Not sure what it is but piracy in general has helped with my depression. It's kinda relaxing just doing mundane organization and curating of media. It feels like a video game getting my ratio up and it's additive.

Other choice quotes from the thread:

Yes, I also find piracy as addictive. I check everyday about piracy stuff especially movies every hour and I can't control it. Piracy is kinda my daily habit.

Emacs, though. I opened that up once to see what the fuss was. If I hadn’t had a friend that could talk me through the landing, I would have had no choice but to get a new computer.

Update to being unable to verify user ID ever.
HR wants every user to memorize their employee number for us to verify ID with. There are SO many ways that this would not work.
We are most likely just going to route all password reset requests though HR, or require verification from HR to proceed on cases where ID verification is needed, similar to what The Macaroni did:

The Macaroni posted:

They did that at my last job. I said, "Hey, I'm just gonna refer every single person to HR for ID certification if you can't let me see date of birth or something similar." They pretty quickly figured out a different system.

lol, we've just been dealing something similar from a new E-mail security provider/team which our boss has vehemently disagreed with implementing.

- Four message long chain comes in (last Wednesday) about malware E-mail warning, we're only alerted because our Boss was in it and she copied our teams in once she was included
- Boss asks for clarification as we've only had an extremely vague "Something happened" warning
- Provider gives a bitchy response saying you need to do something
- Someone else steps in send information our team needs to know to actually do anything
- Provider finally sends info...
- ...but is blocked because they are an external sender(?)
- It's not Monday and still ongoing

It's hilarious as it involves a bunch of people and info-sec from the upper echelons of the corporate structure, who didn't think to actually speak to our site. I also still don't particularly care as we have zero access to the protection suite, nor do I personally even have access to admin Exchange Online (literally no one knows how to assign access...).

Had a two-person crew working for me at one of our sites. They laid off one of them. The other is on PTO and we need to find something that only they know the location of. Their phone is not being answered and they haven't replied to email. THEY ARE ON PTO. Now I get the email from a higher up, "Were we aware that he was going to be totally out of contact?"

That should be the default assumption. HE IS ON PTO.

In a previous job, I had a weekly deliverable always due at the same time. It was dependent on other people, of course. Prior to going on a cruise, I said, "Hey I need you to get your stuff to me by 10am on Friday, because I am literally leaving the country and the mainland after that time and won't be available." My main collaborator said, "Are you sure you're unavailable? I hear they have wifi on boats now!" :mad:

Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to know
Normal contracted technician is on PTO for surgery. We had an issue with a server managed by the contractor's company. I submitted a support ticket and they let me know they will contact another tech to take a look. Queue an hour later and the normal contractor gets online and starts working on our issue. JFC, the contact company actually rescinded his PTO to have him work on our issue (which wasn't that much of a deal). We've had complaints about this company for a while now, but making your workers go in directly after surgery really gets me as I too an a lowly desk warmer and worker rights are a joke.

This isn't a mom and pop shop, it's a national company we are contracting with. But they never document anything unless we tell them to so when a problem pops up only one guy who knows the systems can work on it. They even told me "well the tech could already be working on the issue, we have no way of knowing." Like, you don't know what your techs are working on? "Well, no not unless they document it." They don't document their work? JFC, I'm pushing for us to find another vendor because shits not right.

corporation > people, for a lot of management that manages managers. There's an attitude out there of "that's what we pay you for" and "you work when I say you work." Running into that type is a red flag.

Your team just wasn't resourced to not rely on one worker's brain, either through additional staff or documentation usable by untrained people.

poo poo pissing me off - Apple has multiple business systems that need to use an email address for accessing. Setting up an email address for one of these systems creates an Apple ID.

Apples Device Enrollment Program wants you to created a Managed ID, which is apparently different than an Apple ID. And they make a senior exec at the company say who gets to be an admin for the Device Enrollment Program. CIO tells Apple to give chin.up.everything.sucks@company.com admin. I get the enrollment email, try and set it up and it won't take my address because it's already been used. Alright, so I'll just try an alias for my account. The system says that that's fine, tells me it's sending a verification email.... and 30 minutes later, no email.

I run a mail trace in exchange to see if the email was filtered as junk somehow. Nope, no sign of an email being sent to the alias at all.

So I call the phone number that our CIO used to set the account up in the first place and ask what is going on.

