This comment is how I know you don't work in the public sector. Those agencies' infrastructures are essentially run by contractors with a few GS personnel making bad decisions every chance they get and a few DoD personnel acting like their rank can fix technical problems.
- sneak 5y agoI'm not talking about running infrastructure, I'm talking about working with HR and making sure that the people they've hired as sysadmins aren't meeting with FSB or PLA agents in a local park on weekends and accepting suitcases of USD cash to accidentally `rm -rf` all of the Zookeeper/etcd nodes at once on a Monday morning.
- garbagecoder 5y agoI doubt it. We’re shit at critical infrastructure defense and the military cares mostly about its own networks. And industry really doesn’t want to cooperate. I was in cyber and military IT. Can’t speak for the IC, but I really doubt it.
