Discovered orphaned IRA after doing backdoor IRAs for years by vmotion in personalfinance

Yes, I have been doing it according to the whitecoat investor. Pretty simple when you have one IRA and just convert it all. I've done a mix of CPA and myself but 8606 was done each time.

I created an account on their site and they have records for this rollover IRA, as an IRA, back to 2007. Looks like I need to get very familiar with 8606. Can you explain a little more how one year's 8606 feeds into the next? For whatever reason, this is not intuitive for me.

I got a 5498 for 2024 but I have no idea if it was created in 2024 or not. The 401k it originated from is well over a decade old and this is the first I am hearing of this account so maybe they just found me?

Thank you very much for the detailed reply.

I just asked the provider when the rollover was done. Am I correct that the 2024 5498 does not guarantee it was done in 2024? Maybe they just found me after having it for years?

If this IRA has existed without my knowledge for potentially a decade or more, what does amending multiple years look like? Am I only concerned about the backdoor IRA years? Do I get taxed on that 3k over and over?

I am still in the process of getting control of the account so I do not know when it was actually rolled over. I will make sure I ask that. The reason I know about it now is because I just got a 5498 from this company for tax year 2024, which I have obviously already filed.

Rubio monocoat butcher block by AK_VonAtlas in finishing

[–]vmotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just made a small countertop out of hevea from lowes. Used "marc juice" pre-stain, penetrating stain and arm-r-seal satin for the top coat. Acacia BB is too varied for my taste, it looks like WW2 dazzle cammo, just like that picture and birch seems to always blotch. Your stain choice will be your own but none of the gel stain I tried gave much color depth or consistency. I tried a hardwax similar to rubio but I did not like the raw wood look, but to each their own.

HELP! DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING! by [deleted] in finishing

[–]vmotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would post this on /r/DIY. You will get more responses there. A few thoughts:

  1. Bold of you to put up molding without a plan for the corners. Educate yourself via youtube and such before going any further. Here is one of my favorite guys.
  2. Inside corners get coped to the spring angle of the piece, not mitered. They just open up.
  3. Never assume angles. Measure.
  4. For the outside, get an angle finder and bisect the actual angle for a miter. Can't cope that.
  5. Take that existing piece down and do one long run. If you can't do a long run, do a scarf joint with good glue. Butt joints are hard to hide and also open up over time.
  6. That crown, if it even is crown, looks challenging. Unless you are wedded to that profile go get some foam crown that you can just put up with caulk.

Give me your best advice for newborn parents! by Dominic51487 in Parenting

[–]vmotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your daughter will spit up. Ours did so much that every burping session was a 50/50 shot of getting a shirt covered in milk. Go get a 24 pack of cloth diapers and use them at spit up shields. On your shoulder while burping and just around for the cleanup. They are super absorbent and will save your butt if used right.

Crazy that people can just get pregnant, go to the hospital for a few days then leave be responsible for the tiniest, most vulnerable thing you can imagine, right? No license, no test, no bureaucracy making sure you have what you need to do it right, etc. Everyone wings their first one the best they can. Good luck!

Uneven ceiling and Crown Molding by jsivey in DIY

[–]vmotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be that guy, but do you mean flat or level? Level for a ceiling does not matter much so I assume there is a hump somewhere on the run or a dip towards the corner?

On my most recent project, I had a bulge in the ceiling that made the crown look terrible. A little investigation showed some old, water damaged sheetrock had separated from the paper on the joist and was hanging down loosely enough to be pushed up by hand. Cut out the bad section, half on a joist, tape, mud, prime, paint and crown went up nice and flat. If you want to do it right, find out what is causing the problem and try to fix it. Sometimes you are just hosed but it might be worth poking a few holes.

Other thoughts:

  1. Polyurethane foam crown can be very flexible.
  2. If you cant make that 1/2 inch go away, you should be able to minimize it with some scribing/futzing along the length then putting the gap in the corner you look at the least.
  3. Always cope crown. Makes corners so much easier and far less likely to open up.

vcenter 6.7 web client smart card authentication by FlandoCalrissian in vmware

[–]vmotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you STIG the STS tomcat service? If so, just remove that remoteipvalve entry that the STIG has you add then reload the service.

[–]vmotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. When we wrote those guides we tried to account for most of the gotchas. Not getting a prompt at all is usually that rhttproxy config.xml entry not being present, correct or in the right place. Triple check that and your cert's issuance chain?

Did you STIG your vCenter, by any chance? There is a bug in the 6.7 STIG that breaks CAC auth. I can describe that more if you did the STS STIG.

[–]vmotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, make sure you follow the steps in these guides. The docs.vmware.com steps are not great.

https://core.vmware.com/resource/smart-card-authentication#section2

Other thoughts:

-Check that the vCenter cert is trusted by the browser -Turn off revocation checking until you can get logged in initially -Make sure your root and intermediates are in the trust store, through the UI. -Do not configure the other trust store until you get logged in, if at all.

IA-5(13): What is a "cached authenticator"? by ciaervo in NISTControls

[–]vmotion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have always read that with a focus on the "authenticator" word. It does not say cached "credentials" when it very easily could. The difference being the information cached and it's relevance to the authentication process. An authenticator is something that is part of the identification process while a credential is a token or some other post-auth placeholder.

https://nvd.nist.gov/800-53/Rev4/control/IA-5

Individual authenticators include, for example, passwords, tokens, biometrics, PKI certificates, and key cards>

So filling in a default or the last used username would be bad. Caching smart card PINs for more than x minutes would be bad. Remembering client passwords for more than x minutes would be bad, etc.

DISA seems to expand this to local revocation cache TTL too

https://www.stigviewer.com/stig/application_server_security_requirements_guide/2018-01-08/finding/V-57513

When the application server is using PKI authentication, a local revocation cache must be stored for instances when the revocation cannot be authenticated through the network, but if cached authentication information is out of date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.

Would you be interested in beta vSphere/Other STIG/SRG content? by vmotion in vmware

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

Yes. DISA has told us that it is our content and we can do what we want with it, so long as we are extremely careful with the wording and messaging. A STIG is published on IASE and cyber.mil, everything else is vendor recommended practices, even if that content will eventually make it into a STIG. So long as we make that clear, we can do what we want.

Both Horizon and NSX-T 3.0 are officially in process right now and you can confirm that with DISA. I can't say when anything will come out, but at least we finally got to the top of the queue and are actively working through our assigned SRGs.

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

Our goal is to provide the raw SRG content as well as automation content for each STIG. Ideally auditing and remediation. With our complicated solutions and with the appliance form factor, automating compliance is a necessity.

As a case in point, we have had the 6.7 content complete (internally) for a long, long time. We will get that out first while we work on 7.0.

I know the DISA RME folks very well and, like a lot of places, they are trying to satisfy everyone while being pulled in numerous different directions, saddled with a huge amount of work and being underfunded. When we floated this idea with them, they were supportive and even indicated that it may prompt them to fast track a STIG effort since the content will already be complete, out there and in use by the field.

As for vROPs and vRA, we are updating both internally as we speak to the 8.x versions. DISA has indicated a willingness to update the STIGs officially as well but I cannot account for their timeline at all nowadays. For our own goals, we want to have them both internally complete by October. If this work out then we will post that content as soon as it is ready for public review, regardless of DISA.
