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.

@beandreams Most independent media journalists who spend the most time documenting at various frontlines also know most of the CIRG names. There was still about 80% of CIRG who kept violating court orders to wear identification badges, to stop removing or taping over their identification badges & to provide their identification if asked when they've voluntarily engaged with the public or media. There was no real punishment for hiding their identities then or now.

I'm going to share what almost every indie media person had said to me at many different frontlines where CIRG thugs were sent. Almost all had to 'play nice' on some level to get any access to frontlines to do their documenting work. They targeted 3 POC indie journalists, that I met at camps, for over 8 months because those were the first to capture photos/vids of CIRG breaking laws/police brutality & one was threatened by RCMP after he exposed a lot of names & dug into their dirty work histories.

When MSM show up at frontlines, they're given an 'escorted tour' by CIRG. They don't interact with activists without CIRG babysitter, unlike indie journalists. MSM then publishes sanitized stories that does not reflect the on ground realities very well. MSM has also repeatedly published police PR as facts, when they are far from factual.
