Zscaler has a hard dependency on systemd on linux
This causes so many issues, any minor change in modules and defaults causes my user's computers to lock up and completely lose internet. A basic local vpn (which is all zscaler is) is trivial to implement without systemd.
By depending on systemd, they are making my life worse as an admin, for no gain.
I don't get the systemd cult.
it's running as a service or daemon right? So you need a system that controls your daemons....
Like a firewall, or any other service.
How's the tunnel know when to come up if something doesn't tell it?

Ran into family friends from childhood while out last night, and all they could talk about is that my dad had a heart attack a few months ago.
My family is downplaying it so much, and it was the first time I got to talk to someone who took it seriously (except my wife), and it was nice.

I have a friend who is being harassed and threatened semi-anonymously via Facebook. She knows *who* it is, but Facebook and Police are characteristically being uselss.
I am kinda useless at this side of deanonymization, but does anyone have advice or resources for deanonymizing enough to get cops to move?

if you can host a file on a site where you can look at the access logs and then post a link to that file, you might be able to bait them into downloading the file which could give you their IP address in the access logs. A whois search for the IP address.could get you their ISP and geolocation information on the IP could get you the general area.
That's a lot of "ifs" and "coulds", though.

from there, if the police still won't do something, it turns to filing court orders to get information from the IP holders about who had the IP at the time of access and harassment.
Good luck.

Any #FreeBSD folk know why the rust compiler might give me
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/../lib/librustc_driver-d829a4d8a572ebe4.so: Undefined symbol "_ZNSt3__122__libcpp_verbose_abortEPKcz"I am worried the problem is my kernel is 13.2 but the rust package claims to be from 13.3? Is this a "just upgrade and stop worrying" situation

@Andy H3 He also does a Last Sea Shanty that I like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw0FZs_J2IE
also some wildly good River Shanties around https://on.soundcloud.com/dWAaRJRCEY7523Jw6
I mostly love the Sea Shanty as a repository of blue collar solidarity songs that are great for groups and to scream, so I don't understand the love for the Wellerman, though enjoy it fine

This is the *stupidest* use of LLMs - right?
The primary problems with video games are:
1) too well written
2) don't suffer from enough bloat
3) run too quickly
Luckily Google has fixed it in a way even worse than Stadia!

I am currently regularly dealing with Zscaler support and Drata support.
Drata support is awful because you need to get answers from an LLM before you can talk to it. But the LLM is worthless because it just puts out a segment from the knowledge base and you only contact support when things are broken.
Zscaler support is worthless because they're undertrained and given a flow chart to follow. The flow chart means they just parrot the knowledge base repeatedly.
Drata's support is better because there's only one human trapped in this hell.

Zscaler seeing a user has an IP in 100.0.0.0/8 tells me that wont work because that's a Zscaler internal IP.
Of course, the user's ISP is misusing CGNAT and also claiming IANA reserved IPs are theirs.
Abolish legacy IP
@The Psychotic Network Ferret the problem was that neither group using 100.6.0.0/16 *owned* it. Both of them were using it for extra IPv4 space.
And I've been a ISP grunt, I know we want IPv4 to die, but there's some ISPs that have bonkers IPv4 stacks and massive CGNATs without a whisper of IPv6

Hey #Bhyve/#FreeBSD people!
I'm trying to manage USB passthrough into a guest, I can't find anything in the manpages. Is there something I'm missing?
reshared this
Proper USB passthrough isn’t ridiculously difficult to implement by any stretch, but I guess nobody’s got around to it yet.
@Phil Dennis-Jordan 😷 "Not missing something" is a good answer! Thanks!
I gotta figure out if I have a host I can give my homeassistant server. But thanks!
You can pass entire USB controller (PCI passthru) into Bhyve VM but not a USB port or USB device.
Here instructions how to do it:
