Just a dad with a sysadmin hobby … leaving reddit
People can grow and change. Not saying he did or didn’t. Just saying that people aren’t a monolith. It’s plausible he just grew and his views changed / evolved.
That being said, it’s highly convenient where he’s positioned himself these days…
For similar reasons that’s why chewing is important too.
This is why every JR Engineer I’ve mentored is handed a copy of Sysadmin Code Ethics day one along with a copy of Practice of System and Network Administration.
We really need a more formal process for having the title of engineer and we really need a guild. LOPSA/USENIX and CWA are from what I can tell the closest to having anything. Because eventually some congress person is going to get visited by the good idea fairy and try to come down on our profession. So it’s up to us to get our house in order before they do.
I don’t know about that. In the HPC space we use a lot of EL distros. Mainly Centos & now Rocky. Most of the nodes run the os in ram too. Though almost all those kind of systems have no internet connection and don’t use things like crowdstrike. I’ve worked for a few places where the only part of the company that used windows was the office staff eg accounting, hr, etc. everything else is/was using an EL distro or upstream of one eg Fedora. Those type of places usually don’t mess things like crowdstrike for a lot of different reasons eg the kind of data they’re processing and security requirements on that data.
Depends on your management solutions. Intel vPro can allow remote access like that on desktops & laptops even if they’re on WiFi and in some cases cellular. It’s gotta be provisioned first though.
So when’s the last time you touched some grass? It’s a lovely day outside. Maybe go to a pet shelter and see some puppies? Are you getting enough fiber? Drinking enough water? Why not call a friend and hang out?
And NextDNS too!!
Don’t worry a quick google search will tell us to use a non toxic glue mixed with vanta black to keep privacy intact
Yes & No.
From what I remember from that time it wasn’t really a lot of people going on about privacy at that time. We were more concerned with how they just grabbed the BSD networking stack without saying anything about it.
There were a few things w/rt activation that people were pissed about. That was more towards the XP era though.
Though maybe someone else remembers it differently than I do since I wasn’t paying attention to privacy at that point and I don’t remember seeing anything about it in PCMAG or G4
I’ve always trusted them to do what they’re great at… which is get a product nearly 100% perfect, then back it up about 20%, and polish it off by shooting themselves in the foot.
Which I’ve always found it insane that EVERY product they ship is like that. The only exceptions (IMHO) to that were Office, DOS5, Win7, (Maybe XP)
lol, yeah that’s an important asterisk for sure!
That’s what IPFS is for. It’s ideal for that kind of stuff
I got it and it made me laugh
Fucking poor people!! Have they tried NOT being poor!? Bunch of lazy entitled poors!! /s
As am I! Just completely shocked!! And OUTRAGED!! /s
Samsung, Ubisoft, Epic, Chiquita, Dole, Apple, …
Pretty much any big corp is gonna be really shitty…
By earned I mean it takes some efforts to gain that knowledge. For example some kind of training, studying, practice, etc. it’s typically during that process you learn how to safely and correctly do things
Info hazards are going to be more common place with this kind of technology. At the core of the problem is the ease of access of dangerous information. For example a lot of chat bots will confidently get things wrong. Combine that easy directions to make something like napalm or meth then we get dangerous things that could be incorrectly made. (Granted napalm or meth isn’t that hard to make)
As to what makes it dangerous information, it’s unearned. A chemistry student can make drugs, bombs, etc. but they learn/earn that information (and ideally the discipline) to use it. Kind of like in the US we are having more and more mass shootings due to ease of access of firearms. Restrictions on information or firearms aren’t going to solve the problems that cause them but it does make it (a little) harder.
At least that’s my understanding of it.
So everyone using FF just had to start visiting more .gov websites (using the correct user agent) ?
I hate to say it but this is one of many reasons a good portion of the non voting left voted for Trump by not voting.
