I bet a few boxes of bulk 9mm is cheaper than secure disposal of high-value storage.

I’ve got a issue with Hyper-V that I’m tearing my hair out over and I’m hoping someone has seen it before. I recently upgraded one of our Server 2016 cluster servers (HPE DL385 Gen10) from a single 8 core processor to dual 8 core processors. Windows sees all the cores - task manager reports 2 sockets, 16 cores and 32 logical processors. Hyper-V though, will only allow me to start a VM with 4 or fewer virtual processors, any more results in an “insufficient resources” error. I’ve been though a poo poo-load of stuff - BIOS configuration, hyper-threading, NUMA, you name it - but I’ve hit a wall. Has anyone seen this before?

Annual corporate infosec compliance poo poo is due today. Clicked the link to reset my password, aaaaaand... it e-mails it to me in plaintext. The training then emphasizes the importance of keeping passwords safe. Good job, guys.

RE: Gun chat. My company shares a bathroom in our multi tenant building. A co-worker walked into the handicap stall that has handlebars on both sides of the wall. After he sat down he noticed a black gun shaped object wedged between a handrail and the wall sitting on top of the toilet paper dispenser. A second co-worker that has a concealed carry and knew a lot about guns retrieved it while the cops were called, they were very interested in the gun and the fact it was fully loaded. I do not remember if the safety was off when it was found. Pretty sure it was a glock 9mm, but not sure what model. Turned out the gun belonged to an employee next door (a christian outreach organization.) Not sure if any charges were filed against the owner of said gun.

You just wander into the city center and ask a likely looking teenager where to buy some bangers and that's what you used to end up getting. Since the Good Friday Agreement it's mostly legal fireworks just carried across the border instead. We have had a couple of good team building events. We had a team building cooking class where we all cooked various stews. Ziplining was pretty good. Kayaking wasn't bad but my boss could have picked a better river in Portland. And team building dinners at the Brazilian steakhouse.

One if my old coworkers (an accountant) handed me a locked and loaded pistol in the office once. He has just bought it if I remember correctly. We worked in a concealed carry OK office and he was licensed. I’m very comfortable around guns but that did make me feel pretty awkward.

IT Gun Talk: At $oldOldJob, former Marine sniper decided to threaten his supervisor when he got reprimanded for doing something stupid. Full police escort out of the building. Non-Gun Talk: Our DockerEE environment, which was created by a barely competent dudebro with a knack for making GBS threads buzzwords onto senior-leadership desks has been making GBS threads the bed over the last 24 hours and taking down our front-facing Internet presence. This environment has also been compromised a couple of times by nasty actors because of said dudebro's barely-functional competence level. Said dudebro jumped off the incident call because he was about to go on stage to give a presentation/panel at DockerCon. On Docker container security.

The guys who worked in the noc a few jobs ago had the equivalent of a small armory spread across their cars at any given time. During the evening shifts lunch break you could find them all in the parking garage, trunks open with guns out of their lock boxes and just... looking at them, I guess. They were really nice and would happily explain all the pros and cons of their firearms with me when I asked them about it, but I was ultimately never really comfortable around that many guns. To their credit, I never saw a barrel sweep or bad trigger discipline and guns were stored unloaded with trigger locks (or whatever you call them) in locked boxes until they all came out at lunchtime.

I have some friends like that. It's just the gun equivalent of meeting up in a parking lot and popping the hoods on your hot rods. Or popping the side of your case off during a LAN party. Some people just like hardware.

I've never felt threatened at work before, however active shooter training is a thing now and with a lot of public roaming around and remote site visits I don't have a problem with people having a gun with them at work, either in a holster or a drawer. I have a problem when we are crane lifting expensive machinery, and one of the helper's 9mm tumbles out of his pants and bounces around finally coming to rest with the barrel pointed at me and the facilities director. I have a problem our volunteer support staff carrying a gun to look cool, without regards for the safety of others/the unease this generates for our department with other departments/the public. You can tell me all day that a gun shouldn't fire when it's dropped, but the fact of the matter is that we're a group working on something at a reasonably secure site (behind locked street gates and another tall fence gate), you shouldn't feel the need to have a gun stuffed in your pants while we're doing already dangerous poo poo. Well after that incident, no guns allowed anywhere at any campus. Another example of one bad apple. I'm OK with this as well. I hope the guys at the remote sites are still packing in violation of this policy in their gloveboxes, because they are my friends and I happen to know the types that wander around the woods out there can have a screw or two loose.

I think it's usually fair to say that the people who are responsible firearms carriers are not the same people that are dropping their firearms on the floor when they bend over or put their jacket on a chair. I also think being able to carry a firearm should come with more strict requirements. Insurance at a minimum.
