He's being beaten by the little girl witch right now...

Like push button wifi security... it automatically connects devices to wifi without user having to understand much of anything really and it's secure!

I've enjoy being a jack of all trades and master of few. It's nice to work on different aspects of technology and not be pigeon holed into one thing. Some of this is due to type of work I do. There aren't many of us and we're responsible for the entire infrastructure. So I do network/windows/unix-linux/storage/security and…

We had a big mainframe at Ohio State named Brutus that did all class scheduling for everyone.

Try and get it done quick and don't dwell on the web all day.

For sure! While I was in school in the mid 90's we had SUN's everywhere... even Steve Jobs donated a bunch of NeXT cubes to Ohio State while I was there (pretty neat because it was the first truly object oriented desktop environment which btw it's kernel called MACH is now the foundation for all of the Apple operating…

Is that like the "you can check out any time you like... but you can never leave?"

Awe I Love the Corgi... We had 3 of them while I was growing up!

Yeah I agree... we're on SericeNow now and I'm really not a fan. Most of my other places have used Remedy before. I've used Remedy since before it was aa web application.

I'm kinda dreading when O365 becomes usable by the defense industrial base. I think it is coming though anyhow. I guess one good thing is we could perhaps put some Orion agents in these new specialized clouds to report on some stats... at least I hope that's possible.

I've had to deal with a weird DDoS vulnerability lately it's a special kind of ntp amplification attack.

Traps have been tricky to get right from my experience. Configuring them at the source is pretty important to get it right.

Despite that all my stuff is on-prem.

What exactly and when is this? It sounds like Cisco Live for Solarwinds... kinda. Or is this like SWUG for Houston?

I love the lego people picture!

It's just now starting to get up into triple digits right around 100-102... When it's dry that's actually not too bad if you aren't in the direct sun... it's around July August when then temp sometimes hits 120 that it's just really hot. The longer I've lived here though the less I have much tolerance for cold, rain, ice,…

Heck yeah even cooler than it used to be in Cincinnati when I lived there...

I don't understand today's question? What's the deal with this one?

Cool lego daughter! I can't explain why the FBI wouldn't be using better than commercial grade software... maybe they are behind... I'm sure the NSA has something better! Btw... the links are all dead... I think it appended some solarwinds stuff in front of the real URL's. You can get to them if you strip off the first…

Comply or face the music!

That BitCoin is really a messed up thing... I suppose some of the people that got some in the beginning by using their GPU to mine 24x7 when they weren't using their computers could be happy now if they can cash out... that much is for sure. At this point I'd say stay way way away from it! It seems so ridiculous the…

I really enjoyed the more technical document linked to from your second to last link: https://tcf.org/content/report/surveillance-without-borders-the-traffic-shaping-loophole-and-why-it-matters/

NOTE you can copy and paste today's answer to make sure you don't typo anything... just sayin'.

It was a fun thing to do.

I've been trying to get them to buy into SRM as well... both DPA and SRM are expensive so it's been an uphill battle.

It looks like that could be deep fried coke behind the Oreos too!

I agree with @"silverbacksays" Tom all the way FTW!

Thanks for the fix on day 3!

Lol this is so true... BitCoin mining is VERY inefficient. It would never work for massive bank transactions.

Dang it's a tie right now SaaS and onsite 32% to 32%. I can't really do cloud for certain reasons but it's been a great year for us Thwacksters in 2024 it's a wrap!!! Thanks @"kpina" for carrying the torch! Bill
