Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

did this dude not know about usb-sticks?

Even before that, dude didn't even try to make it look plausibly legitimate so it didn't invite suspicion for when someone inevitably stumbled on the file.

Dude was definitely never a kid with only shared access to a computer, that's for sure...

Any mid to large size company has the USB ports of their desktop PCs disabled, disconnected or even glued shut. At least the ones that take security seriously.

I can't imagine doing my job with a computer like that. I need to be able to plug in scanners and label printers and other specialty equipment and swap out peripherals as they break like how would that even work?

Normally those are pre-approved by IT and you wouldn't be the one swapping those out. You would put in a request saying hey this item is broken can you please troubleshoot it and somebody would come out troubleshoot it and swap it out as needed.

Then IT needs to be onsite 24/7 and that's just not realistic for a looot of places. Especially not rural med but I'm in in a hospital in a mid to large size city I'm just in 50 bed or so location that's in a part of the city nobody GAF about.

Usb devices have addresses that include the vendor and product id. So IT can allow list from approved products or vendors and that will prevent people randomly plugging in devices and infecting the network. Though, it wouldnt stop a malcious device from spoofing an address from a approved device, but an targeted attack needs more sophisticatation security anyway.

I do a lot of work for a hospital system in the intermountain West. They do have rural locations. And they do have IT stuff that is on call 24/7 at every single one of their locations. So it's not unheard of it's not unusual it's pretty normal. I do a good chunk of the work I do for them which is mainly network and systems upgrades as well as Wi-Fi and access points. And I do most of it overnight with one of their IT staff.
