Admins are the problem...
Huh, interesting story. When I look out across our binary realm, I see a patterned issue (a deliberate house of cards).
When you admins look in the mirror, does it reflect absolute integrity or dishonesty? You be the judge...sweet dreams.
The majority of admins I know, should make an immediate change!

Re: Admins are the problem...
In the end you always get caught. I know there are a lot of unfair firings in the tech field. Most of those firings (IMHO) come from personal dislike from above. I have had two bad situations in that realm but I never thought of doing anything in revenge. I just poured my energy into a new career or job. As a side note about security, To this day I deal with a lot of businesses that security is really not kept up because that costs money and they cannot seem to justify the cost. I read the whole story - Good read, Thanx

Everyone knows what disgusting vermin politicians are, I was reasoning technology admins needed a different skill set, like #1. Trustworthiness
It's no wonder the global IT industry is so arenaceous, you said it right there; there's no honor amongst shameless thieves. D'oh!

I hope that tomorrow, my children , grandchildren will not have to say, we drank a glass, pissed a pee and the world was over.

Meh, we'd all just be running BSD or OpenSolaris
Not as nice as GNU/Linux from the GNU angle to be sure, but once you try unix you never go back.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

Re: Admins are the problem...
Honestly, if it hadn't been for the success of Linux, who knows if we'd have companies like Red Hat, or giants like Google using Linux. I can therefore imagine a world where hardware support for various flavours of UNIX is only limited to very expensive server equipment, so running something like OpenBSD on a desktop would be difficult.
Maybe in that case, we would have seen more momentum around GNU/Hurd for the desktop? Who knows.
I know this sounds super dirty, but I could imagine just running macos and being in a full screen terminal all the time with a few open source programmes like Firefox or LibreOffice in the GUI. I'd just ignore the desktop as much as I can. Or maybe I'd be so pissed off that I'd just buy a huge server rack on ebay and run it as my BSD desktop with Plan 9 and Emacs or whatever.

Huh, "a new trend", really?
Might someone venture a guess the platform the largest majority of these 'unmanaged' IoT devices are running, and should admins be concerned?

Re: Admins are the problem...
Here's another disappointing example of how admin's drop the ball and failed to reach even the lowest watermark when we should aspire to the highest...unfortunately, it shows epidemic across the global infrastructure supporting our binary realm. In too many instances the same band who manage this framework, manage the supporting apparatus, a majority of which run a instance of Linux.

The last time I witnessed this three letter agency expose their position within the digital realm was with Microsoft Windows two years ago, and then it was so clearly out of character and practice it should've rang alarm bells across the plane[t] for all admins and users. This NSA Cisco issuance is so disconcerting...and yet crickets. Is anyone paying attention?

Re: Admins are the problem...
Can you not see it (examples galore)? The whole corrupt DARPA collection surveillance system (every sector) is currently being systematically and intentionally shutdown, across the plane[t]. Everything you have in the 'cloud' [third party] will very soon be 'disappeared' forever. The reboot onto a completely new non-compromised quantum system must happen for the 4A to be realized.

@argentwolf
Carl, this is totally gobbledegook. It is totally lost on me and probably most Debian Users.
This is a technical forum where generally people can say "I have a practical problem X" and more experienced people can possibly offera solution.
Please stop trying to shove your more extreme views our throats. Most people don't want it. Most people don't appreciate it.
If you can't just help people in need, just stop.
What? Trolls will scream censorship?
