Never got my ball sack caught up in it…

I love it when core services are down. How am I going to know you have a problem if you can’t contact me? As far as I can tell everything we control must be good to go.

The one on the right looks better too. I think they are just mad they are being outsold and outclassed.

No, we don’t have an actual fuse in the outlet or plug. Some devices have an internal fuse, but not like the UK where almost everything has a fuse in the plug.

Only about 1500 watts worth

As early as my wife will allow. Hurry up and wait is just how life is to me and I have no issue sitting in a chair patiently… My wife does not feel the same and I’m okay with that, we understand how each other feels so we just leave when she says it’s okay lol.

Amazing reference friend! Definitely bookmarking it and maybe mirroring it locally (I hate when repos go private or disappear).

100%

With or without biometrics, you can just take the sd card out and boom, no need for a finger print

USB’s are another really big no-no where I work, and running a different OS on my work network would 100% throw a lot of flags in our SOC as it’s essentially plugging a rogue device into the network. In my understanding, a reverse proxy allows access to specific resources, if configured properly it only allows access to your DMZ.

VPNs allow you to become part of a virtual network (like one you aren’t physically connected to), frequently providing access as though you are directly connected to the whole network. I could set up a VPN to my DMZ I suppose, but that just feels weird as hell as the whole point of a DMZ is to be an area you allow the public internet to reach (sometimes requiring authenticating to the reverse proxy).

Oh yeah, I 100% agree with that, honestly two VPNs are better given you wouldn’t want your normal VPN to terminate into your management vlan (nor should you want your management vlan to have access to the internet). I thought we were just discussing normal homelab stuff, all administrative stuff should really be oob.

Just by making it so I can’t access from a system I don’t control. Like say I need to retrieve a document from my house, but I’m in a SCIF, or a waiting room, or anywhere else I wouldn’t have my personal device, it’s super useful to just connect to something like Nextcloud and pull it down.

Hmm… Where I work setting up a VPN on my work machine would not only break my workflow, it would probably cost me my job. Plus I’m not a big fan of giving computers I don’t control access to the internals of my network. Reverse proxies were invented for a reason, no reason not to use one.

My homelab stuff I like to be able to access from places that take all my free time (like work), making things accessible is a bit of a requirement for me.

I’ve been using Authentik for a while now and absolutely love it. Is it perfect, no, but it’s an IdP completely under my control and that definitely makes up for some shortcomings here and there.

?? Which lines are you implying? It’s blaringly obvious what the goal is, I was merely remarking at the incompetence of the current administration and likelihood of them doing it very badly.

I just assumed it was because it lined up with them destroying the GUI, the new layout is the hot garbage that finally got my wife to opt for jellyfin.

Could you specify any of those issues? I ask because the only one I’m tracking allows unauthenticated playback, but only if they know the path to the file on the machine which is very easy to change from default.

Lol… With this administration? They’ll probably just report that they recieved 10x whatever the other party gets and brag about how big America must be to get more votes than citizens.

Not going to lie, I hate doing my annual review and letting copilot write it for me was too bad this time. I fed it my standards/objectives and said “did I do this stuff? Write my review for me” and it did something better than I would have come up with. I was able to see the references it used so I feel okay submitting it. Didn’t have time to work on it this year with as many people as we’ve lost over the past couple years.
