VLANs and least privilege access. Everytime I see this is the same thing, everyone hates on automation. Just do it right. If you need to sign up for something use a alias and different domain. Username+4@throwawaydomain.com for that annoying Philips hue login.

Have different wireless SSIDs setup for each purpose on different vlans.

Personal/home SSID

Guest SSID

Work SSID

Automation SSID

Use port security to stop automation and Guest SSID/VLAN from accessing places it shouldn’t.

Easier to launder money and have illicit money activities through crypto than fossil fuels

Do we know if these increased metal tariffs go live now or in April?

According to this article Wednesday is the day

Is it always the same discord server? I got the message the other day but ignored it.

I 100% agree with the sentiment. But if this is the same missile strike I read about earlier no Americans died in this attack, they managed to get to safety in time. Just want people to be aware of that fact.

Do I think this will eventually lead to American deaths and trump having more American blood on his hands yes.

Then you are doing work from home right

Since when did you need to be thanked for doing the rift thing?

I work in tech and I have a smart home w/ lights, switches, appliances and a controller. They are all on their own automation vlan that will never touch my home network. Sure “someone” is listening and can “hack” some of it. On the small, miniscule chance that happens I will deal with it. Until then the convenience is life changing.

That first article quotes Obama trying to close it. From the sounds of it congress attached keeping the base open as a rider to another defense funding bill. That’s a common tactic I think

And what would have happened if he did it sooner? They would have kept stalling out out? I believe no matter when he did it out would have needed approval

And what they said RECENTLY too. They were not dredging up tweets from 40 years ago. If memory serves these tweets were within the year.

I couldn’t care less about people respecting me. But why are they stupid comparisons in your opinion?

Getting a tad childish?

Yes, yes they do denounce seperating kids from their families at the border. I’ve talked about it and other things we don’t like about our parties, what they are doing, and why we still vote for them. How we all dislike choosing the best of two bad options. How maybe a ranked choice system would be better.

You think blindly following one party vs another is any better? No, you think you on your high horse telling them they are scum for voting one way or another is better? How many life long Republicans have you gotten to vote blue? I’ve changed several peoples minds by talking with them, hearing them out, and not just assuming they are terrible people.

I hear you, but not all Republicans support that. Are you a democrat, Do you support the genocide in Gaza? Are you independent? Then do you not care about either Gaza or kids being detained? Are you a different party? Do you agree with everything your pay does?

I also get everyone has something that will cause them to not be friends with people. That’s your choice and I’m not saying you have to be friends with people. Just don’t be a hypocrite and pick one, two, or five things and hate an entire group of people because of it.

I hate 30% of what Christians have done or stand for. It doesn’t mean I hate all Christians. But that is a choice that I have made.

I believe you are missing the point by latching on to one sentence and replying to that instead of the concept.

You are as wrong about them all being bad as they are saying all democrats are bad.

I mean, that’s just how people decide on who to be friends with right? I’m more likely to be friends with people that like camping and bonfires than people that like formula one. Do I have friends that like formula one? Sure.

I’m more likely to be friends with democrats but I do have a couple of republican friends.

I don’t understand this statement. Are your only friends people you agree with 100% on all things? That must get boring, what do you even talk about?

I have friends that voted for Trump. Not many but a couple. Am I friends with all Republicans? No just like I’m not friends with all democrats.

In order to radicalize someone, one of the first steps is cutting them off from people that disagree with what you are trying to teach/preach/say. When you pre emptivly do their cutting of for these republican friends/ family you are just leaving them in an echo chamber of hate/racism. Believe it out not, like what some others have said, not all republican voters are bad people.

I would take a look at your default apps. Check the ‘mail’ app and make sure it’s set to outlook and not the builtin mail app. If it isn’t outlook, set it to outlook and restart your computer then try sending from excel again.

I want to be on this team. You all sound smart, and less likely to eat me then the guy that said they probably won’t.

I’ll take care of the server infrastructure for the app/data aggregation

Ahahahaha, I typed up this whole reply but realized their was no point in having a good faith discussion with someone this delusional. So I’m just going to thank you for the laugh.
