Im done with reddit! Will try and be more active here posting info and answering questions.

LimePengiun , in Microsoft rebrands Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID

Microsoft needs to focus on finishing preview features and improving stability instead of rebranding and rearranging admin portals… I’m checking the M365 and Azure health dashboard for issues almost daily now!

I don’t care about Reddit; they are just going to profit from our data. Delete your posts if you want to. The collective knowledge/wisdom is within the community and if we all move to Lemmy, that knowledge comes with us.

This is informative, and unfortunate.

Maybe we could do blog post days?

I like the idea of seeing a decent amount of content, but fear that it could lead to too many blog posts if left unchecked.

I agree with this. Would be totally up for seeing this sort of content on here, just as long as it didn’t flood the feed.

I’m not sure if/when tagging/flair will be added to Lemmy, but it would be useful for filtering out types of content posted to communities.

If it’s your own, I don’t think it’s a problem unless it’s bland self-promotion (looking at you, adamtheautomator). As long as it’s spaced out enough that you’re not flooding people’s feeds.

If it’s sharing other people’s content, I don’t think it matters, again unless you’re flooding the feed.

MigratingtoLemmy ,

To be fair, adatheautomator’s blogs have helped me a fair bit for PowerShell

I think its fine if its not spammy and it provides some value information/insight.

That’s neat! Would come in handy for situations like when that Silk Road guy got rushed by the feds 😂

MNByChoice ,

Just my thinking. Of course, the Feds had inside information and would likely have used a different tactic.

Great for stopping random laptop thiefs from getting your data when you are working on a coffee shop.

LOL! Remind me again how proprietary hardware and software is more secure than open source? Insecurity through obscurity.

SheeEttin ,

It’s not, but that’s not to say that open source software is any more secure just by virtue of being open source. Software needs auditing either way.

I don’t have a problem with it. I have a problem when it becomes spammy. Overall it’s neat to see things that people are working on and problems they’re solving. A lot of times it gives me ideas for how to solve other problems or fun things to setup in my lab

Man, 7.0 has been a hot mess with their WAD. I haven’t upgraded any customer off 6.4 yet. I think I will skip 7.0 and jump straight to 7.2.

defensor_fortis ,

There’s been issues with the WAD process using up memory until the unit goes into conserve mode since I was on 6.0.6. I started running a script to restart the process twice daily and have never had a problem since. I just upgraded from 6.4.13 to 7.0.12 a few weeks ago and I’ve left the script to run on every upgrade since 6.0.6. I’ve never disabled it to see if I don’t need it any longer, maybe I should.

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">config system auto-script
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    edit "restart_wad"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        set interval 43200
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        set repeat 360
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        set start auto
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        set script "diag test app wad 99"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    next
</span><span style="color:#323232;">end
</span>

I’m in favor of it. Not sure if Lemmy has a sidebar like Reddit but it would be fun to Index the blog posts that are posted in the sidebar ad kinda a home grown directory. Whenever a blog is posted it’s super hit or miss with me but that’s due to being in the industry over 20 years. What’s old is new or something. I still appreciate seeing the posts.

Don’t worry, Reddit are restoring comments and posts anyway.

I like the hyperbole and all, but can you at least include the critical information? Literally just patch:

The flaw impacts the following FortiOS versions:

  • FortiOS version 7.2.0 through 7.2.3
  • FortiOS version 7.0.0 through 7.0.10
  • FortiProxy version 7.2.0 through 7.2.2
  • FortiProxy version 7.0.0 through 7.0.9

For those unfamiliar, anyone who is patching is already good. The previous two patches fixed this issue, and you should already be patched past this point to mitigate the June 9.8.
