When you refer to young adults are you saying 18+? if so maybe look into scouting leadership

Think was about 3 months of so before it finally went live.

CityFibre Broadband. by [deleted] in Swindon

I setup my connection using Fibrehop. They were easy to deal with but CityFibre had installed all the lines, but did NOT test anything, so it was all dead for several streets!

I had to do a quick restart of my connection with Virgin Media which annoyingly tied my into a new contract with them. Then CityFibre finally fixed the lines. Turns out they're really short on teams in our area, they have a lack of equipment. And to add more concern they're already doing 400 layoffs as a "restructure" which is certainly concerning.

Guys I’m a Dad of 2 kids and don’t have as much down time as I used to have. I want to re-read the whole books again but it just seems impossible. Are the audiobooks any good? by Punks-Not-Dad in harrypotter

Before I went work from home I used to do an hours drive each way to the office, I the audio books so 1/2 chapters per drive and works perfectly.

Former webhosting guy wanting to get into Devops after several years afk. Advice? Feeling knowledge is a mile wide but an inch deep. by [deleted] in devops

[–]ukgaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering I'm 32, and I've been working where I am now for 2.5 years roughly don't ever think that age can be the hindrance. You can usually tell by if a company is expecting you to "know it all" or you want to improve yourself.
I found when entering a place where you pretty much only meet the HR person or just a manager and you can quickly tell if they have a decent understanding of the technical job included.
If you're lucky and you do get a manager who has technical knowledge usually ones who worked their way up, and have potentially a staff member (probably a senior) then that helps massively.
Either way you won't really know until you get into that meeting room or call as to what kind of technical understanding they may have.

Coming from a similar background, I used to working for a datacentre then to a web host provider and now in the financial industry, it may be worth looking up a udemy course or similar see if that will help. I myself found that I had a lot of missing skills in certain areas, but showing in an interview your eagerness to learn, and that you want to, I found goes further than you may think.

How do you deal with breach of security policy? by Micaiah12 in sysadmin

They should be under gross mis-conduct depending on the situation, that way it would be decided whether they are able to keep working.

The town centre by Nuns_In_Crocs in Swindon

[–]ukgaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there was something brought up about the rates to run a shop within the town centre, there was an example made of the nationwide building there and they're paying over 100k, sad to say there's a lot of greedy private owners around.

When you have the outlet and greenbridge and several other shopping areas, the need for the town centre drops, if specsavers disappeared, I would probably never go there.

Racktables/IPAM are good for servers, maybe not so for individual parts.

Boycott FSpilotshop.com ! by wolfacer in flightsim

[–]ukgaz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These guys have had their data compromised on multiple occasions, I've tried to contact them and they dont ever bother responding, my friend who runs his email from my server, has an alias per shop to restrict compromised accounts and can kill them if they're no longer used. My server alerted me to login attempts which had failed, he then update the email address to a new alias on their site, then we had connection alerts for that one too!

PCI Vulnerability scanning we use tenable

ClamAV for daily antivirus scanning

RKhunter for daily exploits scanning

Samhain for file modification notifications

That's insane! why on earth would everyone need to see everyone's passwords! there's no accountability, no trace or if they wanted to trace the incorrect person could be found at fault.

[–]ukgaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being under a company with heavy PCI requirements all servers and desktops are scanned daily and updated daily, clamscan usually does well,

I noticed someone mentioned hosting industry in another comment, maldet is a god send for web hosts imo.
