  • I’m not sure if you’re being genuine or not; your last sentence makes me lean towards racist, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

    Ha, that’s mighty big of you? 🤔. The necessary? into to your comment says “I read something you said and assume you’re a racist, but I’m not sure based on four short sentences.” I’m guessing you inferred the people I was talking about treating medical staff like shit were all non-whites “like me”?

    It’s not that I don’t understand how easy it is to assume or infer things from internet conversations, but would you consider questions help more than statements?

    Yes, I was genuinely asking.

    It’s very hard to trust any “studies” anymore since with enough money, I feel like you could fund a study to say anything, and get other institutions to back it for the greater good/bad. Does that mean I don’t believe in discrimination or bias, no. That’s why I’d like to get first hand accounts also, knowing there’s less credibility of random lemmy users, it’s still something.

    One of comments I read pointed out the study only included patients with insurance. If a significant contributor to quality of care has to do with income, I would want to believe that insurance would reduce that, since the organization is getting paid. I don’t know the back end details of different carriers and what they pay, and whether that would effect the actual care providers. I wouldn’t think a nurse gives a crap how much the patient’s insurance would or wouldn’t cover.

    I’ve had pain meds withheld, and I’m the perfect white male that should get everything. I might have assumed care providers tend to think addiction issues with other people more than others.

    My profession has come a long way. Someone with fucked up points of view on race joined my team a while ago. They got sorted out real fast. I saw and experienced that those ideas wouldn’t be tolerated at all. Instantly shutdown.

    I suppose that’s not the case everywhere.













  • You’re correct about vlan.

    Think of vlan is a regular switch. Connect stuff, they communicate. Make two vlans in a switch, think of turning your physical switch into two separate switches.

    Connect you switches to a router. Don’t want to waste two cables from your switch that’s cut in half? Do trunk port, with vlan tagged.

    Lots of videos will explain better.

    Best practice is to separate things of different trust levels into different vlans. You can filter and control the traffic between those vlans with your router.

    As previously mentioned, in the Enterprise and business world, best practice is to separate and management from VMS and applications. We call this data plane and control plane. You would restrict access to your proxmox for other hypervisor interface from the VMS and applications. For small home setups and funsies, this gets a little complicated, but if it’s your career choice or interest, it’s a good thing to explore.

    Key terms you can research: data plane, control plane, out of band management, air gapped.



  • If we’re being serious for a moment, there is some merit to this in my opinion, from the standpoint of the fear and the psychology at play during that time.

    I also remember being in shock at how far people lost their minds and went off the rails believing things I thought wasn’t rational.

    I don’t fault medical professionals who were operating with no useful information, and only had standard protocols while trying to deal with an overwhelming amount of people, some who died under their care despite their efforts. They were trying everything. They prescribed the drugs. The administration was just, imo, trying to give people hope (false hope I suppose).

    I like making jokes, but I find it ironic that so many people complain about reddit allowing Nazis and hate or whatever, yet in the comments, there’s talk about it being good that conservatives died, they’re cancer, etc.

    I hate Trump, but would any of the commenters have lost their minds if instead of conservatives, the comments said progressive, Democrats, some other minority? If you’re being honest and not defensive, I think any other reaction would be a bit hypocritical?
