Many many years ago I worked for a civil engineering firm that did all sorts of fun stuff like bridge building/maintenance, landfill design, and environmental remediation. The only reason I left was there wasn't any position above where I already was, and I literally doubled my pay jumping to the next opportunity. Got to support all kinds of weird things, like industrial data loggers designed to record bat chirps (to monitor for endangered species).

I'd jump back to something like that in a heartbeat if they pay a decent salary.

Power plant IT is kinda terrible. It can be interesting and all but it's very intense and rule bound while also being attached to old lovely hardware.

For clarity, all of the power plant IT I've had to do was around co-generation power facilities attached to manufacturing complexes. Pure "we're a power company" not "we make X and also electricity" seems less stressful, but more burdened by bureaucracy. Sometimes I do wish we were bound by some of those rules, but cogens have different rule sets so we're allowed to do dumber things.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

The firewalls are pretty good. Not expensive and easy to work with. Need to keep on top of updates as they’ve had quite a few critical vulnerabilities lately. Recent license change in regard to patching is a shame but not unexpected (need a support contract to update to a new version. You also need to cover any expired time in a lapsed service to reactivate).

I don’t care for FortiManager as a central management tool. I don’t like managing the switches and APs using the fortigate. I’d recommend a different vendor for switches and APs.

I don’t have any experience with their other services like fortinac.

What does everyone think about Entra ID Internet Access? It looks like I'll be able to filter out bad websites for users without having to use a service from Websense. Is that right? is this included with Entra Premium or is it too soon to tell because it's still in preview?

If does what I think it does, it is crazy now that you can run an entire IT Infrastructure nearly exclusively with the Microsoft / Azure stack.

That product line looks like it's designed to loosely compete with Cloudflare Teams (which it looks like they've renamed now), I'm not totally sure where you'd use the Entra product and where you'd use the content filtering in Defender for Endpoint, looks like the main difference is that you're backhauling the web traffic back to Microsoft in the Entra product so perhaps something for lower quality access networks.

There's legal but not malicious stuff that you might not want to be available in an office anyway, and a risk-averse HR department might want content filtering in place to block porn, gambling, any political blog that you might call extreme, streaming video sites, social media, personal webmail etc. Or maybe this is a school where that sort of thing is almost a requirement.

I don't have much experience with content filtering as I've never had to do it and haven't worked anywhere that wouldn't trust their own staff to not be a huge clown about what they browsed at work, but it's definitely a thing that has a legitimate function.