"Oh, *boss* delegated you access to the account, and provided your full email address. That's the only one you can use to set up the account."

Well poo poo, I used that email address for apples business purchasing system so I can order computers. The CIO is busy as hell, chasing him down to update the email address for the delegation via phone will take forever, so I think "I can probably just update my email in the purchasing system! That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Nope, I cannot change my own information in the purchasing system.

So now I email our Apple rep to say "hey, can you fix your broken poo poo?"

The response I get back is "Apple recommends you use a group alias for registration into the Apple Business Manager so it isn't tied to a specific user."

WELL loving THANKS, IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE PERSON WHO TALKED TO MY CIO HAD TOLD HIM THAT.

Anyone who uses their personal email address at vendor registration time instead of something like 'vendor@company.com' or 'license@company.com' deserves what they get. The good news is that this isn't your fault, and if anyone complains about it you get to kick it upstairs until your CIO fixes their poo poo.

You were given out of date information. Managed Apple IDs are not normal Apple accounts, and there's not a concept of a master admin account - you are meant to create accounts for whoever needs access and grant appropriate permissions.

You can also pick a subdomain that these managed accounts should be - we use thanksants@appleid.company.name

At a low enough temp it would, just like if you did a raw egg at low enough temp, it would still look just like an egg out of the fridge.

Pasteurization is temp+time. Anything above 117 will kill salmonella. Chicken proteins don't start reacting untill 120 degrees. Chicken breasts held at 119 degrees for many hours would eventually be safe to eat but still raw looking.

It's unlikely that's what is going on in the photo (I'm sure it was a joke photo to begin with), but you could actually do it. It would be a very slim margin though.

The longer something's been dead, the more likely it is that it gets contaminated. So I think the best way to enjoy raw chicken is to bite into one immediately after cutting off its head.

I imagine if sliced correctly it might be okay. Squid sashimi is gooey and delicious, and that's about what I'd imagine the texture of raw chicken to be. Thin small slices, not giant chunks. I don't think I could take a massive bite of squid.

In Japan, chicken sashimi is certainly a thing, and it doesn't look that different than what is being shown. Not entirely sure what is being displayed, and if it was sous-vide only watch the gently caress out for food poisoning, but if things were properly seared off as they appear to be, this might not be *quite* the food safety nightmare it appears to be at first glance.

Why do I root for Notre Dame? Because I like pain, and disappointment, and anguish. Notre Dame Football has destroyed more dreams than the Irish Potato Famine, and that is the kind of suffering I can get behind.
Is it sad that in the 11 years I've been in IT that it wasn't until Friday of last week that I physically handled a Macbook for the first time in my career, and more than that actually had to set it up for our domain? And I loving hated it - with Windows it was so much easier. I know there are people who love their Macbook (including my boss), but I don't see the appeal.

Also, we got our 3d printer last week and have been blowing it up with prints. I got to do my first print today since I let all my coworkers go before me - I decided to print out some Craftsman socket wrench organizers so I could make something constructive. And I got a chance to have a really good talk with my boss about perhaps going to school for a Master's degree - he strongly encouraged me to do it, and then made a few financial suggestions to help improve my retirement account performance.

Funny aside - yesterday 2 of my co-workers celebrated their 1-yr anniversary, and I told them and my boss to smile when their pictures were taken. "Everyone on the drat wall looks like someone just killed their puppy when the picture was taken." So naturally my boss mentions this to his boss's boss's boss in front of about 50 people, and when asked about it he says, "Oh, Daylen mentioned it - where are you Drazzi?" and when I raised my hand the big man gave me a thumbs up and I stopped holding my breath. Finally, a company with leadership with a sense of humor. I've interacted with the guy a number of times, and I personally support him and his select team, so he could have been cutting me some slack.

Still, the job is one of the best ones I've ever had, and word has been sent out that if you know anyone in the Dayton, OH area and are a developer or system admin with 5+ years experience or a BS in CS, CIS, MIS or any other IT-related degree and a year or two of experience the company wants to talk to you. It's a Fortune 300 company, does several billion dollars in business a year, has a huge project backlog, and is on a serious hiring spree to meet current and future demand. Huge plus if you have a Secret or TS already. If not, the company will sponsor you. Think about that for a second. PM me if you or someone you know is interested.
