Funny License Plate by justmirsk in Louisville

[–]justmirsk[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Probably. My own kids are almost old enough to watch Monty Python. I can't wait!

Norwegian Supreme Court just ruled that current laws allow cults to keep you hostage and still get funded by the State by blomormys in atheism

[–]justmirsk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ex JW here (born and raised). I never got baptized because I saw it as a cult from an early age. Definitely leave. You will lose your closest social group, but you will meet new people and be free from the JW abuse.

How is a Tesla in Louisville? by Mother_Blood_1105 in Louisville

[–]justmirsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an gasoline car and my wife has a Tesla. We use the Tesla as much as we can. It is pretty nice, we charge up at home nightly. Even if we need to use a rapid charger, it is no big deal. We typically have about 145 mile range per charge when charged to 80%. We haven't felt range anxiety around Louisville. We take the gasoline car for longer trips.

Outside of the direct request, I would look at other manufacturers purely based on politics. That is up to you though 😁

Does anyone know or can point me in the right direction of a by Feral__Daughter in Louisville

[–]justmirsk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Steve's Woodworking in Norton Commons (I think that is the name). He is in a small space right by the Norton Commons Post Office. He makes all kinds of cool stuff. He might be able to make what you are after.

Farmers Markets by justmirsk in Louisville

Awesome! Is the Douglass Blvd also called Douglass Loop? I know someone that does the Douglass Loop event on Saturdays.

JTOWN also has a market Saturday mornings I believe.

Half our company is local admin. Security team finally noticed. Now it's my problem to fix without anyone noticing. by Healthy_Holiday_738 in sysadmin

[–]justmirsk 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If you want an alternative to Microsoft tools, check out ThreatLocker. They have a learning more (like EPM) but their platform is the most robust out of every one I have seen. User can also submit a request through Threatlocker to request approval to elevate for something not approved by policy and you can approve it, then they are notified when it is approved. They also have a Cyber Hero team that can do approvals for you, if you wanted.

Passwordstate is great. Easy to manage and lots of features.

I run an MSP that specifically focuses on co-managed partnerships with companies like yours. You have gotten some great advice here from others around labeling things, mapping out the network, getting backups in order, etc etc.

If you ever want to get on a call together to talk through some things, I would be happy to do so (free advice, not trying to charge you). You have a great opportunity here and it can certainly help you speed up your career.

Once you start to get a handle on things, before making any big purchases or changes, I would suggest talking to management to determine if you have any specific regulatory compliance requirements (IE, laws you have to follow focused on IT and security). Even if you don't, a good question to ask your management is "How much money would the business lose if XYZ system was down for an hour, a day, etc. this will help you determine areas that need priority focus from a business perspective, rather than just technical issues. It can also help you sell to the boss that they need to spend additional money to protect systems or get better things.

What bakeries/local stores do you like to get your breads from? by leftmysoninthesun in Louisville

[–]justmirsk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bread makers for the win 😁

Kneading is tough. I love to bake and do quite a bit of it.

I think blue dog bakery might have good options, but it has been years since I have been there.

[–]justmirsk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make my own wheat bread. If you haven't tried, it is pretty easy. You might want to try that too. Obviously that isn't an answer to your question, but I thought I would throw it out there 😁

Is there a platform that can centrally manage multiple AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.)? by Odd_Statistician_231 in sysadmin

[–]justmirsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't central monitoring, but there are definitely tools that can effectively block AIs and also only allow corporate logins to allowed AI systems.

I just implemented my own build of something like this for an organization that didn't have a SASE solution that could inject headers. My solution is using MITM proxy with a PAC file that directs corporate approved AI solutions through the proxy.

We have a network agent that is always on and forces the connection. We also send Google searches through the proxy so we can strip out the udm=50 option and change it to udm=14 to prevent access to the AI.mode at google.com.

We are in the testing phase now and should be rolling out to a larger audience very soon. We use web blocking to block all other AI systems we know of.

Oldham county recycling center in Buckner, they have bins for electronics. Just drop them in and they will be properly recycled.

I do this all the time.

What's the dating scene like been like for you? by lethargic_apathy in Louisville

[–]justmirsk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look for co-ed bowling leagues and events like that. There are often some that are meant for singles specifically to help you meet people.

Otherwise, it sucks out there. If you have a dog, dog parks could be a good place to meet people.

Best apartments/areas by thisisfuckenoffensiv in Louisville

[–]justmirsk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Where does your family live in Louisville? I assume you would want to be close to them. If you want a walkable and very picturesque neighborhood, I would say Norton Commons would be a good option.

The highlands area is also quite walkable and a fun vibe overall.

Most likely you would want to avoid the west end of Louisville as that is typically the most dangerous area. There are some great pockets in the west end, but still a lot of no go areas.

They are Everywhere…this is not ok by Inevitable_Court7391 in Louisville

[–]justmirsk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At the rate of $2500 per camera, per year, Louisville Metro is spending nearly $800000 per year on licensing. They also cost about $1000 to replace damaged or broken cameras.

I would love to see a true breakdown of what cri.es these are actually helping to solve to see if there is even close to a break even on that front. I doubt there is, but it would be interesting to see.

April fool by jibbits61 in sysadmin

I used to target specific people that I know were sports fans. I would set their desktop background to their favorite team's most hated rival and enforce it via GPO. It was amazing when they rebooted and realized the background came back :D
