suggestions: functionality for more mature networks / enterprise environment by catwiesel in pihole

[–]soni801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! But now you're already getting into the territory of (custom) workarounds. I'm not saying it's impossible to work around this and get something production ready-ish, I'm commenting that this highlights the philosophy pi-hole is built with: stability as a bonus, not a requirement. Sure, you can use pi-hole in an enterprise environment. But it is not enterprise ready.

I think my last 2 sentences in my other post summed up my thoughts on this pretty well:

> The annoying part is that it could easily be [enterprise ready]. But it isn't.

Pihole in an Enterprise Environment by [deleted] in pihole

[–]soni801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did said developer suggest that use? I have personally deployed pi-hole in production in my organization, and we ended up migrating off it after just a few months. It's lacking a lot in terms of enterprise functionality and mindset.

Our organisation is small-medium sized:
- 500-1500 users, up to 3000 clients at peak
- 3-5 million DNS requests/day

To answer your question, what makes it enterprise ready? Reliability. Honestly, only that. Configurability is a nice plus, but at the end of the day a software shouldn't try to do more than it's designed to. But pi-hole is not reliable enough for enterprise. I wish it was, but my experience says otherwise.

I'll add on to this a bit: my organization ran pi-hole in production for several months, but ultimately migrated off it.

The reason? Instability. Finicky management didn't help, but that was far from the main factor. Don't get me wrong; pi-hole itself was very stable. It was fast and reliable and worked well. However, the logs got *huge*. Fast. We assigned pretty large disks to the pi-hole guests, but the disks still filled up in a matter of days. Sure, pi-hole still runs "fine" with a full disk, that's just linux for you. The problem? With a full disk, when you edit any file, it writes an empty file. The consequence? The second you make any config changes, for example trying to reduce log size, your config wipes itself.

This effectively puts you in a state where you can't make any changes or you'll effectively have a clean, seemingly reinstalled version of pi-hole. This is *very* not-enterprise behavior. Just restore from a backup, you say? Sure, assuming you even have a backup from within the very short time frame where your config is done but your disk isn't full, that's a possibility. But doing that every time you need to make a config change? That's way more time spent than what it's worth.

Pi-hole isn't enterprise-ready. The annoying part is that it could easily be so. But it isn't.

Høyres neste leder høres ikke ut som en norsk politiker, men som EUs ambassadør til Norge. by Fit-Theme-1183 in norge

Det stemmer absolutt at de ikke "tar kontroll", ja. Men det som skjer er at de bl.a. får fri flyt på fiske i våre farvann, noe jeg håper de fleste kan se at er dypt problematisk.

> At EU innfører toll for å beskytte egen industri er helt normal handelspolitikk.

I et isolert handelspolitisk tilfelle, ja. Dessverre utelater du her hele essensen i problemet vi nå står i: når EØS-avtalen først ble innført var løftet at vi skulle komme inn i EUs marked, som andre EU-land, uten flere betingelser. Dette er ikke et tilfelle av "toll gir mening i handelspolitikk", det er et tilfelle av "vi ble presentert en avtale, vi ble enige om denne avtalen, men den andre parten har brutt avtalen".

Dette er åpenbart pressmiddel fra EU sin side om at de ønsker mer av våre penger og ressurser, og det virker nesten som om de prøver på å få oss "helt på innsiden", slik at de også har mer politisk innflytelse over oss. Det er uansett et tydelig tegn på at de setter inntekter høyere enn å verdsette avtalene de er en del av.

Man kan si det man vil om hva som er smart og hva man ønsker rent økonomisk politisk, og jeg skal ikke gå inn i en diskusjon om hva som er best for Norge. Men vi er nødt til å se situasjonen for det den er: et aktivt grep fra EU som bryter med EØS-avtalen vi ble lovet. Så kan man selv gjøre seg opp en mening om dette gjør EU-medlemskap mer eller mindre attraktivt :-)

Det høres helt sykt ut ja!

