I work in infrastructure for a uni in the uk & we've got no proper remote access solution so we've been setting up machines for RDP all week, it's a security nightmare..
If anyone wants to hack us they've got many entry points they can attack.

It's orders from higher up who put business continuity before security... to make sure my arse is covered when it all goes bang, i've made sure I've kept all the emails.

I'm also the divisional health&safety rep for our union which lets me ask some really awkward questions because if they gently caress me around I can legally order a full H&S inspection :)

I also work in IT infrastructure. We're solving the security issue by having people log into a virtual desktop client using MFA. They then get published two apps, a web browser and a remote desktop client to get into their workstation.

So you don't have people using their home machines to directly log into the RDP and you can set some strict access control on RDP to effectively separate the remote desktop from the home workstation.

Hello goons, I’m having a hard time keeping up any semblance of a healthy routine such as not drinking 6 beers a night which is also not great for my mental health. Getting stir crazy as I’m working from home and my roommate is unemployed and I’m sure he is as tired of seeing me all the time as I am. any tips on structure and not having a Lighthouse situation (without the gay stuff) would be appreciated.

Do you like video or computer games? One thing that helps sobriety for me is that I will find a game that I really like, but that is a bit too complicated to play tipsy, and decide to play it in the evening. Seems silly, but it can help. If you don't have a complex game, maybe play one and then write a lets play or something afterwards, something that would be harder to do inebriated? Or perhaps another hobby that is hard to do drunk, and make sure to do it in the evening and work yourself up to looking forward to it.

Some of us can't work from home. I service office equipment at all sorts of places, but lately it has been nearly all hospitals. If these machines go down, patient care can be negatively effected.
In fact, I am headed to a hospital right now.

Yeah but people like you are not the problem. The problem is large groups bbqing at the river, drinking together in parks and having what they literally call "Corona Partys" because they have gently caress all to do. All this is happening in Munich and is why we now have a curfew.

Here in Bavaria, the shelter at home order explicitly says shopping for groceries, going to work and even going running or cycling alone or in pairs with other household members is fine. But socialising in groups is not.

You gotta start thinking of it like an STD. You might be clean and the other party might be clean so everything works out, but then again, who knows?

And then you might just be carrying around lung herpes without knowing it, spewing it on everyone around you.

No it's 3 weeks in the freezer to kill any diseases or worms, like any other raw-fed meats.
also the freezer has to be at the maximum home freezer setting to get the −15 °C required for this. if youre skimping out at just below 0 to save on your energy bill (or to have scoopable ice cream) you cant count on this

Sure. Stay six feet away. No physical contact. Don't touch your face. Wash your hands when you get home.

We're social animals who literally go nuts in solitary confinement. Some of us are fine getting all our social interaction by being extremely online (the extremely online are well known for our robust mental health). But if your monkey brain needs to see another monkey face once in a while to avoid going nuts, then find a safe way to meet that need.

I'm thinking of floating the idea of Saturday night beers with my friends over web cams. Get your beer of choice web cam in and everyone can talk it will be fun. Anyone know a free way to accomplish this? I know there used to be group webcam chats but they seem to have all gone to host only webcam now like Twitch.

while a lot of poo poo is gouged to hell i was able to place an order for a few final essentials from amazon last night. big bags of cat and dog food, cat litter, dish detergent, clothes detergent, and hand soap. is amazon an option for you?

I'll add that arcade games work great for this. Sharp reflexes required, and no cut scenes to reach for a drink during.

most likely, but even then it will only be regional, they will do so in places like la and nyc but they aren't going to be able to do that on a large scale across entire states for some time. the us is a lot bigger and more sparsely populated than italy or france and some of our countryside is too full of heavily armed conspiracy theorists and militias and poo poo for that to go smoothly

I'd be up for netflix, I've recently been watching Venture Bros stream on adult swim which has a live chat, unfortunately most of the people there seem to be 12-14 and it's not a healthy place to read right now, or even try and have a conversation about the show so I can forget about this stupid poo poo for an hour.

We could do some binges even which could be really fun especially if we hit one for a big shows release time!
