Emigrating is some scary poo poo Our government is so incompetent and clueless about technology that it's causing wholesale brain drain. If you want to read how to completely gently caress up a nation's telecommunications network, read up on what's happened to our NBN. Then read the encryption laws that got successfully passed. They have basically hosed the sector for no good reason.

Otis Reddit posted:Thanks thread. I'm studying Security+ because it seems like the easiest major cert that's not total dogshit. I'm also reading up on AD and Watchguard (the MSP I work at is a Watchguard shop rather than Sonicwall). My understanding is that Powershell would be a good next step. What cloud tech subject matter might I want to look into also. Lastly, any inspirational goontales ya'll can share? I got bored at work and started playing around with power BI and now im creating dashboards for C level managers. Find something that interests you and get good at it. Learning powershell is also a pro move.

An opportunity has opened up at my company where I could move into the managed services area using azure, because we need someone certified and capable. Are there any certs, presumably MS based, that are better than others? I found this one which I will start to work on, but would my time be better spent elsewhere?

Thanks to the recent talk about password managers I have been going through and adding all our passwords to keepass and have come to the conclusion that most people are complete idiots who should not be allowed to set a password in anty way shape or form. Even the IT staff who should know better set such bullshit weakass passwords its legit scary.

DropsySufferer posted:What would it take to go from IT support engineer to a programmer/software developer? I am finally realizing no matter what it's not going to be easier for me to deal with people/make interactions less draining. I'm getting older and just tired of fighting this fact about me. People are a drain always have been for every single job I've ever had. I like people but I'm a major introvert. I think programmer is possible but it's a huge change in what I planned to point that I'm not sure where to start. Start with powershell imo. I say this as someone who is in basically the same position, except im trying to lean into powershell, power bi and azure admin to put as many skills as possible on my cv so i never have to talk to a customer again.

22 Eargesplitten posted:So you just have to go take the time to vote for nobody and nothing? Sounds like another way for the government to remind you that they own you, but okay. Mandatory voting is good and helps improve the whole process. It means candidates have to appeal to a much wider audience rather than a hyper focused base block of voters, which theoretically helps moderate their platform Course, it also means that you have to make voting easy, not engage in widespread voter suppression and not throw up roadblocks like voter ID.

What happens if you load windows 10 enterprise, log into a domain to authorise the OS, then log out of the domain, take the device home and start to use it for personal use? Does it ever phone home, or am I free and clear?

Internet Explorer posted:"Phone home" is a very broad term. What exactly are you asking? I'm not stealing, I worked out a deal with my boss and it's all above board, but now I have a surface pro 3. I was told to wipe it and take it home, so I did a reset on the OS, but joined the domain to authorise the OS, then took it off the domain. I know sfa about windows licences and stuff, so I wanted to know if there were any repercussions if I used a company version of 10 enterprise, or should I just get my own home OS.

Last time I talked to a recruiter they brought up the fact that my last two jobs have been about a year, both of which were explainable, and said that it showed I didnt like to stay at one company for an extended amount of time, conveniently ignoring my first job where I was with one company for 13 years.

I have been doing a bit of BI / data analysis and im starting to run into questions that im not finding an easy answer on Google for, and I was wondering if anyone in here has some info/links/recommendations. Im having a set up my own data model, and I understand the whole star schema concept, but putting it into practice isn't quite as easy as my previous attempts. I am not 100% sure that im picking the right information to leave in the data set, what fields to put in the lookup/dimension tables and how much to leave in the fact tables. I realise this isn't an easy one off question to answer, so does anyone have any good resources that I can check out?
