Splendid! Let the flames cleanse all!

It isn’t a magic solution, no, but you have a lot more control than crummy layer 3 firewall rules and endless lists.

The big players have far more data about what bad looks like. Either we can play whack a mole with outdated tools and techniques or get smart and learn to use what is available.

Self hosting doesn’t mean we go backward in terms of the sophistication and difficulty, it means embracing modern solutions.

In the dinosaur days, we had primitive tools, but so did the attackers. We cannot hope to self host with any measure of security if we bring piss to a shitfight.

Cooool, thanks!

My bonehead orange harasses me constantly. If i start talking to him while under siege from a volley of howls, he will just howl MORE.

FAR TOO NOISY.

They all sit on each others boards.

However it just takes a few activist board members who have big time fomo and want to be early in with a virtual CEO.

I’m sure I will be put out to pasture first, but at least I will be laughing from my cardboard box.

Lie to employees, absorb money, travel needlessly, tell everyone to RTO when they are never in the office, take a fat bonus, fire people, bullshit the board and stockholders, pull ripcord on golden parachute, lather rinse repeat.

Yeah, i think an ai could handle most of that.

I got some kasA devices on sale, they work fine. I dislike that I have to use their app for initial setup and when I rotate WiFi passwords. Will use them until they fail, then will switch to something else.

Give em to me!

I have a dozen or so, zero issues.

Having said that, I do prefer zwave to WiFi. Glad theyre starting to head in that direction. Just dont understand why zwave gear is always 20% more expensive.

Because mike Meyers is entertaining and the movies are well-made goofy fun.

Its not so complicated. Also, does anyone still make comedy anymore? Seems like it has fallen off a lot.

Get a WAF. Sophos firewall is free if you want to diy. If not, use cloudflare.

Opening ports, logging, monitoring, nailing up allow listed IP addresses and dicking around with fail2ban is such a timesuck. None of that crap will stop something from exploiting a vulnerability.

Some things are worth farming out to a 3rd party. Plus, you can just point your DNS entry over and be mostly done. No more dynamic IP bs.

Dumb deer go away

See, this is so true!

Now someone tell my wife that using a fuck machine in my my ass and nipple clips is super reasonable!

Please and thank you.

I do tend to get off topic.

I’m very well aware, but the apple folks tend to be a LOT more dogmatic and vocal. When people talk shit about android, nobody really cares. Do it to apple? Jfc.

I am pointing this out because the current mess will never change for the better until apple users stop supporting apple. No, you dont have a lot of choices, but stop signaling support for them. Get mad and demand better. Be vocal about THAT.

Well, companies are using ai to delete our resumes so I’m all for blasting them with fully automated ai submissions.

Just keep submitting and iterating, eventually one will get through.

In the end, we are battling HR on our turf. If we can’t beat these clowns, we deserve to be jobless.

All the apple fans out down voting today…

FYI this may not be the time to take allegiance with them if you at all understand what is going on.

I didn’t think that this needed to be said, but I suppose it does.

IT IS NOT OK TO FUCK CHILDREN,PULL YOUR DICK OUT AND DO STUFF TO THEM WITH IT OR MAKE THEM DO STUFF WITH YOUR DICK. IT IS NOT OK TO LURE KIDS IN WITH THE END GOAL OF FUCKING OR MOLESTING THEM. THIS IS VERY BAD AND YOU SHOULD NEVER DO IT. RICH WHITE PEOPLE, THIS IS MAINLY FOR YOU.

There, I hope that helps.

Seriously, I was em dashing on a goddamn typewriter, the fuck am I gonna change it now.

In the end, it won’t matter. Being able to write well will be like riding a horse, calligraphy or tuning a carburetor. They will all become hobbies, a quirky past time of rich people or niche enthusiasts with limited real-world use.

Maybe it is for the best. Most people can’t write for shit (does not help that we often use our goddamn thumbs to do most of it) and we spend countless hours in school trying to get kids to learn.

Science fiction has us just projecting our thoughts to other without the clumsiness of language as the medium. Maybe this is just the first step.
