Also the same, been doing it for roughly a decade now. Outside of a once a year emergency I don’t start work until after lunch. I just say ‘I have other commitments in the morning’. I’ve had some PM’s push early in client engagements but it’s never escalated more then that. I just make the boundaries super clear and am always willing to walk away.

I think it primarily comes from American cartoon culture. Little mermaid had it in 1989 but I know ive seen it in others. Probably even Looney tunes

For Windows it absolutely is in order of listing however. Typical behaviour is no reply after a second against the primary DNS results in it moving down the list.

Redundancy aside, this is more important when you span multiple datacenters and always want lookups going to the completely local or most local DC available.

TIL about the Linux/BSD not having preference though. Good to know.

NetAlertX does network detection monitoring if that’s what you are after. I’ve been very happy with it, I use the ntfy forwarder so I get the alerts on my phone.

For me it’s because I’m hungry AF and just don’t want to wait for them to fix it. Not being that picky helps.

Ahh OK my bad. I’ve only worked with NTP for a long time and wasn’t aware of the earlier stuff.

Latency is accounted for in the sync process

Another happy Connect user here and you can enable the beta branch from the play store. I ran into a bug a few months ago and made a post, the Dev had it fixed hours later.

Connect was also one of the very few apps that was very early to doing instance and other flexible filtering options. It’s so good I can browse All without getting upset.

It’s actually the number of brain cells lost every time someone reads stupid shit like this on the internet

I’ve worked with POS systems my whole career and I still can’t help think Piece Of Shit whenever I see it

Thanks for the post, super appreciate the posting of other communties. I think this is a great way to grow Lemmy and create discoverability for niche communities, I’ll keep that in mind myself on future opportunities.

Wireshark won’t show you anything if it’s encrypted, other then a communication taking place. There’s nothing stopping them from batching or otherwise obfuscating things through all kinds of means.

Or in this case, likely using mom’s electricity without her knowing

This is how email servers have worked for decades - there is no silver bullet and this comes closest. If you poorly admin your email instance, say allowing it to be an open relay (same as just allowing open registrations), you get blacklisted everywhere aka defederated. Same if you have a compromise and someone starts spamming out.

The attack vectors I’m thinking of just come from the inherent complexity and centralization. I’m just considering the amount of damage that can be done with a compromised DA account for example vs a non directory environment.

It’s complicated. Done right it can be more secure, not done right it’s less secure.

I also only get brought in for problems for the last however many years, so I’m probaby a bit biased at this point haha.

I have had to tell companies they are going to have to rebuild thier AD from scratch because they didn’t know what thier DSRM password was (usually after a ransomware attack). These are the sort of hassles I think about vs non AD.

You could look at freeIPA or something similar to stay on Linux.

I’m an AD specialist, starting when it came out with server 2000, and can tell you it’s a waste of time for a home network unless you are doing this just because you want to learn it.

It will definitly not make your life any easier, and will increase attack vectors, especially if you don’t know how to secure and protect it.

You mean the late 1900’s

Installed Mint on a 2013 Macbook pro retina a few months ago, only thing not working for me was screen brightness with the proprietary Nvidia driver but was able to correct it.

Otherwise it’s great

Probably because the market is saturated. There can only be so many ways to make a todo app.

Most software made today is the same recycled ideas with a different coat of paint.

So, there are very few new apps that would generate enough value to a majority to be newsworthy

Yeah necroposting is almost always frowned upon in favor of making a new post.
