This goes to every LinkedIn brain idiot spouting recycled nonsense about the new Industrial Revolution and that white collar jobs are going away. These blabbering idiots never read a story book to understand the time period, that people displaced by industrialization were uneducated illiterate farm workers in a period in time before democracy.

Jump today most countries stable enough to build infrastructure are democracies and the white collar people you are demonizing do vote and that immense investment in infrastructure is not really easy to relocate.

They don't exist because the organizations who lobbied governments were YOTI, Persona, K-ID and others who have a vested interest in collecting data and rent seek by latching through regulations like diseased ticks.

So people in dubious legal circumstances are locked out the internet?

I doubt it will ever be because Apple doesn’t understand the non casual gaming market.

Can’t wrap my head around how their firewall rules work. Default rule and there is no way to change it.

And lately the interface has been so convoluted and nonsensical. DNS records sure now “policies”, you can only assign very essential rules like setting routing rules to known objects based on MAC address - the ui doesn’t allow you to pick an IP address.

I wanted to create a special routing rules to allow a container using macvlans to always leave through ISP2. Since this is a macvlan the interface MAC address was different every time the system started. Mind you “ip x.x.x.x goes through link 2” is one of those basic things firewalls and routers do since forever but if the object doesn’t exist on their automated inventory then forget it.

I guess routers and access points are easy to replace with a normal OS but I’m yet to see a managed l2 or l3 switch that runs user provider OS. I’d ditch anything in an eye blink if there was some kind of fully open source network stack that can be controlled through infrastructure code. Affordable that is, not including that Nvidia thingie.

Is the firmware open though?

Still sucks that you need to verify if your kernel update is compatible with the external module.

Seems MacOS Snow Leopard is for the Apple people what Windows 7 is for Windows people.

Small fans need to spin faster so these can be very high pitch even if you stuff some Noctua 40mm fans into it.

As much as I would love to see Anthropic going down in flames I think that developer doesn’t deserve to be targeted by such a low effort social media farming post.

I am nothing but grateful for Samba and Rsync.

I really wanted NFSv4 ACLs but Linux doesn't like it while FreeBSD doesn't make use of my hardware (intel p/e cores) in the most efficient way.

To be fair setting up a KDC and then distributing krb5.conf and idmap.conf files is not such a hard task.

Then it's not unencrypted anymore because sec=krb5p handles signing and encryption. I have better throughput using sec=krb5p than with samba signing and encryption. I don't know if it's because Samba uses GNUTLS but the transfer speeds are always awful.

My beefs with NFS is MacOS being extremely quirk with settings. That and the extremely misleading error messages.

>Dev1: Here's a great idea! Let's run an insecure network server in Kernel space!

>Dev2: OMG! You're so smart! Let's also exclude any encryption!!!

If it wasn't such a cool idea they wouldn't be doing it again, this time with direct access to memory: https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/smb/ksmbd.html

>I don’t know if this is actually a problem or how big of an advantage it would be to use NFSv4.

Of the top of my head only one port is needed for V4.

> The default install isn't very useful, because it doesn't do a lot, and so "only two remote holes" or whatever isn't really saying much.

Thats not really true. Comes with spamd, pf, httpd, OpenSMTPD and others. Its actually one of the open source unix-like systems that packs more functionality out of the box.

Great firewall and VPN server. You can setup wireguard with just ifconfig.

Interesting. I had a 705 G4 (or 74 g5? Idk the one with the Ryzen 2400Ge) and the firmware supported putting the machine secure boot system on setup mode.
