Don't give them the opportunity to sabotage.

Come to think of it, I only know two .su domains and they're pretty great...

#opentowork apparently. From other images.

The green PP flair is a nice touch.

We just have to invent a new meal. Can't have breakfast after 10:30? Fine, you can't have midnight meal before 10:30!

Don't forget JFK!

I do the same, but it's very clear that when people talk about "a VPN" they're referring to a commercial cloud hosted product.

idk what to tell you, calls have no sound.

I'll try again, though.

Teams calls for example :( I have chromium on my Debian only for teams.

"private meeting rooms" lol

They're over 3.5t, requiring special licenses in Europe. 🤯

Yeah I agree.

I see potential in a chat bot that can explain concepts and answer questions, supported by illustrations.

Infrastructure maintenance is management, security and day to day business, while software engineering is mostly concerned with itself. They use distinct tools and generally have nothing to do with each other (except maybe integration).

We need new terms, IT means "works with computers, but more than Word and Excel" for too many people. In Switzerland they split the apprenticeship names to 'platform engineer' and 'application engineer', which I think is fitting.

All of that is fine, and they mentioned the management perspective, which I get. It was a field test and our original choice of 4001 - which is what other serial to TCP servers like us use, also in their network - was unavailable.

What irks me is the "technical impossibility" of raw TCP and "I must be wrong" when filling out their firewall change form.

They've since given us a different port "close to others that we use", for whatever reason that matters, and based their choice on some list of common protocols outside the reserved range. But not 4001.

That by itself is just one thing and I wouldn't give it a second thought, but it's all part of a larger picture of ineptitude. They opened a ticket because an arrow at the border of our UI vanished when they screen shared on Teams. Because of the red border. And they blamed our application for it.

They didn't set up their PKI correctly and opening our webpage on specific hosts gave the typical "go back" warning. But it was our fault somehow, even though the certificate was the one they supplied us and it was valid.

Well, maybe an 8th, but DEFINITELY NOT A 9TH!

When trying to request a firewall change IT told me "ports between 1 and 1024 are reserved and can't be used for anything else" so I couldn't be using it for a pure TCP connection, and besides, there would have to be a protocol on top of TCP, just TCP as protocol is obviously wrong. I was using port 20 because it was already open...

Where's the "CALL ME THE MEME LORD" meme

Greed is a hell of a drug. Enshittification of the game industry means you buy the final edition after a few years at a sale and ignore any remasters/rereleases/remakes/reskins since they're all obvious cash grabs and add less and less to the game.

The latest step to curb this is always online DRM for single player games. Easy off switch for old versions when you want the cash cows to buy the new one at full price.
