I had no idea about Elan School. The comic is absolutely amazing and I've just spent the last several hours reading the first half of it. Absolutely amazing and hard to just imagine the horrific physical and psychological abuse that occurred at this "school."

Re:Ask HN: Where does everyone go after mass layoffs?

Ah, my recollection is definitely different. It was absolute madness for a while. You'd show up and there would be a line of 30+ people all waiting to see the same place. You'd also need to be armed with a "rental resume" along with the dreaded application fee to even be a contender.
When things burst, that all went away.
This was pretty interesting:

In the 2000s, many younger people (sub-30s) moved to the bay area to participate in the boom.
When things went sideways, many returned to their home state and/or moved back in with their parents. The local San Francisco rental market subsequently crashed.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this, but if you are on a Mac, KeepIt[1] is great. It is basically an overlay on top of the normal Mac file system (a bit like DevonThink in that regard).

Crusty stalwart here. I'd love to get off crusty VPN concentrators. I'd personally love to see something in the open source space that supports 2FA and a rich, user-based policy language. Tailscale is trying to deliver an enterprise product that builds this on top of Wireguard. I'm not aware of any open source approaches tackling this problem like Tailscale, but I'm keenly interested.

GCP is fantastic! I've been especially pleased with their network (the GLB is awesome!), BigQuery, Bigtable, GCE live migration, and of course... GKE. I cringe at the thought of having to run Kubernetes myself or settle for an inferior managed solution from Azure or AWS.
Re:WireGuard is in net-next

I tend to agree with this statement. I have been tracking WireGuard as a potential replacement for PulseSecure and it's a far ways off. We need 2FA and SAML support along with dynamic address assignment and logging before we can make the case to replace PulseSecure.

It's like this already -- you pay yearly maintenance fees for access to software upgrades. If you let it lapse and then want to re-enroll, you're still on the hook for the lapsed time. Maintenance fees typically don't include your support contract fees, either.
