WOW.... lets go for it ....
Couple of days later......
How much, lets stick to sms, ive spoken to legal and marketing.... the cost of a hack will be cheaper, our dumbass insurance provider will cover us
But thats the same argument you gave against anti ransomware immutable realtime backups
Yeah i know, drinky poo's all round
The 100M is just paper money ...... it will keep flowing as long as the gdp figures look good, so uk.limited doesn't have to do a klana :)
Musn't slow down, "whats that u say.... the enviroment is a zero sum game", boohoo u kill joy, Spend and enjoy is, yay u can afford that bigger mortgage now from these new juicy gov.uk contracts
find any "normy", shrink windows partition in disk manager then install it on a their windows pc in dual boot mode, mint install sets itself up as default in grub
tell them about how to select windows at startup if they have any problems
you never hear back from them, especially (hate to say this) if you install chrome as default browser :(
few weeks/months later delete the windows entry in grub!
for every power user .... there's fedora kde for a similar dual boot experience!
they should not have the autofill feature enabled by default .... its an attack vector that is too dangerous for something holding such valuable info
also go to your settings online and enable some of the highest crypto stuff on your cloud stored wallet, so if the bitwarden site gets hacked your wallet would take centuries to decrypt (lastpass wallets are prob still being decrypted way after their leak)
ps u are using a strong inconveniant master password, yes???
still running the free two micro x86 instances and one free 24gb memory multicore arm64 instance in a nice little "cluster"
hosting quite a few services with room to spare (saving on homelab leccy costs), just find their vm/network management plane a bit of a pain as its geared more towards bigger workloads/infrastructure
been expecting them to kill this "golden goose" for a while, but no, still available me thinks
1. a middle class "wank"
2. usefull for fleets, clever taxi drivers etc etc with the right "excel sheet" doing the sums
still are, nothng wrong with either :)
When the data centre ponzi scheme hits the rails... a lot of cheap kit is going to hit the used market during the next decade or so off recessionary times ... opportunities for the frugal (a rare quality these days) mindset
IT pro's will be rushing to these jobs as a safe haven and things will improve big time
But above all you wont have to hide your occupation from professional fellow IT bro's, they will look at you with envy instead of an "uncomfortable silence" :)
Recession.... a natural process that even fiat currencies can't beat.. and needed at least once in every generation to bring a dose of reality to hubristic big heads
What did that scottish idiot say ...... "were gonna lick boom and bust", hubristic arse wipe.... should have ahipped him off to silicon valley with all the other arse wipes there :)
Means your essentially just someones bitch (unless their is a locally hosted option), mostly evident once someone new comes in to the board with a remit to generate additional revenue etc etc etc
I'd look closely at any recent changes in xeros financial statements on where the future is going
If the only product/service you offer is to your zero customers via the API your essentially just a xero employee with non of the employee benefits
peoples these days see work as a lifestyle not a shite necessary activity
the clever ones know this and just pretend to be part of the "work family"
the foolish ones actually believe its true
in reality no one should trust anyone in the workplace and put in adequate systems, whilst trying to hide this fact from the fools without upsetting them too much.
Also you can get more work out the fools for less as long as you can sustain their delusion :)
latest of many fortinets f ups
these are expensive firewalls....
they have simply chosen to prioritize renumeration over engineering costs over the years
if it was were open source, they would have been taken to the cleaners years ago over their shoddy engineering
but hey the bigger pay packets and shareholder dividends must have pleased
the idiots are the fools who paid premium price for them because they believed the marketing crap from the sales droids, using the jargon word "enterprise" again and again and again
then their are the super morons who open up WAN access to their firewalls, especially these crap ones... surprisingly a lotta of them about
This will be watered down to hell
why because ms has the spare change to keep firing legal shots over and over and over again
sadly though, bigger reason is ..... if your a good legal eagle, you'll be working on the microsoft team at X times the salary of the other side
with the other side looking at you will jealous envy
these companies should never been allowed to get so big and dominant... too late now
Humanities excrement will go boldly to places it has never been before!
And when it gets cheap and commoditized and ryan air starts up a service ... it will be dumped unceremoniously towards the sun ... because it cheaper
Probably boomerang back to the earth because ryans air miscalculated on their unmaintained cheapo hallucinating otbital excrement firing trajectory AI calculator :)
years from now you'll be able to look up into the night sky and see beautiful shooting stars of returning burning turds excreted by your ancestors :)
How apt and poetic haha
I think there are a lot of american normies out there who would welcome this
they only rear their heads during election time
next election will pove if above is true
Then again evolution has probably engineered it so that in any animal species the "majority herd" follow the brightest or the ignorant equally, so as to maintain fitness
From an across the pond perspective....
Need to get away from it.... It's just toxic
The only thing stopping homegrown alternatives is laziness and easy monies
We speak the samish language but the cultures have always been distinctly different
When government bodies start leveraging away from companies like oracle/ms/salesforce/meta etc... and above all the emotionally immature rich saddo's running them..... That is when the tide will turn
Time to find out how much your pension pots are investing in this tulip, sorry inference mantra! ;)
Pension pots dabbling in speculative greed like the average investor... If yes...... You couldn't make it up!!
This ones gonna be a biggie compared to the others so far, tulips onwards.... It'll effect everyone one way or another to different degrees
That's the real cause the above is just an effect of it
How many people moaning about the current situation were pleased when told their property had risen in value .... Again and again year after year
Humans are a lazy lot especially when easy money is flowing
Once property prices start going down it will get better
The much delayed great recesion is about to begin..... Unfortunantly harried on by the orange ignoramus
Cutbacks will be coming in nhs gov benefits etc.....
The in house program will have people's scambling to join in the coming months/years, as well as all the other jobs deemed too low end or badly paid at the mo
Shame it has to happen this way, but history has proven again and again it's the only way
After reading the china leak have decided to stop all work with hikvision products
Existing installs will support them until they find alternative maintainer
The unifi protect system albeit dearer has a better front end for sme end users and the recently released unvr a real alternative for a swap out with onvif support for a slow replacement of thecameras as they fail
Good safe job in the coming recession times
You'll never be out of a job
And every day you wake up with another security scare, good times are here..... Time to make your way up the slimy property ladder to the next rung/mortgage payment :)
Whole industry is a slimy wimy joke.
PS Don't ever say ban crypto currencies.... You'll be out of a job and sliding down the property ladder quicker then farage can down a pint
