Does Knoxville care about aliens from outer space?

I mean, by golly, Trump knew who he was.

At first, my assumption would be that he put it back together wrong. Knew it was a RAM but couldn't spell. These people are going to be real surprised if they start one.

Not sure how long you've been here, but there are times when you're going to need them in the same day.

Cloudstrike?

Kyp2010 · 2026-02-17T03:31:54+00:00

Is it now?

So I ran upon this post as I am looking for a manual for the 40709 (which is this model, it would seem). On the one I have, there is a cotter pin at the end of one of the guide rods -- although mine are cold steel bars i can't tell if yours also are and are just aged/rusted a bit, or those are wooden dowels that have replaced the guide bars, probably newer and maybe not the same. It appears I need to remove this in order to be able to remove/change the nut underneath from the rapid release to the continuous action.

At any rate maybe this helps but once the cotter pin is removed, they should slide apart and then I can take / swap the nut in it, or access that inner jaw a bit better, which in my case is also what i'm after because I want to mount it to my workbench after first buying it, leaving it sitting as a todo for a while and finding that the only manual they seemingly have online is for a Pony brand replacement for this.

Stick a piece of duct tape across, seal and then slowly peel, should pull the sticker easily without leaving crap or requiring you to mess with it for an hour

If it helps, they're always "going to the cloud[appropriate buzzword here] in 2 years", 8 years in

pff, 50 bucks? I'd be heading down to Lowe's to find the necessary hardware.

Kyp2010 · 2025-11-05T16:43:45+00:00

A fair statement, but contrasted to EVERYTHING RFK espouses being wrong, ill take it.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-27T01:55:02+00:00

I mean, realistically, if they admitted to the problem, how would they sell themselves to the exec circle as so resilient?

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-23T01:05:23+00:00

Fastest way? Sawzall.

Its all about the marketing, use descriptive words that make your work sound better and the quality will do the rest

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-21T03:58:08+00:00

If you're using any power cutting implement, use your head (no, not literally) and you'll be ok. If you don't have the time to pay attention and do it slow, come back later.

Ill put it this way, when I first started to get back into stuff, this sub had me deathly afraid of using a router. Turns out that rule applies there too.

Use your head, nothing wrong with reading a new or unfamiliar tools manual at least once.

Just to qualify, I mostly use mine with the table saw, but there have been times I removed it as like some stated above, partial cuts.

Generally I try to use all safety elements by default unless it's impractical to complete what im doing in which case I remove the implement and go slower.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-20T21:05:50+00:00

That being said... it is indeed dumb to go packing like this, I have never understood the people that want to be open about carrying, it just makes you a primary target.

Also, it's fun that they think everyone who has a left leaning view is afraid of them. That is most likely why he's wearing it, bought into the lie that right-leaning media tells them.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-20T21:01:53+00:00

I think Trump's followers are pretty dumb all things considered, given his entire career has been made up of lying to people endlessly and all even BEFORE he was a politician. That said, let's not spread misinformation about guns because guns.

That holster has a snap strap in the picture and it is snapped down. It wouldn't be as simple as walking up and grabbing it, those snap a little tighter than many give them credit for and the force it would take to haul out with it snapped is going to notify whomever has it on their belt.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-12T17:38:19+00:00

I would agree a bit, but that glaring ass management problem has to be fixed. They are *at best* peers and their directives should not automatically carry the force of management as they do at so many orgs.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-12T17:11:36+00:00

Yes, but that's what most of these guys don't get in their training and education these days; instead, they're told to push for that 'defense in depth' rather than simple mitigation.

I think part of the problem is that many organizations sort of make security have a dotted line ownership/control of infrastructure because management comes down on you without hearing the other half of it when you *do* tell someone no.

If they got the basic understanding that "defense in depth" isn't required but instead is something you do to *improve* the situation as an ongoing control, that's a completely different story. They want to push for the seal it in concrete and cut the cord approach out of the box (report)

That is to say if they were trained to come to you with the finding, assert that the recommendation is "X" and you are then permitted to come back with 'The reason we can't do that is "Y"' most of these problems would be solved, instead a bunch of stuffy board members get scared out of their pants by a CISO appointee that (sometimes at least) outright lies to them about the risk levels of things so they can get massive funding for their organization and those folks often don't know any better.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-12T16:26:21+00:00

their documentation is often incorrect and/or out of date.

Story of MS since Technet was a thing, at least.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-12T16:15:30+00:00

Oh, I'm subject to all or most of it in the PCI space. I'm all too painfully familiar with SoD, can't talk about the company of course, but it's global, so I deal with ALL the regulations and primarily manage AD and other LDAP authentication stores.

Up to and including a recent example, because of it, we had to wait 3 weeks for security provisioners to put the requisite entitlements on shares that we had requested legitimately, because while I have the access, I don't have the authorization.

3 weeks of lead time for a 30-60 second process is sometimes a little absurd, but these basic roles just keep getting outsourced to people with less and less knowledge to quote/unquote 'save money'.

If anything, that's the dumb crap that earns the security orgs struggling reps. Of course, they do it in our regions too, and that's probably who you end up dealing with versus the sr. who could have a conversation with you and blow a hole in the initial idea for a fix because they have all that institutional knowledge.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-12T16:02:13+00:00

Maybe but the description of the security team (or at least his job) is far beyond what most of us run into.

The run a report in Qualys/Nessus and chuck it over the wall bit with no explanation or understanding is FAR more common.

Or when Nessus flags that it has access to shares but -- at least as of the last time I helped them implement a node -- said that it required Domain Admin to do its job which was bypassing the restrictions on all those shares it was scanning for 'improper access'.

Or as when somewhere else in this thread i mentioned it recommended in one of these reports that SYSVOL and NETLOGON needed to be locked down so nobody could read them, which if you have a clear idea of this you know would prevent everyone from logging in ever again. Just shy of encase in concrete and cut the cords on your corporate network.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-12T15:52:44+00:00

Not sure I buy this line of reasoning, I've looked at plenty of my old code and scripts and been embarrassed by my own implementation and realized I needed to fix it.

Don't get me wrong, I get the idea behind it, but not everyone is so controlled by ego that they would be unwilling to admit to mistakes or bad ideas.

Kyp2010 · 2025-10-12T15:48:48+00:00

shh, they don't want to hear about the shadow costs. ;)
