I am so angry

everyone is trying to build async agents that work when they sleep but all they really need are Australians

@NC_Renic I aspire to produce a PowerPoint slide as good as this

"As my next slide clearly shows..."

@ShriKaranHanda Checks out give large enterprises generally hire lots of devs!

At least once a year, I rediscover that half of all developers use Windows

@redactor650 @brankopetric00 Bring back upstart

@brankopetric00 Systemd is the Kubernetes of Linux distros

Kubernetes is not the solution to every problem. Most of you are running 3 containers and paying for the operational complexity of Netflix. Sometimes a VM and systemd is the right answer.

@IAMERICAbooted Reading stuff like this helps me know I’m not going insane and I’m not alone

IAM today: wanted to give me Exchange Admin in the dev tenant instead of Purview Organization Management role which is required for my work... yes, the dev tenant. Can't make this shit up. Meanwhile, still cant access the solutions I need with the Entra roles I was provided. I give up.

@NathanMcNulty I kinda miss this…

When the job description said "Ability to lift 50 lbs" they actually meant it Also, these were so cursed

@drnimrod @techspence Love a good, this is going to be an alert isn’t it moment. Start typing an explanation in the teams chat and it’s a race between the plz explain and the explanation

@techspence very good 🙂 they know me very well 😂

If you are an IT admin and you are in charge of managing Active Directory, take a look at this tool. I've been recommending it for a while now. Super great way to view delegations (and in my case find those that are insecure) The tool is called ADeleg btw. I wrote a wrapper for it called ADeleginator.

@UK_Daniel_Card More people need to be on the confidential “here is what we changed in our upcoming patches and suggestions on what to test” list and actually deploying to devices I forgot its name but I had access through our premier support

Cyber essentials says patch within 14 days no matter what! Windows 11 has just fucked a key equipment driver.... RDP is fucked.... but 'just patch'.... this is not a simple game and simple 'standards' may not cut the mustard.

If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design

@NathanMcNulty @naerchan I went from k12 straight to government. I feel I’m only experiencing the low pay, poor decisions and lack of appreciation now 🤣

@naerchan @harrisony Most ed tech vendors are that way... :( The options are expensive and not that great, and blame gets passed to school IT who already has a hard enough job I miss being able to help and make things better, but I don't miss the low pay, poor decisions, and lack of appreciation

@NathanMcNulty @naerchan Ahahahaha. I miss K-12 and dealing with incompetent SIS vendors. I’m glad to hear it’s a universal thing

@naerchan I worked in K12 for a decade, and those SIS vendors have absolutely horrible security That didn't matter as much when we only allowed access from on-prem, but then the vendors decided to force hosting it in their datacenters and call it SaaS, opening it up to the whole Internet

@NathanMcNulty Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager. I miss that so much, oh man…I was a weapon with it

Microsoft operates the largest AD forests (plural) in the world Primarily, enhancements to AD are not made for you, but you may benefit from them AD is legacy for customers, just not yet for Microsoft

@griffonboi Where and for how long did they boot you off for the drivers mandatory rest stop?

Made it to Sydney in one piece, honestly wasn't too bad hah

bring these back please

@fictillius And replace them with community councils like in the ACT?

Time to just abolish councils

@NathanMcNulty I miss the era where tooling was generated by humans and not autogenerated from an API spec

A 138 character cmdlet in a production PowerShell module 🫠

@Xenoulis1 @IAMERICAbooted @NathanMcNulty @merill I assuming you’re not doing E8 compliance for funsies. Get your CSAM to put you in contact with some local Microsoft security people. Every gov aligned person I’ve encountered at MS has always been very helpful and have good knowledge of E8

Hey @IAMERICAbooted @NathanMcNulty @merill I am putting together a core high-level architecture for essential CAPs for a Entra ID tenant. I have put the design together below and wanted to see if I was missing anything and linked to the AU Essential Eight ISM controls.
