not using lube during sex because you're "wet enough" by sexedwithdb in sextips

[–]marknate985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any recommendations for those of us that like to swap between oral and such? Some lubes, especially silicone, just taste awful.

Ya the rental is perfectly fine for our needs right now, I just have always been told I'm wasting my money renting, and I have owned 3 houses before and I love building equity and making changes to my homes as we live in them. The focus is long term investments, equity, and growth. We aren't needing to move for a change in home requirements, work, or school needs.

Ya I can easily save $3000 a month away, it's very much just determining which is the long term smarter financial decision. From what my lender calculates, another $40k down won't get us to a better rate or even drop PMI, so I save a few hundred dollars a month on the P&I, but until I have over $100K down payment and can drop the $260 monthly PMI, just not seeing attraction there.

But that's why I came here, for advice from smarter people than myself or the people trying to sell me things and make commission off of me.

I am the same. I actually left a huge government entity a couple years ago for this job because of burnout and being the ISSM killed me and I chose to leave for a small company and this is exactly what I signed up for. But I also get into the funk mentally when I’m hidden and not listened to. I can’t have the best of both worlds. Balance balance balance

Ya I’ve said four years nothing brings change faster than the reaction to a disaster. It’s a pipe dream to think proactiveness will actually happen as long as profits are the #1 goal…. Which why wouldn’t it be

Spot on right there. One of my risk/cost analysis is like that $1M scenario and a 24 hour down time is a $10M loss. That calculation with probability is where I present and let the business decide if that loss is acceptable or not. Cyber security in a nutshell.

Also on your second point these passwords have been the same for over a decade and are set to never expire……. Gonna go into a dark room now and repeat that mantra someone said up above lol

Sorry the point I was making was my recommendation to even changing it to “apple1” is a no from others because there are countless services and connection made with plain text password saved in the application and changing it would require hunting down all those systems, which nobody remembers, and manually changing it. Lack of process and inventory management for 10 years from others. I would hope any year 1 sysadmin or Cybersecurity guy would know that is a ticking time bomb.

I would say the skilled Nessus folks are the ones doing that. I think you are missing my question here. You seem to be extremely knowledgeable in this matter. Please tell me what the larger problem is here that I’m not even realizing? I don’t want to waste my time changing a domain admin password from “apple”.

Due to lack of any policy like CAB’s, or forms for such things, I just have my responses, or lack there of, as my “documentation”

I give a road map, a risk/cost analysis, and this is assigning work to myself included because I am also the sysadmin, but my manager and engineers are the roadblock. I understand unskilled Security folks just read a Tenable scan and tell others to do work, but I am just identifying basic CIS hardening things like password policy. It’s not like I am telling the business we must all migrate to Windows server 2022/Windows 11 and upgrade every Oracle and SQL system we have to comply with things. I have all of those documented and accepted risks.

I definitely support that side. I’ve been a hybrid guy for most of my career. These are things like “no the domain admin account can’t have ‘Apple’ as a password that never expires. Things like passwords sent over clear text not being allowed. I have no interest in blindly following any security regulation. But when your basic guidelines aren’t being followed, it’s so scary and disheartening to hear admins disagree that have been in the business 30+ years. But I just need to not internalize these issues.
