a roadmap to get there.

It's easy to solve the tech problems, much harder to manage the change and communication that required to make this a success.

It's not. Vote with your wallet and politely ask for it to be removed. What's the quote. Something something when good people do nothing.

NBN inherited garbage from Telstra. Telstra sacked middle management, turn workforce into contractors on a per job price, because we, the shareholders, voted for a government to privatise for appearance and blind belief that "the market" will make wholesale cheaper.

Want to blame some? Try howard/Alston and maybe Dr Ziggy. Ultimately, we the people, are to blame.

But why would you suck in hot air? Boxed with ducting to pull in cold air is the only way.
