Obvious you know better. But having a green will make someone assume to choose that one.

And that's a regular complaint that I have always had about it. But that "installing by accident" doesn't apply to IRJ, or really anyone here. Random users, sure.

That's nice, before it was hard to do that!

The older ubiquiti APs can do a mesh setup. I did a bridge between two of them one time a long time ago. It worked ok.

I did this between homes for 2 years, worked well enough.

I use AWS WAF with Cloudfront, Terraform, Cognito and any functions for the applications so it is very powerful.

Are you using owasp top 10 rules?

Yes

@stacksofplates said in How to script a process upon wake up on Ubuntu:

You could just modify the bluetooth.service to have this :

[Unit] ... `After=suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target` ... [Install] WantedBy=suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

What file are you using?

This is what I found /etc/systemd/system/bluetooth.taget.wants/bluetooth.service

That is nice and clean. Easy to integrate with SIEM if you'd like as well.

My view is for the UK. With social media and online services, even internet banking etc, all our data is out there and how it's used we have no control. I wouldn't be surprised if they all feed into GCHQ anyway.

Upgrading bluetooth did not work, but restarting bluetooth service worked. I think I should be able to script something here

Anyway of using Systemd to restart bluetooth service after sleep?

Yeah, actually. I stumbled across this a few mins ago. The guy in this post uses Systemd to restart Wireguard. The key is WantedBy line is probably the important bits.

Description=Run restart_wireguard Requires=network.target After=network.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target [Service] User=root Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/restart_bluetooth.sh #or the command if you know it. [Install] WantedBy=suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

@PhlipElder i do agree there are some areas where MS is clear front runner like Office 365, but as far as infrastructure all major CSPs offer same services. It's on the SaaS side where there are some differences

@IRJ said in Why Right to Fire (and Hire) May Be in the Employee's Favour:

Why is most of the world against R2F? It seems like Europe, Middle East, and Asia all have laws against it? Not sure about the Americas outside of the US.

A lot of the world are still driven by lots of low paid task worker jobs that are relatively speaking easy to replace.

Fun fact - that's the town in Colorado where I live. Guess we'll be getting fewer potholes fixed this winter.

Ha I didn't read the full location because I just assumed it was Erie, PA which is like 2 hours north of me.

Our town motto is "the other Erie" 🙂

The one that isn't Eriesistable.

Here is my 50+ point list of Questions and compensation related issues.

Some stuff is straight forward: but start with immortal words of Wutang Finance.
CASH
RULES
EVERYTHING
AROUND
ME
EXCEPT
WHEN
OTHER
ASSET
CLASSES
PROVIDE
HIGHER
RISK
ADJUSTED
YIELDS

What I mean by this is cash is 100% solid comp, but other benefits (RSUs, 401K match, ESPP ) should be adjusted and factored in.

Some stuff is situational:
Support for “In plan post tax 401K to Roth” conversions may not strike your fancy, but I’m going to dodge a boat load of taxes over the years using this ”One trick several senators hate!”.

It relies on systemd.

@stacksofplates said in Any awesome paid linux desktop software out there?:

Depends what you want. ANSYS works well, is stupid expensive, and runs on Linux. But not sure how much CFD, acoustic, thermal, and mechanical engineering you're doing.

Most of the major CAD and/or CFD applications are available on Linux. Back in the 90s I got to deal with running them on IRIX and OpenVMS. Got into the window when everyone started switching to Windows as well (Pentium III era).

how long has systemname been a thing?

Seems to only appear in Debian/Ubuntu systems.

6c6f5d62-6bfe-41ba-8b32-3b528463af7c-image.png

Let me get some clarification - is systemname meant as a variable - i.e. you put in the real system name OR are you literally supposed to put '127.0.0.1 systemname' ?

Actual host name

awww.. ok, then my question wasn't really needed...
Thanks! Misunderstanding on my part.
