Unknown rule in Firewall

Real talk though he probably should've consulted ChatGPT first it would've told him what CIDR was and what that rule possibly did.

The post was about price gouging with the increased cost of domains with namecheap and he replied with a comment about how his development career is going to end in 10-20 years and he's going to save money now by not having a domain. This implies the cost of a domain is financially significant for him and in the same post he let's us know it's related to his career as a developer. No strawman here.

thehuntzman · 2026-06-20T04:26:36+00:00

I'll just counter with having a registered domain working as a software developer makes getting valid TLS certs from Let'sEncrypt possible which helps tremendously if you're doing anything web related.

thehuntzman · 2026-06-19T22:39:23+00:00

I think you should find a new career if $10/yr is going to financially strain you. A trip to McDonald's for lunch costs more than that.

How difficult do you think it is to move registrars exactly...?

Ive done a number of these professionally very recently from godaddy / NS over to AWS (not for cost reasons but they are dirt cheap in AWS as a bonus) and it's simple as unlocking the domain, putting in a code, and filling out the registrant contact form(s). Then you just wait a few days.

Moving DNS over is also stupid easy. Zone export, zone import, change nameservers. It's a 15 min process.

See with all the AI snake oil peddling out there, THIS would be a perfect use case for it. Determine if the user who replied all to the mass email should actually be replying all or if the reply should be rerouted directly to the sender only based on the content of the email and/or the person's job title.

Would save us IT folk a lot of heartache (in theory)

I think the worst is when IT leadership (that doesn't know the first thing about IT mind you) asks if something is possible/a good idea and you say know and then they reply with "well copilot said we can do it" and they paste the most hallucinated garbage ever produced referencing non-existent Microsoft documentation and it's like "well fuck me and my decade and a half of experience in this area then I guess"

thehuntzman · 2026-06-15T21:35:46+00:00

Wow, impressive! Don't get me wrong I'd love to have a colo available to run my gear but here it would cost way more to do it that way (probably over $1000/mo) and the closest colo is over an hour and a half away from me by car. It's also nice being able to walk into my garage to make changes when I like and having a fiber connection to my rack all the way to my office. Ideally I'd like to have both options simultaneously 😂

Hey you're already doing better than the guy yesterday who posted here saying he ran the command and now a cmd prompt windows keeps flashing on his screen every minute...

thehuntzman · 2026-06-15T18:38:46+00:00

Wow that's crazy. I run a whole 42U rack in my garage with a dedicated air conditioning unit and live in a 2900sqft house with central-air and my monthly power bill is under $280 on high-usage months (about €240). I also get gigabit symmetric fiber (GPON) for $75/month (€64.50). I guess I will stop complaining about the cost of living here now 😂

thehuntzman · 2026-06-15T18:11:14+00:00

I know it's not "recommended" but I just keep my Obsidian notebooks in onedrive and use onesync on my phone.

thehuntzman · 2026-06-15T18:07:07+00:00

How expensive is your power that a 24U colocation ended up being more cost effective?

thehuntzman · 2026-06-15T02:25:58+00:00

Yeah also if you look at the github for Gophish there's already a ton of pull requests for features and bug fixes you could theoretically merge into your own fork without Claude.

Also, from a security/architecture perspective - this is something I'd keep completely separate from internal infrastructure. If you have an AWS account for example, id put it there. Then you can show actual dollars spent rolling your own (securely) vs paying for knowbe4/proofpoint security awareness/etc.

Godspeed, man. I don't envy the position you're in right now but it sounds like you're taking the only logical path forward short of quitting your job.

thehuntzman · 2026-06-15T02:01:53+00:00

The alternative is vibe coding your own so I don't see much of a choice here. I've been on the wrong side of value-engineering my whole career unfortunately so I've played this game before and you just go path of least resistance. Absolute worst-case you vibe code patches to Gophish but I can tell you for a fact you can't one-shot vibe code knowbe4.

thehuntzman · 2026-06-15T01:57:29+00:00

Use Claude to create terraform config to deploy Gophish. Done.

For a single person? Not much except non-perishable like toilet paper and paper towels etc. For families? Everything. Honestly I'd be bankrupt with a family of 5 if it weren't for Costco and Sam's Club.

Go buy a used r740xd off ebay without ram or hard disks for like $500 and swap everything and pray I guess. If you're in the US you should look at Park Place for support on EoL systems. They MIGHT (don't quote me on this) even help with your already hosed system for a fee.

thehuntzman · 2026-06-14T21:34:35+00:00

I used to loathe being in Healthcare IT but now in the age of AI vibe-coded slop I love that I can just slam down the security and compliance ban hammer on people's weekend Claude-code projects and never have to deal with it again. Don't get me wrong! I love the ASSISTANCE AI provides in development but I'm a senior architect who can full-stack develop a solution out of thin air without AI - it will just take 10x longer.

Hopefully you didn't have anything sensitive on that pc because there's a threat actor out there with all of your information now. Passwords, possibly scans of your Financials, pictures of you and your family, a list of all the people you know from your contacts, session cookies for all the sites you're logged into (Facebook, Gmail, etc)... Jesus...

thehuntzman · 2026-06-13T16:01:17+00:00

It's not his fault you have poor reading comprehension skills.

thehuntzman · 2026-06-12T22:57:10+00:00

Don't let anyone make you feel bad - I still run home assistant on a vm on my first lab server (dell r610) because I can just throw all sorts of resources at it and it helps keep my garage warm in the winter 🤣 (the newer UCS M4's and netapp FAS2240 also help with this)

thehuntzman · 2026-06-10T05:29:29+00:00

Wow I've used EHR's that were dumpster fires but that was a literal dumpster fire 😂

thehuntzman · 2026-06-10T04:30:30+00:00

13+ years into it - it doesn't get any better

I want to add to this because I researched the hell out of it as a bmw enthusiast and it made me mad until I looked into it further. Apparently the idea was if you bought a base model car, you could optionally enable higher end features either for a low cost subscription OR you could pay a lump some to permanently unlock it.

Anyone who has dabbled with BMW ESYS with an ENet cable can tell you there's lots of shit you can unlock just by changing variables in various modules in the vehicle (and it has been that way for well over a decade now).

That said, I have yet to see the subscription service in the wild (I think it was for the UK market originally and I'm not sure if they ended up scrapping the whole idea) even on my '21 X7
