I think someone is having a breakdown.

Now, the Docker breach is much more of a story. There are some serious ramifications for this one as it could lead to further breaches depending on what was stolen.

Agreed. Looks like it is out by a whole day. Wish I'd looked on here first before searching for it. The hint doesn't point to anything useful that I could see.

I was excited about Thwackcamp until just before it started when, in spite of my calendar clearly stating that I was unavailable and was NOT to be disturbed, I was dragged kicking and screaming into a meeting I didn't need to be at and didn't contribute to. Nothing was achieved unless you call a bunch of useless 'waste of…

Interesting and I have frequently resorted to percussive maintenance on recalcitrant servers.

Good stuff in there. Problem we have had here in the past is that they would install all manner of monitoring tools, do half a job configuring them and sending out millions of useless alerts. I killed off most of the tools and consolidated with Solarwinds. I set up the monitoring correctly and removed the useless alerts.…

Robbed ! She is in Scotland. I'm surprises she isn't on the banks of the Loch up on bricks with her wheels missing.

That's what I do with any question where I'm not sure of the answer. I will only answer after the SW folks have had their say. Probably has something to do with me being a bit cautious and not just jumping in without pausing for a think. Have to be like that when looking after millions of pounds worth of highly visible IT…

Just about to put in VMWare NSX.

True but there are prizes to be won, points to be earned and there is that sense of achievement when you get everything right. Points and prizes. Its what we live for.

Saw Bowling for Soup a few weeks ago at Hammersmith Apollo. Great gig.

Yes.

Not really surprised about MoviePass losing money. The business model will lose money until you get a critical mass of people, enough so that not everyone goes to a movie every month. It's basically a pyramid scheme.

Who ?

I don't read work e-mails out of office hours. Monday mornings is for reading all the rubbish sent out at the weekend whilst having a coffee and talking nonsence with colleagues. Have to ease myself into the working week somehow.

Surely it's Nambia not Namibia. Donald Trump CAN'T be wrong. (Yes, I know, Don't call me Shirley)

You beat me to it. Here in the UK we specialise in having government ministers in charge of government departments ONLY if they have no idea what that department does. When they screw it up they just get rotated to another department that they know nothing about. It's a bit like Senior IT managers. Had one this morning who…

What will 10,000 steps get me. Further away and in need of new shoes. What I really need is for someone to "Gimme three steps". Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps (Live) - YouTube

Inherited a basic "out of the box" install. Slowly working through it fixing stuff. Getting there.

Aliens. Maybe there are aliens out there but, as we live "Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy" (thanks Douglas Adams), maybe they just aren't interested in visiting. Scientists would be better off trying to find intelligent life here on earth (assuming you…

5 most common config mistakes. How is that a news story. Those aren't mistakes. They are fundamental security lapses.

Action Park. I want to go there.

That's fighting talk. I think we should race.

The problem is that companies are trying to do more with less. That means something has to give. It is usually the training budget. We are still expected to get the job done but now have no idea of how to do that. We will end up with something that, although it works, will be somewhat sub-optimal. 

Another point is that, if you create a location for these nutters to voice their opinion (no matter how vile) then it becomes easier to monitor them. It's a difficult problem.

@"rschroeder" Agree but this might have been better directed at the person who started it.

Is this a rehash of yesterday with a couple of differences and no correct answers.

yumdarling What a welcome. Talk about being thrown in at the deep end. I'm another one who hasn't got the points for two correct answers. Please don't get too worked up about it though. We are all a bunch of point-a-holics. I'm sure you'll get it sorted.

I want one of those electric jets. It would make my 2 hour journey to work every day so much easier.

Yes but Perimeter can also mean the outlying points of a network such as the PCs (think perimeter anti-virus protection etc.). That doesn't relate to physical security. I think the question is flawed as it is too ambiguous.
