Am I crazy that those sound reasonable IT manager level things? If company size is 100-200 endpoints, the IT manager should understand all of these, if he/she doesn’t, I would not want to work at that IT team

Do you need operating system? Select emacs

Do you want to be elite coder? Select (neo)vim

Do you need to just edit .conf files? Select nano

In a line to the bar, one girl told me she knew how to compile Linux kernel. I kneeled instantly.

Yeah, that beast can probably host one medium size corporate with Linux, and do some crypto mining on the side

The problem is that it can only be speculated how they work, because they have not published it. That is quite suspicious in my book.

I personally would avoid reolink and use rtsp + frigate + ha, to have full control with known open source selfhosting solution.

I understand that people like the easy setup, but if you already do selfhosting, it isn’t that big jump.

Be careful with reolink, their P2P solution is pretty suspicious. No body really knows how it works and who it shares the data with.

You can disable those features, but it will stop reolink app from working.

They have never explained how the peer-2-peer network works, and it security and privacy is quite unknown.

Reolink is Chinese, which doesn’t really help these concerns.

Better to selfhost frigate and just rtsp cameras there.

I was working on a project that had 100 000 line oracle database PL/SQL procedure that ordered a work order from subcontractor. It was just one single function. That was called by classic asp + visual basic COM component.

Oh Lord, I get Vietnam flashbacks about it.

Aww hell no, still getting nightmares on classic asp error handling.

I must admit, my home rack server runs hyper-v, it is free and I have MSDN. Of course inside the hyper-v I run ten linux boxes.

Proxmox really didn’t exists before and I didn’t want to use VMware.

Next one I will do with proxmox.

Please dont judge me.

You mean C#, the Microsoft Java.

(Don’t kill me, I am actually fan)

Certainly!

Fighting means that you care.

Good luck trying to find industrial stuff that supports IPv6, hell most of it is still serial.

I have legit heard that serial is security mechanism because it cannot communicate long distance like ethernet.

Of course you can do IPv6 magic that hides IPv6 from the end device, but nobody understands how that magic works.

6 permission mean read+write, but no execution rights. So you cannot execute any commands and system bricks itself.

For efficiency you should you GOTO, so you can join trees that end up in same position.

Like those create your own adventures books.

I did chmod -R 666 / when I started playing with Linux in 1999. It did not end well.

Sudo didn’t really exist back then, you ran things as root like real men. /s

True, but var and let are not same in js, so there is three.

if(true) {

var a = "dumdum"

}

console.log(a)

Is valid and functioning javascript. With let it is not.

C# has const string a = “Hello, World”;

var in js is legacy, and default should be let, but changing that would break everything

Good, almost all of them were horrible, like AIX.
