It's a burn but it's accurate. Had three consultancies in (high end well known ones) and and two in house certified to their eyeballs professional cyber security experts in charge. All they did was tick a fuck load of boxes, run s

Can confirm.

I thought their goal was collecting vendor certifications.

It kept producing more idiots when we didn't treat them like this and this is easier so fuck it.

Management frowned at this suggestion.

I work with 500 idiots. Willingly and cluelessly are interchangeable.

I developed a culture of laziness. With this comes great focus and time optimal solutions. At most there will be a TODO file in the directory the project is unceremoniously thrown into. If it’s not obvious what it does I might write a coupl

When I was a kid our teachers would bugger off and have a smoke occasionally. We all just carried on and did work. Perhaps the problem is with the children and by proxy the parents.

From experience of having kids at school for the last 20 years, they are little enclaves for authoritarian cults. Now we invented software and technology to enable this further. All that needs to come along is a matching political ideology

Has anyone looked at the fact most people are too poor to buy new vehicles? Here in the UK the average vehicle age is 11 years old, most vehicles are second hand and the EV battery warranties top at 8 years. The financial risk of an out of

Well usually you have to overpurchase up front and they sell you a 3 year lock in to make it affordable capital cost. Then when you eek over it temporarily, the sales guy calls you up within 10 nanoseconds to bill you for more. I was gettin

It's difficult to control data ingress so you end up in debt and on repayment plans. Which are expensive.

I think we had the same sales rep.

by baz00 3y ago
Yeah it's easier getting rid of chlamydia than Splunk sales reps.
645.
by baz00 3y ago
Splunk does not scale to large data sources. It fucks out at a few TB and then you have to spend hours on the phone trying to work out which combination of licenses and sales reps you need to get going again. By which time you can just suck

Thanks for the tip - appreciated

I actually had no idea there were markets for this. I have a huge box of cards from the mid 1990s here. I bought them from an actual shop in Cambridge, UK or traded them in person. I haven't even thought about the game since I stopped

I did some contract work for another credit agency many moons ago and they pretty much brainwashed all full time staff into referring to data subjects as customers. A fellow contractor made a very snide analogy of suggesting that the Nazis

I would suggest that they need more POSIX incompatible flags adding to all the commands.

As a citizen of the UK government I believe I am merely in a state of superposition. I do not exist until observed by HMRC.

I agree. YAML is hell. XML is just completely misunderstood. This one bit me recently. Parse it and see what happens. - yaml: - 01 - 08 This one works as expected: <list> <value>01</value>

You can make an NTFS USB stick as well then run bootsect on it and it’ll boot. That’ll take wim files of any size.

The only thing I like about this is the idea of the bandwhich tool. The rest of it is adding more mechanism than is required for such a utility. I see so much these days where people can't see the simplest path to the solution of the p

Yep. I'm a pretty staunch believer in free software and freedom. But quite frankly after dealing with all sorts of abusive third party subscription services over the years and dubious quality bits of software, I'd rather be in a m

Thank you for this. Next time AWS try and tempt me over to them I’ll tell them literally fuck off. Not up for those games.

Never even heard of that one!

AWS support is pretty fucking terrible generally. We’re a very high rolling enterprise customer and it’s pretty obvious that some of their shit is being managed by two guys in a shed somewhere who don’t talk to each other.

What's that, the second major data loss / leak event from MSFT recently. Is your data really safe there?

Step one - reduce product cycles to every 2 years. I bet no one ever thinks that!
