Something I’m not seeing here is many people in the cyber and info security spaces will have a homelab capable of complex configurations in order to mimic enterprise environments for their research.
This could be as simple as a single VM or as complex as multiple segregated networks to try to traverse.
I think the difference between Stewart and Ford is that Stewart seems more to be doing it because he enjoys this character. Ford seems to be doing it in spite of his feelings.
As long as Stewart is still having fun, I’m happy with him continuing as long as he wants.
My feelings on the matter are generally that I’m not sure leaving him off the primary ballots before he’s convicted is the most responsible course of action.
One of the biggest arguments that his supporters lean on is that he’s being treated unfairly. Now, I disagree with them and believe that having gone through a Grand Jury is sufficient to move to indict. But many people don’t actually know what a Grand jury is. My dad, for example, thought the Grand Jury in this case was just a collection of left leaning lawyers looking to hack at Trump’s credibility rather than a random group of people called to form a panel for prosecutors to show evidence to prior to indictment.
If we assume that most of his supporters have a similar understanding to my dad, then the only thing we are doing is boosting their feelings that Trump is being treated unfairly by moving to remove him from primary ballots before his trials resolve.
We should instead be trying to focus energy as a country to move the relevant trials forward to ensure they resolve before the general election and remove him from that ballot if he’s convicted. Then we should also allow Republicans the ability to replace him on the ballot if necessary.
I’ve never heard of any of the brands that come up so I can’t recommend any of them. I just searched for “RJ45 90 degree adapter” and found a number of options.
No experience with them, myself. Just a quick look and I found CAT-6 cables with a 90 degree connector, a 90 degree male to female adapter, and a 90 degree adapter that has a short cable to move the female connection so that is easier to reach.
I’d get all 3 styles and try them out separately to see if there is any performance impact. I can’t imagine any significant impact on performance occurring but it’s worth double checking. The biggest issue I can see is just build quality of the part.
Statements like that are why I tend to follow the idea that any government service should be provided to every citizen equally without exception.
We spend so much money in the US trying to make sure only the “correct” people are receiving things like welfare or Medicaid. If we just dropped the restrictions we’d likely be fairly close to being able to afford covering everybody with those programs.
