    You don’t know what you’re talking about.

    As much as I would love to go over to a purely Linux system there just isn’t the support. I would not relish the prospect of trying to administer 5,000 laptops, and 300 desktops without the benefit of active directory user groups. Even with all of the messing about that Microsoft has done with Entra, it is still a far better mass device management platform than anything available on Linux and Apple haven’t even tried.






  • For the longest time the admin password for the router at work was PasswordReset.124, the useless penetration testers didn’t even pick up on it.

    I’ve changed it to something actually random and then, following established industry standard security practises, somebody else has gone and written it on a post-it note, and stuck it to the router. So we’re all fine now.

    I’m extremely tempted to “hack” the network and bring it down only to be the hero that brings it back up after a few hours of non-productivity. But I feel like if they found out that might be a firing offence.


  • A deal with Russia isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

    This war is only even possible because they’ve already violated an agreement they had with Ukraine. It would be insane for Ukraine to agree to a different deal for safety when they already did that and got back stabbed.

    Meanwhile Europe will push Ukraine not to sign the deal (not that much persuasion will be necessary) because Europe doesn’t want to set the precedent that Russia can just eat away at Europe.

    As for the threat from the US that Ukraine will get a worse deal if they don’t sign, given how crap the current deal is, I can’t see how it could reasonably get any worse, unless it’s total surrender, but that won’t fly because there would be literally no point even considering that. The Trump administration really are useless at negotiating, they think they can strong arm Ukraine, but they don’t actually have any cards.

    What if we’re not American have never had guns in the first place?

    Why is every discussion of left vs right politics always couched as if only the United States has politics and the rest of the world essentially doesn’t exist in any real meaningful sense?
