Gotta love security that is so annoying it leads to using complicated workarounds that are both a chore to work with and are less safe than what I would normally do.

As an admin myself, I have some Ansible scripts that provision a system depending on the users needs. I would move a lot of that to nixOS files these days but it works nonetheless.

The project I am in right now meanwhile gives me a Windows notebook that doesn't have
- WSL
- docker
- any way to run VMs
- a git client
- vscode
- notepad++
Yet they expect me do work on Linux stuff.
So naturally the work just gets done on a random linux notebook and I copy stuff to the "secure" work notebook.

@Eichi Ibrefuse to work for such companies as a matter of principle.

  • If they don't #trust me as a #sysadmin to setup my own system, then I see no basis of trust why I should expect them to pay me on time, cuz the latter one has a higher trust level than the former in my experience.
    • IDGAF what false pretense they put forward. #Windows is unuseable garbage and noone is even remotely able to compensate me for the mental health damages it causes to me.

Noone expects a Cardiologist to do a C-section whilst wearing boxing gloves and only having plastic knives but demanding the equivalent in IT is deemed okay, or.what?
