I know this isn’t what you’re looking for, but I got a family plan from Google for music and split it with 6 family members, which is probably the same as apple music I assume.

I don’t have to mess with download anymore.

Lidarr is only one I know.

Is that a pickup line? Lol

I have the older Sophos utm, which doesn’t use the Sophos cloud central manager.

I think their new firewall utm can work disconnected, but I don’t know.

Sophos has a home use license that’s free for non business use.

I love companies that do community edition or free home use.

Sophos, Veeam has nfr, Elastiflow has community edition, which is a netflow.

Sorry for confusion. I use Sophos utm as a WAF for exchange. Basically reverse proxy that is specifically programmed for exchange attacks. It allows OWA to keep working.

I put the exchange admin URL behind authentication, so you try to go to /ecp, it Sophos intercepts and make you authenticate to Sophos utm first, which is passing to ad with radius.

MS got rid of intune on prem. It’s only Azure service now. I think.

My router is my biggest vuln. Oddly the most important. It’s an enterprise ISR. It’s updated as far as possible. My paranoia ends with the US gov/NSA. I don’t care if they want back door oddly. I don’t want China using me for attack relay however.

Loads of monitoring. You do a span/mirror port to your IDS like security Onion. Let it analyze all your traffic. Apparently there are some state sponsored exploits that allow them to owe a router at kernel level and hide their activities from you and monitoring, but that’s a level I can’t deal with.

As far as lock out, you create a break glass on everything. Emergency account with non rememberable ridiculous password, saved in a safe place.

What about Islamic religion? Are they bigots? There’s a proper way to beat your wife constructively and lovingly.

Are they bigots?

They don’t like community people either. I think they kill them? I watched a video of a group of them cutting the heads off two guys over bigot views.

Would rather have mild Republican bigotry then murder I guess.

I’m curious though if that’s all of them, or some of them? All one political party,.or some?

One of my senators supported the marriage act and voted for it, the other didn’t. I don’t know them personally, but at least one was for it.

I’m not sure if he hates an entire group of people or not. I don’t like that they won’t just support it, treat people as the same, and get the whole thing put to bed.

I’d love to support a different senator who had proper values about this specific topic, but didn’t also contrast with other topics.

Why does this matter? Do you think my voting decision affects over generalizing a whole group?

Clearly there is division amount that party where some are not bogits.

Sometimes things aren’t all or nothing.

1. Exchange on prem 😳
2. Both mdm,.Ms intune, and just installing the root cert manually in trusted store. You don’t have to root Android for that. It presents some warnings, appropriate.
3. My Sophos is self contained. It does radius against active directory. It wants IPS and other updates though.

I guess the firmware is as good as possible. All network devices are just computers and can be exploited. I use a Cisco router as my actual gateway. Sophos is inline after that.

Privacy. 🤔

Not much. I have certain traffic go through a VPN to the Internet, but that’s split tunneled.

I use incognito? That doesn’t really do anything, ha.

I’m slowly killing web browser tracking and cookie stuff that group policy allows.

Your attitude is poor, or at least your assumption is inaccurate. I understand you want me to admit I haven’t personally voted for a politician based on their stance regarding that issue. Why? If I haven’t personally voted for someone because they supported that topic, then I hate people and am an bigot?

I did read it. The point was that there were a lot more supporters in the party, meaning they don’t all hate a group of people based on bigotry. Some at least try, that’s better than rounding them all up in camps as fascist governments might do to a group they want to exterminate.

I’m limited to the people I’m presented with.

Low effort research:

That’s one reason why as co-chair of Conservatives Against Discrimination, I teamed up with Centerline Action to conduct research and mobilize Republican members of Congress last year to support the passage of the RMA. Recent research from Centerline has found that nearly three-fourths (72 percent) of registered voters agree that same-sex marriage should remain legal, with a majority (56 percent) of Republicans saying the same. More than half (55 percent) of self-described Trump Republicans believe the same. Further, two-thirds (66 percent) of voters say the government should be doing more “to combat discrimination against gay and transgender Americans.”

I guess we could look up the vote results from 2022.

Sorry, lastly:

This conversation being geared towards: (why vote for some things aligned with republican?) also omits all the things that would likely align with American democratic party, and personal beliefs and opinions that expand on why. Those things reveal life experience, compassion, empathy, compromise, etc. None of that is represented in a single what do you agree with exchange. Making the whole thing relate back to why a republican lady doesn’t like trump. It’s also why I don’t judge people soley on which button they push (d/r).

bigoted Republican position on LGBT+ people, which makes me think you agree with it.

and absolutely not.

Trans people need to be oppressed as do other LGBT+ people?

