Everyone below VP level is probably OK. Some directors and senior management may suck, but holy shit nothing like a VP. They're the most useless person in a company.

Why the hell is there any path from the internet to any system?

Layers, and layers, and proper isolation with proper 2FA.

Just yesterday I got a notification from my 2FA about someone trying to login to a system I work on. Since I didn't know of any scheduled work, I was justifiably concerned, but only a little, since 2FA was blocking them.

Turns out it was a coworker who needed to check something, and was having issues with 2FA.

We can't directly access any of the secure systems from outside - we have to VPN in (2FA), then hit an RDP/SSH server (another 2FA) that gives us control over the more secure systems. No other network traffic is permitted between the secure network and the regular corporate (workstation) network.

"Might"?

Um, that's the whole point of one being internet connected.

Didn't you post a somewhat opposite yesterday using "Republican"?

Those two terms aren't even close to equivalent in this context.

You need to define what you mean, a LOT. At least start with equivalent labels.

I grew up with "going to Mars" as a genuine hope. But in the I terveneing decades, it's become clear that doing lots more robotically/remotely is a far better choice for the near term.

We have the ability/tech to pre-build a human habitat, and fully test it, before humans even go.

Suddenly nuclear is back on the table...when 30 years ago it was terrible.

Wonder what's changed, hmm?

(Yes, tech has changed, but not nearly as much as political circumstance).

Yep, I flew regularly in the 90's, it was much easier and relaxed.

As difficult as it's going to be, when the time comes, be absolutely consistent in your physical therapy exercises, for the short term and in years to come.

This crap will come back to haunt you later in life, so the more consistent effort you put into it going forward, the less it's going to be an issue.

That said, I've found 2 things have really helped with similar injuries - a very good deep-tissue massage therapist (sessions should be like PT, challenging to do), and yoga.

What people never explain about yoga is why it's effective: because each exercise is a combination of stretching one set of muscles while complementary muscles are stabilizing.

Oh fuck that sounds awful.

You nailed it, rhe problem is largely apps not respecting lots of stuff.

Crazy to me there's no guard on that fan. Even one with large openings, chicken-wire type (but stronger) would've prevented whatever got in there to cause the blades to break.

To control what can be accessed.

Having your own DNS enables you to block ads on every device in your network.

PiHole makes my smart TV more responsive, because it can't get crap to load into the home screen.
