The more open ports, the larger the attack surface.
That’s all.
And today with the script kiddies out there, port scans happen all the time.
I’ve had a consumer router become almost useless from all the attempted connections on an open port someone found that I had up for a week.
Months later I’d still get hits on that port though it had been closed.
Yea, Tailscale would work even if the router was fully reset.
And durability.
Without a secondary internet connection this isn’t possible.
The router is the connection - its the gateway (a term we don’t hear much these days).
You could setup an independent connection via a cell modem - becoming a secondary connection. This is common for remote locations or even small businesses that need a failover just for management.
You could even have it on a single machine and have a vpn there. Then you could RDP/VNC to that one machine and manage things from there. I’ve done the VPN this way with Tailscale. One machine has it (I’ve even done it with a Raspberry Pi), then you can RDP/VNC to other machines from there.
But there’s not much I could see you doing if the gateway is down anyway.
Oh, ffs
Its not “targeted at old school”, it’s an open, extensible protocol.
If devs focused on extending the protocol instead of building an app to handle things like this, it could do it, everywhere.
There are currently over 100 extensions.
I never once heard “an old person” (whatever that means) mis-pronounce “meme”.
And I’ve been around long enough as an adult to pre-date common usage of the term as its known today.
Why would they?
Oswald never shot anyone - he couldn’t have.
Intriguing all around!
PWA app only is a big no sale.
As much as I dislike dedicated apps for things that don’t need it, THIS is something that needs it.
Still staggering to me that XMPP isn’t the default, since it was used in many chat apps in the late 90’s.
Shit happens in manufacturing.
Some day you should tour both a really modern facility and a very old one (I’ve done work in both).
Sometimes damaged stuff slips through, nothing more.
Contact them via the info on the tube. I’ve never had anything but a good response when doing so, the QA Dept and maintenance want to know when the system drops the ball so they can improve it.
About 40 years
What LibertyLizard said, plus there are many other ways of gathering the same data.
Exactly.
Doctors can be some of the most unscientific people you meet.
They repeatedly apply population level statistics for positive benefits of medications, but don’t do the same for the risks.
Which is wrong from the word go.
One and the same.
It only goes in your canal a small amount. The instructions are really good.
And like you I tested it first.
Thanks for the correction - bunch of numbers in my head and I grabbed the first one, haha.
I have pages of notes about how to convert different types of videos with accompanying scripts for ffmpeg, so I don’t really have to think about it anymore.
Even without a VPS Tailscale will work fine after the router resets.
