Is this Kelsey grammar?

“It’s important to have a job that makes a difference, boys. That’s why I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination.”

In a real debate the judges actually keep score based on logical arguments and good examples, typically what’s called matter, manner, and method. This was political theater or maybe a skills test, but not a debate. And pretty much always was for as long as I can remember.

Yeah I like a lot of Mel Gibson’s movie even though he turned out to be an antisemitic douchebag. I’ll watch them but I won’t pay to watch them.

Dilbert struck a chord with my IT friends and me but yes his politics are a complete meet of mental gymnastics.

I hate Java with the white hot passion of a thousand suns. It is baked into so many admin tools for hardware (Dell, Cisco, etc) and trying to connect to older hardware that requires a security model that isn’t supported anymore or has expired certs that are never getting updated is a giant pain in the ass. Run anywhere my ass. I have to keep special VMs with just the right version of Java and all the necessary tweaks (like having to tell it that certain older encryption methods are ok) to even access some of these tools. I’ve even had to surplus hardware that was perfectly fine accept for the fact I could configure it because of some stupid Java thing. In short Fuck Java with a rusty wire brush.

I’m not bitter at all 🤣

Yeah and it works the other way sometimes too. My wife’s car had one of those flatbed delivery trucks back into her car and just peel the whole driver’s side open like a can opener. I mean it literally looked like wolverine took a single claw down the entire side. I thought for sure they’d total it. But because it had so few miles on it even though it was still an 8 year old car they just fixed it because it was worth more than the 75% cost of repairs limit. I think the total repair bill was like 10k.

Yeah he absolutely does. That took real sacrifice and courage.

Although a little piece of him had to be happy he doesn’t have to deal with that shit anymore. It’s gotta suck.

Whether it’s true or not it has definitely crossed Jon’s mind a time or two I’m sure.

Yeah I’m not sure Jon realizes how instrumental he may have been in saving this country if Kamala does get elected.

I am so glad I wasn’t drinking something when I read that.

There hasn’t been a great track record with recent Star Wars games though… likely due to shitty execution thinking rabid fans won’t care if the game is good.

I remember reading somewhere that pi to only 5 digits can calculate the circumference of the earth within an error of about 50cm. Hell NASA only uses like 15 places I think.

Well it would be obvious. Any decent network tool would be able to filter traffic on a port or type (ICMP, DNS, etc).

“Wonder why this kid has 2.5Gb of DNS traffic last week? That isn’t normal. Maybe we should go check it out”

The trick to staying hidden is to look like noise. And this would not be noise.

This is a very neat tool that I’ve bookmarked for further research. But I think you’re missing the point. He doesn’t need to hide network traffic, he needs a Wifi6 router. Now maybe you could setup a router to go through this service to further obfuscate the traffic but I don’t think this alone solves his purpose.

But I’m very glad you posted it because I love learning about little tricks like this to get around overly restrictive networks.

And when they drink straight from cup, the milkshake slides out in one big clump and it looks like they were center stage in a bukkake show. Now you tell me which looks more gay?

For Christ sakes, fuckers it’s a damn straw. Sticking a tube in your mouth doesn’t make you gay. Eating a banana doesn’t make you gay. Sticking a dick in your mouth does. Well unless he paid you $20. Then it’s just business.

I did this a work one time… sorta the same thing. I installed pfsense VM and left the DHCp server on. I killed the network in our office for about 15 minutes.

Make me look like Mr Clean.

Consequently I have not been to a hair salon in 30 years, a razor in the shower is all I need. Although one day I would like to have the whole hot towel shaved head treatment at a professional barber.

Do you know how many times I have killed my own network at home and I control EVERYTHING!! I’m the only wildcard…. Of course I have ADHD and documentation is not my strong suit 🤣

I work in university IT so I have some experience here. Some schools are better than others but in general providing IT services for students is like trying to wrangle a herd of starving feral cats who are all in heat.

First of all I have never seen 802.1x implemented (Ethernet authentication) in the wild that wasn’t almost immediately removed. It’s a shitty protocol that’s terrible to debug. I totally get why they restrict APs … my god if every student had one it would be a pain. It would be like standing in a crowded room with everyone shouting and you’re trying to pick out one conversation 20 ft away.

My guess is you’re basically in a situation like my son was at ECU. It’s likely not really a university dorm but closely affiliated hence the reason of a third party. Or the central university IT is abysmal and can’t be bothered. Either way the only reason to use 802.1X is because they think it’s more secure, when in fact it’s way more trouble than it’s worth. You can do the same thing by controlling downstream routing or MAC filtering. The ECU “dorm” did that and it wasn’t much better honestly. You had to go into a website to add your MAC address to get access to the WiFi. Firstly how do you do that when your computer can’t talk to anything. Chicken and egg problem. Secondly for the ones who figured out how to do that using your phone, good luck getting a history major to figure what even what a MAC address was.

My suggestion is don’t bother. If they’ve implemented 802.1x they’re a micromanaged IT and will catch you eventually. I’d also guess they have completely overtaxed their egress traffic and your speeds are abysmal.

On a related note, when you graduate never ever rent from an apt complex that generously process WiFi or Ethernet. It will almost always suck, they will have no one to provide adequate tech support, and they are just using it as another revenue stream.

Sorry I don’t have better advice but if they control the network there isn’t really much you can do.

What about the fourth type of person that just chuckles silently when stupid people get what they deserve?
