i'm sure that most of us have heard of the meditation method where you visualize inhaling positive energy and exhaling negative energy. if you read tarot, you may have visualized your energy and intent flowing into the deck in a similar fashion. that is the inspiration for this method!
- meditate using the above mentioned method. this is optional, but i find it to be helpful.
- set the scene. basically, just picture exactly where you're shifting to. what does it look like? what position are you in? are any people there?
- focus on yourself. i like to call this losing the room. wherever you are in your current reality, lose track of it. perceive your body in your current reality, but not its surroundings. focusing on symptoms is 100% okay if it means you're focused on a sensation that isn't caused by your clothes or the surface you're on. essentially, you want to feel like you're floating. keep your dr in the back of your mind while doing this.
- transfer your energy. vaguely picture your dr self in their current position from a third person point of view. i personally use a below/behind view, but anything works. visualize your energy flowing from your cr body, that you are still perceiving, into your dr body. with your energy you should transfer your awareness; becoming less aware of/perceiving less of your cr body, becoming more aware of/perceiving more of your dr body. when it feels like it has completely transferred, hopefully you will have shifted!
step 2 and 3 are kind of interchangeable, just rearrange them in whatever order you find helpful. but don't obsess over the steps too much, the method allows for a lot of creative freedom with your visualization!
Does anyone know of a tool that exists that can ingest ACLs and VLAN interface configs and output a matrix of what traffic is allowed between source and destinations? I’ve done this manually but it’s extremely time consuming and tedious.
I found something that sounds similar but haven’t been able to spin it up yet: https://github.com/conix-security/audit-springbok
The result would be a table like this: ——DESTINATIONS—— SOURCES | VLAN A VLAN B VLAN C VLAN A all all none VLAN B part all none VLAN C none all none
The thumbnail of this video also shows a similar example from flow analysis: https://youtu.be/cURlqjg3Ud4
Ideally, the tool would allow me to get more and less granular with what I consider all, partial, or none (i.e. ping only would be considered none still)
I was looking for ways to visualize traffic on my home network when I found that Traffic Flow has all the necessary data, but no quick way to view it. So, I created a Docker container and played around with using Cacti and its FlowView plugin for Netflow/IPFIX, but that turned out to be a disaster. Then I tried the Elastic Stack, which worked much better. Filebeat has some nice pre-made dashboards for viewing Netflow data, which can be imported into Kibana.
For those interested in trying this out with minimal effort, I created a repo with a Dockerfile that can be used to quickly create and launch a container to test it out:
https://github.com/arktronic/docker-quick-elastic-netflow
I'm using IPFIX in the screenshot from the repo, though older Netflow versions should work as well. I wrote a couple of simple Filebeat scripts (included in the repo) to modify the data, such as properly sourcing IPv6 addresses and falling back to using the IP in the *.domain fields when domain info is not available.
On first blush, I'd just like a private system that allows me to store and organize all the information I keep gathering (some might say hoarding) in a way that is organized and interconnected and easy to search and navigate, and also that is physically under my control, rather than relying on "the cloud" or some subscription-based service from a third party. Though I might be open to distributed, P2P solutions as well, as long as they're reliable.
In the short term, I need to decide which of these CMS to use.
In the long term, I'd like to implement web apps that do data analytics on the wiki, and automatically generate concept maps, flow diagrams, and other graphic knowledge representations based on natural-language-processing of the contents.
What is the best short-term approach for this long-term project? I'd like to write as little code as possible myself: I'm perfectly happy retrofitting others' works into this, and crediting them in all the appropriate ways. I'd really like to avoid spending time groping in the dark around a wall, looking for a door, when all along it was a cliff that was in front of me, but I also understand that this sort of misery is part of the whole programmer experience, especially if you want to avoid proprietary software.
Should I buy something like a Synology 4 bay NAS DiskStation? Should I use Debian for an OS, or a fork thereof? I'd like the most privacy, security, and reliability for the minimum headache. Budget is, fortunately, not a big problem. Time is a bigger issue, since I'm doing this between jobs and will likely continue it as a side hustle/hobby project.
I have a project that I’m working where I want to visualize supply chain flow of a particular product in the United States. It would be great to see similar visualizations if anyone could share.
The developers over at Atomos, have launched a beta open-source Chrome developer tool designed specifically for Recoil. Atomos integrates seamlessly with React DevTools to provide real-time visualization and facilitate the planning and debugging of a React/Recoil application’s structure and state.
