  • Die Erinnerung wer und warum in Deutschland z.b. die Krankenkasse eingeführt hat ist eine historische Lektion die viele der modernen konservativen wohl im Unterricht verschlafen haben. Das zeichnet sich bei anderen Sozialleistungen nicht sonderlich anders ab, die haben meines Wissens nach alle einen ähnlichen Ursprung als Unruheverhinderungsmaßnahmen.

    Wie die Römer schon zu sagen wussten: Brot und Spiele. Es scheint nur, dass die (globale) Obrigkeit mal wieder nicht registriert wie wenig Brot ausgeteilt wird.


  • Ah ja, lass erstmal den Sozialstaat abschaffen, was könnte denn schief gehen /s.

    Hatte die Diskusion erst neulich in der Familie, es wurde die Meinung vertreten es wäre doch so einfach die Schmarotzer von den Leistungen auszuschließen. Ein paar Minuten und die Benennung diverser Ausnahmesituationen später kam dann die Einsicht, dass man entweder eine gewisse Rate Schmarotzer akzeptieren muss oder dazu bereit ist wirklich Hilfsbedürftige unter den Bus zu schmeißen.

    Ah und zu viel verdienen würden die ja auch, sollten ja eher alle auf dem Zahnfleisch nagen wenn sie unverschuldet in die Langzeitarbeitlosigkeit geraten. An der Stelle muss ich sagen richten die diversen “Hartz IV” Sendungen enormen Schaden an, indem sie flächendeckend Sozialhilfeempfänger als Sozialschmarotzer darstellen. Das verankert sich enorm bei den Leuten die solche Sendungen dann der Unterhaltung halber anschauen, selbst wenn sie meinen sich der verzerrten Darstellung bewusst zu sein.

    I somewhat disagree that you have to be a data hoarder for 10G to be worth it. For example I’ve got a headless steam client on my server that has my larger games installed (all in all ~2TB so not in data hoarder territories) which allows me to install and update those games at ~8 Gbit/s. Which in turn allows me to run a leaner Desktop PC since I can just uninstall the larger games as soon as I don’t play them daily anymore and saves me time when Steam inevitably fails to auto update a game on my Desktop before I want to play it.

    Arguably a niche use case but it exists along side other such niche use cases. So if someone comes into this community and asks about how best to implement 10G networking I will assume they (at least think) have such a use case on their hands and want to improve that situation a bit.


  • Personally going 10G on my networking stuff has significantly improved my experience with self-hosting, especially when it comes to file transfers. 1G can just be extremely slow when you’re dealing with large amounts of data so I also don’t really understand why people recommend against 10G here of all places.

    If I buy a switch and that thing decides to give me downtime in order to auto update I can tell you what lands on my blacklist. Auto-Updates absoultely increase security but there are certain use cases where they are more of a hindrance than a feature, want proof? Not even Cisco does Auto-Update by default (from what I’ve managed to find in this short time neither does TrendNet which you’ve been speaking well of). The device on its own deciding to just fuck off and pull down your network is not in any way a feature their customers would want. If you don’t want the (slight) maintenance load that comes with an active switch do not get one, get a passive one instead.

    So first of all I see no point in sharing multiple articles that contain the same copy-pasted info, one of those would have been enough. That aside, again, patches were made available before the vulnerability was published and things like MikroTik not pushing Updates being arguably more of a feature since automatic updates cause network downtime via a reboot and that would be somewhat problematic for networking equipment. Could they have handled that better? Yes, you can almost always handle vulnerabilities better but their handling of it was not so eggregious as to warrant completely avoiding them in the future.

    Can you elaborate on how their response was lacking? From what I found the stable branch had a patch for that vulnerability available for several months before the first report while the lts branch had one available a week before the first article (arguably a brief period to wait before releasing news about the vulnerability but not unheard of either).

    MikroTik also offers a 2 year warranty since they legally have to, no idea what you’re on about there. Also also not sure what you think they sell other than networking because for the life of me I can’t find anything other than networking related stuff on their website.
