Oh great, now I have someone moaning their keyboard it typing slowly and the mouse cursor is lagging

It's a wireless keyboard and mouse kit, they need to replace the batteries

Web company saying we need to whitelist their server to send contact form emails into the business. The contact form #email address it's sent from is the same domain the client business uses.

Now, tell me if I'm wrong here, but I'm long standing dying on the hill of "if the email is coming from external to the business, claiming to be within the business, that's wrong"
Either authenticate to the mail service, or send as your own authorised domain - it does not have to be the business domain, it's not going to customers.

Whitelisting? Will fix it, but no, don't do that, you're making a compromised web server compromise your entire business
SPF records? No, please no, worse than the above, now they can send to everyone
DKIM/DMARC/etc.? hahahahaaha, no, this is a website, it doesn't want to do any of that

Tell me if I'm wrong. Please. I need a sanity check.

Finished replacing a customers #Apple Macbook Pro screen with a replacement.

Bit of a ball-ache, especially having to remove 12 of the smallest screws known to man. Using a Precision Pentalobe 1 screwdriver I had to use a magnifying glass to even see the bloody things. And h't having fat fingers didn't help

Why can't they just use "normal" screws and not ones that I need to buy a 100 piece iFixIT kit LOL

ah, IT issues... yesterday I tripped a fuse when making dinner (the electric kettle somehow creates a power surge just before boiling, and when the oven runs at the same time it gets tripped).

When I put it back my small rpi server in the living room all of a sudden makes issues. It runs, and I can connect to it from the outside, but somehow not from inside my home network.
But I ping it and it seems to be on... but I just can't seem to ssh onto it anymore.

Argh, users who create folders in ALL CAPS really bother me! #networkfolders #network #lan #IT #ITwoes #users
The people who scream work stoppage at the most minor of tech issues are something else. I don't know whether to laugh or thoughts and prayers for what poor fuck deals with them on the daily. #ITWoes #WorkStoppage #DayDrunk #ImWalkingHere #Goldbricking
The best part about working for a public agency is the vast amounts of passive-aggressive emails I get from salespeople from various tech companies. Like, bruh, I'm not in charge of procurement, nor is that even the process. You can offer me all the gift cards in the world it won't change a damn thing. You can also have the biggest temper tantrum imaginable, and I will still never reply. #ITWoes #LULZ #PassiveAggressive #AngryEmail #Goldbricking
Oh no, oh no, oh no! PowerDNS seems to have taken a nap and it's definitely getting a longer siesta than it should. Do not worry, we'll be working on it to ensure it wakes up as fresh as a daisy! In the meantime, feel free to take a walk or grab a coffee, and check back on https://dns.cloud.cbh.kth.se for any updates. đŸ˜ŽđŸ’€â˜•ïž #PowerDNS #DNSdown #ITwoes #kthcloud
I'm in a meeting about network issues and I am absolutely not the smartest person in the room. #itwoes
