🔐 Securing Network Switches: 5 Essential Authentication Protocols
In the realm of network security, authenticating access to switches is paramount. This blog delves into five critical authentication protocols that bolster switch security:

IEEE 802.1X: Implements port-based access control, ensuring devices authenticate before gaining network access.

RADIUS: Centralizes authentication, authorization, and accounting, streamlining user management.

TACACS+: Offers granular control over administrative access, separating authentication and authorization processes.

LDAP: Facilitates directory-based authentication, integrating with various directory services for user verification.

Thanks for all you do!

Good thing I took a random look at the #TechHub servers today. For some reason, the database replica was not working anymore. I'm rebuilding it as I write this.
FYI we rely on daily backups + hot replica in case of failure of the main server, so this would have been problematic if something happened.
All good folks, keep on tooting :)

Federal funding for a regional Tech Hub that aims to develop advanced composite materials for #aerospace and other high-tech applications has been put on hold - resulting in protests from elected officials in Washington state. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/spokane-aerospace-tech-hub-loses-grant/ #Tech #Composites #TechHub #Spokane

For #BlackHistoryMonth, #TechHub has changed our Info-Page Banner to include #ElijahMcCoy.

This isn't an amazing image, just something I threw together for @nicdex to put up, because I felt that putting up Elijah #McCoy's picture reflects who we are, what we stand for, and our thoughts on the world today.

Elijah McCoy's parents escaped from #enslavement in the #US in the early-1800s, gaining asylum in #Canada, and he was born in #Ontario in 1843. Being what we would now consider a "gifted" child, his parents saved money to send him to Scotland to study #engineering when he was 15.

He returned to the US after the Civil War, but could not find work as an engineer due to #racism and #segregation practices: anti-#discrimination programs like #DEI and the #EEOC, had not been established, so opportunities for even the most qualified #black men were scarce, passed up for even less qualified #white men.

Thank you for everything you do!

#techhub #donations

We finally have our new bank account :D.
I am slowly moving our donations to the new bank account and once everything is ready I will be re-opening the donations page again.
I'll post an update once it's ready.
#techhub #donations

I'm taking a break from social media and news for a few days. This #tariffs situation is really making me mad. Personally I won't be much affected, but a lot of hard working #canadians and #americans will be. I still can't believe he went forward with it.
I will keep working on getting the bank account and donations platforms back online for #TechHub, other than that I need a break.
See you later Fediverse.

On the same note. Once I get the account approved I'm setting up:
- Patreon
- Paypal
- Stripe

Respond to this or DM me if you'd like another alternative.

#techhub #donations

Update on TechHub donations... We are still waiting on the bank account to get everything setup again.
I'm not sure what is taking #BMO so long to approve our new bank account. I went in person, signed everything, had all documents and my identifications.
You can open bank account online almost instantly now a days... 🤷

Just wanted to chime in on behalf of TechHub Moderation.

H1B Holders are PEOPLE, not policy.

Simply being against the POLICY of issuing #H1Bvisas is not something we can do anything about as moderators: discussion of immigration law is protected political speech, and legitimate conversation. However, it is NOT ok for anyone to attack #H1B Holders themselves, and especially not to refer to them as "H1Bs".

H1B holders are just workers trying to get by, following the rules and getting a legal #visa through legitimate means. Even if the government is issuing too many, and even though companies will always try to exploit them, these people do not have power here and this is in no way their fault.

"They" are not "actively harming" anyone. The System is.

Hate Speech against H1B holders themselves, or ANY group of #immigrants, is not allowed on TechHub, or the mainstream Fediverse in general, and will be dealt with accordingly.

Just wanted to make that clear.

- #TechHub #Moderation

Bonjour! #TechHub has finished moving servers from the #US to #Quebec in #Canada, ensuring our ability to remain a space for (mostly) #FreeSpeech and an alternative to billionaire run #SocialMedia, without as much worry about interference of far-right authoritarian governments.

Still working on some of the migration, including work-in-progress translations of some of this stuff to French, Spanish, and Portuguese, but that's on the way, and the server is now located in Canada.

#TechHub #Moderation is getting a high volume of reports right now, so it's good that we just added another mod and we're getting ready to add some more. I think these spikes in #spam activity correspond to increased interest in #Mastodon and the #fediverse, because they correspond to new users showing up.

If y'all non-mods see new users saying hi, be sure to welcome them and give them #FediTips about things like following hashtags and posting an #introduction: users who have a friendly and helpful experience early on tend to stick around, and have a positive experience in general. We could use more people doing that, and you don't have to be staff to help grow the Fediverse!

Copy-pasting this from the closing announcements...

Anyone who still needs to move is welcome to come to #TechHub.social: we are standing by and ready to receive new users!
