I'm surprised he's appointing high paying jobs to new positions during hiring freeze and revoking remote work to cull employees and reduce head count...

Article covers Braun's intentions to reduce state employees by revoking remote work - my opinion.

Anyone have really good support for removing remote or hybrid work?

All I hear is rhetoric about productivity in person and collaboration, but too many studies say that's unnecessary.

Is this a veiled attempt to reduce headcount or is there actual legitimacy to removing remote work?

Could anyone explain this in a way that doesn't make me hate it?

The usual arguments I relate to are things like: we are taxed multiple times for vehicle ownership. Purchase, plates, mandatory insurance, gas tax, parking. Did I miss any?

Now I know there's plenty of people who would rather have robust public transportation, which would be nice, but I don't see that happening as a result of all this money I'm already paying.

People who make just enough or barely enough to afford to drive to work could now have to pay for the right to trade their precious time for money.

Insert tirade here about that.

I've heard view points regarding tolls:

recover costs to maintain interstate infrastructure used by commercial trucking to move the rolling warehouse of America around so Jeff Bitchboy can have a Venice wedding and I can have my materialistic lifestyle delivered to my door possibly the same day...sorry slipped into rant.

Should I be looking at this a different way before I exercise the almost non-existent power I have as a resident and voter, which is sending emails to my elected corrupt aristocrats and beg them to consider regular people, darn did it again.

My reading of the article shows a decision that the right of residents to sue the government for neglect actions was not specifically granted in this instance.

Public Service Announcement:

Have you checked out Sophos XG Firewall for home use lately?

It's basically an enterprise firewall fully licensed for personal use.

  • All the firewall stuff
  • Normal IPS
  • Built-In easy transparent SSL/TLS proxy
  • Web Application Firewall

I like it better than PF/Open Sense right now.

Not sure why the original post was deleted, but I voiced anger at the hypocrisy of the article subject

I consider myself slightly in a conservative, Christian viewpoint camp. I say slightly because as I get past middle age, all those views or opinions have shifted.

I'm not a huge fan of abortion, but my opinion is slightly more nuanced and that's not a topic I think will be fruitfully discussed online.

Button line, seeing things like this however make me slightly lose my fucking mind.

Insert huge rant here about hypocrisy and unreasonable people, laced with outrage and much profanity.

I know others in my circle who also feel similarly. My hope is that people might know even church going conservative people think this is fucking bullshit and that piece of shit attorney general need to go. Fuck him.

After reading this article, I had a few dissenting thoughts, maybe someone will provide their perspective?

The article suggests not running critical workloads virtually based on a failure scenario of the hosting environment (such as ransomware on hypervisor).

That does allow using the 'all your eggs in one basket' phrase, so I agree that running at least one instance of a service physically could be justified, but threat actors will be trying to time execution of attacks against both if possible. Adding complexity works both ways here.

I don't really agree with the comments about not patching however. The premise that the physical workload or instance would be patched or updated more than the virtual one seems unrelated. A hesitance to patch systems is more about up time vs downtime vs breaking vs risk in my opinion.

Is your organization running critical workloads virtual like anything else, combination physical and virtual, or combination of all previous plus cloud solutions (off prem)?

I've seen companies do all sorts of home grown things.

One uses a spreadsheet that is just the configuration row by row, they turn it I to text file and copy to startup, reload.

I have used git servers to do the same thing, but with obvious change tracking history of git.

What real or home grown things are you using?

Currently using an ISR4461x. Now 17.7+ supports ssl VPN.

Should we learn flexvpn or do ssl VPN?

Every piece of shit greedy corporation can't hide from their lies when they say things are too expensive to implement correctly or pay people appropriately when they are simultaneously posting profits measured in billions...

I like the recent estimates of his appearance. This artist renders him even less good looking than probably most imagined when they think of someone from that region of the world, which makes me believe it's closer to appropriate.

Jesus wasn't a rock star. In Christianity and the new testament, God didn't portray himself in any way other than meager and a bit of a communist. That's the beauty of part of the story.

Edit, I think Jesus would have been easy to put on the no fly list, or walk by without a second thought, which is a challenge to our ways of thinking.

Any chance this is a result of a few decades of consolidation of power, corporate ownership and influence, and partisan political views killing people's trust in the news?

How do you reverse all that?

Since someone else brought up superapps, do they seem like an initial attempt to get around the manufacturer's app store lock-in?

Super apps allow adding mini apps. Seems like an app store.

The goog/apple app stores are already saturated by malware, I can't imagine some mini app store would do better. Even if the big two did do a better job, how would they go about vetting all the code these super apps might have access to?

I guess I'm too jaded, but it seems like just another malware loader you intentionally install.

Am I being too hard on the concept? Are there any really good ones you've used?

You remember how all the US politicians are funded by the same huge corporations and rich people who all benefit from the regulators doing nothing but pretending to care?

Remember how the politicians pander to Americans by blaming rich people for all of life's problems and saying they'll make them pay their fair share, but those politicians have multiple houses and blatantly conduct insider trading every day, but Americans still vote for them time after time?

I'd like to say you could just not use their products, but that means you have to replace windows with some other os, not buy a major manufacturer cell phone, or do much else 🤷

I have a huge issue with judges. They can put people in jail for almost no reason while in their magical room.

They can let murders out on bail, against prosecutors request and not be held liable for the second murder they commit on bail.

Yes, you can appeal verdicts, but that's a long and expensive process. Judges have an extraordinary amount of power that I think should be split amongst multiple. Similar to jury.

So, with all these negative opinions of reddit and spez, I'm both curious what the business world generally thinks of him, and their plan for the business.

Ultimately, the interesting thing will be if investors will give any money when they IPO.

I personally wouldn't, but because I don't like the leaders. Some people don't care, they just want returns where ever they come.

I'm a bit of a hater for this company, and hope their IPO is a flop. We'll see.

Their idea is that is hides all the user info from advertising companies. Downside is your browser is an ad slot machine.

Which is best?

Tracked or ad machine?

I'm more surprised people aren't talking about the fact that since it's running on the client side, someone would just figure out a way to hack and block all the ads even easier.

Sorr, but I love the double sided hypocrisy here.

Here's a chatbot instead of a person, listen to it since we won't take your calls. But, we don't honor what is says!

Thanks Canadian court for giving us a rare middle finger to the business.

I wonder what would have been revealed if he had published tax information on all of Congress.

I feel like them calling for such harsh treatment isnl a defense mechanism for knowing they either use the same tactics,.or they don't like when someone mentions all the legal insider trading/conflict of interest they all do?

I'm pretty sure every senator and rep has more money then everyone I know.
