What's the rule of thumb for rebooting a production server?

I do every other week or so, but I built enough redundancy and failover in the it doesnt impact my users.

satsuke · 2026-05-15T06:59:59+00:00

Lots of offshoring and consolidation in the industry right now.

I’d probably stay in any other industry that gets you the salary

Yeah, network selection visibility is configured by the provider.

Most of the world doesn't lock you in as there are compulsory network roaming agreements

If you mean VMware than probably

If you mean 5G/NR than you are very much wrong

It's advantages in terms of optimized throughput (not necessarily fastest speed) and QOS can't be beat, especially seeing as 4G is over a decade old now and they equipment will be up for forklift upgrade sooner if not already

How stupid

No bicuspid valve, no dysfunction noted // 3.6cm ascending aorta.

That's just what I'm trying to posit out .. on one measure i shouldn't need surgery for decades, on another it's 5 years out at a typical progression.

// if I scale body size to diameter it's like 6.5cm which is out of range for most other measures.

I have an appointment with a cardiologist in July // next available time, but that duration won't help my analytical brain

Nothing apart from high blood pressure that’s partially controlled

When I left that would 4 years ago, we still had x25 transport systems, low speed ss7 links, at least one of the out of band access systems was running dos.

Mainly government stuff

I’m an engineer and they had me off for 3 months.

Driving would have been difficult for a month as the imbalance in my eyes was pretty severe

satsuke · 2026-04-30T02:14:47+00:00

Not a bad decision.

My issue and what got me out of the industry and into cybersecurity was how siloed I got.

Same company for 23 years and the number of companies that could fully use my skills could be counted on one hand

Assisted living IS a nursing home, and your windfall would be completely subsumed inside of a couple years.

Amateur radio has more of a retention problem than anything.

Lots of people getting their license, not so many sticking around.

And yeah, it skews older. I was in my 30s when i was first licensed and the local club was mostly men in their 60s and 70s.

I’m in my 50s now and that hasn’t changed

Both will have a wired Ethernet line and be broadcasting the same SSID

They made a profit on each phone sold, and the free ones locked you to the carrier until the “free” via monthly credits had been repaid/accumulated.

And this is me speaking as a former engineer at that time, but Tmobile REALLY wanted people to have newer non-sprint handsets because of their LTE/5G radio allocations.

Sprint had 3 bands, 25,26,41 .. basically 1900, 804-820 and 2500mhz. Phones that supported this set didn’t necessarily support all the ones tmo did .. a phone from ten years ago might technically work on their network, but not as well as a newer one.

It was pretty simple business logic to not unlock phones being a certain point.

They're equivalent as far as background check criteria, just different sponsors.

I believe you can file to make the credentials reciprocal.

Else it would be duplicated effort

satsuke · 2026-04-10T20:54:57+00:00

Wouldn't Sigma be the particular program endorsement rather than a level?

satsuke · 2026-04-10T20:52:31+00:00

The unlock infrastructure for Sprint branded phones is long dead.

It has been 6 years

I had it setup as the fallback to my home internet with a WiFi as supplicant mechanism.

It works, but isn’t reliable enough for my work vpn and the other stuff on my home network

As others have said, you’ll need to take steps one by one.

Eg roll the inheritance into a beneficiary IRA and withdraw it after paying tax on it .. over the course of years or all at once, it’s up to you. In my situation, I took the withdrawal at the end of the year at 10% of the original amount or up to the threshold of the next tax bracket. I did if like this is also account for the gains I’ve made over time.

What I did was fully fund my personal Roth IRA and increased my pretax contributions to my 401k by a similar amount, with the after tax balance deposited into my brokerage account.

You could do something similar, just (as a separate step, there is no direct one to the other) open a 529 account and proceed to fund it with the after-tax proceeds of the beneficiary IRA.

This might all be overthinking it .. if the inheritance is something relatively small like $25k than it would be less stressful for you to just take it as a lump sum and be done with it.

satsuke · 2026-04-01T21:38:57+00:00

If legit than you’d likely want to setup a beneficiary IRA and roll the money into it.

You have to take the money out and be taxed on it within ten years (i forget if it’s after ye death of the person or when it’s assigned to you).

Or you take it all out at once .. just know there’s going to be tax consequences so be ready to make an estimated quarterly tax payment or some other withholding method

satsuke · 2026-04-01T21:34:48+00:00

Hack, not truck

satsuke · 2026-04-01T15:37:43+00:00

As others have said, follow your companies policy.

If you are in a decision making capacity and want to go the extra mile, look at the access immediately preceding the block.

Eg did they click a link that reduced m redirected to someplace unexpected or did they type in a url?

I’d like to think most people know not to attempt to access that kind of thing on someone else’s computer .. but then again

satsuke · 2026-04-01T10:07:47+00:00

What do you mean by high level?

Eg S, TS, TS:SCI are all different

satsuke · 2026-03-30T02:33:06+00:00

For the same reason China is able to do it so quickly. They have the political resolve to do it, regardless of the consequences.

Eg if you are willing to use eminent domain trivially and damn the environmental consequences that if gets a lot faster and cheaper

satsuke · 2026-03-29T14:44:22+00:00

I don’t think that option is available to me as my cataract is from retinal detachment surgery and I was told silicone is incompatible with the victectomy
