@Zugschlus @Cappyjax @WB2EEE @elly well, I'd rather not take or stay in a job than commit what I call "Professional #Malpractice"!

• I know this makes me an outlier, but the fact that I did my job so well that everything I deployed runs like clockwork to this day amd that I'm not short of offers tells me that being a honest #sysadmin is the way to go morally instead of being a #bootlicker!

Again: We have this entire shitshow because we allow #TechIlliterates and other dipshits to make up regulations on the spot.

• Also yes, there are means to harden #Linux on Sesktops amd Servers beyond the already existing #CommonCriteria and #CIS2 as well as beyond #PCIDSS compliance and good Distros will even offer a warranty and assurance for that directly - something #Microsoft just won't do for #Windows no matter the amount of money one shoves down their throat!

The fact that we even allow that #Govware and #Scareware [to even exist, espechally] in #CriticalInfrastructure when in both cases their #EULA explicitly bans that use-case is a testiment for the false priorities of regulators and their rules.

• So yeah, if a concrete-headed #TechIlliterate wants that they can have it - but not from or with me!

And then they all whine about why noone wants to work for them... What a shitshow.

Tell you what, I'd rather welcome such meetings, because the last time some CEO did that (with an absurd office mandate forcing a colleague into a 500km [one-way!] commute twice a week) they basically mobbed out the two best colleagues I had and subsequently imploded the Linux Infrastructure team.

• Last time I checked that company hadn't filled the vacancies and once Recruiters hear the story, they tend to fire said company as a client.