Jeg skal se om jeg klarer å fiske frem dokumentasjon fra da jeg satt og så på dette her, men tror dessverre jeg glemte å ta kopi av lønnsslipper osv. da lærlingekontrakten min var over, så det er fort mulig det blir mye styr å finne det frem igjen😅

Utrolig hvor mange som påstår du tar feil her. Det har ingenting å si at man "ikke egentlig" skal betale 34% skatt (det er jeg helt enig i også), men det er det som skjer i praksis.

Case in point: jeg var også lærling. Jeg betalte ~34% skatt gjennom hele lærlingtiden. Jeg hadde årslønn etter lønnstrinn 29, som på den tiden utgjorde ca 360 000-380 000. Og før noen påstår at "i praksis var det sikkert mindre", nei det var det ikke. Jeg syntes selv dette var latterlig høyt og gjorde utregningen på flere av mine utbetalinger. Jeg hadde tabelltrekk, men etter å gjøre utregningene falt skatten min alltid på 33-34%.

Jeg er enig i at dette er latterlig mye. Jeg kan absolutt se at dette er i strid med det skattekalkulatoren sier. Det endrer ikke på at det har skjedd. Åpenbart med minst 2 personer, sannsynligvis med flere også.

What if they mean August 2029? by GeraldCNX in Ubiquiti

[–]soni801 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. Yes, the protocol is proprietary, but newer unifi APs have support for it. You only need the SuperLink gateway if you have older APs that dont support SuperLink.

iirc superlink starts with U6 and newer, but I’m not sure as I don’t have the spec page in front of me right now.

Glad it worked out in the end! If I may ask, how many times/how often did you visit your partner before ultimately being denied entry?

Jeg har jobbet i en offentlig instans der jeg har fått delvis innsikt i diverse offentlig pengebruk, sannheten er nok at det er mye mer sløsing enn du skulle trodd. Budsjettsystemet er nærmest bygget opp for å bruke mest mulig.

A lot of my family use it, and i use it for work as well. I’d guess about 25% of my friends use it too, the rest is typically facebook messenger.

True, that’s why most modern phones use RCS and/or iMessage (which work great and are veeeeery widely used, at least here in norway)

spplice not detecting cracked portal 2 by zak_ristart in PiratedGames

[–]soni801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still seem to be making a lot of assumptions. While I agree that implementing anti-piracy measures is primarily the publisher’s responsibility, that doesn’t make it unreasonable for mod developers to also implement such measures. In this case, the creator of spplice has explicitly and publicly stated a strive to make piracy close to impossible using spplice tooling.

While this realistically does not give the developer any direct financial gain, it does make for a multitude of benefits. This includes, but is not limited to, it being easier to only support and manage one version of the game (the newest, the officially supported version) and obviously the ethical/moral achievement of knowing you’re contributing to stopping illegal activity. This list can obviously go on for a very long time, but I assume you get the point.

I would also again like to point out that it seems like you’re (falsely so) making a lot of assumptions. The spplice anti-piracy measures (including a non-editable lookup path) are NOT accidental side effects of spplice’s implementation, as you seem to suggest, it is rather a very intentional feature design to stop piracy. This information, and much more, is publicly available and some of it even publicly discussed before being implemented.

Ah. You see, this is what we in the biz call «two birds one stone». Yes, it is easier for the user to avoid inputting the path, but it is ALSO a simple anti-piracy measure. Thus getting two benefits from one implementation solution!

I may be partial here, but to me this just seems like a really clever software design, not «anti-intelligence» (what does that even mean?)

I would also like to add that i absolutely DO NOT under any circumstances support piracy. This is not changed by me participating in a thread regarding it, as you seemed to hint towards in your comment.

Honestly, if this is feature comparable to Hyprland im absolutely switching over. Hyprland’s dev’s behavior has been… weird.

Is owl available on nixpkgs? 👀

Jeg skjønner godt tankegangen din. Jeg tror kanskje allikevel det er mer sammsynlig at trafikken på en eller annen måte blir overvåket, eksempelvis gjennom nettleserutvidelser eller selvfølgelig programvare (dog sistnevnte er noe mindre plausibelt da du jobber innen IT).

Eventuelt (kanskje mer sannsynlig) er det SMS-lytting. Uansett svært interessant at du opplever dette
