  3. Re:They do, but it's stupid. on Porsche Builds Photovoltaic Pylon, Offsetting Luddite Position On Self-Drive (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not 3.5kW. It's during the day more like 9 average. In summer, lots more than that. If the factory shuts down during the night, then in summer, it is considerably better than 3.5kW. (but plastering those same solar panels onto the roof would work considerably better still)

    30,000 KWh over a year (8760 Hrs) is an AVERAGE of 3.42 Kw. May be PEAK of 9Kw (We don't know, all we know is it 30MWh/yr).

    Even if it did work at 100% eff 3.5 Kw is not going to power the lighting for their factory let alone the whole factory !

  5. Turn port scan detection off on Ask Slashdot: How To Deal With a Persistent and Incessant Port Scanner? · · Score: 1

    Turn port scan detection off, its not on by defualt for a reason ! I look after several UTM 9's if I left portscan detection on I'd have thousands of emails a day. Its a fact of life today that you get scanned, make sure you do not open more ports than you need to and the backend servers are secure. Then forget about it.

    UTM 9 IS open source excep for the gui and FAR better and FAR more features than pfsense. Not even close to being in the same leuage. (no commercial interest, just a satisfied UTM 9 user (not customer))

  7. Re:No NAT??? on Ask Slashdot: How To Deal With a Persistent and Incessant Port Scanner? · · Score: 1

    Seriously? People still assign public IP's directly to PC's? Get a router. use NAT. these "Port Scans" (which may well not be port scans at all) shouldn't be making it anywhere near a PC in the first place.

    Seriously, did you research before posting ? UTM 9 IS a router and does NAT it is not a "PC"

  9. Sophs UTM ? on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 1

    Hi. If you're reasonably technically able the Sophos UTM has a great web filtering system and is free for home use. This can protect your whole network as well.
