Is this a terms of service violation in most places? Seems like a childish waste of time, but I guess not surprising.

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.

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.

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…

Won’t someone please think of the investors…!

I’m just glad they’re still distracted with torrents…

rawdawg some torrents

LOL! Did you spray 1’s and 0’s in their face when you were done?

Lol, even in 2024 with free VPN/overlay solutions…they just won’t stop public Internet exposure of control plane things…

Blank check

Funny how that seems to often be the case. They need to see the consequences, not just be warned. An ‘I told you so’ moment…

Agreed.

Dont we all use centralized management because there is cost and risk involved when we don’t.

More management complexity, missed systems, etc.

So we’re balancing risk vs operational costs.

Makes sense to swap out virtual for container solutions or automation solutions for discussion.

Yeah, that’s pretty risky for this point in time.

I guess the MBA people look at total cost of revenue/reputation loss for things like ransomware recovery, restoration of backups vs the cost of making their IT systems resilient?

Personally, I don’t think so (in many cases) or they’d spend more money on planning/resilience.

Seems like your org has taken resilience and response planning seriously. I like it.

contract “options” are indeed normal. You could also lump in government contracts into the category your thinking about. I’ve never heard of a scenario where the vendor broke contract by not honoring the options. I also have never dealt with a vendor getting bought out and then not honoring existing contracts. Super fun to watch the corporate drama. I personally don’t care for the private equity style business that seems to be an even bigger problem than the investor first/profit centric model that I thought was the worst thing.

There’s a lot there, thanks.
