It's pretty weird to me how Apple/iOS/etc. require you to type in your password for certain things, like installing an OS update. Why do you not trust the same biometric that allowed me access to the system?
Can I send @Windows10 a portion of my electricity bill for every time I say to shut down and instead it chooses to install updates then shut down, but doesn't actually shut down at all after?
Cloudflare blocking access to Discord for anyone else this morning?
I’m excited to be speaking at the upcoming Cloud Security and Compliance Series - CS2 conference in Denver, CO. I would love to see you there. You can find out more about the conference and register here: https://cs2.cloud/denver #CS2 #CS2DEN #CMMC #cybersecurity
Has anyone used a resume service that they would recommend? I've generally had positive feedback on mine, but would like to take it to the next level.
Looking for ideas on Document Management for configuration settings - say you have 100 servers with 100 applications, and need rigid documentation around how everything was configured and incremental changes throughout its lifecycle. How would you store that?
Fun short story about NASA and network equipment, circa Oct 2010:
I worked for a USAF PMO as a Network Engineer, primarily helping write requirements for enterprise-wide acquisitions. This PMO also ran the service desk for a majority of the tickets that a local base couldn't manage themselves, like things that required vendor engagement since we managed many of those contracts at enterprise scale.
Patrick AFB had a ticket open that their SONET infrastructure linking the Patrick/CCAFS bases together had failed, a week before what was to be Discovery's final launch.
I pop on site Monday and have the base POC show me the management system in question. It's an old SUN SPARC box with a dead SCSI drive. It's clear this isn't a networking problem but a systems problem. I ask for any backups while I request a replacement drive be sent.
Once I get the replacement drive, we learn there are no backups of this particular system, but they have the OS reinstallation CDs and the management software CD. So I proceed to install SUN OS (can't recall what version, but it's safe to assume it wasn't current) and then the SONET management software. No configs, no backups, no hardening, only the local UN+PW, but the system was back online, nearly exactly as it was before.
I was a contractor and couldn't change my flight plans, so I spent the remainder of the week hanging around Cocoa Beach and watching the Blue Angels practice. Sadly, the launch of Discovery was delayed so I didn't get to see it, but I'll remember that week for a long time.
Recruiter emailing my work email... bold.
I guess here's my introduction too. Dad of 2 boys, 4 and <1, greater Boston area.
Interested in computers since I was handed an Atari ST at 10 or so, ran a little Synchronet BBS for friends on our family Packard Bell at 12. Took 17 years to graduate college because I enjoyed working in IT too much. Everything from Helpdesk to Protocol Interop testing to Net/Sys Win/Lin and Security and Compliance.
Nowadays I'm focused on the nightmare that is NIST SP 800-171, DFARS regs, CMMC, and "Cooey" (CUI) the last 5 or so years.
Enjoying the overall vibe I get here, so I'm hoping to be a lot more active than I was on the birdsite.
