Is it just me, or does calling BS on an poor IT decision make anyone else feel better about their day?
I don't go and look for items to call BS on, but when I do see it, or get replies from IT people trying to validate their reasons, like locking a drive with hardware based encryption, and then seeing them cry foul about it seems like they made a bad IT decision.
Critical company data shouldn't be kept on a user device ever. Use encryption to deny access to the system from anyone unauthorized, hardware encryption even, but don't keep critical data on the user device.
Make them connect to a VPN, 2FA the whole nine, this way you're never stuck with a "we can't get your data, it's on there, but we just can't access it because of encryption"

This is why I often find my self saving online guides as a PDF and keeping it for me records.
I hate it when a site administrator up and removes something, seemingly out of the blue.

That's the problem i'm sure I booked marked the website and copied the contents into a work doc. But I think over the last 12 months of re-installs (I think at least 3) I've lost them.

I hate it when I do that to myself, and seriously, who hasn't at some point?

that's why I've started posting the information of importance here on ML instead of just a link to the site.

That's one reason i've always thought of doing a blog type site listing things i've done and how.

You could use a microblog platform. Twitter if you don't mind things being public. Status.net if you want to run your own.

The main concern with having a blog - microblog, is you getting board/tired of it. That and it's yours. of course ML could go under tomorrow and the effort I've put in here would be lost, but that's much less likely with a site like than than a personal blog.

Of course finding anything here is only marginally easier than another major IT community site...

That's arguable - even if you have to restort to Google searching ML, it's all open and searchable. Hopefully over time ML will gain in popularity and will get more searches, more new members and more content.
A blog, unless you manage to become famous will always be very limited in size.

It isn't the "searchability" necessarily, but the findability. I've tried to dig through the detritus looking for specific posts/articles, and finding them is very time consuming. Perhaps I need to use the Advanced Search more.
