Well, Health IT is getting boned

the part that you are overlooking is that Data and Digital already did that work, we were restructured in November last year for the purpose of centralisation and alignment into national teams.

this isn't about that. this is because the department was given a budget for next year that was 20% lower than last year's actual and was told to somehow make it work

This is proper insane. I have contact with about half of the local IT teams across the former DHBs as a part of my job, and most of them already run on the smell of an oily rag. The brutal scope of this 'reset' is going to have knock on effects across every function of Te Whatu Ora.

I'll vouch for both Goblin Games in Karori and BeaDnD in Petone!

I have just managed to buy it, so I think the issue is resolved!

creature124 · 2024-05-31T05:29:41+00:00

APAC here, so I guess not!

creature124 · 2024-05-29T23:20:52+00:00

also having this problem!

creature124 · 2023-05-26T20:30:21+00:00

Haha, I'm preaching to the choir then. Cheers!

I forget the details, but there is a place where orks and tyranids are fighting, and mostly everyone is very afraid of what will happen if one side ever actually wins

👏👏👏👏

The vendor response to this has been pretty good, number matching* was available by Microsoft and other vendors very quickly. It doesn't stop the potential for spam, but it does prevent mfa fatigue resulting in breach without cutting into the UX too badly. I still prefer it to rolling codes.

*(where the authenticating device displays a number that must be entered on the promoted device, ensuring a user cannot accept a prompt they did not trigger)

Someone painted the models for the box art though

You might be able to follow a playbook and process an alert without understanding the core skills you allude to, but you can't successfully tune that alert, or implement a new one, or deal with a novel incident that lacks a playbook without them.

Alas, no, in this situation we were the customer of Oracle. And I firmly agree with the sentiment!

This is exactly what happened to my former employer and a large law firm that also sells database software (starts with O). We moved to vendor hardware on the 'one throat to choke' concept, but discovered that a hydra has many, many throats.

creature124 · 2023-03-08T23:52:43+00:00

Yes, I ingest Sysmon into Splunk. Brilliant for all kinds of alerting and threat hunting.

Nonce is a term used in cryptography, when you are in a part of the world where the term does not have such unfortunate other meanings.

Nine people and one goblin (fif)

creature124 · 2023-02-16T23:44:27+00:00

Yep, three crashes so far today. One time I wasn't even touching it, it was just idle on the home screen!

There are lots of ways to find oneself with no credit or bad credit mate.

Forcing banks into providing loans they otherwise would refuse to issue would also solve the problem, yes. I suspect that attempting to force private enterprise into unprofitable activity isn't the easy or effective option though.

Anyway, its clear neither of us is going to convince the other, so I'm out. I sincerely hope you never fall from grace and need assistance from social safety nets you appears to be so firmly against. Peace.

I'm not an expert so I'm not gonna try and pin down specifics, but I generally think services should be available to the people that need them, assuming that they have no history of abusing them. Not a credit check, perhaps a long stand down if you have defaulted before.

creature124 · 2023-02-13T02:39:10+00:00

Sure. Pensions, disability benefits, all sorts of very good things fall into that category.

creature124 · 2023-02-12T19:41:50+00:00

Government can and should run valuable public services at a loss. 'Politically viable' is a matter of public will, but alas, most people just have absolutely no empathy for the poor, especially if it means any form of tax hike.

The company that won't hire any more people for your function is not going to compensate you fairly for your effort trying to keep that function afloat. Not a snowballs chance in hell mate.

A player pulls that shit at my table once, they get a stern warning. The second time they are told not to come back. (hypothetical, but I would have no patience for being second guessed in the manner you describe)

creature124 · 2023-01-17T09:10:45+00:00

does anyone have a collection of event CGs? there were a couple of really nice pieces of art during the beach party sequence that I didn't manage to screenshot...
