On a barely related note, that reminds me of this classic financial media segment.

Did you mean to send that reply to me?

I ask because I'm not quite sure what specific suggestions you're looking for.

But in general, I would suggest not exposing port forwarding.

What services are running behind NGINX? What router/firewall are you using?

They are frequently targeted because they offer enterprise grade configurations at consumer prices.

Which means, there's a lot that can be misconfigured, and a lot of short staffed and under budgeted IT departments that deploy them, which means they are a good payoff when exploited.

That's the bad part, and the good part.

You really cannot beat their price point to value for professional grade networking equipment. Just take the time to understand what you're doing when doing your configurations, and keep them updated.

Absolutely. Especially software that has to interface with specific hardware, which often times can have issues working properly with Windows VMs.

I can just dedicate some old hardware for baremetal Win10, but not everyone has that luxury.

That's why humans have brains, for situational awareness.

And it's less about not breaking for an animal, as it is about not wildly swerving.

Also, you should probably revise your thinking on this before you visit any states that have large animals like Moose on the roads. Because if you plow into one with a car, it can easily kill you when it crushes you after impact.

They will, but only because he'll die trying to make toast while taking a bath, or something else actually Darwin Award worthy.

Holy shit.

After reading both of your comments, I am left feeling dumber by at least 12%.

Quick, write about four more of them and I should be good and ready to find my way to a Darwin Award.

U know what i think ...

The better question is do I care what you think, and the answer is no, not at all.

But if you insist, I'm sure whatever you're thinking shouldn't be too hard to figure out, as there can't be too many possibilities. What I'm saying is, you give strong vibes of a likely future Darwin Award nominee.

It feels like none of you have actually read the Darwin Awards website that actually you know, coined the phrase.

Simply working a dangerous environment and dying within it, doesn't make it a Darwin Award, not even a nominee.

She was there to do a job that required a lot of attention on it's own. You can't be assigned to photograph skydivers, at an airfield, without having to expend some energy and attention to doing that job.

By your logic, any of the kids who got ground up and killed cleaning meat processing plants, should have been more aware. Guess they're also Darwin Award winners, at least by your metrics.

Darwin Awards are for deaths that are so stupendously stupid and insane, that the removal of their genes from the gene pool acts as a kind of cleanse.

Such as the guy who stuck a plunger in the shower as a makeshift dildo, held on to the shower curtain rod area for support, which proceeded to break under his weight and impaled him.

That's an actual Darwin Award. Not this poor lady.

That's not what Darwin awards are for.

Ironically, the fact that you think it is, means if you have an untimely death, there's a good chance it will be eligible.

No asshole, read the article before making such callous comments.

She was there, on assignment for work. Small airfields are very dangerous, and this type of accident can happen to anyone who isn't fully focused on their surroundings. Such as a photographer who is taking photographs as part of their job, steps in the wrong direction.
