This is not at all the copy cats I was looking forward to…

I still disagree.

All Muslims are terrorists and beat their wives then based on your logic.

You’re welcome to an opinion, but putting the actions of a minority extremist group on everyone else is the definition of a few things. At the very least it doesn’t help.

Also, if you’re so angry at that group of people, how does it help further your position to lash out at other people also upset with them?

If you are just interested in judging anyone affiliated with something you don’t like, you might have more in common with the abortion public shaming club.

Thanks for sharing. I have a hard time with anger in these circumstances. Lots of life’s not fair, etc. Stuff you don’t need to hear.

We also had a very hard time trying to have a kid. The cycles of hope and disappointment for us wasn’t nearly as bad, but I very much feared what you described. I’m sorry you guys had so many issues and with the severity, it’s heart breaking.

If it wasn’t for the emergency C-section and the OB who was put on earth to bring babies, my wife and son would have died. As angry as I was at the time, I’ve got nothing to complain about now.

It’s hard to understand there’s an opposite side that that, someone has to help people keep living, and provide some hope for another chance. All involved pay a huge price mentality speaking.

Life is nuanced. I wish more people could understand.

Take care.

Um no.

By your logic, you also live in Indiana, with it’s elected officials and thus you also caused this.

Maybe you want to know what I look like so you can do some more…

I also think a long this line as well.

Depending on how people frame this, I’m not interested in hearing people say what others should not do, I’m only interested in hearing how they’re helping.

If a vocal opposer isn’t first offering education, support, food, care, or otherwise bettering someone’s circumstances, I don’t think they are helping. Feels more like judging, and I’m not interested.

Won’t someone please think of the investors…!

I’m just glad they’re still distracted with torrents…

rawdawg some torrents

LOL! Did you spray 1’s and 0’s in their face when you were done?

Good comments.

Do you think there’s still a lot of traditional or legacy thinking in IT departments?

Containers aren’t new, neither is the idea of infrastructure as code, but the ability to redeploy a major application stack or even significant chunks of the enterprise with automation and the restoration of data is newer.

Lol, even in 2024 with free VPN/overlay solutions…they just won’t stop public Internet exposure of control plane things…

Blank check

Funny how that seems to often be the case. They need to see the consequences, not just be warned. An ‘I told you so’ moment…

Agreed.

Dont we all use centralized management because there is cost and risk involved when we don’t.

More management complexity, missed systems, etc.

So we’re balancing risk vs operational costs.

Makes sense to swap out virtual for container solutions or automation solutions for discussion.

Yeah, that’s pretty risky for this point in time.

I guess the MBA people look at total cost of revenue/reputation loss for things like ransomware recovery, restoration of backups vs the cost of making their IT systems resilient?

Personally, I don’t think so (in many cases) or they’d spend more money on planning/resilience.

Seems like your org has taken resilience and response planning seriously. I like it.

I didn’t know how much the sheriff has to do with impd department policy/culture. In a metro department, I think that’s the chief of police, which I think is appointed?

Probably badger the city council and your local reps.

contract “options” are indeed normal. You could also lump in government contracts into the category your thinking about. I’ve never heard of a scenario where the vendor broke contract by not honoring the options. I also have never dealt with a vendor getting bought out and then not honoring existing contracts. Super fun to watch the corporate drama. I personally don’t care for the private equity style business that seems to be an even bigger problem than the investor first/profit centric model that I thought was the worst thing.

There’s a lot there, thanks.

I have been painstakingly laying the ground work for segmenting network into data center management plane, and future overlay networks for internal applications and dmz / public services.

It would have been easy to burn the place down and start over…

Ever look at emby?

So, it’s reasonable to assume they’d mostly have no need for a driver’s license?

What about the other things? How do you buy beer without a DL? I know broke people who still buy beer.

I’m still having a hard time imaging not having one at all.
