It’s the /24 mask given on the .42 that’s a little suspicious because that’s not a common range for anything else.
Well now I know. I operate a ton of /24 subnets in the 172.16.0.0/12 scope. Technically I could fit them in the 192.168.0.0/16 scope, but I have lots of students connecting SoHo wifi-routers to the subnets, and this way it’s pretty easy to tell, if someone put the WAN cable in a LAN port when people are getting 192.168.1.0/24 DHCP offers.
For anyone wondering what ADD can be like, just imagine that your brain is firing like that for hours on end. Until you find a subject for your hyper focus. Then your brain is still firing wildly, but it’s all just about that one super interesting thing, which you BTW will have forgotten all about after a random length of time, between 3hrs and 3weeks usually. Although I have had about 5 tabs open on the back burner for months now.
Same in DK, and my comment was meant to underline that. If you see a drone and no operator is around, then something is definitely wrong.
I mean, years ago, I had a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ drift away, on account of my own inexperience and stupidity. This was right when it had just come out, and way before drone licenses and laws forbidding drone flights in populated areas. So no laws were broken; and it was done with no malicious intent… But these days?
Not even the DK police, who have some very well-trained drone operators, can fly their drones out of sight.
Seeing a drone with no operator once? Something might have gone wrong, let’s not jusødge too harshly, but seeing a drone with no operator regularly? On your property? If you have a hunting permit, a shotgun, and a clear shot, then it might be a good time to practice your anti air skills.
Addendum: drone licenses and permits doesn’t allow you to fly over private property or main roads.
Since op didn’t mention seeing a pilot, I’d suspect that the drones are flown out of sight. So asking them to stop can be difficult. Of course asking nicely, by downing a drone, might get the message across.
I wonder if I could shoot down drones here in Denmark as well.
In 2013 we all still believed that Putin wasn’t the madman that he has turned out to be. I remember thinking that our biggest threats were right wing terrorists, Iranian nukes, and maybe North Korea. Sure we had seen what happened to Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2008, but I don’t think anybody in the NATO countries saw that as the test it turned out to be. My point being that when Snowden flew to Russia in 2013, intent on seeking asylum, it may not have been his first choice, but it was as crazy an idea as it would be today…
With that said, I’d like to relate to some your post:
What I am saying is it is legitimate to criticize him and highlight his collaboration with the russians.
Sure, it’s legitimate to criticize anything. But without taking all the circumstances into account, the critique loses relevance. At least for me it does, and that’s what I’m arguing.
Well let me tell you as someone living in Ukraine (and was born in Donbas with my hometown being occupied in 2014 and relatives having to leave everything because of the russian occupation);
This is on a completely unrelated note. I’d like to apologize to you and every other Ukrainian, for the incompetence of my country’s politicians. We promised you +100 leopard 1 tanks, but due to the ineptitude of our politicians, their investments, and the resulting organization, we haven’t been able to deliver a single working tank. Whenever our politicians “donate” equipment it is blown out of proportions by our media. But when it comes to delivering useful kit, it fails over and over again. Rest assured that our present government is not going to be reelected. Their replacement will not be competent either though. Anyway, I wish we would do more than ship you our outdated equipment like it was some sort of humanitarian mission. It’s not a humanitarian mission, it’s fucking war and half assing war is stupid… Slava Ukraini! And death to Russian orks.
You full well know that there are real consequences from Snowden’s collaboration with the russians.
And we’re back in the discussion at hand :) the only consequences I can think of, that comes from Snowden collaboration is the propaganda tool he is now, and the intelligence he had to offer 11 years ago. Disregard him to mitigate the propaganda consequences.
I hope that whatever intel Snowden gave the Russians, it was limited. I think that a person with Snowden’s background would be able to encrypt the information he traveled with properly.
I’d like to know if I’ve missed something here. I really don’t mean to troll you. If you believe that I’m misinformed, please inform me.
Trying to survive is fair. But putting him on the pedestal and labelling him as “untouchable saviour who can do wrong” is not normal.
I don’t think that I’m putting Snowden on a pedestal. All I’m saying is that, like everyone else in Russia, who have a public profile, Snowden knows that he can either toe the party line, or plunge to his death from a basement window. What we really need to do, is to realize that anything coming from the mouths of anybody in Russia, is the result of a proverbial gun to their heads and should be treated thusly.
