  • They just don’t want to protect themselves:

    Veradigm provides health record technology and management systems to thousands of hospitals and doctors across the world, reporting $594 million in revenue in 2024. […] Formerly known as Allscripts, Veradigm has experienced cybersecurity incidents in the past. It was attacked by the SamSam ransomware gang in 2019 and faced several class action lawsuits due to the incident, which caused outages across thousands of hospitals. The company also reported a different cybersecurity incident in December 2025, telling the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that 2,672,036 people had health data exposed during a breach in December 2024.

    $594M and they get hit 3 times (that we know of).

    Why not hire a security consultant for a few months…




  • It’s been a while for me (I don’t upgrade things that work and I try to buy things that last a long time…)

    But, Hotel Mode might still be a thing, and it might bypass some “smart” stuff on the TV

    I used that to make my TV start on the correct external HDMI port for my MythTV instance running on Arch Linux (btw) with dual TV tuners in.

    The TV is rarely used to watch live TV and it’s certainly not connected to any networking.

    Just another approach that I’ve not seen mentioned here





  • It’s keeping the drawings / spreadsheets / etc. up to date, to know what changes are required, that I’m thinking about.

    With multiple switches, VLANs, subnets, etc and I want to add an IoT device somewhere physically convenient, then maybe I now need to trunk the IoT VLAN through multiple devices from the Wifi AP PoE switch, update firewall rules, because this is the 1st device on that physical segment, etc… and then update the drawings afterwards.

    Now that’s worth automating.

    I’m looking for a map, not a calculator.






  • Are you using OPNSense to do the PPPoA / PPPoE connection through the ISP modem?

    I’m a pfSense user, but I recall there was an issue with the PPPoA / E driver / function… I don’t recall the details as it wasn’t affcting me, but basically it was the firewall dropping the connection, and the modem was just doing what it was told, which could be why the local wifi is also affected. Maybe OPNSense has the same problem…

    Keep a track of when this happens and what was happening at the time, that might help you to work out what’s going on. Only during the day? Also failing at night? With 6x 4k movies streaming? When idle? And as someone else mentioned… have you disturbed the cables, etc… maybe one of the cheap cables is having problems? It’s happened to me before…
