Does this sub post anything other than Elon Musk bullshit?!

I recommend avoiding social media.

It’s clearly biased against fingered folks!

If you came to talk politics, your gonna be a minority. If you came for hobbies, it’s a pretty chill place. Just block the major ragebait type communities and it’s all good.

I’m not sure there is even a video on that shitty site.

Yep, straight A’s in all AP classes right up until college. Party life and not being prepared for the stuff you are talking about really derailed my progress.

Ultimately I realized I can make good money in IT without a degree but it’s still much harder to get past the automatic screeners without a BA.

It would be nice if other industries had certification programs like IT does. I took a couple classes not long ago and really enjoyed them but it’s so hard to manage work, school, and parenting nowadays.

Stay in school kids!

Kanye goes by something else? You know what, I still don’t care. Nevermind.

Shame on you.

One of the things that makes Lemmy unique is the underlying decentralized infrastructure. I think it’s just a request to keep that mantra.

That is possible as well. Those firewalls are capable of packet inspection. If you are using personal devices it won’t be able to see much if you are using encryption in transit but if you are using University provided machines there is a good chance they can inspect all the data you are sending and receiving.

Are you hosting a service that is not under your organizations official domain or something? It is common security practice to block newly created domains which may be why your domain is blacklisted if you only recently stood it up.

Sounds like your university is using a Palo Alto Next Gen Firewall which is intercepting DNS requests and responding with the sinkhole FQDN for anything they deem malicious or suspicious. You can try to override this with DNS over HTTPS but they may also be blocking that. Standard security stuff. You can also probably try to open an IT ticket and request that they whitelist the domain.

I started this way but I’ve been in my field for a few years and now I can’t tell if I’m pretty good or if everyone else is just terrible.

Oh man, I wanted that phone so freaking bad!

It’s usually the invasive data collection that gets people.

Ya, I tested the waters there and it’s filled with some truly rabid individuals. That was an easy block decision.

I hate when only one wheel works!

I can feel this reply. Cheers to a better weekend!

I’m perfectly fine with this sort of hierarchy as the mainstream platforms inevitably become terrible.
