I'm the babysitter. Four kids under eight.
Are any yours?
People frown on calling yourself a babysitter in those circumstances.
Or so I have been told.
Two of them. The 5 and 7 year olds. The 6 and 8 are not mine.

A friend of mine is doing some data security training at her job today (works at a mortgage bank). From what she told me, it would have been really easy for someone in her office to send wire transfers because there were no checks and balances for the routine. After a near-miss on a phishing email (someone nearly transferred $3 mil to the bad guys), they are stepping up internal training (a win for everyone), and she said they are even training on how to spot "vishing", which is apparently phishing via voicemail. I had never heard of that one.

Interesting topic.... although lots of people not realizing that Linux has already taken over most of the enterprise backend and Windows is only used when required.

Yeah... a little too much surprise that Linux is coming. Like, um, Windows was never the top OS. Linux displaced Solaris.

That SW user has like a half dozen of those half baked "oh noez, the linix adminz will take my job!!!" posts. That's what happens when you get a millennial reading too much reddit (and believing 100% of it).

Also lots of responses thinking Tier1 helpdesk is a Windows admin.

Critical thinking should be a mandatory course taught over multiple years

I feel like the Windows world tends to be a lot more insulated within itself. Like Linux admins tend to have a better view of what other Linux admins do, whereas I feel like Windows Admins often have little idea what Windows Administration even is.
Like even traditional snowflake Linux admins or desktop Linux admins tend to understand DevOps, even if they have never done it. But Windows Admins will often not know PowerShell scripting or even what DevOps even is.

Trying to figure out the password for an old Dell pc tower running Windows XP...
And looking for new motherboard and processor and HDD for our old family computer to rebuild.
Rarely worth replacing that stuff. Instead buy a used computer.

They have/had an all in one PC that was cheaper than just a desktop PC, all depends on what you are looking for.

Checking different git web frontends. What I am looking for is basically a wiki, bug/issue tracker and repository browser. Don't like GitLab much, Redmine looks good.

Windows Server 2016 TP5 install.

Getting the full Agenda put together for MangoCon. People need to get me their breakdown of their session plans..... @JaredBusch @travisdh1 @scottalanmiller just to name a few.

Entering negotiations with my future wife for building a house. This should be interesting. I said she can have everything but the basement and my half of the garage. I want my man cave.

IE: Hunny, all I need is a toilet and a bed. But she needs a 15,000 SQF house with a 30'x30' kitchen, 4 bedroom, 5 bath sprawl with gold-leaf covered walls.
Good luck.

Actually it's the opposite. She is so frugal I'm surprised we aren't consuming bread and water every night.

Nah, I stand by what I said
Ivanka Trump is smokin' and doesn't seem to be as pretentious as her dad.
