A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah it's very effective. It has a big downside of people losing the pegs and then those addresses are "lost" but all that means is that 2 users can't reliably connect and when they report to IT they will be asked if they had the correct peg. And I guess quarterly do a review for unused addresses that have pegs out and create new ones for lost pegs.

Always make a backup! Hopefully, they remembered the 1-2-3 rule 🤔

These things are often used for temporary installations (like 2 weeks max)

A temporary solution is neither of both
