I think the book you are referring to should be Isaac Asimov’s End of eternity. Oh boy what I would like to give to be able to read it again for the first time.

And now I am hungry.

It is the best to make pasta salads, they say. For me they can stop making it all together.

A sad news. Condolences to his family. May his legacy continue to inspire others as he did.

I work from home since 2012, so almost 12 years. The small company where I work started allowing remote working with me, and then many colleagues followed. Now we are 100% remote with one day a week in office. All my workmates and I know very well that we are far more productive when at home compared to when we are in office. My commit history also confirm this. I will never take in consideration another developer position if not allowed at least 80% of remote working.

I come from VyOS and really liked it, but still prefer opnsense for the GUI, constant updates and plugins. VyOS started losing appeal once they opted for subscription stable iso access (even if they did give me a free subscription for some comment contribution in their repo). Also, I have to admit, that VyOS needs a fraction of the resources needed by opnsense.

Here in Italy there is a clause in many voice/mobile/data plans that you should not operate your line outside some non specific “fair use”.

Water tortoises are omnivores for sure:

A friend of mine had a small garden pool with 2 or 3 tortoises and decided to buy some more fish to add the pool. The day after, half of the fish was gone leaving my friend puzzled. The second day the fish was gone and he understood why: tortoises, at least water ones, are omnivores.

I tried virtualizing Windows on proxmox and it went smooth

I would try this route first.

Here is my logic: it’s the effort to find what you are looking for in a bunch of files and I don’t know how many lines of source code versus the effort to search for some packets (which you should listen for anyway in the final solution) sent from a specific IP address over a relatively small amount of time.
