You. I like you.

Subject says it all. Where are these companies? I would love to have a WFH position, with only occasional travel (covid notwithstanding).

$current_company has been rather inconsistent and horrible with their covid response, we're all in the office, no masks, and let's just say some company leaders have opinions that they're welcome to have, should keep to themselves if they are company officers. Right or wrong, what they say reflects on the company.

If I do find a new position, the exit interview will be interesting. I don't want more money, vacation, etc. I want something that they probably cannot give. I want behavior change.

I'm reminded of a saying someone told me a long time ago. Applies online or in person.

"Just because you say something, doesn't make it true."

If there's election fraud, BACK IT UP WITH FACTS and/or EVIDENCE.

Anything else is just BS.

IP address == person is weak argument.

Plus, she should have been using full drive encryption on anything with data on it that she cared about.

Say what?

Trump is under mountains of debt.

Come January 20th, a very large percentage is going to get "called in."

Going to be very interesting to see what happens.

In the old days, that's how I solved my access drought in the early 90's.

Local Telenet/SprintNet dialup (X.25) had some open hosts that let you telnet anywhere. Used that for a few years until I was able to secure more reliable access.

You didn't dare share it with anyone for fear of it be abused, discovered, and the hole "plugged."

Those were the days. ;)

Exactly this. Who in the heck talks about those certain forbidden topics (Money, Religion, Politics) at work ?

I know I sure don't.

People are idiots. Coronavirus sure has proven that.

That people would plant or event EAT (JFC ....) seeds of unknown provenance that weren't specifically ordered by them just takes the cake.

To quote that maître d' from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

I weep for the future

Da fuq?

This has to be sarcasm.....

Another reason why that as I've gotten older - time is worth more than money.

Spend your money, enjoy yourself, while at least saving a bit for retirement. All your assets will be eaten up anyway.

Estate plan when you're young so the bloodsuckers don't get everything you've worked for. .... and lastly, while I'm still of sound mind (before I'd need nursing home care), feed me a beer laced with something I can't taste and just let me go to sleep.

This. Short of fail2ban or perhaps sshdfilter, if I have ssh exposed to the world with certificates only, (no password auth) I'm guessing I'm immune to this, correct?

Live by the cloud, die by the cloud if you don't have backups.

A few thoughts on working from home ...

I would love to work from home. Less wear and tear on car, no worry of winter, etc. In fact, I would take small to moderate paycut to be able to do so.

Regarding "striking out on your own" - that's all well and good, however in the USA at least, you need healthcare. Getting healthcare outside of a group plan (i.e. employer sponsored) is not cheap. To me, that's another argument for universal healthcare or whatever you want to call it. Decouple it from employment and you'll see lots of folks be "freelancers" or "small business owners."

It would also force companies to come up with different and/or better benefits, as they could no longer use healthcare as the proverbial carrot.

This. Why do we keep approving polluting the "high skies" / LEO ?

What goes up, must eventually come down, and someone needs to pay for it.

Old man yells at cloud, film at 11....
