im reading the problem

but this is the exact reason im so turned off from angular

Looks like `next()` is returning undefined.

sounds like an architecture issue that would be hard to guess at

yea log everything between the user and where the url call is ordered to see what is not being called

Well I traded one problem for another. Fixed the issue with the call not firing, now I got some other weird error.

The thing is, I'm sure whatever it is is a simple fix, it's just that the stack trace is pointing to library files instead of my code, so it's useless.

Question about online security and doxxing prevention. A friend of mine accidentally had his work phone logged into the company WiFi, while downloading a file from TRS. He said his work email is connected to his phone. Should he be worried? If so, how much?

Not at all. It's not a good practice, but network admins are so flooded with traffic they aren't going to be able to single it out, especially from a mobile device over wifi. Tell him not to worry one bit, but to refrain from doing that.

I will let him know. Thanks!

Not a problem, that's taken from my years of working for two big evil, corporations, my two year degree in IT-Sec, and the fuck-ups I've done like that.

lol. I hear that.

Tell him to get a VPN to mask his traffic.

But yeah, unless the network admins are actively looking for "problematic" web surfing, there should be no problem. Typically if they are concerned with the web traffic, it's about time-wasters like reddit.

In the past, I was pretty reckless and listened to alt right YouTube videos from my work pc, with the headphones on at least.

What is a good VPN?

someone call James alsup

@Rick Strongly advise you just use your phone instead. Not worth the risk. A lot of workplaces automatically block or flag VPN/tunneling sites.

oh. i no longer do that at work. just wonder for private life.

also. a few months ago, there was a link to an article on how to avoid being doxxed. does anyone still have it?

Nevermind, I found it: https://redice.tv/news/how-to-not-get-doxed

@Rick A good VPN is one that allows payment in bitcoin, has many servers (countries) available, and if you're into such a thing...allows torrent traffic.

Another layer of protection is having a dedicated browser installation *only* for use with the VPN.

If privacy is your goal: basically, try to avoid being digitally "fingerprinted" at your real location with your online accounts.

For instance, if I switch over to VPN and keep using the same browser, all those cookies with login information and tracking (Google, anyone?) still persist.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a quiet high capacity sump pump? I want to upgrade before I sink a bunch of money into finishing my basement.

My current pump is a 1/2hp and it barely keeps up on rainy days. I also already have a water powered emergency backup but I'd rather not have that run unless it has to.

Also it definitely occurs to me that this probably isn't the right channel to ask this question in but we don't have a plumbing channel.

@Der Seeteufel - SD good point, created: <#469988837175721985>

Lol I was checking our zimbra logs one day and noticed a static IP constantly deauthing

It was out of china but wasnt from one of our offices and was trying to login under generic user names, so I blacklisted it on our gateway

Its been 6 days and the bot on whoevers foreign server has tried to auth in to our zimbra server over 10k times

@Deleted User haha. Good thing you're there.

yeah lol, I've also noticed there are a lot of chinese command and control servers being hosted out of israel

usually they appear to just be servers that the israelis havent apparently checked in a while and theres ching chong gibberish that comes back whenever you request data from one of their services

I set up VPSes on DO sometime, and almost immediately when they start they get pummeled by URL and port scanners from who knows where. It's not a major problem as long as your username/password isn't admin/admin

you can pcap with something like pfring if you have a ton of data. Usually I sniff the incoming traffic and filter for all of our site gateway IPs or NAT address and then blacklist almost everything else if its outside of the US

Yeah depending on the Use case I have different types of auth, but usually it's just ssl+basic auth behind an Apache proxy for services and UFW for ports I don't want open

have you ever used nginx?

Not really, I know it's popular but I always use Apache
