"Not preaching what you practice" sounds preferable to "not practicing what you preach", if only because "not preaching" sounds good. I wish more people would practice that ☺
-
#Best_Practices would say "Block everything, allow only what's necessary" implying that outbound ping should be blocked. In practice, I allow outbound ping. Philosophically, I'm in favour of an #OpenWeb, so I'm inclined to allow outbound everything. However, realities pervail (including $EMPLOYER policies), so I don't necessarily preach what I practice.
-
Is there a rationale for having a firewall block nodes inside from *pinging out*?
-
I allow the network facing router to respond to ping, but the pings dont pass through the firewall. Other services (web, mail, XMPP) are already responding to requests, so it's not like the IP address is undiscoverable. Ping provides a valuable diagnostic tool.

Why is important for !security to block #ping? Because #dogma? http://www.lacunae.org/ping-why-do-i-need-to-block-ping
-
Love the #httptunnel #handshake: "POST /index.html?crap=1402515546 HTTP/1.1"
-
#Knuth expresses "unhappiness with the current trend toward multicore architecture": !pq "won’t be surprised at all if the whole #multithreading idea turns out to be a flop" http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1193856
-
It's amazing how many otherwise intelligent people think !security doesn't really matter because they figure there are few people on the Internet, even fewer computers, and most everyone and everything on the network is friendly.
-
I think an act of frustration is where one cuts/breaks the tip off of a cone, isn't it?
-
Pretty but doubly or triply terrifying: spear thistle... being pollinated by... carpenter... bees: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/5915
-
What #word means the opposite of "aegis"?
-
Watching episode 1 of #RedGreenShow w/ @palmella, I realised that I finally have friends with stories like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUXPuYZ4DEQ#t=1320
-
Acquired a complete DVD boxed set of #RedGreenShow, the other day....
-
I think "Sausages" is a polite, appropriate term for those people.
-
I'll bet they're the same coworkers who take no part in the community of programmers / developers / !FreeSoftware advocates / LUGs, or similar. I never understood how these people can maintain or refine their skills when they shut off their interest unless it's $EMPLOYER mandated.
-
#q "This may be the biggest #legal controversy to engulf the #mathematical constant #pi since that time in #1897 when the Indiana legislature tried to declare it equal to 3.2" http://www.wired.com/2014/05/pi-takedown/
-
I'm sorry, my !coffee mustn't have kicked in yet—I could've sworn you just said that someone got a #trademark on π. Oh, no—you DID say that‽
-

-
!coffee + ibuprofen → it's almost like I got to sleep last night!
-
I just learned what WhatsApp actually is. I guess it's nice to see that it's possible to get on #XMPP? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whatsapp
