poo poo pissing me off: Chrome and its hyper-aggressive caching. I'm setting up a new web site architecture and whatever the state of the site is when you first point chrome at it is the one Chrome will remember forever.



Pointed chrome to a site not up yet and got a 404 error? Forever
Pointed chrome to an IIS server using host headers and got the stock "Welcome to IIS" page? Forever
Your site (not) using redirection to redirect HTTP to HTTPS? Forever
Site pointing to an S3 bucket that no longer exists? Forever

I shouldn't have to flush every cache, purge every saved setting, and otherwise burn chrome to the ground in order to get it to refresh. :f5:

Developer tools -> settings -> disable cache :confused:

Pissing me off: Chrome 91 released 3 days ago seems to break our platform in specific ways, going right into a holiday weekend.

Chrome is essentially a Google-branded memory leak and so many websites are either so terribly coded or so privacy-invasive that they just won't work with Firefox. I'm ready to relegate my desktop to strictly gaming, switch to a Raspberry Pi with Lynx as my primary home computer, use my work laptop when I need to do something for work, and my Thinkpad 420 for anything personal involving Windows.

Yes, I did use a bunch of Chrome extensions for privacy and ad blocking, but thanks to each extension and each individual tab running as a separate process, it's managed to eat as much as 32GB of memory, especially with the coding shithole that is Facebook (no, I'm not deleting it because it's the only way to keep in touch with some family and friends who live far away.

DNS

We have new DNS resolvers , named ns01/02/03.

We have new NTP servers, which some rear end named dns01/02/03.

All week, “the network is broken my computer says no internet”.

No, the office is technically closed for Memorial day, but calls are still routed to the on-call number if they come in. Since it's a holiday, those not normally on-call would take a turn, basically.

When do normal on call schedules roll over? Ours is Monday-Monday, technically at some weird mid-morning time, but that's due to an ancient problem with handing off the on call laptop and Blackberry. The reason is long gone, but the process will live on forever.

Tuesday - Tuesday, that removes any ambiguity about handover on weekends with a Monday off. You are only responsible for 5P-8A, anything during normal hours everyone responds to.

For this reason we do Wednesday to Wednesday. It’s sucks to have a rotation start/end in a Monday, thereby potentially disrupting two people’s weekends. Same with Fridays.

I got publicly called out by a director for not having taken a security training yet, which is a bit embarrassing considering I am the security officer. Except I took it months ago as part of the pilot phase before this director even worked here and it apparently never recorded my progress.

For years my Teams icon was a nu from Chrono Trigger. Then I moved to a different team and they demanded an actual photo. I never voluntarily take pictures of myself. I actively avoid being in pictures taken by others. So now my icon is a selfie I took drunk the night after we were required to have pictures. You go down the team list and it's all nice looking portraits in dress clothes, and then me grinning maniacally, in weird lighting at a Dutch angle. I've received complements.

My direct boss has bailed, and we lost one of the other guys on the team last week who is still pretty early in his career and took an 18 month contract with a huge company to get experience working in a massive corporate. That was 50% of our small team so I'm going to have to :yotj: as well to avoid a metric ton of poo poo becoming my problem.

My boss seems to have forgotten that I'm on 50% sick leave and also aren't supposed to be doing anything considered stressful if it can be avoided.

Thus I find myself being the principal SCADA engineer (at our company, not the entire thing, thank gently caress) for a huge railway project :cripes:
That includes the usual nag about when poo poo will be done, despite verbal assurances going in that that wouldn't be going on.

WHEN THE RICH GET RICHER I GET HORNIER :a2m::a2m::a2m::a2m:

I'm currently hourly. Boss wants me to convert to salary with about an 8% raise. Totally not worth it, right? I don't get any overtime right now so it would definitely be a pay raise but part of being hourly is that I never have to work nights or weekends, and as salary I occasionally would (maybe 3 evenings per month and one Saturday / month).

Right now I work alternating weeks of 4 x 10 hour shifts on week 1, and 5 eights week 2, two of those days are wfh.

Salary would probably give me 1-2 extra wfh days every two weeks. All other benefits are the same.

The flip side is that there is only one higher hourly position, which I would probably qualify for at the end of the year, it should be a 15% pay bump. But the salary position has more headroom, ultimately capping out at 30% more than I make right now.

I guess writing it out, going salary seems like the practical choice. But I sure do like always leaving work at work and every evening and weekend is my own.

The Fool

Being salary does not mean the company owns your personal time or that you have to give up your weekends or put in any extra time whatsoever.

Also salary is not universally overtime exempt, so check your local labor laws.

Salary is fine, set boundaries and enforce them.

Black summer was the best summer.
My company is hiring a new CISO as the previous one retired. We have interviewed one guy that is a referral of the CIO, the day the job was posted. He was a very nice guy, but his resume was as paper tiger as it gets. He also listed "defcon leadership" , hacking, and mastery level "cloud skills" in his resume. He folded under the most basic of questions. He only spoke is the most vague of answers that mostly weren't even coherent.

Here are some of the questions he was asked(not all of them, just some simple soft balls)...

*What is your preferred platform for security policy publication/storage?
*You listed you are a Microsoft MVP, how did you attain it?
*What is the concept of "least privilege".
*What would consider important topics in a cloud security roadmap (or any roadmap)?
*How would you handle issues with leadership adoptions of unpopular security initiatives?
*We see all your defcon mentions, can you walk us through panels/presentations/etc that you were a part of?


He could not give coherent answers to these very basic questions. He could speak enough to probably fool my 6 year old into believing he had any clue what he was talking about, but his answers did not match up with what you would expect for a person with 18 years of CISO experience. These weren't even technical questions!

Turns out, he now has a meeting with the CEO tomorrow. Considering we haven't interviewed anyone else, he is 100% my new boss. I somehow think I deserve this.
