Three words that should not be possible in a phrase (except in fiction): "Unsecure Amazon Server."

"The Reason Software Remains Insecure" has at least one broad statement that doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny. * When we see "large numbers of people dying", then we'll see a serious push for secure software.* This one just has so many parallel examples that don't float:* Car crashes and fatalities. Yes, we've seen…

Regular and recurring, automated and manual, high priority BUMP!

When you mentioned committing to a platform, you reminded me of some challenges we've had here. Our preferred WAN service provider was a local company comprised of some top-notch professionals, with a huge amount of certifications under their belt. They had multiple CCIE with multiple areas covered so they could have…

Very much like Cisco Works doesn't.

It's odd to think of saving and encrypting and restoring data you don't care about. But I bet we have loads of that on SAN and tape. What percentage of network storage space and resources do you suppose is wasted on unnecessary data?

I suspect the driver would need ear plugs, ear muffs, and a sound-proof helmet while trying to operate the car. Those two jet impellers seem as if they'd be impossibly loud so close to one's ears.

There's so much good in all of this Word-A-Day-Challenge!

Happy thoughts toward all the winners!

How sad deep fakes are "a thing" at all. Where are the ethics and morals that prevent people from going down the path of fakery that will be used in the future to fool the masses even more? Once again, just because someone has an idea or determines that something CAN be done, does not mean the idea should be followed…

I, too, read that story about the Title Insurance Company that exposed confidential information of many. Prevent it: * Teach people how to write secure codes and build secure web sites * Require they do so * Follow up on their work frequently and randomly and regularly, checking to ensure their pages and code remain in…

Given the limitations of rural sites and their single-WAN-provider limitations (including backhoe vulnerability and WAN throughput), I remain unimpressed on their behalf towards ASP's who continue to call their solutions "The Cloud." Those solutions may be appropriate for HA deployments in M.A.N.s or for groups that have a…

I've enjoyed what you've shared. Recent trends and predictions make me wonder in what ways Solarwinds can more automatically learn what users want, and how you'll automatically adjust and apply those changes and new directions. I've recently been confronted with the idea of future web-serving devices (like SmartPhones and…

When Amazon filed suit against the DOD and their JEDI contract award winner, Amazon claimed undue influence on the decision by our president. An American president would NEVER abuse his power, right? Well, we can see how THAT thought went . . .

Kiwi rocks, and is my real-time critical monitor friend that tells me when EIGRP and BGP neighbor states change. I know something's broken faster than the users can call the Help Desk, and I'm already focused on it, thanks to pointing critical router & switch syslogs at my personal Kiwi. I'm almost always at my desk, but…

What--no viewing the results of the survey?

Zoom hasn't impressed me with its actions or its vulnerabilities. Perhaps it'll be more friendly in the future. This one quote from the article summarizes my feelings exactly: “Gating personal privacy behind a paywall erodes basic freedoms and fairness.” It seems like everyone's communications should be private--not only…

I've been on the beta test for 2 weeks. Having some problems after the initial use of NCM to upgrade a switch via the firmware template feature, waiting for someone to get back to me to troubleshoot the issue. (Insert Jeopardy theme music here)

To me, the difference is in the flavor and intent. Sometimes we go into a project logically, but not with a detailed outline, such as the "pre-mortem" created above. That pre-mortem helps the project's implementer become a bit more of an irresistible force, and helps prevent the project or goal itself from becoming that…

I agree: Amazon made a mistake increasing their price $20. I'm dropping my account with them. I'm dissatisfied with their video offerings included with Prime, but I don't mind their 2-day delivery with Prime. The points returned from using an Amazon credit card don't equal the benefits I had with my Gander Mountain card.…

I'm only a reader, sadly. But occasionally a muse sits upon my shoulder and carries my attention in ways that seem to translate nicely to the written word. I'd enjoy receiving a living wage for writing, but many people know ways to write effectively; competing with them is not my goal. The advice I offered above is shared…

This. So much this. Every topic.

That 240 Minutes article is a winner. Thanks for bringing it to Thwack!

Regarding your questions near the end of the article, I've been wrong many times, made incorrect decisions, caused untold damage, probably ruined my credibility. And yet it all is made (somewhat) better by admitting it. Call it what you will (falling on your own sword, taking one for the team, acting like a grown-up, etc.)…

Regarding suing Google for tracking you when you think tracking is disabled, wake up. EVERYTHING YOU DO ELECTRONICALLY IS TRACKED. I'm not paranoid, just aware. Did anyone miss when the government invaded the big IT hubs in the U.S. and installed black boxes that mirror every bit of data into the government's network for…

I touched on some of those ideas here: Some Thoughts on Professional IT Training I'd LOVE to see your analysis of what happens when skimping on training.

When we see a story about major Facebook shareholders calling for Zuckerberg to be removed as Facebook's Chairman, can we trust it? In light of other stories in this latest Actuator, one might deservedly start treating EVERY story as suspect. Millenials and their followers have become accustomed to untrustworthy…

Containers for the simple among us have been around as long as the Internet, and even longer than that for those with analog backgrounds. By "simple" I'm thinking of the ways we manage tasks and files by files and folders, of grouping e-mails by topics or subject, or managing users by groups in Active Directory. The thing…
