LAPS really loves to use I, l, and 1 in its passwords, and then display it in a small san-serif font so you have no loving idea what you're supposed to be typing unless you copy it into Word and change the font to something that isn't completely ambiguous.

The Fool posted:The point isn’t that mfa prevents the attack it’s that it reduces the usefulness of compromised credentials Its the sad reality of information security these days. Everyone wants to put all this time, effort, and money into credential exfil prevention and mostly all I care about is making it as worthless as possible. I am never going to prevent users from giving their passwords away. You aren't either. The sooner you give up on it but the most basic of protections, the more sane you will be. Force the bad guys to take over the device, the credentials, and mfa before they get in. Make the other org the target worth targeting.

Notepad is usually good enough, if you squint real hard at the 1s and ls to see the difference in the top serif. I only ever touch LAPS when the user's machine has no domain access at all, which means I'm basically always reading one of those passwords over a poor phone connection to a deeply nontechnical user in an emergency. It usually goes about as well as you would expect. Fortunately, it's usually only a once or twice a year occurrence.

Welp managed to finally port our DIDs over to Telnyx from VoIP.ms. Right up until we stopped using them their POPs were still going in and out. Submitted the port request at 9AM, it was done at 3PM. So far so good, Telnyx seems to work well.

Pissing me off: I was supposed to have a meeting with my manager on Monday. She had an emergency meeting come up that conflicted and was supposed to call me when she had the chance. Nothing. Today she was supposed to call me this afternoon. Nothing. Given that the meeting is almost definitely going to revolve around the promotion that she and another manager are supposed to be working on, that's not making me feel optimistic if she's not even willing to say "I expect to have news in a couple days so I want to wait until then." My manager and I have always had a good relationship over the past 2 years that I've worked here too, so it's even more concerning. Waiting to hear back with final results from two jobs right now, in talks for a bunch of others.

It felt really satisfying to put in my notice right at the start of my annual performance review at the last place. Especially since she wanted me to stand up SharePoint 2013 on-prem for the business to use. In 2017. There was a blanket cloud services ban from the global German parent corporation.

Just a friendly note to anybody who is a project manager, if you don't understand what's been written then you definitely aren't in a position to start rewriting it. If you don't understand something then I will gladly take you through it. If you pass my update along to a client and there are questions, great, send them back over and I will answer them. I'll even attend a meeting with you both to talk through it. But don't send a completely butchered version of what I wrote and then get upset that it's confused people.

I mean, I'm likely in the wrong, because I overstepped in some regard, but the whole situation is just loving stupid. I'm doing part time data analysis here at my job. Because the plant had been under 2.5m/8ft of water during the European floods recently, we're building back up. The management needed some predictions as to what products would be ready to manufacture again based on reparation date estimates, for longterm planning and short term raw material orders. For that to be entirely correct, I needed specific data from the planning application of the calculation department. That data is said to be off limits to us, but it's mostly just a half-spoken out but unwritten rule. I don't know why, because it's manufacturing related, and we work with manufacturing related data, but alas. So we submitted a request to IT to fetch the stuff for us. Three days in, still no data, but they're "working on it full-time" (the person that wrote the application is doing it, you'd think it'd be a quick matter). Meanwhile management was breathing down our neck, because they wanted to know ideally yesterday. I said gently caress it, pulled the table and column metadata from DB2, looked for the tables that could be related to said application based on what's put in the table descriptions, took tons of notes, looked at table data, then eventually figured out how to join everything to get proper data and wrote an Excel worksheet around it that spits out dynamically what can be manufactured and when, based on continuous input from the technical department. I did all that in half a day. At the end of the fourth goddamn day (i.e. in the afternoon after doing my thing) I finally get part of the data we requested. The IT head eventually noticed we were done ahead of their delivery, wondered how, eventually figured out and flipped his poo poo, because we were "forbidden" to access these publicly accessible tables. Now there's a bunch of drama about data access. Meanwhile I'm also rewriting a bunch of old-rear end Visual Foxpro applications in JS/React, and am merrily (re)writing SQL queries. The IT head was already musing for ages about web services and consequently disabling ODBC access, however very long term ideas. But it seems poo poo got accelerated due to that stint. If things were to come to a head, I'll be spending writing tons of tickets with requests for web service endpoints for specific data, and then probably wait several days to several weeks for each. In the hopes they actually deliver correct data, which is seldom the case, when we let them do more complex analytics on their term. Which leads to more back and forth, trying to hint them as to why things are wrong without knowing how they even assembled the data. We work directly with the production departments, so we typically know why data is hosed up. They however don't. A good example is that one table with measurement data, that's essentially data from several tables denormalized into it for reasons unknown to me. A long while ago, on behest of management, we requested some columns to be added with data from other obscure tables. poo poo's been incorrect for 9-10 months and we're still arguing with them. At some point I pulled the same poo poo like above, except they don't know about it, figuring out on my own how to join ten loving tables, that I shouldn't even know about, to get proper data. Meanwhile they still don't manage to generate the proper results for us. This is loving stupid. I hate my life. I should change jobs.