That’s with the mindset that I wouldn’t want to stay long at a job like that
Oh I concur, but elsewhere OP mentioned that the job pays a rather unskilled (OP mentioned having an A+) 20 year old 55k USD, and OP is getting certs as well. In that case I’d seriously be working on my STFU-skills, instead of meddling in something that my boss really wants me to stop meddling in. Maybe do a bit of CMA - but not to the extent of emailing my boss to get a paper trail.
When you’ve been in an organization for only three months, and it’s your first job in the industry, maybe just absorb what’s happening instead of trying to change stuff. Make up your own opinions, sure, but keep them to yourself. Maybe evaluate on how you perceived situations, and how they played out, and modify your views based on that.
He could have chosen to not collaborate with the russians
Yes, he could indeed. He could be the metaphorical guy with the bags standing in front of a line tanks. But why should he?
This might not a big deal for you, but on a purely theoretical level, you don’t see how this hypocrisy could be important for others?
If you insist on applying a purely theoretical analysis, on the actions of a very real person with very real concerns for his safety, then I think I’ve found the problem with this discussion. You can’t lift this problem to the this level of abstract theoretical morality.
But to answer your question more clearly: no, I don’t see how this perceived hypocrisy could be important for others.
Do you sincerely believe, that Snowden should have stayed put and faced a firing squad for whistle blowing? Snowden is trying to survive, and if daddy Putin says “go on TV and say these lines”, then the sentence doesn’t have to end with “or else” and the lines will have to be a lot worse than “Russia will never invade”. Snowden did what he had to do for his country, by telling the public about the surveillance, now he’s paying for it. Why should Snowden be fighting for the Russian people as well?
OMG the naming schemes for powershell is enough for me to stay away. A +20char name for a command that shares the first 10 chars with 15 other commands, so you can’t just tab through it? No thanks!
Will look into nushell though, thanks for the advice.
It’s your first IT job and you’ve been there for a few months? While your safety concerns definitely can be relevant my advice is this
You should
You could
Very few places that wouldn’t extradite Snowden instantly, even fewer that can’t be paid to do it. With Russia, Venezuela, and North Korea remaining his options, then Russia was the obvious choice. At least survival in Russia came with a price, had he stayed then the pay-to-play model for life wasn’t available.
we never do aggressive things
Lady, some guys are at the door looking for you, asking “WTF?!?” In Chechen, Ossetian, and Ukrainian… Oh wait there’s a guy loudly yelling in Finnish coming around the corner with his buddies from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania… OMG they’ve got torches and pitchforks, saying that they’re looking for their friends on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_deaths_of_notable_Russians_(2022–2024)
I do realize that she’s talking about individual Russians not being aggressive. And I know that I shouldn’t find it so funny, that she’s having this wake up call from the world… But I find it absolutely hilarious. You want others to like you? How about treating people better? And if your country’s the problem then revolt.
Imagine being the person being told: yeah, so we only hired you to challenge beauty standards. Not because you’re the best at what you do, oh no no, but because you’re ugly af
404 no hero found
It was either political violence or a false flag operation. Either way, no heroes were involved.
It was what piqued my interest in getting one, but I was broke and in school, so no hilux for me. But that the prices are still inflated is wild. I mean it was the 4th and 5th gen models that were unbreakable, and the one I found was 11years newer than 5th gen.
But the age of the unbreakable hilux means that I can get them on a classic car registration, which comes with a low yearly registration fee, inspections every 8th year, vs 2nd for newer cars, and cheap insurance. I may have been looking the wrong places for a hilux.
On a budget?!? have you seen what these puppies go for? The absolutely cheapest drive-able used hilux in Denmark, is a two seater 2008 that’s done 228000 km, and looks like 300k. Even the navigation has been ripped out and replaced with some butt ugly off the shelf stereo. And the seller is still asking for €9300.
I’d friggin love to have a hilux, but it’s definitely not budget enough.
What’s the point of underlining like that? I mean you highlight something to make it stand out, but when everything stands out nothing does. If you really must highlight such an obscene amount of text, maybe draw a vertical line next to the paragraphs instead, and add a note in the margin about why you marked it. If you need to find the passage again you could also put a postit on the page. But underlining with a pen? That’s just poor style.
Original Finnish management has split off to a new independent company with the same name last year
Best business move EVER! Now people have to wonder with whom they’re doing business. Sorta keeps people on their toes. Way better than coming up with a new brand, making it easier for their five customers. /s
I was wondering what a washing machine needed a TPM for. Better title: “machine fails to boot after power failure”
This list is GREAT … but if you’d be willing to venture back to the late 90s or early 00s I’ll offer you three more names:
All three are open world.
