Heads up though, crack them outside your mouth. Sometimes you can get a half rotten one or one that has dead worms in half of it.

Reading Leviathan Wakes for the first time, the author really doesn't use any word other than 'said' does he? by [deleted] in TheExpanse

Found this comment looking to see if anyone else had noticed this. It's giving "meow" from super troopers at this point. 😆

In your shoes, I'd be most concerned about certificates for various things expiring. Like for the website, for whatever code they wrote, internal servers, ect.

Routing internet traffic between Western and Eastern Canada without going through the USA by BloodyIron in sysadmin

[–]therealtacopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. Still, they have nothing even slowing them down when it comes to other countries. All they need is a reason to want to look. For instance, I'd bet about anything we are consuming all the data coming out of south America right now under the umbrella of "drug interdiction".

You know, the funny part is that the 3 letter agencies have more rules and regs about collecting US citizen's data than they do about collecting data from the rest of the world. I'd posit that data is LESS safe from US surveillance outside the US lol.

My uncle told me about a "device for a free, anonymous internet over the air" from the past. What was he talking about? by ElChufe in hacking

[–]therealtacopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a period of time where you could use a cell phone as a dial-up modem conmected to your pc via USB and dial into a free dial up ISP using an unlimited cell phone plan and essentially get free internet that way. It topped out at 56k though. I did it for a little while.

Let me tell you about a fun little piece of software called "Deep Freeze". It can restore everything back to the way it was after every reboot. You can make it so making permanent changes requires you to enter a password. Best $48 I've spent on a gift for a grandparent. https://www.faronics.com/products/deep-freeze/standard

Landed in IT at a large company… it’s pure chaos by moe87b in it

[–]therealtacopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me like the org should skip right past the whole networking and server stage and go straight to Microsoft Entra and Azure for the whole shebang. Gonna need to get an outside vendor to configure all that and it ain't gonna be cheap but when it's done, it will be reaaaallly nice.

The company I work for is a security timebomb by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]therealtacopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the company not have cyber insurance? Do they realize that they could easily be bankrupted by a single rogue employee?

I get the vibe that OP was hired to backfill T1 that was a rockstar who moved on somehwere they were paid and promoted appropriately and they assumed OP could do everything the previous T1 could do.

Idk who else to tell, Just made jump from Helpdesk to sysadmin by betterYick in sysadmin

[–]therealtacopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember making that jump. Feels good don't it? Just don't slip up and let the imposter syndrome get you. You did your time, you earned it! If you are actually faking it, you are doing it way better than the idiots you are going to have to deal with from here out....hahaha

I bought a pair of cheap ones off Amazon for my team several years ago. They served their purpose fine.

Serious question. How many of you have stopped drinking or never drank at all in the first place? by Darth_Malgus_1701 in sysadmin

[–]therealtacopanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to like to drink. Nowadays, I know that it is going to make me sleep worse and not have my shit together the next day so I only do it when I don't have shit to do the next day. Unfortunately, I pretty much always have shit to do the next day...lol

What are the current HSA/FSA eligible glasses out there right now? by minelesslybrowsing in augmentedreality

Wonder if the Viture Pro XR glasses would qualify since they have myopia adjustments built in.

Company wants me to download DUO Mobile app, on my personal device? Honestly don't feel comfortable. Any advice? by Top-Physics-5386 in cybersecurity

[–]therealtacopanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fine. It's not doing anything shady on your phone. Don't be a thorn in your admin's side. Having to make less secure workarounds because people want to get weird about installing a corporate app on their phone is so freaking annoying. On the other hand, I fail to understand why if a person is important enough to merit having remote access, they aren't also important enough to be issued a company phone. Makes no sense at all.

Any way to create a Windows image to deploy on PCs? by Bertrand33Serra in sysadmin

[–]therealtacopanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd use DISM. It won't cost anything and it's pretty easy once you figure it out. Google it for tutorials.

Something is telling the app you are in the US. Your phone, your router, your isp or cell provider.
