I am not certain, but I think they would like to stay in the O365 realm. Though, I will make note of that...

What ever happened to just sending a company wide "Thanks Karen" emails?

Why does a project like this even exist?

Kudos are a big part of many companies, and it's not hard to imagine why. Many companies will actually pay some bonuses or gift cards for kudos. A $50 visa gift card is an investment well spent when you have someone busting their ass. I have been on the kudos side and when you get a small token of thanks beyond a "Karen" email it means alot.

Sure, but sending out a Kudos through some specific application has nothing to do with the reward aspect that you're discussing, and wasn't at all a part of what I was discussing in my post that you opt'd to downvote.

This is specifically the delivery of an announcement, email has a very good delivery record. Why use something else for the announcement?

Someone from HR or wherever will still deliver the reward in person for that employee busting their ass.

This is how he should be deploying.

Since my ip is getting banned by fail2ban- I would think that they are.

I’m down to getting winscp or FileZilla to connect, I finally can connect via ssh. Trouble with manually typing a 32 character complex pass.

That's what keys are for.

Or a password manager, lol.

That is just it.

I have and use a password manager. Same one on the Desktop as the phone. Even with auto-type it wasn't working. So - that "wasn't" the issue here.

Hmm... SSH limited to a specific IP set?

Edit: Or config file changes by updates that now block root logins?

netstat -tulpn

to verify

Remember.... just because you are virtual does not imply that your storage is virtual, nor does virtual storage imply that the storage will be shared between workloads or VMs. None of that is implied or suggested in going virtual. You still maintain all proper storage management decision making when virtual as you did physical. You don't get to give any of that up.

@imager said in One more Endpoint Manager - open source - what does it sounds?:

Windows servers are still relevant. Not everything can be accomplished on Linux.

So no rebuttal? No one suggested that Windows Servers aren't relevant, that was a very emotional response to saying that "requiring a specific OS" was a ridiculous problem to have in this day and age. Your response gives the impression that you are internally struggling with ascribing value to Windows and sense any suggestion that they are not absolutely necessary as an attack on your own value. Let it go dude, our professional value is not tied to vendor products. As IT folks, we can't care about one product over another, our whole value comes from being above that stuff. That's for best buy workers and Internet trolls, not business infrastructure decision makers who need to stay focused on how our decisions drive profits.

You make the wild claim that not everything can be accomplished on Linux. This flies in the face of all known programming knowledge since the beginning of computers. Care to elaborate what you know that no one else in the industry knows?

You're what - assuming IT just didn't mention to management that it needs yearly updates/etc? Well, if that's true, then some of the blame belongs to IT, but some is still on the manager/owner because they aren't considering their business holistically.

Yes, I'm assuming IT didn't mention it because they didn't think of it - as it's not immediately obvious to everyone.

If they did mention it and management decided against it, then it is what it is.

A full life cycle of the device/solution should be undestood when implementing.. if not, you've already failed.

Granted, nothign says you have to stick to that.. but at least there's an understanding up front.

Right, this is something anyone in any management, owner, investor, or just generally an adult, should already know. If you commission something, you are responsible for ensuring the ongoing support.

Imagine deciding to start your own car company but assuming you don't have to worry about parts or support after you make them.

You can't blame IT for not thinking about the basics. It's not ITs job to figure out all the common sense being missed everywhere in a company and jump into other peoples' jobs and tell them what they are doing wrong. That's what AJ would have done, and you know how that works. IT is great to ask questions of when you want some general advice and you just need smart people, but no company wants IT acting like they are in charge of even the CEO and trying to run the company. There's a natural power grab that seems to happen in IT, it's some weird counterpart to the tendency to accept responsibility for absolutely anything and everything.

It's fine for IT to help wherever needed. But we have to keep track of when we are doing IT duties and when we are filling in the gaps of other departments (often a gap in the CEO, CFO, lawyers, etc.) because they are failing and know that IT will do expensive jobs for "free" if you ask nicely.

Ofcom appoints online safety head to take on big tech

Regulator Ofcom has announced Anna-Sophie Harling will be its online safety head, dealing with how the tech giants regulate harmful speech.
She will be in charge of implementing the Online Safety Bill, due to come into effect later this year if approved by Parliament. Ofcom will be able to fine tech firms that fail to remove offending content up to 10% of their global revenue. But one expert said this would require "bold leadership". Ms Harling is currently managing director for Europe at NewsGuard, which audits online publishers for accuracy. "I'm really excited to be joining Ofcom's online-safety team," she said. "Legislation will enable us to introduce meaningful transparency where it has been lacking and empower Ofcom to hold platforms to account. "I can't wait to get started."

Yeah i'm just copying the image to a new file and using gimp to add the values where i need them :)
Guess i'll get quicker at it the more i do it.

uhh i keep getting this error "The libvirtd service does not appear to be installed. Install and run the libvirtd service to manage virtualization on this host."

So did you do what it said?

@dustinb3403 said in Checking multiple Directories to confirm all files are identical:

I know I could use a tool like Create-Synchronicity to force 1 other directory to match the source, but I would prefer to find and list the differences in the directories.
Maybe powershell can help?

Yeah, PowerShell can help with this in the same way closing the front door of a house will fix a fire inside of it.

Has anyone played with Windows Defender Application Control, specifically Group Policy to turn it on for each workstation?

I have a request from a client to do this, but I am very leery of using group policy for something like this.

Are they all running Win 10 Enterprise?

For sure no... Win 10 Pro.

Then it won't work as it's a requirement.

I think specifically it's using Group Policy for WDAC that's enterprise edition only, right?

Yes, you can use it in Pro, just not enforced by a GPO

Over-60s with only virtual contact 'more lonely'

Over-60s who relied on only telephone and online contact felt more lonely during the pandemic, a study suggests.
"Virtual contact on its own is not beneficial to older adults' mental health," researcher Dr Yang Hu of Lancaster University told the BBC. However, when used to supplement face-to-face contact, it was associated with "enhanced mental wellbeing". But researchers stress their findings reveal an association, not causation - and more research is needed. The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Sociology, was conducted by Dr Yang Hu and Dr Yue Qian, at the University of British Columbia in Canada. The researchers used data collected from 5,148 older people aged 60 or over in the UK and 1,391 in the US, surveyed both before and during the pandemic.
