He got booted from Disney and no one ever talked to him again. Apparently, mickey mouse is sacred there. Like, really sacred. You don't invoke his name.
I can imagine, Disney has a storied reputation for shadyness. Walt Disney himself made Donald Trump look politically correct
I'm still pissed off at disney for runing my favorite movie ever, the Aristocats (of course), by inserting a racist siamese cat in the best song ever, everyone wants to be a cat.
@Herringbone_Cat The worst for me was getting it caught under my shoulder when I was sleeping, and so when I'd try to turn my head, I'd find that I couldn't, because I had pinned myself.
Hey guys, do you think if I setup an RT N66U as a dedicated OpenVPN router with Merlin, it would be able to handle a two user situation? As in my wife and I use a connection to that router to stay secure in public wifi?
@VianEsterhuizen Generally routing things through a home internet connection will be painfully slow. Does the router advertise its maximum IPSec throughput?
@Herringbone_Cat Hmm, I have no idea but I guess it sounds like I should set up a VPN somewhere externally? The internet speeds at home are 60 Mbps up and 3 Mbps down
@VianEsterhuizen I think you mean 60 down and 3 mbps up? In which case, it will be very slow for your remote connection (3mbps max) since that is your bottleneck. Yes, using a VPN provider or making a cloud server into a VPN concentrator will result in better reliablility and speed.
@VianEsterhuizen Dreamhost is a web hosting provider for web sites. IN the same vein, there are VPN providers for VPNs, which is what you are looking for. You can also using your own AWS/Azure/etc server, setup whatever you want.
/me does not endorse any VPN or cloud provider because they will all have issues that will be blamed on me
@DavidFreitag in most cases of using a VPN it completely changes the network "location" you are on from the network you were on to the new network I.E. from your home network to your work network
What VPN provider are you using? I've been using PIA and been pretty happy with it. Just been curious if I can set up a personal one for cheaper. @DavidFreitag
@VianEsterhuizen Think of it like this. Would you run a webserver from your home internet connection for your personal website? How about personal e-mail server? Would that result in a lot of emails not coming through when your internet was down/having issues/power out etc?
@VianEsterhuizen I mean which government agency do you work for that thinks it's a good idea to randomly wander into a chat room full of internet security "experts" (lol) and ask what VPN providers we use?
I may become a regular. I've been looking into all these penetration "testing" platforms out there and didn't realize how vulnerable I was all the time
@VianEsterhuizen Never trust any device supplied to you by an ISP. Stupid things like default passwords, backdoors etc are nearly ominpresent. They care about how easy it is for them to get into it, not your security.
I've got a 2GBPs fiber wave coming into my office here. The ISP put their switch on the internet and was getting constantly hammered by bots trying to brute force it. They noticed when I called support and asked about an issue.. they said "have you been trying to log in from this IP?" and I replied no, but that IP is in China...
So yeah, these dudes exposed their Cisco management interface to the internet and had no brute force protection. Dealing with huge construction, fiber optic, cages at datacenters..the works..still making rookie mistakes
@Herringbone_Cat Yeah, I knew that too. I changed everything of mine after install but I've also been looking around for a modem. I currently have an AC66U as router.
@Flyk I was just explaining how to me a nerd is just someone who is very passionate about a specific topic. You have photography nerds, web development nerds, board game nerds. What it really boils down to for me is those people are passionate about that certain topic and therefore become very knowledgeable about it.
