From the OpenBSD perspective, I just populate /etc/hostname.wg0 on my laptop with my wg configuration ... and I can immediately `ssh router` at home or on the road :-) IOW, why ever down the connection? Why not start your tunnel

It's hard - I'd say impossible for most people - to be simultaneously excellent at the organization and (yes,) politics that go into managing the output of a company, and the execution that goes into developing and operating the s

I wonder if Valve is still the same as described in this handbook, or if it ever truly was. The section on stack ranking is really fascinating ... seeing how that sausage was made would let you know exactly who is in the secret cabals the

> Instead of using UDP he reads the firewall log. Hah! I'd never seen this before, but in a fit of pique driven by ssh scanning one day I did a similar pattern on my OpenBSD router: I added a block in log to a high port in pf.conf,

Sure they will - the body shop guys still do the build, the staff developer still does the design and the project manager herds the cats, but they'll add a licensed software engineer to review the design and the load bearing parts of t

Even the most ardent of Go-haters have to be fair and admit it makes cross-compilation really nice. GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build && scp executable user@host:direc/tory/ Out of the box, no toolchains to manage.

My biggest problem has always been forgetting things when I leave the house. I was _constantly_ leaving for work, only to turn around because my wife called and said "you forgot your badge, you forgot your wallet", etc. What chan

Hey former colleague - just had to say hello on a comment where you might see. I started reading this article and everything started feeling so familiar... as soon as you told me Munch was the resident shaman, everything clicked. My favorit

Have you ever worked as a front-line support agent? I'm guessing not. I have many years ago, and for an ISP too. If I bought an Amazon share back then for every time a customer called support because they were "hacked", I&

From the perspective of a hiring manager at a mid-size company, I'm not at all surprised. I'm having a tough time getting backfills approved when we have voluntary departures, all my opens were cut, and the goal is "do way m
