We had one client that couldn't get their financial poo poo together so we had to do that every single month for the time I was there. Made me feel good because they were dumbasses in other ways, too.

Farking Bastage: Sep 22, 2007; Who dey think gonna beat dem Bengos!

The State department of Law enforcement can suck my dick. :mad:

My group operates the network for a ~250k resident municipality. Our entire WAN is dark fiber. Owned by us and nothing riding on it but our traffic. Criminal Justice data goes through the police department segment and out a special circuit and ASA owned by State law enforcement as well. There's other safeguards as well like Netsight policies that disallow non LEO subnets to see anything at the station as well. The police station connection to the 911 dispatch is also dark fiber. Someone decided they wanted a line to look different on their Visio so now we have to put firewalls on each end of those segments and back to the core or they will declare us non-compliant. Mind you these links are 10G and a 20G lag, so we have to put in beefy enough hardware to full-on encrypt at those speeds. Never mind that the application data itself is encrypted and over private fiber. It's a shitload of money and trouble for something that is encrypting already encrypted data. We can do it, but drat.

Welp, we just got a new monkey wrench to throw into this blender full of donkey gently caress. They want to stretch the virtual host clusters at the station and E911 to V-motion back and forth.

So we have to do a VXLAN between the two sites.
Encrypted through a couple of HA Checkpoint clusters (I'm not even sure you can tunnel through it that way)
At 10-20G Speeds.
And reliable enough for Public Safety.

What could possibly go wrong? :suicide:

I sit over the cube wall from the accountant, who has the CFOs office on the other side (we're a small company of 35 people) and every few weeks there's a "Uhh we paid X twice" or "I forgot to pay so-and-so's company card".

You have one job.

A company I worked for N jobs ago had this issue: couldn't get contract support on hardware and storage due to seriously unpaid invoices. Rumor was that they unofficially paid an engineer for the storage vendor to keep a key production storage array running (without which, the company's primary contract would fold.) It was the best sign to vacate that job. That and buying parts off eBay.

HAHAHAHAHA and here I am just trying to keep police officers from sharing passwords via email with other agencies.
Seriously though supporting LEO can be a terrible thing. It's funny, every time somebody wants something they run around shouting "CJIS COMPLIANCE!" or "PUBLIC SAFETY!!" and they get what they want. But they can't be arsed to lock their cars, or computers or not share passwords for no good goddamn reason.

It�s all coming to a head. Literally everyone in administration is jumping ship after the announcement that we are axing the art program so director won�t have to hire a new art teacher after the current one retires this year.

Everyone is just emailing each other potential jobs at a neighboring college at this point. I�ve got three applications in now.

A private STEM school with no loving art program. Yeah, everybody wants to pay for that!

My guess is that attendance will plummet over the next four years as new student intake dives, the director panics over his continued lack of a raise, budgets are slashed due to lack of attendance, and the school closes in 4.5 years. Good luck competing in the oversaturated market, even if those aren't IT employees you're competing against.

Because they're "public" in the sense that they're open to students other than local kids, so a similar sense to "public house" (and equally archaic) rather than "publicly funded".
