This month #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) in #Manchester is on Wednesday 8th October instead of Thursday due to a timetabling clash.
I'm not sure what the talk will be about, but even if there isn't one, it's nice to chat with people about #Networking and other technical subjects.
It's at the Northern Monk (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/manchester) from 7pm, and by luck I will be able to make it 🥳
Come and chat with some nice people, and have some weird 🍻, and if you're hungry, 🍔 and 🍟!
I had a good time again.
I think quite a few new people could make it as it was on a Wednesday rather than a Thursday.
I was lucky that I had to be in Manchester for work today, so could join too.
Maz gave a talk about Protected Access Workstations, a way of creating a low-cost, replaceable device that ISPs (amongst others) can use to access their core/managed/secure networks, and shouldn't (and cannot) be used to access normal user networks and the Internet.
Unfortunately, according to some new best practices for "Tier 1 and 2" ISPs, QubesOS is not enough, which is a shame, as i feel that would be a pretty good way of not needing to carry 2 devices around all the time...
