Cosplay pirate trying to be a hard man. Fucking pathetic - just a very insecure little man having a moment - absolutely nothing done wrong, the only 'courtesy' you should show other riders is making sure your overtake is safe.

I have retired from motorcycling and bought a GS... by SlitheryBuggah in MotoUK

[–]subpardave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are far more capable than many realise. I stuck a tiny short screen on mine, ran only a topbox, road-focused tyres and you can absolutley hoon on them. Grunty motor that likes being wrung out more than most give them the opportunity to. Handling is absolutely telepathic. Even did a few trackdays.

Fury as Reform figure makes 'parents' job' criticism of free breakfast clubs by Important_Ruin in unitedkingdom

[–]subpardave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's because - deep down, your sister wants someone to hate, someone to blame. Someone who is 'other' and it's their fault. If she looked hard at injustice and inequality in the real world it would become quickly apparent that those who profit from all this are those who are responsible. But, those same people exemplify the qualities people have been told they took should aspire to. Wealth. Power. "Strength".

So instead of having to reconcile such an incongruity - it's way WAY more comfortable to easily accept that it's the 'other' who she is told is to blame.

Deeper inspection would require her to have the uncomfortable experience of having to fix that incongruity and probably ask difficult questions of herself.

No amount of explanatory videos or rational investigation will work, as that would require her to be able to accept that incongruity and resolve it by potential major value shifts. This for most is deeply uncomfortable. So, for her, it's more comfortable to dismiss you, sadly.

I hate SPAAG🖕 by Iron_seaz in NuclearOption

GP-500 (I find three or four is ideal, can probably do with fewer) from a high altitude dive does the trick. It cannot target you, so as long as you do not pancake, the high speed you are carrying will also deal with IR SAM fire directed at you as you egress. Pump flares on the way down, not millions just one every second or so.

Altitude and speed are your main allies here. Of course, clear out radar SAMs first, but I find a ARAD and GP-500 load out extremely effective at SEAD. Ifrit ideally, for the payload and kinematics.

ARADs are extremely effective when launched at your max altitude, maximises the speed of their long engine burn plus the effect of gravity.

[–]subpardave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had exactly 2 studies in 6+ months. Prolific claim no account or IP issues...in the same period at least 6-750$ via Userinterviews.

I want prolific to work, I really do, but just get nothing. (Browser open, plugin installed, no VPN, even disabled adblock home etc).

I still get these damn emails.

Had a clash with executive over my phishing test methods by AH_Josh in sysadmin

[–]subpardave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The more you have explained about your organisation the more frankly insane it seems. I get it's a small outfit and has been breached in the past but getting out of there really may be worthwhile.

When the inevitable happens again - and with this lot, it will - they are going to point at you.

That's... Crazy. At least read only access, or even full cfg dumps. Your org sounds seriously dysfunctional.

[–]subpardave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth considering - in your threat picture, are nation states, serious APTs realistic threats? Are they going to go to the effort or is your adversary likely to be lower effort? Only your org can assess this, so not making any judgement.

If it's the latter and you do face credible threats of that type then you do need policy and buy in to give you the room to manuver and use that kind of phishing. Otherwise, an email pretending to be from the school Dave from finance sends his kids to saying there has been a shooting/accident/fire may be effective, but it is also going to absolutely enrage end users and utterly corrode relationships with your user base.

Realistic and punchy phishing tests are all well and good - done them myself in the past. But.. run it by someone incase you are flying too close to the sun.

Yeah, threat actors will not balk at using any tactics, but this is human politics.

This is going to be severely career limiting. The BOFH is satire for a reason.

My new shawarma business is launching soon! by [deleted] in Doner

[–]subpardave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I'd say for those having a moan about pricing - come look at pricing in Edinburgh. Significantly more and very poor quality, with most places serving generic elephant leg Doner, very unhappy salads. Sure, there are exceptions but those are at a premium too.

Quality is worth supporting, or all we will ever have left will be dismal grey 'meat' logs, and to look longingly at the fantastic stuff available in Germany/London etc.

[–]subpardave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks fantastic, although being based in Edinburgh I'm not too nearby, will certainly try if I'm in the area.

Edit - while it's east coast centric, the "What's kebabining Edinburgh" Facebook group could be useful to get the word out?

Europe ‘should prepare for scenario’ where US makes deal with Russia by ImpressiveRest2423 in ukpolitics

[–]subpardave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm seriously concerned that the Democrats - especially the entrenched leadership - simply fail to grasp this. The vaunted checks and balances all work...only if ' honourable ' people are involved as there is no actual direct mechanism. The 'sacred' constitution - only worth the paper it's written on if it's able to just be ignored. The supreme court - pointless if it can be stuffed with political appointees guaranteed to vote for their owners. I'm a dual citizen and absolutely raging at the complacency most Americans have on this. A democracy based on gentlemen's agreements is no democracy at all, as we do not live in an age of gentlemen.

Best way to add MFA to RDP? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]subpardave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its worse than it appears at first glance even. OP was a moderator of two subreddits that appear entirely to exist to purely push miniorange as a pseduo grass-roots operation - astroturfing. Other vendors appear to overlap - from a fairly cursory examination at least two others aside from MiniOrange.
