IP has been reported on abuseipdb - work has blocked me - please help!

Hello everyone, I am pretty cyber security illiterate so I am unsure of what to do in this situation and am requesting guidance.

I have multiple individuals in my home and have recently discovered that my ip address had been reported multiple times on abuseipdb.com I am unsure of who or which device is acting maliciously and I am unsure of how to figure it out.

Due to the reports on abuseipdb, my employer has blocked the work VPN from being able to use my specific ip address and my isp is unwilling to change my ip (though the new ip address will probably also be reported if they were to change it) I am unsure of how to resolve this issue, and any guidance would be appreciated.

Client left me locked in their server cage, so I took a nap on the floor. Billing them for it

MSP guy here. Client had an incident so I got sent to their datacenter for the first time ever. Their gear lives in one of those big locked cages with a couple of racks in it.

Client's employee badges me into the cage, watches me start working, and then just... leaves. Turns out he assumed I had my own access card. I did not ,I just had a screwdriver and other tools.
Finished the actual work pretty fast. Walked over to the cage door. Locked.

Rattled it like a zoo animal for a bit. Nothing. Congrats to the client on their physical security I guess, it passed the pentest.

At this point, normally I would open my phone and start scrolling reddit, but no electronics was allowed inside either.

Assessed my options:

  1. Yell for help (foolish)
  2. Stand at the door making sad eye contact with a corner
  3. Sleep

I decided to take a nap on metal mesh. Couple hours later some DC tech walks past, sees an unconscious man inside the client's cage, and lets me out without asking a single question. Absolute legend.

I woke up and stood with a waffle pattern embossed on my body. Anyway, I logged the whole thing as on-site hours. Technically I have never been MORE on-site

A story of how I became antinatalist- a perspective from India

In India society works a bit differently, and not in a good way.

Some background info:
I studied in boys only school. In college we had segregation. There was strict rule from my parents to not talk to girls. One time they locked me out of house because of that.

I am almost 30 now and suddenly all those rules are not applicable? I keep getting pressured to marry often one way or another. I say no to her, she makes other relatives try to persuade me. 2 smoking guns:

  1. Once I was really frustrated with my manager and I told her I am quitting. Maybe it was a slip of words, but she said something along the lines of 'But I have invested so much into you'. It shook me.
  2. Not many weeks ago, she said some xyz family friend is in her homeland, and their son is evil because he does not take care of his parents. HE should basically be arrested.

Coming to yesterday, there are often young couples in park. She used to get disgusted by them but this time, she was completely indifferent and smiled at them even. It was so fun watching the mental gymnastics at play.

I am her only son. I will take care of her in old age, but I will rather face my old age alone with painkillers than create a person just to serve me.
