btw @Aaron-Studer I'm not trying to be a dick here, but you should be open to defending your ideas. I often tell my employees their ideas are terrible, and most start to catch on this means you need to defend it, even if it is a good idea and further explain the motivations and benefits. If you can't do that, maybe it's not a good idea.

When posting links please remove the tracking part of it:

Everything starting with the ? can be removed

That's just a CTR tracking thing, it's not like it's a session ID or anything unique to anyone.

A staggering 97% of critical Microsoft vulnerabilities reported over the past year could be mitigated by simply removing admin rights from user accounts, according to new research from security vendor Avecto.

Suddenly tons of crappy EHRs and PoSes stop working because they all require local admin rights to load a GUI and contact remotely to some crappy SQL Server

What about the book "JavaScript the Good Parts"

I also recommend this book to everyone I can.

People interested in that just google blogs and something takes them through 2 steps on setting it up though.

I like your enthusiasm, but I don't really see an overall usefulness to this in this day in age, unless you're trying to market to businesses as some sort of "you don't have a web site, start a blog" kind of thing.

Our adult entertainment division is legally based out of the Netherlands and we still charge USD for everything, because even so most of our customers are from the US or are familiar with the currency.

I was about to post "a breadboard, who gives a damn, I can get those everywhere, I've got tons lying around my house" but actually this "Explorer HAT" saves a lot of trouble I had to go through when messing around with Raspberry Pi, hours in fact.

Like Smart Pipe it's too close to reality.

Often with those choices you get PostgreSQL too, which would be my preference nine times out of ten.

You can go straight to hell. That's right, an old rivalry that I can no longer justify.

If you aren't going to stop it, might as well make it convenient.

That's a bad practice.

Is it? I'd say the same for making it inconvenient if the goal is to not have it. What you want are people not wasting time working around things. Make them not do it or make them efficient. Don't make them inefficient but able to do it.

If that were true we would be doing whit list only for websites. Though why even block Adult content? They can get around it. That's the logic you are using.

With smart phones I really don't know why people bother filtering content (aside from downloads, etc) anymore. Interestingly, we cannot block adult content here because we run a lot of adult content web sites, so yay porn at work (tbh, when it becomes a job, you become desensitised to it).

I always use MariaDB

I never do. I have to say though that MariaDB has made some great improvements in the areas of replication and some indices stuff.

Basically

He's reached a uniform state of entropy, not many can say that.

Since your new, please don't get obsessed with VLANs, in fact most of the time in offices they're not even really necessary, but often I see people creating 10, 15, 20 of them for sometimes even less computers. Use them when necessary or fitting a standard or security policy. That's just a warning.

Oh crap, I saw this topic and I said "1.0?" come to find out I've got a dead pixel.

DNS changes I think. That's why you keep both things running for at least a week just in case, especially since it's static content.

100% Italian here sorry...

There are Italian Jews, well, not as many since the Salò Republic turned them over to Germany, but you know, there's still some out there.

I guess we identified the antisemite here

Actually I almost got someone fired once by making a joke that they said something antisemitic to me, but I cleared that up, and was always careful about that. Now that I'm the boss I always accuse a new employee of being antisemitic the first time they disagree with me just to see what they'll do, it's always really funny.

Passover begins tomorrow night, so... no plans. But you all forgot about Passover didn't you? Bunch of antisemites!

JK.

Jabber is not very good. We have it here and I don't like it.

Real Jabber or Cisco Jabber?

That and I'm also curious as to why it's not very good, are we talking about client, server, the XMPP protocol, what?

The protocol is verbose as hell, but that's XML for you, and at one point AOL was even toying with the idea of switching to XMPP for AIM, but that was a long time ago. In general though it is cleverly designed, but implementations are all over the place, I still have the XMPP gateway to OSCAR I wrote like 14 years ago, it was deployed only briefly and was mostly abused by teenagers with too much stolen VB6 code and time on their hands.

@Tonyshowoff I just seem to do better now without the meds, I'm not as "out of it" I'm more creative when I'm not on them. But I've also not been on them in almost 20 years to.

I didn't realise how severe my AD(H)D was until I started taking Modafinil (it didn't make me feel any different, unlike an amphetamine like adderrall) and then stopped, I then started to realise I got a whole lot less done. That's what's so weird about it, you don't even know it's working until you stop taking it.
