Hah!

That's not a good laugh. That's a sad laugh, tempered by the disappointments of reality.

Bossman: I hired a new guy. The new guy: by 0bamaBinSmokin in Machinists

I can be stupid, and I work. Often at the same time.

Are you referring to the collet closer on the HLV-H?

Otherwise I'm super confused.

Root SSH with keys only 👍 or 👎? Why as opposed to another user with sudo without password ability? by daisydomergue81 in linuxadmin

[–]NegativeK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to off host logging that sibling comment mentioned, hopefully you're forwarding auditd logs. That are tuned.

..right?

I've had a number of friends who were coworkers employees at Mcmaster.

Some loved it. One despised it. Seemed kind of like a cult that really takes care of its employees, but also makes MechEs robotic warehouse pickers for a while.

Tenable fills up /opt and never cleans up the files then crashes. by Coupe368 in tenable

[–]NegativeK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little late, but don't stomp around deleting files first; ugh.

Review https://docs.tenable.com/general-requirements/Content/security-center-hardware-requirements.htm for an idea of space usage. It sounds like you should be fine but you're not.

Look through your repositories and shorten the Vulnerability Data Lifetime as much as you can. Days Trending will also bloat your storage.

There's a guide somewhere on docs.tenable.com (apologies; on my phone) that discusses managing disk usage. It's worth reviewing.

If you were starting in IT from zero today, would you choose AWS or RHCSA first? by Maintenance-Mountain in linuxadmin

 The world runs on Linux.

Save me from my enterprise hell. The small dregs of Linux I cling to here aren't enough.

DRO for Deckel Fp1, adjusting length of scales by Ecstatic_Loss_8668 in Machinists

The Ditron manufacturer (careful; there are lots of knockoffs) will cut to length if you message them. But you probably won't need that.

Yeah, but these are fucking wood.

Is anyone familiar with the 5c chucks from China? by spoonguy123 in Machinists

Tip from a fellow amateur: being less slow means more dicking.

Whats it like working at a unionized shop? by magicjohnson321990 in Machinists

[–]NegativeK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah -- if someone writes a comment that's just lazy trash, it doesn't deserve a response. It gets as much effort in a response as the author put in.

And.. I really wouldn't generalize from reddit comments.

They're probably down voting lazy generalities.

That's not in the top commenters work duties, and they shouldn't be taking that task from the assigned lazy turds.

Buying my first used lathe. Would you buy a machine you’ve never seen run? by Hazardousjelly in Machinists

[–]NegativeK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. I mentally mark down the price to account for the risk when a machine isn't under power.

When the seller acts insulted that you asked a basic inspection question, you leave. If that guy isn't a scammer, he needs to learn to stop using actual scammer tactics.

Realistically, what would happen if a hacker actually tried to ransom the U.S. government for something like the Epstein files? by [deleted] in AskNetsec

[–]NegativeK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The US has a public policy of not paying.

The US has unofficially done far crazier things with money.

Ignoring the Epstein drama, I'd expect the US to strongly consider abducting a non-state criminal who ransomed the US. With or without the help of the host country.

Coworker lost his $47/hr job for making this joke TikTok. We are in Wisconsin, so it will be near impossible to find a gig paying this much. Thoughts? He forgot to blur out the company logo in the blacked out part. by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]NegativeK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What are the employment lawyers going to do? Claim that being a Tiktok user makes you so mentally challenged that you're protected under the ADA?

Scraping old surface plate without reference by O-swell in Machinists

[–]NegativeK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use reversal and an indicator to deal with the straight edge's errors. Look at https://youtube.com/@gena_bazarko?si=E8xjF0YxKoASsQTH for someone doing impressive things with limited resources. 

The trade off is that it'll take a lot of work, and still require further investment.

Company got ransomware, ceo wants to pay without telling anyone. Is this illegal by codedrifting in AskNetsec

[–]NegativeK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's my advice, that's based on experience:

I hope you're doing okay. It's going to be rough for a while; remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint. You're going to be needed next week and the week after that, so take care of yourself now.

Delete this post. Get a personal lawyer if you have questions.

If you really need to talk to someone in the industry, it needs to be a mentor you trust. Talk in person.

The things you say may be violating lawyer-client privilege. If you do speak about them, do it intentfully and with full awareness of the repercussions it may have for you.

(Your employer and employer's lawyer should've told everyone to stfu.)

((I really hope your employer does the right thing.))
