“What does this section of code do?”

Run it and find out, coward.

Maybe if Apple was giving it away or donating the money from the sales, but as it is they are just profiting off it.

It’s kind of crazy how off the rails this series got later down the line.

That’s my data, I don’t know you!

The adoption of IPv6 on some segments of the Internet has lessened the crisis around IPv4 availability.

I use Ansible on WSL to run Powershell scripts on Windows using VSCode. I’m surprised it works as well as it does.

That would require Congress to act and Congress is barely capable of accomplishing the bare minimum to keep the budget running so the entire world isn’t thrown into chaos. Asking them to do anything that actually protects consumer rights is going to take either an emergency or an extreme electoral shift.

Is this tied to a registry key though? I do all my Windows cleanup and customization from Powershell/Ansible so having a GUI settings option isn’t super useful.

For 99% of people an online password manager like Bitwarden or LastPass is going to significantly help them manage passwords securely despite the risks associated with cloud services. Most people can’t handle self hosting Bitwarden or syncing a Keepass database by themselves. Without an easy to access and easy to use online option people will revert to significantly riskier methods like password reuse or using some sort of repeatable/guessable pattern.

For the 1% of people who want more security there are options like Vaultwarden or Keepass. Even then it’s not uncommon to make mistakes and lose data/access or leave some sort of vulnerability exposed. The attack surface is a lot smaller than a public service though which is beneficial.

You could, but that information gets stale pretty quickly and is tricky to do with the ACLs.

I want to criticize this but I have multiple production environments with no DHCP and the process for provisioning new servers is basically “Guess an ipv4 address and if you pick one that’s already in use the build will fail and you can guess again.”

This is arguably better which is a little embarrassing.

Don’t even bother rebuilding the bridge, my imaginary hover train will be even cheaper and faster.

That’s been my problem. It’s overpriced for just a single camera considering I already manage a big storage pool that my other services can use. But do I want to lock myself into buying other Ubiquity IP cams down the road?

Don’t the Ubiquity doorbells require a ‘dream machine’ storage appliance for recording video? I didn’t think there was a way to use your own storage anymore which has been my main hesitation in getting one.

The last few years have been really bizarre. In 2019 it really felt like my org was moving away from Microsoft. I’d just retired Skype and we were moving over to this new Microsoft Teams thing but the executive team was asking me about moving to Google Apps and dropping Outlook/Exchange/Sharepoint entirely, maybe we expand our Slack usage too? Then Covid happened and Teams turned into essential infrastructure overnight.

Fast forward a few years and the entire Microsoft experience is now basically built around a Teams-first strategy. It’s the main thing that my users care about and use on a daily basis. They want more things integrating with it and use it as a pathway into other Office products. Microsoft is making a real mess of things, but it’s kind of crazy how fast they pivoted to meet the new needs of their users and keep them locked in.

I’m a sysadmin and these days a good third of my job is apologizing to end users for the stupid shit Microsoft does that I have no control over. Managing Microsoft products is like having a bunch of ticking time bombs that you have to juggle while everyone yells at you.

I use ZFS for this exact reason. I didn’t want to be stuck using a specific controller or have problems if I needed to migrate my storage to another server. It’s a lot more flexible than a hardware RAID too and has some nice benefits like snapshotting.

Burnout and that free off-road ATV game that came along with the later PS2s are both responsible for my taste in music.
