Last year in #Finland 3% of all #desktop users used #linux. Just in one year the percentage has jumped to 24% according to #Statcounter. This must be some issue with the data. At the same time mac users have dissappeared? Do finnish #macOS users use some browser that statcounter counts as "linux"?

MS VPNs works with FQDNs and IPs. Welcome to 2010.

Oh, you can have different rules for different users. mind blowing!

Wait, "I have a subset of private resources that I only want to secure for a specific time frame."

Do you mean you want the private resources not-secured for the rest of the time?

"Remote workers don't need to use a VPN to access these resources if they have the Global Secure Access Client installed. " that's a vpn client.

I think the open source movement is in serious trouble due to generative AI, as maintainers are going to get flooded with torrents of bad code and analysis the longer the AI hype train continues.

It’s exhausting and unsustainable if an entire generation are introduced to not knowing or caring about what they are doing.
