Yeah, I agree that’s the easiest path to take in properly securing it.

Oh I’ve got nothing against how the librarians handled it. I’m more concerned that their IT staff failed to properly shield the library from liabilities like OP.

Yeah, this argument is bullshit once you actually know what you’re talking about instead of following some cult videos that teach you to repeat them.

I have to admit, I never thought of this as a way to bypass the captive portal (sorta just assumed everyone going through the public network would have to hit it, kinda of the equivalent to having everyone sign a liability waiver).

That’s because if that library’s network was properly configured it would work exactly like your expectation.

Yeah, having services blocked on Wi-Fi and not ethernet just tells me that their IT staff didn’t properly configure the network in public areas properly. That ethernet port should have been disabled, physically locked, or properly configured to use the public network like the Wi-Fi does.

I plugged into ethernet (as wifi w/captive portal does not work for me). I think clearnet worked but I have no interest in that. Egress Tor traffic was blocked and so was VPN. I’m not interested in editing all my scripts and configs to use clearnet, so the library’s internet is useless to me (unless I bother to try a tor bridge).

Yeah… Trying to bypass their security by using ethernet instead of Wi-Fi to use your own stuff that’s being blocked is tantamount to abusing the library’s services. Someone should let the IT staff know so they can properly block those services on ethernet as well.

At a previous job I had, we were only given options for 1080p monitors. I ended up with a total of 5 and needed all of them.

Is that why nobody would hire you? /s

You don’t, you just release it as is and call it Early Access

Master should just have the feature description commits, not the hundred commits it took to get there after refactoring the code for the 3rd time and pulling changes from master since it’s taken so long to get done.

Grow up

Yeah, but you really don’t need to be an ass and flaunt it everywhere.

No, just disagreeing the bullshit of a clueless internet stranger.

See above comment for reply then sprinkle a bit of irony for the projection coming from you.

No, I don’t think I am. You’re just wrong and don’t want to admit it. Some self reflection will do you good.

Except you keep claiming it’s fire. It’s not fire, so stop calling it such.

No, I’m just saying you’re wrong at this point. You just keep proving that to be true with every reply.

Your definition does not make it the definition. Nobody really cares about your definitions or what you would do with it. People care about the accepted definitions and what is the expectation.

No, it just doesn’t fit in your imagination, but it is a 2 way connection by definition. It’s also everything the ISP promises when they give you an internet connection.

You have a 2 way connection as facilitated by the CGNAT gateway that routes responses back to your network.
