So let me get this right, they discovered a mistake. Fixed the mistake. Then that is suddenly newsworthy as if they are misleading someone somewhere?

This is a good thing, they are being honest.


Clearly a Pink Floyd fan!


Or a Manic Miner fan - it's the name of one of the levels. Presumably influenced by Pink Floyd, although the person that wrote Manic Miner was only about eleven IIRC :-)


This is a great idea.

Also this would be very valuable for folks joining large organizations who need to keep track of who is good / bad and capture how happy they are with whom they work with.


Legend. This is cool and awesome facecropping demo on your github.


I agree that robo-advisors are great, but they do leave a lot to be desired. I’m actively working on a service that would drastically change the way people engage with robo-advisory accounts.

I for one prefer to make stock selections on my own, however Wealthfront, Betterment, and Personal Capital do not allow me to manage my own investments with any of the robo-advisory features. There is a huge opportunity in the space.

It would be great to talk to you about it - I’d love to hear your thoughts - any way we can connect?


sure - dm me on twitter https://twitter.com/lzrscg


I got one line.


What about folks with old low karma real accounts. Lame.


I’ve been through this. Twice.

Once it got hostile. Allocate some money to hire a lawyer. Have your lawyer send him an email as a first step with your buy out terms. This would be skipping a step I went through which was the disagreement where we realized we weren’t good for each other in business anymore.

Let your partner sit on that a while. He has no leg to stand on, and if folds and competes with an identical business you can sue him on grounds against his Fiduciary Duties to the current business.

Maybe also google “Fiduciary Duties”.


I've used many different screensharing / video conferencing solutions.

I especially miss the one called Screen Hero - purchased and killed by Slack.

I must admit though Zoom has been great, and everyone on the team loves it. They also give you a great try-before-you-buy setup (unlimited 40 minute meetings)


Screenhero was the greatest for screen sharing with low latency. Still searching for a replacement.


There just isn't one. :(


Man I think I used this software back when I was working out of my closet back in 2004 trying to finish school. This was a nice abstraction on top of IPTables.

I definitely remember screwing up rules which caused me to have to drive to the data center about 15 miles from my house after kicking myself out of machines I was SSH'd into.


You're giving me flashbacks to working on ASAs and issuing a "reboot 15" before making config changes, so that the device would reboot into the last config if you locked yourself out. And those were still in the same building!


How would it reboot on the old config if you had just changed it?


Cisco devices have a "running config" in volatile memory and a "startup config" on persistent storage. You can modify the running config without committing the change to the startup config.


Because iptables changes aren't persistent unless you write them to some file that gets loaded at bootup.


Been a long time, but doesn't `write conf` write the config to NVRAM?


If I recall correctly he added a safety net that I setup after doing this a few time.

I'd be SSHd in and restart the rules, then the SSH session would hang. I was actively modifying rules and hey look I was a noobie sysadmin!

I made dumb mistakes back then. I believe that's when I made a catch all rule for my home IP on ssh in and out.

Regardless, thanks Tom!


>after kicking myself out of machines I was SSH'd into

I still remember my first 'ifconfig eth0 down' over ssh!


I bet you learned to give yourself alternatives back in right.


First thing on shorewall was always to set ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes :)