Yeah, that one’s tough. Most of the conservative people I’ve heard in real life (not the villains on TV) range from indifferent to disapproving. They don’t understand why all the noise and want people to be quiet and go away. One person’s freedom fighter is another’s terrorist on this one. I wouldn’t support policies that limit medical care, ownership, etc based on relationship status. I very much believe most conversative or rightish people that have harsh opinions of the trans issue have never met or had a real relationship with someone who struggled with identify, medal health, etc.

Some are bigots for sure, cake lady comes to mind. Again, if every person ever who claims republican is a community hating bigot, then every (minority/non-white) is a (stereotype/criminal/inflammatory statement).

Well, I guess we are in disagreement. - Kevin/Brooklyn 99

It’s already illegal. How much more conservative can you get? If this is a reason to vote Republican, you must want to arrest women who have miscarriages just in case. Generally not a reason to vote Republican anymore.

That’s a terrible assumption of my stance on abortion. Keeping this super easy, I just don’t like it. One party is against it, one is for it.

Republicans don’t. They just killed their own border bill. Not a reason to vote Republican.

Yeah, in this election, terrible political moves for party shenanigans over the general good. But surprise. Generally, the two parties won’t compromise and fix immigration, so one tries to bypass the issue by not preventing crossing. The other tries to avoid fixing it by putting up a fence. The lesser of two evils for me until the policy gets fixed is a fence. Sorry. Like I said, I want immigration fixed, but until then…

“aid Russia and Israel as much as possible”

I assume you mean Ukraine? I want Ukraine supported, Rs did that until they got pissed about all the money/long. Not sure about Israel/Pal. Long term bad stuff over there I don’t fully understand. I don’t support mass killings of people in the streets, bombings, rockets, bulldozing people’s houses, etc. That statement says I don’t support either group since they’ve both been doing those things from what I can tell. Each’s reasons why gets at the root causes, much bigger discussion.

There’s more to it than those two recent conflict.

You mean the thing you’ve already had to do my entire 20+ years of voting in the U.S.? Not a reason to vote Republican.

Well, that’s why I disagree with any political initiative to frame that as discrimination. It’s not. Otherwise, driving, buying alcohol, renting cars, etc is also all discrimination because you have to have a driver’s license. Some localities have worked to allow non-residents to vote. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Republicans want zero controls. Zero. Not a reason to vote Republican.

Disagree. I think you missed the part about I disagree with eliminating guns as the main initiative. I would be more sided with the D party on guns if they would stop talking about banning assault riffles as one of the main fixes.

As far as I can tell, you have not given a single good reason to vote Republican.

Reason for you I guess. So far, you haven’t given me any reason to think that every person who votes for that party is a fascist, hates women, hates poor people, etc.

Your working environment sounds gross :)

IT is hard. Finding good IT people is harder in my opinion. Working for a company that is not super squared away with good security and great usability sucks. At least you found some work arounds and are trying to do it well.

Ha, probably. It’s fun to learn stuff though.

Working in this field, almost every company has been beached, IP stolen, etc.

Sometimes your home IP gets hit in an automated scan for a vulnerability and then auto exploited by automation. I’m hoping not to get random chance added to a botnet.

Calm down mr sarcasm. I’m using some break time just for this.

So why do you vote for them?

If I vote any republican stuffs, it usually because of these big or little issues:

• I usually align more with higher defense spending and certain military usage.
• I’m pretty conservative regarding abortion
• I support highest border security (which is not the same thing to me as immigration)
• I usually align more to republican foreign policy
• I want you to prove you’re a citizen and have the right to vote in US elections
• My views on gun control. I want more controls, but not banning guns by type.
• I dislike the Russian invasion, but there’s flipping on that.
• I dislike mandated diversity stuff. (Oh God, here we go. That doesn’t mean I don’t believe there’s a problem with bias and such, I just don’t think that fixes it. If it would have, it should be fixed by now. Also, I believe all people are the same/equal/human, so don’t start down that road)

In some of these cases, I barely lean republican aligned. Or, I just disagree more with the Democratic parties view point/solution. That’s why I don’t have party affiliations. Me and trump aren’t the same. I can’t vote for any US presidential candidates this time, because I think they’re both wrong. I have an extremely negative view of trump, I’ll spare everyone. I don’t want Biden either. I have lots of reasons for both of those I don’t think people care about.

Also laughing because that’s how some companies get owned, IP stolen, etc.

There has to be balance, if your life using their system sucks so hard you can’t do your job or meet production marks, you get creative.

My industry has to prioritize security over productivity. It’s almost impossible to get work done.

Ha yeah.

Id say the same for trellix.

You should try doing things with installs or updating apps when the edr product blocks write access to all temp locations. You have to do an exclusion for every installer, signing cert, or turn it off to install programs.
