Yeah, damn, I always forget about that…just like they want…

Sucks if you wanted a different EV, like Rivian, Leaf, that toy battery truck coming soon…

Ha, “regulatory action”…

Only when corporations feel pain do they ever utter the words…

The only time corporate enshittification is fun to watch is when they’re doing it to each other. Of course, normies still pay for it…

I mind the work much less than the general corporate organization and interacting with it.

I usually enjoy system building. I agree it’s taking many technologies and pieces and putting them together. Where we differ maybe comes down to the why, for whom, and how much good it does? Maybe if you’re any good at it?

I have no interest in duck taping things. Any solutions I’m involved with need to be balls out, bullet proof, maximum effort, or not at all.

I wonder how many of us agree with the ‘dona few things really well’ vs being a generalist.

How is their stock price still so high? Especially after their recent beach denial?

If you want to go balls out, go get DISA stigg for Redhat.

Knowledge primarily, since I’m not running a business.

At this point, like they say in Chips, TLS inspection is standard…

If your enterprise isn’t doing TLS inspection on everything other than banks, medical, gov, they’re doing it wrong.

Some times people think the hard part is getting the CA trust setup, but I find it’s far more tedious to deal with certain sites and mobile apps especially that do certificate pinning.

I like OPN also. I’ve always appreciated the stability of the BSDs.

My only personal complaint with OPN/PF was the TLS inspection.

I’ve read about adding the modules to *Sense, but I haven’t figured out the configuration pieces.

It just works with Sophos UTM and XG firewall, and the configuration was super easy.

You always use what you like though.

This is true, the 6 GB RAM limit and four cores.

I run a pretty enterprise home lab, and I haven’t ever seen the devices hit the resource limit.

I have around 3k IPS rules and TLS inspection for most categories of sites except the normal stuff like streaming, banking, etc that you’d not want or need to inspect.

For anyone it might help, I use these as inline proxies rather than as the gateway at the moment. So they have more than just internet traffic going through them, they also have segments of my LANs getting evaluated. Performance has been great so far.

Should we be discouraged or appreciative of the shit show that is the current and near term state of information technology and security?

On one hand, there’s never been more need for doing IT well, more informal computer based warfare, and an enormous plethora of companies trying to innovation or enshitificate security solutions…

On the other hand there’s all that above.

You’d think job security, but still not quite.

I see security people grinding and burning out, not sure if that’s fixable. Maybe if you change from caring to not caring?

Thoughts?

hates him and sabotages him at every step

Isn’t that also describing his children?

Lol, funny because true. We are all so angry about the exploitation.

I did low effort gpt 😉

The claim that medieval peasants worked only 150 days a year and had many holidays off is partially true but oversimplified. The reality is more complex and depends on time period, location, and economic conditions. Here’s a breakdown of the historical evidence:

1. Medieval Work Schedules & Holidays

Church Holidays: The Catholic Church mandated numerous feast days (e.g., Christmas, Easter, saints’ days) when labor was restricted. Estimates suggest 80–100 holidays per year in some places, but enforcement varied.

Sunday Rest: Work was generally prohibited on Sundays, adding about 52 non-working days.

Seasonal Workload: Agricultural work was highly seasonal. Planting and harvest times were extremely labor-intensive, while winter months involved less fieldwork but still required tasks like repairing tools, feeding animals, and processing food.

2. The 150-Day Work Year Claim

Some economic historians estimate that medieval peasants worked fewer days annually than modern industrial workers. However, 150 days seems too low, as it assumes every feast day and Sunday was fully work-free, which was not always the case.

Many peasants supplemented their farming with additional work (e.g., weaving, milling, carpentry) during “off” periods.

3. Hardships & Work Conditions

While feast days provided breaks, peasant life was physically demanding. Workdays could be long (often from sunrise to sunset).

Hunger, disease, and social obligations (such as corvée labor—unpaid work for the lord) made life challenging.

Despite rest periods, subsistence farming meant that food shortages and unpredictable weather could quickly lead to hardship.

Conclusion

The idea that medieval peasants had an easy work schedule with extensive holidays is partly true in the sense that they had more frequent breaks than modern 9-to-5 workers. However, their work was far more physically demanding, they faced food insecurity, and their “off days” didn’t always mean leisure. The claim of a 150-day work year is likely exaggerated but does reflect the fact that medieval societies structured work differently from modern capitalism.

Had to look up bellend. Agreed.

When I read the headline, I thought: “this is what we’re studying right now? Seems like some bigger problems…”. Then I remembered I’m not the target audience for archaeology

Quick reminder, everyone struggles with wanting to be validated and downvotes by random Lemmy users around the world don’t matter.

Take a breather, touch grass/snow and remember no ones opinion on here matters, especially mine 😉

Maybe the reason we’ve had a bunch of crashes all the sudden is that we SHOULD have fired all them before now? Maybe they are INDEED the geniuses, and WE are the stupid ones…

Also, I’m way too lazy to read or even try to find those memos, so I appreciate the cliff notes version. Pretty scathing.

I appreciate the clarification his videos usually bring on legal topics

Anyone use open source tools professionally or in your shop? Security Onion, Wazuh, etc?
