Always a good time to remind everyone that the FBI (rightly) recommends the use of ad blockers for security purposes while browsing the Internet:
https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221
Use an ad blocking extension when performing internet searches. Most internet browsers allow a user to add extensions, including extensions that block advertisements. These ad blockers can be turned on and off within a browser to permit advertisements on certain websites while blocking advertisements on others.

Well, hopefully here or on one of the other /c/Sysadmin subs I've setup on the various large Lemmy servers. :)

The 8bitdo Pro 2 has two haptic/rumble motors in the handles. They're nothing fancy but do the job. I'd definitely recommend the controller in every other aspect though, it's my go-to gamepad.

Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn't care for. Ah well. I don't blame them of course, but reddit isn't something I'm going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.

Lemmy's "block" is essentially a "mute" function, too. It makes it so that you don't see any more content from a user, but they can still make comments on your stuff.

Officially Lemmy just calls them "communities", but I figure that you can call them "subs" because you subscribe to them.

On Lemmy, if a community on another server doesn't appear when you search for it, you can use the syntax "!communityname@server.name". Your login Lemmy server will then go out and index it and it will appear in the search a few moments later.
Is there a way to do that on kbin? I've tried every syntax for a Lemmy community that I know of and nothing seems to work.
!communityname@server.name
/c/communityname@server.name
server.name/c/communityname
@communityname@server.name
etc.

Just curious as to what everyone's using for MFA in their environments. Duo? Microsoft Authenticator? Okta? A jumble of different solutions depending on which system needed to be covered at the time and with no additional budget?
www.techrepublic.com
> Duo uses push notifications, time-based, one-time passwords, physical tokens and biometrics to verify the identity of users at login. Similarly, Microsoft Authenticator uses push notifications, one-time passcodes, and biometrics for authentication and can integrate with Microsoft 365 and Azure Active Directory. While both 2FA options share some similarities, there are still key differences that can sway your decision to choose one over the other.

It's infuriating that we're letting these christo-fascists determine how the rest of us are allowed to live our lives. I wonder what it will take for us to reach that "Have you no sense of decency?" moment with them. But of course they don't, because that would require a conscience.

Now I know that we're at meme status when it comes to expired temp tags, but this seems a bit much. Where's the victim in that crime? Does it really warrant stealing someone's car from them? If the person couldn't afford the taxes in the first place, how do they expect them to afford to get it out of the impound and pay the taxes, when they can't drive to work? I suppose the answer is that they don't, and they just like ruining lives.
I wonder, will it change anything now that dealerships are required to collect taxes at time of sale? I guess that still won't affect personal sales.

Wondering if anyone's worked with the new Mist AI integration stuff or have seen it in action. Is it some kind of next-level convenience, or just more GUI / UX hype?
> Juniper Networks takes on complex legacy network access control (NAC), introducing its own cloud-based, Mist AI-driven solution. It also enhanced its Marvis virtual network assistant (VNA) with the ChatGPT integration. > Traditional NAC services built using on-premises overlay hardware are often complex and brittle to deploy, operate and authenticate the devices, while lacking agility and ability to scale, noted Christian Gilby, senior director of product marketing at Juniper Networks. > Juniper’s Mist Access Assurance service is built on the technologies from its WiteSand acquisition. The networking vendor bought the cloud-native, zero-trust NAC startup last year and integrated the technology into its Mist portfolio in a bid to compete against Cisco’s Identity Services Engine and Aruba Networks’ Clearpass NACs.

Just curious if there's anyone here that works in this space and can speak to this. How goes the pursuit of 1T+ speeds?
> For the last 30 years, modern society has depended on data center networks. Networking speeds must continue to increase to keep up with the demand caused by emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles (AVs) and artificial intelligence (AI). Further innovation in high-speed data will enable 800 gigabits per second (800G) and 1.6 terabits per second (1.6T) network speeds.

Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do... nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it's done for the past several years.
Then again, I'm defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don't show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.
