Regarding the pfSense random reboots - I've encountered these a few times before. Most of my issues were usually due to some hardware fault or the other (since it was mostly older devices being reused for firewall duties). As it is a pretty good platform (and if you want to give pf a second...

At one point I would've called bull as well, but Gomar is about half right :o. There's a flood of workers from all over the world, particularly parts of Europe and India that makes the general market super competitive. Since they're typically willing to do a ton of work for a lot less. the...

Valnar, I'm sorry to hear about that. Sometimes these things happen and it sucks :(. I recently resigned due to a takeover at my office as well (but, it wasn't a corporate-takeover, more of an idiot-takeover). Being unemployment is a drag but I've started working freelance until something...

I haven't tried out Sublime as yet so I can't give you a preference between those two. Though, from all the recommendations I've seen from devs for Sublime, it seems to be well worth an install to check out thoroughly. Note that my use of these tools is more for hobbies/study than...

I've started using Atom recently (as an upgrade from Notepad++) and it doesn't seem too bad. The Google Analytics option can be disabled by uninstalling the "metrics package": https://atom.io/packages/metrics

+1 Yes, literally - a ménage à quatre. :p My resolutions this year are to: Formally dedicate some time to my backlog of hobbies/DIY projects Take a sabbatical and go somewhere far away from the office.

Death by number puzzles? Count on the Japanese to make suicide such a complex ritual. :p

Jake - Thanks for the feedback. As my network was mostly for internal testing, any thought I gave to setting up a DMZ fell to the wayside. But you're right, it is good practice. I'll give a look into formally setting it up. As for the WAF - ModSecurity is actually included with the stack but...

Hey guys, I've been using an internal Redmine server for quite some time now. It's the stack available from Bitnami running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (on Hyper-V). I've recently thought of making this server accessible to some of my colleagues for use in research projects/collaboration over the...

Stop it! You're making way too much sense. ;) I remember memorizing the Remington manual that my dad had, and being lectured from him on firearm safety - before even being allowed to pick up a cleared weapon... And every time I see an article like this, I understand why.

My thoughts exactly. :D I just find it so disturbing the lengths these agencies go to now. Privacy? Oversight? What do these words mean? :o

A year will go very quickly - and I thankfully only have about two 2003 boxes left. Of course, corporate will probably approve my 2014 upgrade budget in 2018. :rolleyes:

Uh.... Isn't there at least two or three pages of comments before you post something like this Skribbel? :p

Bitcoins are disruptive to the economy? I'm pretty sure that some of these senators probably cause more damage through their blatant incompetence and greed. :o I lol'd. :p
