I liked the old Cisco where if there was a sufficiently high CVE, you could call TAC and have your long-passed (or retired but now running the home network) device get the latest security patch in that train. Better for the internet as a wh

Anyone know of a good list of consumer routers to avoid, regarding lax software/firmware updates past the 12-month warranty (which is sometimes it's artificial EoL)? The reason I run a router based on open-source, is I know it&#x2

It's been happening for years. Anything to limit the number of onsite visits needed because that takes a lot more time. I know insurance brokers who have revisited a clients renewal, because Google Maps and/or the council's G

Many colour-correction swatches use a pale woman with a fruit hat due to the colour range, gradual skin tones, and high dynamic range. I'm surprised it hasn't become the replacement standard image...

The "HPE Battery for real-time clock" (otherwise known as CR2032) from the an official Australian HPE spare-parts supplier was listed at $50AUD. Now, those types of listings are behind a "Request Quote" partially, IMHO,

A friend had the numberplate 'NULL'. Quite often carparks with numberplate technology would go all 'Hotel California' on him - wouldn't let them out until he called someone to remotely activate the boom to let him t

For a group so devoted to "cattle, not pets", so many responses here indicate an almost constant need for hands-on effort from upgrade testing, UAT, right through to post-upgrade hypercare. I'd like a slightly longer LTS pure

No, however, Australian housing rent prices are now higher than mortgage repayments in some areas due to housing availability. Also, those who have paid off their house, have been profligate during the recent sales. The timing are co-incide

It's peripheral movement which hinders my reading, and granted, it may just be me. That said, an "Edit attribute" later, and I'm impressed with the project. I know many a project that have suffered due to bad or non-exis

Authentik takes a little more to set up than KeyCloak, but the effort is well worth it when you go to configure TOTP. Authentik 2FA UX can be quite easy, similar to commercial products.
