The Fool posted:In a lot of cases, being able to use an authenticator for work also means enrolling your device in mdm. we use rsa's securid and I'm actually kind of happy with it. The registration process sucks, I have to open a ticket with my org then call a number and give them some private info to confirm identity and they send me a registration link, but once it's done it's done and they have no control over my phone. It does promote not upgrading my phone ever because if I do I have to open another ticket, whatever secret the app generates can't be transferred.

Doing bulk IP allocations on our private network (it's a /20), send the list to the end user. They kick it back to me saying there's an address that ends in 0 like I hosed something up. I respect that not everyone in IT is a networking expert, but if you got "engineer" in your signature y'all better know how subnets work.

I'm not sure they were advocating for accepting the argument, it's just the cold hard truth of how the system is running. The economy as it stands now requires pushing employee wages downwards. The poorer we are, the better inflation looks and is why in the US they've been loving with interest rates so much, it's to make us peons poorer. It's a horrible rigged system that benefits the wealthy. The plebs are absolutely obligated to push against it, that's why unions are so important. Without the occasional uprising the ruling class will just keep stomping us down.

I feel like an edit to ignore all zero values is the right choice, sure we all fall in love with our simple clean scripts but business needs don't work like that. The requirements change and the code gotta follow. Unfortunately that's the job.

My org offers VPN, but it's a massive hassle to log in and they disabled split tunneling so farrrrrt to that. The upside is they left ssh open so guess what, I do all my work via a socks proxy and a jump host config.

"zero trust" has leaked into my org and this has resulted in an end to some types of announcements being sent by email (because they can't trust email, even though we have to log in to it with 2fa). So instead they set up an internal website that we're supposed to check every day for announcements, and we have to log into that with 2fa. They want us to set it as our home page, ensuring we get constantly blasted with login prompts. End result? People are starting to miss announcements because no one's cool with that bullshit.

Same old poo poo: announce a service being deprecated over a year ago, send monthly warnings it's coming, and this month finally announce the hard shutdown date. Get a half dozen angry emails how that's too soon and no one has the ability to migrate that fast. Well then what the heck you been doing the past year you jokers?

Agrikk posted:this is why I love notepad++. Even if my PC reboots overnight, my (unsaved, unnamed) notes stay in their tab when I relaunch the app. You can even configure it to store the scratch files in a cloud folder and have the exact same notepad tabs on multiple devices (sort of, you have to sync a sessions file and be cautious to close notepad++ often because it only reads that file on startup). Or just use vscode I guess.

That's why email should die. I guess it's not specifically email that's at fault, it's links and the fact that anyone can register a domain that facilitates it, but the inability to conveniently identify the sender as authentic is a pretty gaping flaw. And yes there's ways to do that but the protocol doesn't enforce it so no one bothers. It's "too hard".

You can buy dot matrix printers new, they aren't dead. They're just out of the limelight. I kinda miss the chattering noise they make. But I have zero need to print out miles of text so will probably never own one again. Especially the high speed ones which I think are still faster than the best inkjet/laser versions you can get.

duckduckgo is my default these days (this change coincided with the amazonification of their product search results) but it still feels like it can't return technical results quite as well as google. There's just something about the way google can pull up information on obscure OS issues that no one else has replicated.

I kinda get it. Obviously harassing businesses to try and provoke a reaction for internet clicks is obviously total bullshit but there is a very real problem in the US with people being locked out of land they should have access to. Look up the lawsuit around Elk Mountain in Wyoming for example. People are getting blocked from accessing public lands because some rich idiot bought the neighboring land and throws a fit every time someone corner cuts his turf. It's probably going to end up in the supreme court because rich prick keeps losing trials and bumps it up the chain. So I guess the moral of the story is both sides are technically right but they should stop being assholes so we should chill out and meet somewhere in the middle.

That's why some genius should buckle down and come up with a protocol where attempting to connect to an offline service will query some kind of status reporting service and display a helpful message like "we're doing maintenance, gently caress off." But nah, spinning a dial for 45 seconds before kicking back with a "connection timed out. contact your administrator if this persists" error is totally acceptable.
