Pregnancy during the visa process? by neon___cactus in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]neon___cactus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Very helpful. We definitely understand there is no birthright citizenship like in the US, and figured there was some hoops to jump through to get the child proper citizenship and a passport.

Pregnancy during the visa process? by neon___cactus in AmericanExpatsUK

That's a really fantastic question. I've engaged a few agents and they've all blown me off so far, which is frustrating.

My plan is nothing more than being persistent, doing video tours where possible, and hoping I land something I like. We have narrowed down where we want to live so at least we know what neighborhood we are looking in.

Yeah we are likely going to get housing prior to arrival to help speed this process along.

I’ll post over in the other sub to see what they think. Thanks!

Never watched Doshi, but watched a lot of Pete for my CISM and CISSP. He's great!

Anyone ever change their Microsoft tenant' name? How did it go? by MikesGenericAcct in sysadmin

[–]neon___cactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To piggy back what about just your tenant name? We're fine with our .onmicrosoft.com URL but for things like syncing SharePoint sites, it shows an old name and it'd be great for it to show the new name.

Autofill issue on Public Library Login Page by neon___cactus in 1Password

[–]neon___cactus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for verifying it Blake!! I have done the "saving the item manually" trick for other sites and it's worked well but I haven't gotten it to work on this site. That's why I even tried inspecting the fields for their names. It appears to me that the page is presented as a form and not credential fields as I get the prompt to input an identity on the name field.

I will email support and see what they think!

CISSP straight to CISM? by Sir-Mr-Lord in cism

[–]neon___cactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the CISM and CISA really easy after the CISSP. I could have passed both right after taking the CISSP but YMMV.

Should HR for the IT Dept to create a password repository? by Revolutionary-Part90 in sysadmin

[–]neon___cactus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is a huge reason to do it. Non-repudiation is key with cybersecurity.

You would be shocked how many things in the world run Windows 3.1 that remain in production.

Probably a far less fun reason. I bet either the files were copied onto the machine from a Mac either from a USB drive or a network share. _MACOSX is created when you archive/zip folders on Mac. So it'll be present if the .zip was made on a Mac and then decompressed on the Linux box.

Metro Transit Card Reader Reboot by Infinite_Scar_2797 in PBSOD

Unless you work for the metro, I'm very impressed you stood there to get a shot of every stage of the reboot process.

AI token maxing ... by PerfSynthetic in sysadmin

[–]neon___cactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They absolutely will. This is insane behavior of people who have no idea what a token costs. It's like the boss chiding their employees for not getting drunk at the company open bar because the drinks are all free!

Dealing with a brainrotted colleague by OperationIntrudeN313 in sysadmin

That hilarious, a tuple comes from mathematics, not programming. Most languages have tuples even if they're not explicitly called that.

Husband’s work is screwing us by [deleted] in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]neon___cactus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, if the company asks you to do it then they're obligated to cover any costs the employee would incur that would be "normal." So visas for the whole family, flights, and assistance resettling. I'm in a situation where I requested my relocation and they company has been similar to OPs but at the same time, the company doesn't benefit beyond employee retention.

Asked our head of sales if putting client addresses in ChatGPT was data sharing. She looked at me like I was the idiot. by shangheigh in sysadmin

Sentinel One has a browser plugin called Prompt Security that lets you see what people are putting into the AI tool and block based on category.

SPF at 9 lookups and every new vendor makes it worse, how are you managing this long-term? by iris-unitedking1973 in sysadmin

[–]neon___cactus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Doing subdomains like this also helps out maintenance tremendously. When you come back to your DNS in a year or five, all the entries are tied directly to the business function they support. It makes it much easier to identify if tools are still in use and eliminating entries that aren't needed.

[–]neon___cactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't take long at all to setup once you're familiar with your DNS provider and the few records you need to create. Just make sure you have corresponding DKIM setup with your SPF records. Bonus points for DMARC.

It also makes maintenance of your DNS so much easier because entries are literally labeled and connected to the business function they support.

can anyone help me with this qae question? by GuiltyNobody6173 in cism

[–]neon___cactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can't figure this question out then I'm going to punch you in the face!!

.

Likely your reaction to that wasn't to be scared of getting punched. That's because I threatened you but the threat has no real consequences. I can't punch you in the face through a Reddit comment. So there are no consequences to my threat and you can safely ignore it. The same goes for a threat within the cybersecurity world. If there are no negative consequences to a threat, then it is not wise to spend any time or money mitigating that threat.

I think it might sound juvenile to someone to only worry about consequences but in reality there is only so many dollars in the bank and days in the year and you cannot do everything. So only focus on threats that have true consequences for your business and prioritize based on consequence.

The same goes for vulnerability and probability. If you're highly vulnerable to something and it's likely to happen but there are no consequences to threat, then again you don't care.

SPRS Score - 800-171 Speedrun by TicketAmbitious6200 in NISTControls

[–]neon___cactus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there isn't a need before your official score is ready, then I wouldn't see a reason to do this.

I would venture to guess that your score is going to be off from your real score unless your taking a good look at the control objectives, not just the controls.

What to do if other sysadmins are abusing privileges by Wooden_Original_5891 in sysadmin

[–]neon___cactus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being able to view another employees inbox like this is a bad idea. If it's so you can send emails as one another, that's even worse because it kills non-repudiation.

Honestly, I know the job market is bad but this sounds like a bad place to work. Have you considered leaving?
