The new thread project is live! And with only one critical feature missing, the PM team can pat each other on the back and go out to celebrate on the company dime. The people who participated in creating the thread can't come because they're busy firefighting and applying manual workarounds to make up for the missing features.

Make it so any inventory change results in an transaction being booked as "inventory adjustment" and sent up the order chain for approval.

ServiceNow suffers from the same problem so many other highly customizable software suites do: It absolutely needs to be set up by someone who knows what they're doing, and in a larger organization you probably want someone managing it full time. But it's usually sold as a solution to all your problems installed with default settings and left unmaintained, unloved and largely unusable, which gives the product a reputation for being lovely and too complex because it hasn't been trimmed down to your specific needs.

Yes let's have a screen that allows an operator to spread panic through the entire state with a single click, and where the test options are mere pixels away. Brilliant design.

Re: The web filter, what are your filtering requirements from higher up, and do they check them? If you can get away with it, just open the filter up. Change it to default allow, blacklist known trouble sites, disable SSL inspection and get the students off your back. Really, forcing people to open themselves up to MITM attacks is a terrible idea from the start and I can understand why they're upset about it.

The most important thing is never to route cables across devices. So if you have devices A, B, C you should route cables between A and C so that you can still remove B without having to disconnect anything else.

KoRMaK posted:I heard the smuggest condescending laughter in a professional setting ever "uhhh so WAIT, your saying its NOT encrypted???" We're in the process of deploying a web portal where customers will enter some information which will be put in an XML message and sent into our integration platform, and our "security" department is riding our rear end about sensitive information and how it has to be encrypted ALL the way. The client connection is https of course, and so is the connection between the web server and the ESB. Nothing is stored on the web server's file system, but they argue that because the information is unencrypted in the web server's memory it's completely insecure. This is the same security department who approved some random non-IT dude's (accidental) request for Domain Admin rights without questioning. Fortunately another team caught it and nixed the request before it could be fulfilled.

I'm not sure what you could do to satisfy them, is it even possible to keep the information encrypted in memory in a way that is not immediately defeated by someone who has potential full access to all memory content?

Mr Robot is great. It's one of the few series I've seen in a long time where I haven't been able to predict the plot reveals. The big plot twist in Season 1 was such an "oh poo poo it all makes sense now" moment.

Samizdata posted:Could one of you at least point me in the direction of a good Powershell starter? This is nothing official, just a task I like to do every so often. I already know the commands, and have just been abusing the persistent scroll back buffer. I just need to know what basic structural stuff a Powershell script needs. There's also http://powershelltutorial.net/ which is a bit dated (it still says Powershell 4 is coming soon. Powershell 6 came out in January this year) but is still decent for learning the basics.

If I'm slapping together that I'm going to use once or nobody else will need to see, I'll pass the array. And we're not using punch cards any more, if your script is 100 bytes or 1000 bytes is completely irrelevant, expand those loops for readability.
