Does anyone know a way to get macs/MacBooks functioning on a windows domain without it being a huge pain in the rear end? The last person I set this up for I had to join them and also create a separate roaming account on the same machine for them to access files even locally when they weren’t inside the network. VPN isn’t an option for these new users, we use redirected folders for the windows machines. I can map the shared drives but they disappear constantly even when on the domain for seemingly no reason on the MacBooks and this is wearing me out

Is geoblocking the laziest form of "IT Security" or is there something worse? [edit: Sorry, I should specify. I mean blocking geoblocking to block at the IP level and not factoring geolocation into your user risk.] Internet Explorer fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Aug 16, 2021 |

Oh no wait, even lazier is moving things to non-standard ports but otherwise doing nothing. I'm sure your RDP instance is perfectly safe on port 9389.

So uhh I got a 2 hour job interview tomorrow apparently where I'm meeting the Network Director, then the CISO. What were some good questions to ask an interviewer again? Deep end as gently caress, haven't had a job interview in 15 years.

GreenNight posted:So uhh I got a 2 hour job interview tomorrow apparently where I'm meeting the Network Director, then the CISO. For interviews with higher level people like that asking what success looks like for that role from their perspective does really well. That's the one question from that goon list I always ask. Any question relevant for your job but at their level in general does well, like what are the department objectives for the upcoming months/year and how does the role you are interviewing for fit in there.

That's some good points. I'm probably not going to ask the CISO of a law office about his last vacation.

You should. You should also ask what vacations look like for the rest of his team. Law offices suck. Ask them how they handled the naturally federated nature of law firms. How do they come to decisions, who ultimately makes the decisions, how do they balance doing security with the fact that everyone is a shareholder, etc.

Why not? Lets you know how much of a business focused mindless drone he is and what he expects of his people. If he never takes vacations, he'll probably never expect you to take vacations. Plus its a good talking point, and gives you insight into what he likes to do in his free time. CISOs are people too, you don't have to put them on a pedestal because they have 'Chief' in their title.

If you have an Apple Business Account, Apple has a built-in equivalent to Nomad that seems to work a lot better.

Unless it caches admin status locally, combining Macs and domain accounts still sucks for me IMO issue: "teacher can't add their printer at home to their new Mac due to it not considering them an admin" resolution: disconnect from school wifi, switch to local admin account, toggle the checkbox on their account to make them an admin for real (instead of it being enforced by checking with the domain), log back out of local admin account, reconnect to school wifi After a few weeks of that, we said screw it and went with local accounts

Personally I hate hate hate small talk. I'll tell you about my weekend if you ask (I was asked 6 times today), but I will never initiate that conversation. But for this CISO I'll ask. Same with the Director I'm speaking with post CISO.

The worst is when a co-worker brings up video games. Because the inevitable result is they want to friend you on whatever platform they prefer and there is no loving chance I will want to finish work for the day and then fire up the xbox to play games with co-workers. I'm friendly with yall but not that friendly.

I think there might be some confusion here. The goal isn't to make small talk. It's literally asking when was the last time they took significant PTO and if they were able to disconnect or if they had to work the entire time. You don't need to ask where he went and what he had for dinner.

We were having some packet loss on an EC2 instance despite our zabbix/top metrics showing the CPU/Memory sleeping during the packet loss. We opened an AWS ticket and the rep pointed out that we were hitting 100% on the CPU according to cloudwatch metrics. After some back and forth, the rep explained to us that cloudwatch metrics are reporting the virtualized CPU useage of our instance, where zabbix/top are reporting the utilization of the hosts core that our instance runs on. I have...never heard this, and I feel like it invalidates any non-cloudwatch metrics reporting. Has anyone crossed this bridge already, is there any alternative other than just switching to using cloudwatch metrics for CPU source of truth? I'd hate to have to split the tools we use by resource type but this seems like a major issue. Also why is AWS exposing the underlying like this?

Is the new buzzword for infosec "discreet" because my crazy CISO can't stop using the word discreet. "We need to be very discreet when evaluating these roles". I think she wants to use the word "careful" but believes discreet sounds cooler? It doesn't really fit IMO.

That's three employee departures in a row where the closest I got to official notice was an all-staff email about the farewell get-together. EDIT: Recruiter emailed me to say that the CFO wants me to schedule a mini "super day" with them as soon as possible, which I assume is a series of interviews with key people. Could be that they're running out of time to find a replacement for the departing I.T. Director so they need to screen candidates quickly. The last two jobs did this, so I've been through it before. They just ran around trying to find anyone who wanted to ask me questions until they ran out of takers. Dick Trauma fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Aug 18, 2021 |

Had an interview with the CISO who loved me and said I am everything he is looking for in the position. He said its mostly work from home but I may need to come to the office 1-2 times a month. Then I talked to the IT Director who said it's on site 3-4 days a week. I flat out told him that's not what the CISO mentioned. He said it's not the CISO's call. Yeah gently caress that noise.
