Networks and "rooms"

• Quoted from https://forum.pistar.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=313&sid=441d913a3ea14f169a30a733967f5def&start=10#p1892

There are basically three different networks. YSF, FCS, and the Wires-X Network. The Wires-X network is Yaesu's own network and you need their hardware to access it (or a local repeater that's connected to it). YSF and FCS are open.

Simple automated GIT Deployment using GIT Hooks

Here are the simple steps needed to create a deployment from your local GIT repository to a server based on this in-depth tutorial.

How it works

You are developing in a working-copy on your local machine, lets say on the master branch. Most of the time, people would push code to a remote server like github.com or gitlab.com and pull or export it to a production server. Or you use a service like deepl.io to act upon a Web-Hook that's triggered that service.

Remote, Office not Required https://basecamp.com/books/remote

1. If I can't see them, how do I know they're working?

(pg 54) People have amazing ability to live down to low expectations, or live up to high expectations. If there are trust issues with employees, then the employer made poor hiring decision. Employer/Employee trust is fundamental.

2. People’s homes are full of distractions

(pg 58) being easily distracted from work could mean the work is not well defined or the task is menial, pointless. Might be a chance that if someone feels like this, others on the team might feel the same.

Vpn-ception

Ideally, I like to run one vpn. I have OpenVPN/PiVPN working just fine.

On the PiVPN server, I'd like to run a VPN client to my work office.

It's difficult to get Cisco VPN client and Tunnelblick clients running side-by-side on the same machine, ie my local dev machine, without a seeming hack(see below).

I have it working locally.

• Cisco AnyConnect Client connect to work VPN. Only specific resources are made available. All other traffic is routed as normal.
