+1 for keen as a company in general. My young kid had a pair of keens where the rear pull loop failed right away. I emailed them and they sent her a new pair for free! You pay more but that convinced me they’re worth it.
There was a server I inherited from colleagues who resigned, mostly static HTML serving. I would occasionally do a apt update && apt ugrade to keep nginx and so updated and installed certbot because IT told me that this static HTML site should be served via HTTPS, fair enough.
Then I went on parental leave and someone blocked all outgoing internet access from the server. Now certbot can’t renew the certificate and I can’t run apt. Then I got a ticket to update nginx and they told me to use SSH to copy the files needed.
They are sort of right but have implemented it terribly. Serving out a static webpage is pretty low on the “things that are exploitable” but it’s still an entry point into the network (unless this is all internal then this gets a bit silly). What you need to do is get IT to set up a proxy and run apt/certbot through that proxy. It defends against some basic reverse shell techniques and gives you better control over the webhosts traffic. Even better would be to put a WAP and a basic load balancer in front of the webhost, AND proxy external communications.
Blocking updates/security services is dogshit though and usually is done by people that are a bit slow on the uptake. Basically they have completely missed the point of blocking external comms and created a way more massive risk in the process… They either need to politely corrected or shamed mercilessly if that doesn’t work.
Good luck though! I’m just glad I’m not the one that has to deal with it.
I’ve been a cord cutter for a long time and I enjoyed watching world news on Al Jazeera for a long time. While I definitely enjoyed their content as an alternative to the celebrity fluff filled US cable news, it’s definitely biased against Israel when it comes to this conflict. However, I would still recommend everyone watch Al Nakba which is streaming for free with no ads on their website. It’s a four episode documentary series about the founding of Israel with primary accounts of what happened in the ground there from Arabs, Israelis, and British officers.
It’s probably very biased and one-sided, but the rest of the media is very biased and one-sided in the other direction.
For example, Wikipedia says that the 1948 war was started by the Arabs once Israel declared a state. In Al Nakba, they challenge that narrative with first-hand accounts from Arabs and British officers who say that it was the Israelis who started the war through ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages, in some cases before the British even left.
I moved to Montana from east coast and my shoes were like lol fuck that so my gf ordered me a pair of royal canadian. Paired with darn tough socks they get it done.
If you hold secrets and do not tell the whole thing (even the most disgusting stuff) to your SO… then it means that s/he is not that “special” anymore.
I mean, a relationship is never meant to be one-sided, but a “You and me” thing. And if you don’t think like that, then you are doing it wrong.
“So you are telling me to just throw random disgusting stuff to my SO?”
No. Call him/her in particular, “Hey can we talk a bit?”. It does wonders, that is all I can say about it.
t. Used to “play the tough guy” back in my early years. Took the “My life is an open book” route. Never looked back since then.
No, there is something called discretion. I don’t for example have to tell my wife what I think of her father. She loves him, my kids love him, I think he is a great father-in-law there is zero need for me to comment on his body odor issues to her.
…and I said to call (whoever is troubling you) in particular and bring the issue up = discretion. And using your words well, you can even talk about someone’s lack of hygiene/odor.
And I said that it is a pointless conversation to have. Tact is not discretion. Tact is the act of bringing up what needs to be brought up in a face saving way, discretion is not mentioning what doesn’t need to be mentioned. There is zero reason to mention this to her so I don’t.
Do you seriously do this? Tell your better half literal everything. Like if you noticed her brother was a bit ugly you would definitely make a point of mentioning it to her later.
This whole thing sounds performative and selfish. Like you want to be applauded for it. Have you thought about how she feels? Knowing that any mean nasty observation you might have will be pointed out to her in a passive aggressive way.
And I said that it is a pointless conversation to have.
Why are you bringing so many random problems/issues out of this? That (most likely) not even exist let alone happen? It’s just a conversation, not a threat. If anything, it tells a lot about you, heh.
There’s no “motives” when they don’t exist – you just extrapolated the whole thing for the sake of lack of arguments.
And resorting to low blows won’t prove you right and neither set me as “wrong”, but only show you that you’ve let yourself get emotionally triggered in a 3 minute long convo.
Not everything is relevant. Not everything that is truthful is kind. You seem to have this weird idea that you should prioritize your feelings in all things over your partners feelings, rather than understanding that something simply aren’t a big deal.
I don’t know too many–read: any–marriage and family therapists that would ever suggest you tell your SO every possible thing unless and until it became relevant. There are good reasons that people that practice radical honesty usually don’t have many friends.
Edit: I remember now. Fromsoft games are a little heavy handed with the online name censorship, and there was a streamer my fiance and I watch that was playing with someone who’s name was heavily censored. One of the suggested names from the streamers was “Grandpa Suckem” and my fiance and I found it hilarious.
Ours is named Hairy II, because he picks up so much cat hair. All credit to my aunt for the name, though. She had a robot named Hairy before we did, and we just co-opted the name.
Great games feel fewer and farther between after this long. Yes, you get a Witcher 3, or Baldur’s Gate, or Zelda sometimes. But really, and it sounds fucked up to frame it this way, they’re merely excellent. And I’ve played a lot of excellent games, so unless one is on a tier never before experienced by anyone on Earth, eventually things feel less special for some reason. It’s fair to say that some games are innovative, but they are very few. The best we usually get is stuff we’ve seen before, just insanely well polished/tweaked on ocassion. Ultimately, there’s not a lot new if that makes sense. It’s sort of a been there done that vibe, and it’s probably just a sign you’ve played too much good shit. Like an addict that has hit the same pipe too many times lol.
