They do look like Really Sweet Ramps™ though. You could probably clear 25-30 garbage cans if you used Jimmy's Diamondback.

I've actually seen medical offices setup similarly. Some random computer in a back office with all of their patient data on it, completely exposed to the internet, protected by nothing but a few Windows Firewall rules limiting the connections to a few IP blocks. Just so they can share information office-to-office for say... a root canal and dental crown to be done on the same day, but at 2 separate locations due to limited space.

I'd run out of fingers if I were to count the number of times I've seen similar setups, 3-4 toes would be needed at least.

Fun Fact: I once worked with a team that were mapping Iran's internet infrastructure... for reasons. One of the ways we were able to zero in on the more important systems was because we kept finding these weird Cisco routers that had Telnet exposed to the open internet. All of which just so happened to share neighboring IPs (or close enough) with some pretty serious government systems. Fun times.

I'm not a CISCO tech, so I don't know the specifics beyond that. But I do remember that the Telnet connection would permanently ban any IP that failed even a single password attempt. So they had that going for them, I guess lol

I have a magnet on my fridge that the city used to give out, it has ALL of the local numbers on it. The thing is hella faded and probably a good 30+ years old now. I haven't seen another one in years.

Because this is just a PR bust. All of the sites that are actually worth going after are all out of their jurisdiction and/or properly cover their asses (cloudflare, self-hosted reverse proxies, etc).

Gotta show The Boss-man something to justify their budget.

I've only ever met a few people that knew non-emergency numbers were a thing. Let alone know them by heart. So I bet this going swimmingly.

It's because Steve bought a Toyota Prius, so he has to counter Steve by spending $4,000 to make his truck blow smoke everywhere. Because fuck Steve! He's a free thinker! Steve isn't gonna tell him what to do!

They're literally that easy to manipulate. At this point, we should just organize so-called "leftist actions" that are just bait for them to waste their time/money trying to counter. Because they will, they absolutely fucking will. See the picture above and the videos of morons burning sports jerseys or shooting 24-packs of Bud Lite.

On a good day, yeah, I have 100Mb upload so I could just match that going full ham. But I mainly seed rare (<10 seeds) things now and set a 10.0 ratio cap on all of the new/popular stuff. Gotta keep those '80s and '90s ISOs seeded, ya know? ;)

A good example: their SN30 Pro has a bad bluetooth chip in it that makes Xinput support really laggy (I don't know the specifics). It's been years now, and had a few firmware updates, but there's still been no fix. It works great for everything else though, so I still keep it around.

Just a warning for anyone thinking of buying one after reading this...

Me: looks at my 10-15TB/mo VPN usage

It's totally legit, I swear! Nothing but Linux ISOs and repo clones!

Open-Shell can fix that when you're forced (at gunpoint, obviously) to use Windows ;)
