Pom in Oz, I stare at firewall logs for a living. Recently promoted to senior tech, still don't know what I'm doing so faking it until I make it. Outside of work: computer games, scuba diving, martial arts and natural movement.
Mike Shewardweirdly, a co worker used the word “interdict” in a slack message to me last week, and I commented that it wasn’t a word I heard for a while. then trump posted today with the word “interdict”.
Therefore, just to be safe, i have asked that same coworker to send another slack message that contains the phrases, “i am resigning,” and “sadly passed away on the toilet”, just in case.
Apologies for the vagueness of this post, why should become obvious.
So there's a place that uses 802.1x to enhance security (which is a good thing!), and last night some work was carried out on it.
It is now more than 12 hours after the change and end user devices still aren't connecting to the network after the work was completed.
I am guessing that the business continuity plans are going to be exercised/updated...
Trammell Hudson@platypus my bank used to allow custom security questions, so I set one to "what are you wearing?" and the answer to "that's very inappropriate please transfer me to your manager". the first time an customer service rep encountered it they couldn't stop laughing and had to actually transfer to a coworker to complete the call.

something i’ll never understand- if you are a journalist and you get to ask trump a question, why not just make some shit up to prove to the world how full of bullshit he is? he’ll make up an answer to whatever - show the world.
e.g.
“Mr President, regarding the war in Iran, the people of Lanora, specifically the Lanoran Guard Corps have offered to join your fight if you supply them with Stormlance rockets - what do you think of their offer and will you be supplying them?”
“Well, the Lanorans are famously brave, wonderful people, so yes I’m thinking about it. Stormlance rockets are tremendously powerful, perhaps the most powerful we’ve ever seen, so I’d like to get them some, we’ll see. Our stockpiles of Stormlance rockets are the biggest they’ve ever been since I ordered them to be built faster so we’ll see.”
