Is it Friday yet?
Entra sign-ins slow as balls for anyone else?
Jason LefkowitzIf you ever wondered why Texas so reliably sends Republicans to Congress, part of the reason is that Texas Republicans won control of the state legislature for the first time since Reconstruction in 2002, and they immediately set about gerrymandering the state so Democrats could never win a majority of the state's Congressional districts again

They pay $34 for burgers. Should their fire department service be free? Opening a new fire department in one of NYC's richest neighborhoods has some of America's pettiest journalists asking silly questions in headlines again.🤡
The article acknowledges the fire department analogy, then blows past it.🤷🏿‍♂️
The solve for "Sometimes when a service like free childcare is available to all, marginalized communities get squeezed out," is "Address that racism."
It's not "Therefore waste incredible amounts of time and money trying to means test something that society should just make available to all.🤡"
Hey #devops #git peeps, mind if I pick your brains for a bit?
I maintain a couple of internal GitHub repos at $Employer for various windows app install scripts (PowerShell), that are used to deploy our EDR, DLP, and other such tools. These all grew out of a script template (or if I’m feeling fancy, framework) that was meant to abstract away some differences in behavior between a couple legacy MDM platforms and our planned future platform.
Changes to these scripts fall into three gross categories:
I’m gonna skip version changes, because they’re essentially a subclass of app-specific logic.
My workflow in developing the template generally goes something like this:
What I’m interested in is automating step 5, so that on push of an updated template version, all my scripts update too. Automating step 4, so that on push of an app-specific script containing updated template logic, the template repo gets updated would be pretty cool too.
What I don’t understand is how I could programmatically merge in only the desired changes (template logic) , and not undesirable ones (app-specific logic)?
Particularly interested in anyone doing it without using Kolide. Our tech-stack at work is gonna be static for the foreseeable future, so new tooling is gonna be out. I’m most interested in doing the best we can using what’s described there as “dishonest” tools.
We’re also limited in some ways by “inheriting” security controls and implementation requirements from a couple layers of public entities, so we don’t have the freedom to say e.g. from their examples “actually it’s completely fine for you to self-manage your employer-owned device”, having an organization-controlled device management agent capable of doing lots of “dishonest” things is a hard requirement, and I think we’ll run into similar in many other cases.
Anybody out there actually practicing Kolide’s https://honest.security model?
To the surprise of absolutely no one who knows me, AuDHD… I think the only part that surprised them was me actually following through on the evaluation process…
Oh holy crap I got my diagnosis...
