Anon witnesses excellent security

I could really see companies just fork open source and give it a tweak like UI or new switches…
They should not be able to do that if it comes under non commercial licence
Won't stop some people.

You had to go to the balcony to test it.

It's not more secure, it's so they can offload blame and have people to sue if/when something ugly happens. Liability control, essentially.
We had to pay for fucking Docker container licenses at my last job because we needed an escalation to the vendor in case our SMEs couldnt handle things (they could), and so we had a vendor to blame if something out of our control happened. And that happened: we sued Mirantis when shit broke.

Don't forget your new 32 character/symbol/number/nordic rune passwords that will need to be changed every 17 days.
I hate sites that make me constantly change passwords. it's been shown time and time again that making users change passwords often decreases security by a pretty large factor, and yet a lot of sites still do it

I majored in Anthropology in college. I should have done Misanthropology.

How were you supposed to test your software if you weren't allowed to create an executable?
insert thats the neat part meme
Eventually it was decided I would write Javascript on a web page I made. Skills I never declaired having I told them I was a java dev.

OPNsense is also a viable alternative.
Tried that for awhile at home, just didn't seem as robust. Also, you can get Netgate hardware if the company doesn't want a 10-yo Dell running the edge.

My boss went so far as to buy Macs because we have "special needs" (we don't) because otherwise we'd be forced to use the corporate locked down crap. I'm not a big fan of macos (prefer Linux), but root access sure is nice.
I had to move to a Mac because of iOS development. Now I'm stuck with a Mac because the fucking thing refuses to break.

Often times when you pay for the product, you are still the product.
I'm the product in the sense that poo is the product of the intestines.

Javascript is a part of Java, duh!

I've had opnsense running for 7 years without a single issue. It might be the most reliable part of my whole setup.

Interesting, stopped seeing this a while back. Forced change after the inevitable hack though of course

Ever hear how the suit turned out, generally?

Our workplace did that. You had to change every month and you weren't allowed to just add a digit. It meant that people started writing their passwords on post-its stuck to the monitor.
Mind you, back in the 90s your password was the same as your username. It was very handy, because if someone went home leaving a document locked, you could just log in and unlock it. Our first "proper" IT professional was horrified.

And don't forget required 2-factor authentication, in an age where that becomes 1-factor authentication as soon as someone has your phone, because both factors are accessible there!
2FA is utterly worthless in the age of smartphones, and whenever my employer tries to implement it, I refuse and tell them that, if they want me to do 2FA, they can either provide me with a work phone, or they can give me a USB key that is just going to sit in my desk drawer.
