@rawsalerts As someone who has walked on the runway at night and seen thousands of jets takeoff and land, there is no way a normal person was confused about what was about to happen. You bypass multiple security and safety controls, you get what you get.

Today's problem: @stebets made the revised Pwned Passwords so damn fast that we now need to artificially slow it down so it doesn't feel weird 🤣 These are live searches through a billion records in <40ms 🤯

@Lead_Flinger Generally speaking, if you answer your door with a gun in your hand, you’re probably going to get shot. If a policeman or evil gunman are standing outside, you stand a good chance of getting shot. If you answer the door empty handed, the police won’t shoot.

@infosec_fox Place the thumb drive inside a sealed plastic bag and place in rain gutter. That is outside the house, but it proply won’t be found because the usb search dog can’t smell it and agents can’t see it.

@Adam_Karpiak Don’t complete the online resume if they ask private information not related to the job. Some stuff needed if you’re an employee, but not as an applicant.

@GayBearRes The manager asking HR to find a candidate found the the ATS was configured wrong by HR, forcing the system to reject qualified candidates. He complained, some HR people lied, and several people in HR were fired for doing a poor job.

@QuinnyPig I worked for a steakhouse restaurant concept with a corporate office. We named servers after cuts of meat (porterhouse, sirloin, ribeye, etc.) and it was wild.

@EricaZelic I would have passed out from laughing so hard that I couldn’t breathe.

@6Voodoo “repugnant buffoons” sounds accurate.

[Troy Blake @SeniorDBA]

@EricaZelic I’ve been working with various companies for years, and M365 is so complicated and each business config is unique, so there isn’t one checklist to easily secure everything. Each job is a manual effort and takes time to get correct. And M365 is always changing.

@gabsmashh To transition from doer (person tasked with jobs & that ready only thinks about their assigned tasks) to management means thinking about the entire team, what everyone is working on right now, and how you can help everyone do a better job. Leading a team is a change in thinking.
