  • But I run a VPN on my phone by default, so I’d have to disconnect from that to access stuff on my home network (and remember to turn it back on after).

    That’s why I’m planning on using mTLS until I get my router configured to direct my BTH VPN through the gateway I have running on my phone.

    I just need to figure out how to get VLANs properly set up in Mikrotik without having to nuke everything and start from scratch.

















  • I had to spend months moving our IBM3270 automations to a new product because the company we had a license with apparently went under (they wouldn’t respond to requests for a new license when we needed to do a server upgrade.

    It took so long because their proprietary BASIC like language had basically no documentation, and the scripts had been written like 12 years before. At least I moved us to an open source solution, which didn’t have the best documentation, but I could just look through the source to get the answers I needed (and had to program in some missing functionality).

    I’m still sad that I wasn’t allowed to contribute to the project due to our government contracts. At least I could contribute to the python wrapper I found for it to make it Python 3 compatible.