Our best business analyst left earlier in the month. I am on a couple of projects she was assigned to, along with the same PM. I'm already getting frustrated. I had a convo with the PM yesterday after a debrief after a customer call. Me: Oh, and [replacement BA] sent me the discovery document via email yesterday morning. Can you maybe give her a nudge to upload that to SharePoint? We should be working out of there, not emailing documents back and forth. There is an earlier version in there last updated 8/30 by [BA that left]. PM: I didn't want her to give that to you yet. You actually like SharePoint? Me: It's nice to know I'm viewing or updating the latest version of a document. PM: I hate it. I can never find anything. (there is a standard folder structure for each project and a loving search bar) When I do find something, I download a copy to my hard drive so I have the latest version. (bookmark it, dumbass) Me: Until someone updates it on SharePoint. Or you update it locally and then no one has the latest copy but you. It's useful for tracking and reviewing documents. PM: I do that when Tech Comm uploads a doc for us to review. Me: But it should already be in there so we can do that as it's first being built. The procedure is to put all project documentation in there. PM: Well, I'm old school, so I prefer working with a local copy. I only have a few years left anyway. But yeah, nothing has been updated under that project's site since the good BA left. I checked the other site and there were, I think, three documents updated 7-9 days ago by a different replacement BA. It's another ongoing discovery, so I can't be certain if she's actually using SharePoint properly or just copying updated versions up periodically. The funny thing is there were a couple docs updated by the good BA the day after her final day! She wasn't even employed at that point, but she was more proactive than the others. I vented to my manager on our scheduled weekly one-on-one today. He's not happy and wanted to talk to their manager about following procedures. I told him I was planning to talk to their manager anyway because of an unrelated item. Of course, if he tells his team to "use loving SharePoint!", it'll be pretty obvious it's me. So I'm floating the idea of just putting my foot down the next time someone emails me a discovery or design doc not in SharePoint. "I don't work on documents through email. Please upload this to the project SharePoint site so we all have access to the latest documentation and we can work from there." I'd rather be known as a pain to work with than a tattletale. I swear every week it's someone else not following a different procedure. Also, I can't believe I'm defending SharePoint, but it exists for a reason.

Combat Pretzel posted:No Help for Data Analysts Hopefully I don't run into these same issues. Fairly certain I will be either assuming or transitioning to a new role in the company (the CFO/COO wants me involved in "financial consolidations" because I'm the resident Excel wizard). I truly want to stop working with the massive turd of a spreadsheet we currently use and pull data dynamically from NAV but that's probably too much to ask. Yeah, there's no way I'm getting access to the actual database files. I'm even willing to extend my Python knowledge to do read-only queries on it to generate the data needed and piss it into an Excel spreadsheet. PowerPivot? Nah, depends too much on data normalization (that other users continue, relentlessly to gently caress up).

The manufacturing and sales sides of management are like "We need that poo poo stat" and the IT side of management is like "Well, when I order a car, I also need to wait for it to be built first". There's probably gonna be some back and forth on management level, haven't heard anything yet so far. If the table was so sensitive it wouldnt have been accessible to you.

If you are seeing issues within our border please supply us with trace routes and supporting data and we will troubleshoot immediately. Customer: … Customer: please investigate ISP issues. Us: we cannot since we do not have an account or relationship with these ISPs. If you are seeing issues with them you should open a support case with them directly. Customer: … Customer: how do we open a single support case that involves all of our accounts? Me [to individual customer out of channel]: asking us to “troubleshoot everything” without any supporting data to indicate it is our issue won’t work. Please provide any information at all that leads to our network being at fault. We will happily own the issue, but you have to tell us what you are seeing that leads you to believe it is us. Us: please provide any information you have that indicates it may be us. Anything at all will help localize the issue and help us troubleshoot. Customer:… Customer: please contact [ISP] and [ISP] and tell us when their issue will be resolved. GOTO 10

While the consultant and me were yapping about things like Node.JS, NPM and React, the IT head apparently sat there like "Yes yes, I know some of these words" (--edit: note, they're starting out web dev themselves).
