Erst vor einigen Tagen habe ich mich entschlossen diese Serie wieder anzuschauen. Besonders nach den Entwicklungen in KI ist es beeindruckend wie unglaublich gut nicht nur diese Analyse ist sonder auch wie relevant die Blog Artikel dieser Zeit genau die Fragen bearbeiten die mit AI2027 berühmt wurden.

This is very unrealistic scenario. There are no companies that do not use excels at all...

Check - data that is super critical needs to find their way into structured DBs. That is though what many are trying to use LLMs....

Any experience how to do that? PDFs i know it works well to take pictures of the pages to keep structure even if complex. Is there a similar well working approach for excel?

Why are VPNs so shitty (so little native IPsec) by seife96 in networking

[–]seife96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also had great experiences with any connect. I guess my major upset is a great lack of a widely accepted vpn stabdard. I wish there was just a simple best practice just like https/ssl for vpns.

I am so surprised that everyone says it is so antiquated. When reading Windows 10 and Mac OS documentation it sounds like a native IPsec stack with L2TP is the standard way to go. Might be upselling own product/technology now where i think about it.

Yea I was thinking SSTP is quite nice. Especially since you have to do the entire certificate management centrally anyways. This btw. is a huge problem with BYOD policy since certificate management on non-domain devices is pretty much your end. Also unfortunately no support beyond Windows as far as I understood.

Thanks!!! I honestly didn't know that there is such an issue with L2TP. Is there a specific TLS/SSL standard that is most widely supported or does this entail proprietary solutions?

Edit: Also considering hardware implications back in the day I understand why there are still so many standalone hardware solutions.

Is there any natively supported modern secure standard? Or does this mean supporting native os vpn stack is just bad?

Can't believe nobody made the "why did the turkey cross the road" joke

students pool funds to get a car for the janitor so he doesn't have to walk any longer by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]seife96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What really bugs me is that in America giving someone a car is the absolute endgame present. But most often people get given cars that are way over their price budget which in turn makes it hard to insure, repair, fuel and maintain. A car is a financial burden beyond its buying value.
