Anon witnesses excellent security

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.
Wait till they learn about Jamf Pro and Mosyle

(Well… granted they also have to deploy it correctly after..)They did make us install Crowdstrike after 3-ish years of no spyware. We still have root access, they can just see every time I update my packages.

My last boss got rid of the pfSense routers because "open source is not secure". I argued that pfSense has been vetted over and over and over again. Nope. "Everyone can see the source code." That's the fucking point!
TBF, pfSense isn't the fastest routing, but at our small company is was more than sufficient.
For a small to medium sized business pfsense is the only solution that makes sense. The only requirement is that you have a actual sysadmin on staff and not a vendor jockey.

“If you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product.”
The phrase has its uses, but shit like this is what happens when it's taken to the extreme.
Often times when you pay for the product, you are still the product.

OPNsense is also a viable alternative.

I could really see companies just fork open source and give it a tweak like UI or new switches...
Terrible.
At one point my company made us buy Eclipse from a vendor because free software was not allowed. It had no tweaks or support, just out of date Eclipse that I had to wait for purchasing to get

Vim? Oh wow. I'd be looking into a USB Keyboard that types the entire source code of vim into the machine, assuming there isn't an easier option.

They should not be able to do that if it comes under non commercial licence

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.

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
