So... Dell calls me the other day about one of our servers potentially having defective RAM. I go to the data center today to pick up the parts.... 1 big box with 24 smaller boxes inside... Each small box contained only 1 stick of RAM!!!! Leaving 3 empty slots per box!!! They only gave me 9 return labels, which makes no sense. I only need 6 boxes to return everything.
I cannot math today,….

Cursing the existence of SIP-ALG.
The only way to disable it on a FortiGate is the command line. I'm fine with that, but most people won't even be aware it exists and is turned on!

Interesting choice to exclude that from their interface.
Even an alert to confirm that you want it left on would be better than completely excluding it. -
Morning all, time for some coffee!

Yeah, they aren't the worst products but.... I'd be pretty hesitant to buy one. That's a ridiculous situation.

Wouldn't surprise me. They're pricing structure reminds me of Cisco, you have to license the most basic stuff.... 2fa, that's an additional license!

Working tickets and looking at the new insurance being offered. 12 plans ranging from 139 a pay period to 650 a pay period. I wish I knew more about insurance. I dont know how to adult to this level. lol

Mostly it is just about math and looking at your financial outlook.

That's slightly helpful, but I'm confused when I look at this list. I don't know any of it works. that's my own fault though. I'm doing some more research on all of that when I have a chance. I have until 12/31 at 11:59 to enroll.

Mixing down a recently unearthed live show by my old reggae band. 4 whole sets, apparently no rhythm guitar, but we did have a trumpet player/percussionist and 2 wacky room mics.

What you do not want is a 70%/30% or 80%/20% plan or worse. You want a 100% plan.
You then set the deductible as high as you are comfortable with comparing your monthly premium and your savings to handle the deductible.
Now, I say that knowing that this is basically the most expensive plan of the monthly premiums you can look at.
So then you start to look at costs and risk of having those costs.
The question then is do you understand what 80/20 or 70/30 even mean?
The 20% or 30% is how much, AFTER you pay your deductible, of any procedure you will still have to pay.
You are a bit young for this example, but it is a common once men hit 45, a colonoscopy.
Weird Fake number: $12k
Plan cost: $1600Assuming you met your deductible already, you will still pay 20% of this, or $320. If you have not met your deductible, obviously, you will pay that entire amount of $1,600.
This is the kind of math and risk assessment you have to do when buying insurance in the United States.
Another example, my younger daughter crashed her bike and broke her wrist last year. It was a severe break and she had to have surgery. Those costs there were also more than $10k jsut for the one part of the treatment.
We paid $1k because she had not hit her deductible yet. Had she already had an event that hit her deductible, this would have been paid 100% by the plan, for $2050. If I had a plan that was 80/20, I would have had to pay $410 still./ Even though we had already made our deductible for the year.
A 70/30 is obviously worse in all scenarios.
