I pay $600/month for my "employer provided" health insurance
  • It’s bullshit, but your employer may be covering your insurance almost completely and that 600 goes toward your family. At least that’s how my insurance works. Again still bullshit that health care costs that much and then they won’t cover shit when you need it.

    It will outlive us all
  • Same as VGA, shit just works, don’t need to worry about drivers or OS. So if your server shits the bed, you don’t need to worry about these things not working so you can can figure what went wrong.

    Family of taekwondo instructors saves Texas woman from sexual assault
  • I live near here, the cops were probably very busy running radar guns around town and took a while to deal with something as unimportant as sexual assault.(this is sarcasm)

    my wife is pregnant and all I feel is worried
  • This is exactly right. It may not even be when you see your child’s face for the first time. It took a while for myself. But it happened and I don’t want to go back.

    Just enjoy this time with your wife.

    US says cyberattacks against water supplies are rising, and utilities need to do more to stop them
  • I’ve worked on networks for water systems as well and you are right, the problem is people. Weak or default passwords, little to no physical security, it all comes down to the people in charge.

    In this side of networking, typically accessibility is considered more important than security as they don’t want to be locked out of something in a pinch. With recent hacks, the opinion is changing, but slowly. The industrial world moves at snails pace compared to the enterprise side. They operate on a if it’s not broke don’t fix mentality.

    Docker - what use is it?
  • My company deploys a lot of cell modems. Some of them support containers. It’s really nice to deploy everything we need in one piece of equipment, as opposed to 2 or more, for a very simple application.

    Several other pieces of network equipment support it now as well. A SIEM can run a remote node directly on a switch.
