"Meta (Facebook’s owner) now advises against sharing links as posts on your Facebook page. Instead, you should first create a post about the link you’re going to share and then share the actual link in the post’s comments. (Elon Musk offered similar advice to X users last year.)"

Today, I am running IPv6 on my home network and I’m not having problems, just like every day for the past fifteen years. It’s not hard.

Cloudflare Tunnel to internal resource

or

NGINX reverse proxy?

Anyone know how to get Comcast Business to assign a reverse DNS (PTR) entry to one of your organization's static IP addresses? I've now spent an hour or more on the phone with support and they still haven't done it (despite escalating it up to "advanced support" - then summarily closing the ticket). In the distant past, I remember making this request via email, but I can't find any way to do that now (since I'm again forced to deal with #Comcast).

Addendum: after opening a new ticket and pleading with the phone support rep, they escalated it and it got done. Still wish I could just email (I couldn't even see a way to open a new support request online).

Heading to Atlanta from Seattle this morning. Then I'll drive a bit north and check in to my hotel. Sunday is R&R, then I'll spend all next week working for a public utility.

Hey, public utilities - I'm scheduling next year already, so contact me anytime now.

New social who dis, so I may as well type up an #introduction. I’m an #IT #manager who cut his teeth doing #networkEngineering, #infrastructureEngineering, #SRE, and #infosec . I love #cars, #autocross, #bikes, #design, #baseball - #mariners and #orioles, #fitness, #travel, and #parenting.

I don’t love that we’re expected to advertise our politics, but I’m pretty left. Be decent to each other.

Here to talk with interesting folks, make some dumb jokes, and learn.

to celebrate my being on an instance that allows decent video uploads, here’s a rant i made about annoying sexist tiktok comments #networkengineering #womenintech

Hello, world. Migrating my one-day-old account from a larger instance. Here's my #introduction.

I've been in the #IT and #NetworkEngineering industry for 15 years. By day I manage network engineering teams for a large #cloud provider located in #Seattle. My fiancé and I recently became parents to a hilarious little boy, and we have an amazing black lab.

I love learning new things. I have a #HomeLab which I use to experiment with #technology that I don't typically touch at work. I am constantly interested with #data, #metrics, #networking, #python, and tech writing.

Outside of work I love #pickleball, #gaming, #travel, #photography, and walks with the fam.

Hi, I’m tylxr! I’m a #leftist tech worker based in #Maine. I consider myself to be a jack-of-all-trades. I’m interested and/or involved in #tech #videogames #programming #NetworkEngineering #netsec #sysadmin #webdev #photography #politics (personally #AnCom ) #retrotech #3dprinting #firearms #audiophile #mechanicalkeyboards #cooking #amateurradio and way too much more! Following back

#introduction

I left a long career and the #CISO role at a large university to lead #InfoSec and #NetworkEngineering at a small threat intelligence firm. Excitement, adventure, and really wild things have ensued.

To relax from all that, I enjoy #brewing & judging #beer, #bicycling, and #music, especially #ProgressiveRock. I'll likely be posting a lot on all these topics (unless Metatext implements unified timelines for multiple accounts ). I'll try to remember to tag appropriately!
