The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

There is some smilie (yosbutt ?) that is seen as a GIF vulnerability so it ends up blocking SA whenever a page uses it.

Ugh awful page snype sorry

Our company started a security training thingy that gives you a few questions to answer every week, and it's gamified to hell and back. Unfortunately I'm very easily captured by gamified elearning.

Anyway I named my team the classic sql injection which apparently i cant type here :v:

Told the team three weeks ago that are meant to manage a service that an SSL cert is expiring, and it runs out tomorrow. There's zero chance they're on top of this so lol, I guess it's going to break.

I like watching the countdown emails from Digicert for upcoming renewals and wondering if people who manage those services have filtered those messages.

Why are the certs getting such short durations? I'm assuming this is somehow for security reasons.

I set off the suppression system by accident. 48 (425 cubic feet per bottle)bottles of Inergen. Good news though. Now they HAVE to replace the hoses with a manufactured date of 2001. They are supposed to be tested and/or replaced every 5 years. The inspectors never said anything till 2023.

47 day TLS lifespan is great because it forces vendors of poo poo appliances to build cert automation into their products if they want any hope of selling them, nobody is going to buy something that needs babysitting every six weeks.

That stack of adapters could plausibly be 30 years old too. I remember seeing DB25 to DE9 to 8P8C stacks all over my local library as a kid for their electronic catalog terminals. Definitely appreciate it being tied together, that's actually pretty smart.

It probably was about that old, the other port coming off the Meridian was connected to a USR 33.6 modem with an installation sticker from Oct '97 on it.
There's a bunch of government buildings here running on ancient Northern Telecom (old enough that they weren't called Nortel yet!) Meridian systems and they've been trying to migrate everyone off of them for years now. My company gets called in from time to time for mostly network stuff but sometimes odd jobs with the old phone system, like I got to come and do a full power-down of a giant Meridian 1 stack while they were doing building maintenance that involved cutting off the power, and then I got to power it back up and spend like an hour resetting line cards that didn't come up. The one guy who actually really knew how to keep these old systems going retired last year, so they've been trying to speed up the decomission process since one of these days a system's going to go down and they won't be able to bring it back up. I got to shut down one of them for its final time the other week and it felt like someone should be playing taps. 🫡

You're supposed to respond with a solution that makes it clear you never read the original request, before they complain that you've been no help and then you suggest that maybe someone submits a uservoice.

Same but unironically. If I'm saying no I go out of my way to be as little help as possible. Opening that dialogue just gives the user an opportunity to push back.

Had a ticket yesterday where the customer demanded to speak to an engineer about their very important issue, which was them being unable to reach a specific website. They couldn't access it because it was sold and was redirecting to another website.

First of all, no.

Ticket closed, no trouble found.

ohh yeah I love those. "Sure thing can you open a ticket first" *immediately closes ticket as an inappropriate escalation*

My record is 40 seconds.

The only two metrics management care about is ticket length and total number of tickets so, yeah sure I'll play that game.

we also have a specific type of ticket called an "alternate approach exception"

you have to submit one when you want to do something that is specifically contrary to an established pattern or policy

it requires vp approval, which means telling a team to fill one out is functionally the same as saying no
