If OT equipment such as solar inverters need to be logged, and the logging mechanism needs internet access so that the data can be checked remotely, it's good to ensure that logging appliance is segmented from the rest of the corporate network. Better yet if the logging appliance has its own internet connection instead of riding on the corporate network's DIA (Direct Internet Access - a dedicated,…
Noli Me Tangere > Chapter 1 (A Gathering) In late October, Don Santiago de los Santos (otherwise known as Capitan Tiago), hosted a dinner at his house on Anloague Street. The descriptions of the house could be likened to the status of Philippine society under Spanish rule. Among the characters we meet are a Teniente Guevara, Padre Sibyla (Dominican) and Padre Damaso (Franciscan). Padre Damaso…
Just realized that I had posted about planners in succession. That's what happens when we just blog away without looking at the latest posts. 😊 Then again, one of the reasons why I chose to setup a blog here in Bear Blog is that the technical part is quite easy so I might as well just focus on blogging away. Make it easy for you to just write whenever you get the chance to write. No need to…
Am leaning towards a paper-based Daily Planner, and a Digital Monthly + Weekly Planner. Since I'd rather write long posts using pen and paper, the Monthly + Weekly planner (which will contain fewer words) can be easily handled by a digital stylus. For those who want to use a pen for big picture activities (such as Monthly or Weekly plans), there's always scratch paper. Then when that's finalized,…
Is it better to just use Monthly and Weekly digital planners, and paper-based Daily Planners? Somehow, journaling on a device can be tiresome if the smaller screen requires you to regularly swipe the screen from side to side. If you get a larger screen, writing on a smooth surface or even on some kind of screen protector (to simulate paper) still feels different from writing on paper. Writing on a…
What happens if your blog hosted in BearBlog can be accessed by a custom domain that has www and also nothing in the subdomain portion? For example, what if the blog can be accessed by both these URLs: alam.ph www.alam.ph Which one will be indexed in the search engines? Is there a way to make www.alam.ph redirect 301 to alam.ph? One solution is to create these DNS records: www.alam.ph A…
For some webhost providers where your DNS records are maintained, it's not possible to create a CNAME record for the root domain. In such cases, the webhost provider's DNS system will require an ALIAS record for the root domain. For www dot rootdomain, you're required to create a CNAME record (and not an ALIAS record). But if you have previously created or hosted a website in your provider, you'll…
Let's see how consistently we can write on a platform that has longevity, such as the Bear Blog platform. Am grateful to Herman for this opportunity to experiment and document our learning journey. If I can continue blogging here over the next 4 years, that would be great! 20250917_Wed_0231PM
What happens if employees start using Shadow AI Agents? Will they be able to fly under the radar since Corporate IT has no visibility over such agentic AI applications? (What does "toasted" mean in the BearBlog world?)
