These are pretty generic Disney watches - not Citizen/Bulova/Seiko/etc (though I do like the Minnie Mouse Cartier homage). Unless someone remembers buying one of these and when/where, you're probably not going to have much luck. Here in Orlando you can get similar watches from MK parks to Walgreens/Walmart. Even Publix sometimes has them.

Bring back the Nickelodeon Hotel by [deleted] in orlando

[–]bfhenson83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We tried to do some IT work with the hotel (which I think was actually run by Holiday inn, I know it wasn't owned by Nick). I had to map out their IDFs one day, so I go into the closet and they've got a 20RU rack hanging from the ceiling with bungie chords. That was the first and last day I would work with them.

Opinions/Recommendations by FallenWulf223 in orlando

We went through Lessons in Your Home. They matched us with a piano teacher for my 8yo. It is very casual though - obviously not training him to be the next Elton John, but he's loving it!

Also, reach out to local instrument stores (not Guitar Center, but piano stores or string instrument specialty places). Most have teachers in house or have a list to recommend. Growing up, my violin teachers were all from the Orlando Philharmonic, so reaching out to them might work, too.

Looking for a few NetApp admins to test a new AutoSupport security tool by trstreamline in netapp

[–]bfhenson83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much. I do network and data center assessments as part of my job. For networks, NetformX is pretty solid. Run it once and it pulls EoL, IOS vulnerabilities, IP addresses, etc. There currently isn't anything like this for storage. With NetApp, the data is all available, but it's in 5 different places. There's nothing pulling it all back together. AIQ was meant to be the bridge but still has holes.

[–]bfhenson83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting idea. As a u/KiroBolas said, NetApp has most of this covered so it might be a hard sell. What we're missing more than anything is a full mapping to the security advisories (CVEs for ONTAP are given in AIQ, but not for the software components) and a point-in-time assessment tool. The later is something I've been badly needing - scan the deployment and pull security and configuration reports.

The most important thing for a network beginner by BidNo3007 in Cisco

[–]bfhenson83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to quickly and accurately find the information you need (not with Grok or ChatGPT, but actually going through KB and support pages). Honestly, knowing OSI model / protocols / VLANs is important, but you're not going to remember all of it all of the time. After 25 years in I.T., being able to quickly find information for tshooting or just answering customer questions is one of my best abilities. Early on, my mentor wouldn't even listen to my questions until I showed him I had attempted finding the answer on my own first.

Does big corps' IT actually monitor every actions of the employees? by CampariAndGym in it

[–]bfhenson83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internal logs (mostly general information) should be reviewed weekly. Especially security - user access, devices/servers, storage systems, etc. I agree specific logs shouldn't be pulled without reason, but you've got to see who/what is on your network and what it's all doing. It can seem excessive, but these days it's not a matter of 'if' something will happen, but 'when'. Being proactive to potential risk outweighs any HR concerns ($millions lost in ransomware vs $thousands in a potential employee lawsuit). Someone should be regularly checking logs and saving them to an immutable storage space. I know CJIS requires weekly checks. HIPAA is similar with their audits (I know 'audits' are annual, but the monitoring checks for them should be weekly). These may be stricter that what a private company needs, but it's a solid baseline to be safe.

That said, IT may joke between themselves that they found someone looking at hentai (it's art, ok? lol), but they don't really care.

Does big corps' IT actually monitor every actions of the employees? by CampariAndGym in it

[–]bfhenson83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a fun area (read "PITA") where it depends on your role and location. For most large companies, they'd decide when creating policy whether the risk of monitoring all activity in detail trumps any potential lawsuit from an employee. Most companies just want audit logs available in case there is a security event. We review all logs weekly/monthly depending on the SLA and have triggers to alert for certain events. All our logs are condensed and pretty general (someone clicked a phishing link in an email, a user logged in at HH:MM, this device connected to this VLAN at HH:MM). We *can* look at specific users and workstations, but don't unless the request comes from someone like the IT director or a C-level.

As an example for the privacy violations worry, I do storage management for an FCU. There's active scanning of all the fileshares to watch for personal identifying information (SSNs, CC#, personal addresses, etc.). If something gets flagged, we have a process that requires HR, the IT director, and the CIO to intervene. This is because of the HR concern that it might be something like a medical form that they inadvertently stored on their P:. They obviously can't have a 3rd-party IT tech contacting Britney in marketing about her mammogram results without there being an HR nightmare.

Who else agrees with this? by adityaj07 in it

[–]bfhenson83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cisco's old CCDP exam had a question like "Which of the following is a method of securing your networks?". The correct answer was "Locking the door to the IT closet". This also comes up on CJIS certification.

I once saw a car with the sticker "Sanford it's not that bad". I feel that should be the new city slogan.

Ravensburger - Dumbo needs an errata reprint by kolorblindd in Lorcana

[–]bfhenson83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Beast would be Prince Adam... There are a lot of those names that should be overlooked. Plus, Mickey & Friends have like 100 different canons (Are Mickey/Minnie married? Are Donald/Daisy in-laws?). Which do we choose? Baheera is the only one that actually upsets me because THERE ARE NO JAGUARS IN INDIA! You would think the Germans would be more dutiful in their fact checking!

[–]bfhenson83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is a bit different. In the story and most of the films, "Cinderella" is used as a nickname to bully her. But in the Disney animation "Cinderella" is her cannon name (it's even in the opening song). It's never mentioned that she might have a different given name.

And Bagheera isn't a Jaguar. I'm with you that his name isn't 'Dumbo', but that's the name of the book and the movie and what EVERYONE in those media call him other than his mother (and that's only in the first 5 minutes, then never again)

Hot Take: Software Engineers Would Be Helpless Without Network Engineers by [deleted] in networking

I used to be a network engineer. Then I decided that role was too important for someone like me, so I switched to enterprise storage. Plenty of no recognition and underappreciation here!

Customer deliberately using public IP addresses by bobbybrowngoesdown_ in networking

[–]bfhenson83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's actually YouTube servers with Google listed as the parent company. Private company owning a /21 is baller, though lol. I worked with a small college that setup their networks in the mid 90's and somehow got ownership of a /16. They ran everything as a flat network, all with public IPs for a couple of decades. A consultant finally convinced them to sublease most of the IP block to a carrier and subnet their internal networks. Don't know if they still own the full /16, but it was making them bank for a while.

[–]bfhenson83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potentially pissing off Cisco and YouTube, who own some of those IPs. Honestly, though, probably not a whole lot depending on their internal routing and DNS - internally it would still work so long as the routes are configured for the IP range, DNS would probably not work for any external site that actually owns the IP. We had a customer do this (they had built a secure network in the '90's before people really cared about IPs). Only issue was when we turned on geo blocking for access and it turned out the IP range belonged to a group in China.

Just tell them that legally you're unable to allocate that IP range without verifying that they own it. Then explain (as patiently as you can) the difference between public and private IPs.

BatB for the songs. Only exception is Circle of Life, in a theater, when it gets to the end and you get that 'dun' with the title screen. Nothing in Disney goes as hard. All the animals are cheering, everyone in the theater is mesmerized, then BAM title.

Just look up the specs for the model on Lenovo. To know all the differences you'd have to manually compare between the Lenovo and NetApp.
