For source code don't worry about GDPR, worry about the AI using you code to train their model and violating copyright.

Yeah GDPR does not care about your company's intellectual property or trade secrets. It cares about the personal data of your customers (and other individuals that interact with your business) and nothing else.

But then, if you start feeding any PII/other potentially GDPR-covered data to an LLM, in particular if it possibly gets used for training/reinforcement, you are almost certainly in violation of GDPR because you basically lose any control of what happens to that data. It becomes mixed into a strange soup and who knows how it will affect any future output of that LLM.

I am perfectly happy to configure firewall rules, and usually there is documentation, but I am sick to my teeth of vendors' documentation on what's required not matching what their devices actually do.

Had this before and vendors claim that the answer is to do their training courses.

No, gently caress you. If your documentation is poor then give me a refund on the product.

I worked at a MSSP for years, configuring firewalls for customers across a wide swath of industries. Constant battles of the customer providing vendor documentation for firewall rules fast forwarding to the application not working, to reviewing firewall logs and finding some blocked communication on a port nowhere in the documentation that is apparently critical to the functionality.

We blanket deny any requests for "allow from any to any" or "open every port to X".

But we also help them figure out what they actually need.

Can't have one without the other, imho.

That gave me a cold chill that lasted until I remembered that on the systems where we lock users out of any drive, we also block Windows search and Run.

I'm going to have to check on that, the locked down systems are GxP.

If it makes you feel any better I accessed that via the save dialogue of the native Windows print to pdf functionality, then was able to abuse that to get an explorer window by zipping and unzipping a random file I found somewhere and telling explorer to show me the files on completion. After that I was able to create and run batch files from the user directory and that's just silly for what should be a web app.

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.
There is always a cost. Either, time, money or frustration, there is always a cost to be paid.

I decided to upgrade my backup server to something this century with a storage HBA capable of at least 6gbps so that it isn't the bottleneck of my backup-to-disk solution. I buy the card off of eBay, a SmartArray P430, and it's got the wrong connector because I didn't do my homework. I return it for the SmartArray P420.

The P420 shows up and it prevents my supermicro X8-based machine from booting. A test and some research reveals that the flash is bad. So the vendor sends me another one that works. I stick it in the server and it won't POST. More research reveals that it is incompatible with the X8 board.

So I buy a X9-based board that is a duplicate of ones I aleady have here so I know it'll work. The lot is a CPU/RAM/board/heatsink combo and when it arrives the heatsink that's included isn't compatible with an LGA2011 socket. so I rig up a temporary cooling solution to see if I can get the board installed in the case and up and running. Board won't POST, even when I strip it down to the bare minimum to run. So now I've contacted the vendor about a swap.

It's been three weeks and god knows how many hours. Just so I can up the disk throughput from 3 to 6gbps per drive.

I wish I was independently wealthy so I could just pay an integrator three grand do do all this poo poo for me.


There is always a cost. Just because it's cheap on eBay doesn't mean the cost won't be paid another way. FML

What kind of drives are you running that benefits materially from 6gbps vs 3gbps per port?

That's the gently caress of it. These are eight 4TB Ultrastars so no, they won't benefit. Not really. But they are "capable" of 6gbps and I've been starting at the connection trhoughput on the SmartArray as 3gbps I finally got annoyed enough and obsessed enough to get a HBA capable of 6gbps.

So yeah, this whole exercise is ultimately pointless.


It's me: I'm what's pissing me off. My backup server was running perfectly fine. Not a hiccup whatsoever. So now it's in pieces all across my workbench.

The backup server is not the goal. The real goal is the friends HBA boards we got along the way.

Nothing in this universe will make me grab for the :jerkbag: response than someone, usually in management, being given a factual summary of a situation and the impact on any timelines and responding to say how unacceptable that is, and how it must be done by the original date. It won't be, start planning around that. And gently caress off.

Spent like 50 hours working on an inventory reconciliation project over the last 2 weeks or so, I have been looking at spreadsheets so much I am starting to have dreams about them.

If that wasn't bad enough, I identified a couple dozen devices that don't exist in our inventory. Sent tickets to the various teams responsible for managing these devices, and asked them to create records. One team's manager just...deleted all my tickets? And said their team just doesn't have time??? Another closed a ticket saying that until an official policy exists, they were not going to make inventory records for VMs????????

:psyduck:

at that point i'd love to just revoke any access those devices have to company resources. sorry, unknown and unauthorized devices, no idea who's responsible for them!

My boss is currently on vacation but we will definitely be having a discussion about it when he comes back. Also, probably because he is on vacation, multiple people complained about me to his boss, who then told my coworker to tell me not to make any more tickets. I got grief from multiple managers immediately yesterday after creating all the tickets, and was feeling pretty bad about it all last night, but knowing they also went and cried about how I asked them to do their job? just lmao
