I basically have 2 requirements: I have a pair of Sennheiser CX Plus wireless buds that work well for me, but I rarely use the active noise cancelling so can't speak to how effective it would be standing next to a rack (or 20).

ANC works by drowning out the noise with other noise. Actual ear protection works by preventing the noise from reaching your ears at all.

Just lol if you aren’t using Sordin Supreme Pro-X active ear pro like a real tier one (phone) operator Unironically those made sense for me because I do gun stuff and do yardwork, so yeah. If you don’t shoot you can do way better on value.

I don’t get the hate for regexes. It’s such a useful tool and supported broadly. It’s not that hard if you get past the initial hurdle of understanding the at first glance seemingly unreadable syntax.

When setting up new users, I generate fully random passwords and stick it in their password manager so they only really need to memorize their AD and password manager passwords. One of the users changed their Salesforce password to Salesforce1. When I started working here, everyone had the same password but with their initials as the last two characters. The employees on the production floor all had the exact same password for our ERP. Our admin account passwords were all the same. This was more than a year after they were hit with a rasomware attack.

I moved away from random generated passwords for windows servers at current job. I can’t copy/paste (or let the password manager auto type) the password into the login screen. Some policy prevents me from saving it into rdcman so back to “word1word2MonthnumberSpecialcharacter” it is. This how security policies make your security worse overall. Same company disabled ssh based git because it was less secure than https. Clown world. Also I’m contemplating on posting my teammembers AD passwords in teams whenever they screenshare and I see them copy/paste it from notepad. I’ve told them a million times to use one of the 3 password managers the company supplies us with. Apparently naming and shaming is the only option.

There's a policy for disallowing connecting to a Domain network if an unknown network is connected, that might be in play. I found that when I got a ticket for a laptop on a cart that had its wifi turn off whenever you plugged in the barcode printer it existed to support. It turns out the barcode printer connected via USB, but it was using a USB-Ethernet adapter for some bizarre reason. So you plug it in, there's a new 192.168.0.0 network connected, and wifi gets turned off. That took a while to figure out.

I’ve asked them to explain this but they got fairly annoyed from the question alone so I didn’t really push it. Their response made them look bad enough already. The only reason that made a bit of sense was the fact that you can’t put an TTL on an ssh key to force people to rotate secrets every x months. It’s still stupid as your private key should never leave your host, but I’m sure there are enough

LochNessMonster posted:The only reason that made a bit of sense was the fact that you can’t put an TTL on an ssh key to force people to rotate secrets every x months. What? You just remove the public key from the server and then that private key is no longer useful. Set up the git service to expire SSH keys a couple months after they get installed, and maybe add them to a reject-list so the same can't be added back. Although that sounds like someone does not understand the reasoning behind why you rotate secrets.

My guess is that it was a compliancy thing they didn’t understand. Sounds like there was a requirement to rotate secrets. Adding a policy that sets max ttl for a token to x months (ootb feature) is easier than to write code that removes peoples pub keys after x months. In the end I didn’t care enough to push the issue. Running git remote set-url for dozens of repo’s to update the remote url from ssh to https was kinda annoying though.

We also blocked ssh key git a long time ago and I don't recall the reason, it must be some kind of vague requirement in a compliance assessment as that is normally where their actions stem from.
