Its quite common on email domains.

I have a .email gTLD and I am frequently told its not a valid domain. Its getting better but apparently many forms only consider .com, .org, .edu etc valid.

Copy them to the box. Sign them. Copy the cert file off the box back to the requester.

I run easy-rsa on a linux box. Just manually generate CSR’s and sign them via SSH.

And simply trust the CA cert in windows, linux and whatever extra places (normally firefox cert store).

Post the crl.pem to /var/www/html/ and let NGINX use that.

For most things public like plex or whatever i just use letsencrypt. Easy-rsa is really just for internal stuff like my NAS, VPN etc.

These have already seen active combat. They were used in the Armenian/Azerbaijan war in the last couple years.

It’s not a good thing…at all.

The ARR tools are basically a search engine website you host. The interact with a few other tools you have to have access to/pay for. Namely an indexing service and a (for some) a download service. They can use torrents, so you dont HAVE to pay for downloading, but using something like newsgroups is really nice and add reliability and security.

THe “ARR’s” basically then are just a fancy UI and scheduler and just search the indexing service, download the files you want, re-assemble them and copy them to the location you want (often a file share that your media player like Plex or Jellyfin will use).

You can set them to continually look for something too. So for Sonarr, it will auto-download new episodes as soon as they appear in the index. Or if you see a commercial for something upcoming, you can add it and monitor it and as soon as it starts showing up in the indexes it will download.

All the aarrrs. Saturates my isp bandwidth, have no issues with finding stuff, no takedown or piracy warnings…

Only debt we have a mortgage we owe 226k on. Cars are owned outright and were paid off early. Student loans we paid off early. We generally live below our means. CC’s are used for general purchasing and paid off in full each month. They are basically a stop-gap for fraud protection.

There definately is something. They have a ton of products. I’d have to look through my list as well. The CSS runs switchos lite, but honestly its fine. I can do CLI configs (brocade, cisco, cisco smb etc) but its whatever.

At my parents house i have been using a Mikrotik RB260GSP since about 2016 on their net. It also runs swos and im not doing anything crazy on it (in fact i never bothered with VLAN’s there though i probably should setup a guest vlan. But its been fine for years now.

if the firewall can be updated regularly then sure.

Mikrotik makes perfectly acceptable switches at a reasonable price with a variety of features, vlan compat is pretty common. A MikroTik CSS610-8P-2S+in will give you 2 10 Gb sfp , 8 x 1Gbe with PoE+ and vlans for under 300 bucks.

I’m sure it’s your total concern for AInlanguage models and not totally some contrived argument you can use to never be in the wrong. Too short and it’s not detailed enough and lazy.

Too long because someone takes the time to add context and it’s now chatgpt yadda yadda.

You should go back to Reddit with that juvenile logic.

TBH a conversation with chatgpt is more engaging than one with you. So there is that. Since i guess insults are all you can resort to if bad faith arguments fail.

Given that companies, including ones that are KNOWN to be on the bleeding edge (FAANG) and even some whos entire product revolves around WFH (ie: Zoom, Google, etc) are pulling an RTO im not really sure why you are now trying to pigeon hole and pick apart their point, while at the same time saying its not succint. They dont really need to cite anything if folks have been paying attention.

I would agree with the OP here. As a working manager and Individual Contributor at my company, I was spending an inordinate amount of time managing people and their tasks that when in office are perfectly fine performers. But at home they were not. My company also doesnt allow you to just fire people not making goals, thats not how it works, it opens them up to lawsuits of all kinds and there are plenty of weak managers out there, including where i work. Theres an entire process and almost any company with more than a couple hundred employees will be this way too.

I do have folks that are (and were) FTR before COVID and even some of them have struggled because COVID caused their home dynamics to change. Suddenly they arent the only ones home now and other factors become distractions. And not all jobs can be scheduled, many are responsive in nature.

The reality is, on the whole, most adults these days don’t seem to have the self discipline to WFH full time. Some do, and sometimes on sites/platforms like this one or HackerNews you may get an unusually higher concentrations of those rockstars that can handle it also discussing it. But for most, on the whole that doesn’t seem to be the case.

I have a mini-pc running a plex vm. And all the TVs are Rokus. So can watch anything, including live broadcast tv. And the roku is so simple kids can operate it, and do.

I’m probably wrong but I think the rules are decided before each house convenes (which is every year or two in January after folks are sworn in. ).

So this year is locked. But after the election cycle it will be time to vote on new rules. They could reverse them then. But the margins are so thin….who knows.

That’s how bullshit like filibuster rules have been degraded from actually having to stand and filibuster to simply saying “well I would do it if I had the energy so it’s a filibuster speech now”.

The only reason I keep Netflix is kids.

We don’t really watch it otherwise.

Even my in-laws are now pirates using hacked amazon fire sticks that are being hawked around their retirement community.

My mother in law is like “I get every streaming service and channel for 1 dollar a day, isn’t that great”.

I’m all “if it’s simple and works for you yeah, absolutely. “

Yeah it’s not too bad. Just the dash kit is fairly old and held together by those plastic clip. I always break those things. It’s a juice isn’t worth the squeeze honestly. I actually upgraded my radio a while back to a wireless CarPlay/android auto and mean to ask them to swap em. But forgot.

If my windscreen starts to steam up mid-jourmey, the last thing I need is to take my attention off the road to change the climate settings in the UI where dials and buttons will do the job much faster without needing to take my attention off the road.

This is why ill never get rid of my 2009 Tacoma. Three knob AC controls are the pinnacle of UI engineering. One knob for fan speed, one for temp and the third for vent/airflow selection. The backlight on one of my knobs has burned out at this point, but i dont need it…Can adjust the AC without taking my eyes off the road.

When it was ubiquitous, this meant i could do this in any car. Borrowed my inlaws FORD F-150 once, had to pull over to figure out how to turn off the goddam heat. It had BOTH a touchscreen and series of dash buttons but there were so many it was hard to figure out what did each thing while driving. I also had to update their dang infotainment, it wouldnt work on some random USB device, i had to go get a USB-A 3.0 device to get it to work at all and even then it was idling in my driveway for an hour and a half. Even tried just doing it via WiFi…nope

I have 3.

1. Dakboard above the fridge shows calendar and shared photo album. It also runs bluetooth and serves as a relay for Homeassitant and a few kitchen devices (ie: igrill mini probe for meat).

2. pikvm for a desktop

3. pikvm+ kvm for lab rack esxi servers.

the latter two also run tailscale and allow me to SSH proxy if needed as a back VPN/remote access utility.

There is also a 4th. It runs NUT/UPS tools for their network gear and a mail relay for alerting and also tailscale so I can proxy if necessary.

Since its tailscale etc. Only key based auth is allowed on these boxes.

Frankly my favorite are just generic hospital blankets.

I still use a couple i stole from the hospital (or rather paid for through insurance and seized) when my kids were born 7+ years ago. THey are awesome, and very easy to wash. Hell you can even bleach em.

When i ordered mine, they didnt have a US version. So i ordered a German model, and a keyboard (the German Model was overstock and discounted). And just swapped the keyboard.

It took about 30 minutes and probably 100 screws but it was simple.
