Currently working on a networking problem. I have multiple Proton VPN connections on my Mikrotik router. Main reason being for fail over in case one endpoint reaches capacity, goes unresponsive, etc.
It’s a bit tricky since Proton issues the same peer and gateway IP for each connection. Haven’t quite got it working the way I want it to yet.

It’s a scene from the film How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying where the main character tries to make it look like he’s been working all night, right before the CEO walks through the door.
We don’t need to live in space. Space is not naturally habitable by humans. We just need to stop fucking up the one planet that is.
I wonder if this is part of the reason why Cox stopped listing their small business plans and prices online.
And then there’s the “promotional discount” that expires after a year or two, requiring you to call back in and threaten to cancel your service before they’ll give you back the same price you were already paying. It helps if you actually have other ISP options.
I also think you should not be allowed to abandon your copper infrastructure without offering a replacement. AT&T refuses to offer new DSL service even if they have an old POTS line connected to your house because “we don’t do DSL anymore” but I guarantee they would have a problem with it if I ripped their pedistal out of my front yard.
How dare you! President Trump has ended over seven thousand wars since the beginning of his second term. He also single handedly eliminated human trafficking, poverty, all illnesses, and climate change (which is still a liberal hoax). If that were not enough, our dear leader sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos which the low energy avengers were too weak to do. He then raised himself from the dead, ascending like a Phoenix from the ashes and returning to grace us with his wonderful benevolence for the rest of our days.
Praise be.
A few years ago, corps were just throwing shit at the wall to see what would stick. Everybody who wasn’t a software company decided they were now a “software company”. I liked the salary that came with it but the actual projects sucked. Working on stuff you know is DOA is very demoralizing.
Have you ever heard the story of Bobby Tables the Dropped? I thought not. It’s not a story that AI would tell you.
There’s the tarrifs and theres the bizarre anti-renewable energy sentiment harbored by the current administration.
Personally, I think that’s just coming from power utilities pushing the idea that, “it’s cool if WE build a solar array but it’s not cool if YOU do it.”
while rich people can be reckless spenders.
In the late 1800’s, the Vanderbilt’s were one of the wealthiest families in the world. Right up until they each blew their respective shares of the family fortune by doing shit like building houses that they couldn’t afford to maintain.
“As I mentioned in my previous email(s)…”
To me, it’s not necessarily people climbing it that’s the issue. It’s that some people have so little respect for everyone and everything that they’re perfectly content to use the world as their own personal trash can.
I shit you not, I recently chewed some lady out on the hiking trail 2 miles from my house because she chucked the plastic bowl and spoon from her lunch off into the woods, in front of God and everybody like it’s just no big deal. Well it’s a big fucking deal to me.
And if a person can’t manage to go on a hike or scale a mountain without leaving their garbage behind like a slob, then they should stay home.
The blog gives a few vague answers, none of which shed any light on how Python became so popular. If I had to guess, much of it’s popularity came from being embraced as a data analytics tool – which is honestly a great use case for an interpreted scripting language – and its subsequent adoption by academia, introducing it to an entire generation of CS grads.
Python has advantages and drawbacks like any programming language. It’s not my favorite language and it’s not my least favorite. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Exactly this. I like to say “the interest on the technical debt always comes due.” The problem isn’t so much that it exists but that organizations fail to manage it. Just like fiscal debt, sometimes technical debt is necessary or advantageous. The key is investing enough effort to keep the balance and interest rate low.
When that doesn’t happen, features take longer and longer to implement as even small changes require increasingly large amounts of refactoring.
Additionally, defect rates tend to rise. In my experience, organizations that don’t like to manage technical debt also don’t like to invest time in proper unit testing.
“Awww Man!” – Malicious Actor
That is a very interesting way to describe nepotism.
From now on we will refer to “technical debt” as prepaid capacity.
I haven’t been in an office since 2020, but the 15 years prior that I spent numerous offices taught me that much of corporate life is spent dealing with office politics instead of accomplishing anything meaningful.
Those “water cooler conversations” that executives are so keen on are mostly spent shootin’ the breeze or complaining about how Bob from marketing is a fucking moron.
Turns out when people step out for a break or head to the water cooler, they don’t want to talk about work. Shocking, I know.
Is the White House trying to rename shit that they don’t have the ability to rename again? First it’s the Gulf of Mexico and now computer peripherals.
