I've had to deal with my fair share of lazy rear end "pentesters" who run OpenVAS and scream bloody murder at ridiculous non-issues, like OMG YOU RUN APACHE 2.4.something THAT IS SO OLD". Yeah buddy I run CentOS ever heard of backporting? geez. Qualys currently flags apache 2.4.x in our environment as an openssl vulnerability because the default header says 0.9.8. Even though 1.0.2k is installed on this particular box, and only that. So it hits http, sees the text of the header and screams OpenSSL! gently caress you, scanner.

At a previous job I had to have a 3rd party come in once a year and give me the same report. Thinking of budgeting so I can run these on my own just to keep other people out of my current place.

This consists of 2 (maybe 3) people who have any idea what the gently caress they're doing and a few people who can only follow instructions exactly as written even when incorrect, and are incapable of independent critical thought. The latter group run the scans and ask for responses to the results.

If youre on o365: Take this with a grain of salt but /r/sysadmin is speculating that a tenant worm is doing this. From the sounds of it MS is spam rating their own servers lowly. Also tenants are only using the built in o365 spam filter service (no 3rd party cloud or box based spam filtering)

That matches what I've seen - really random organisations sending email and the MX on all of them is *.protection.outlook.com Hopefully MS find a way to filter inbound messages regardless of whether another Office 365 tenant sent them, because they were pretty obvious junk messages - though obviously DKIM and SPF would all have been perfect.

So an email came in... Project Manager: Hey , do you know if the vendor has made the requested changes and are they in production? See attached form The form is a quote for work to be done. It says on the form that work will commence when payment is received. The copy of the form does not have anything listed for approvals or anything on our end. The quote was also sent late Friday afternoon. So project manager, I read the form for you. It appears we have to give the vendor money before they start working through our dev/preprod/prod process. No it can't be done by end of day. No I'm not paying for it.

It must be that kind of week. So far we’ve had one follow-up ticket from someone who never sent in a ticket, one follow-up ticket requesting an update on a ticket we resolved last week, and one trying to hurry us to get something done when they never answered a question we had on it. And that’s all in the first half of the day.

So, today was my second to last day at my current job. I suppose for all intents and purposes, I'm trading one helldesk for another, but here's the thing: Currently I'm T2 for a software dev, and have been that way for 3/4 years I've worked here. No upward movement unless someone leaves or gets fired (extremely rare, at this point) unless you move into another department or get lucky enough to get put on another project. This is a 45m drive. I'm going to another job where I'd be a T1, but make more money and be within walking distance of home. At this point, I feel like this will probably be the better position for me. It seems waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more disorganized comparatively, but being able to nullify the commute, force myself to walk more, and work in an even smaller team on a "sort of" military base as their helpdesk seems way more rewarding for me. They framed it something like (I don't remember the exact verbiage) "doing password resets for old guys trying to get into their account" or other general helpdesk stuff I've done for years at this point anyways. It also seemed like I could eventually move into other roles, the benefits package looked like a slight step down, or a sidegrade. As the days wind down, I am realizing that while I feel like this is kind of like leaving highschool or college (I'm 29) due to how long I've been here, it is kind of cathartic. My current company is in a stage where it doesn't seem like it fully knows what it wants to do with the consumer/business products it's had for a while, and it's clear it has its eyes on the midmarket business instead. I don't blame them. I just dealt with one of our resellers who thought it was OK to keep me an hour and a half past close because he wanted me to speed up his server restore. I get it, you're under the wire, but why rope me into this? You should have done testing to see if this would fit your needs in a crisis instead of shuffling the blame onto support. These are the kind of reasons I'd look at from a business standpoint and go "yeah, gently caress those guys who end up being a sunk cost because they run up the bill on labor, whereas these midmarket guys who actually know what they're doing rarely if ever have to contact support because they can self manage." No wonder they'd want to eye the midmarket consumer base. I digress, I realize that this part won't change in going to another helpdesk. It's a little weird and scary to move to a new job. I'm sure I'll be fine, but yeah. Here's hoping the new job will be less facepalming than this current one.

I'd always take similar pay at a walking distance location over an massively long trip. You're saving tons in fuel and time. You're getting back over an hour a day that was just spent travelling, entirely worth.

I work from home 3 days a week and now I feel like I have two Mondays and two Fridays, one where I start/stop working for the week, and one where I start/stop working in the office midweek. It also costs me £100/day to commute.

I only go in once a week but I'm looking at either £140 train fare or ~£70 in fuel and parking. I've asked if I can expense any of that and have basically been told to go gently caress myself.

I work for my own company so I expense travel and food, but that only saves me about a quarter of the cost because it's my own money eventually. Wibla posted:
When I used to work there 5 days a week I would get the monthly ticket, which was about £800 all-in. Edit: 2 or 3 days per week is in the "gently caress you" zone for fares:

To be fair it really isn't much cheaper outside of London either, driving to work is easier but trains and buses are much more expensive (£2.90 one way for bus fares average) Less hectic commute, way more expensive. As a 20-something just moved out of London, it's time to do something I thought I'd never do... Get my driving license.

Jaded Burnout posted:Drive to work? This is London mate, car parking at the station, extortionate train fare, then tube fare, plus lunch costs. Cripes, when I used to commute from the burbs to the Loop (Chicago), I’d pay approximately $50/wk. $1/day parking at the commuter lot and about $45 for a 10 ride pass. I worked enough from home at the time that a monthly pass was never the best deal cost-wise. Also, my gas cost was negligible since I lived 2 miles from the commuter lot. Now, I work from home the majority of the time and when I do drive in, it’s about 15 miles (15-25 mins by expressway or 20-35 mins using surface streets depending on time of day)

It's more they say 'People shouldn't be driving when there are lots of trains, the Underground, buses and taxis to take them around. Let's try and push them in that direction by making cars more expensive' People outside London - who earn a lot less - look at the railway station 15 miles away, the bus stop 3 miles down the road that only has service 3 times a day, or the suicidal bike route and say 'guess I'll be driving then'

Anyway yeah, the cities typically have good public transport at a reasonable rate, but if you leave the city the train companies have monopolies on certain routes and will charge you 98% of the difference between median wages between the two locations. Much like in the US, you need a car outside of cities.

I've lived in Edinburgh for 15 years, never felt the need to have a car. £636 a year for unlimited bus travel, including to the airport and on regional buses into East Lothian and the Borders. It's one of the best public transport systems in the UK.

I work in the financial district and every now and then they close Broadway for something and it's an incredibly wonderful experience to not be crammed into sidewalks while people drive 60mph because they really need to get a block down to stop at the red light right loving now.
