You'd need permission for that, which you'd never get anyway. Even if you had that you'd need budget, which you'd never get anyway. The easiest way around that is to never ask for anything and do whatever you feel like.
Remember bureaucrats have the permission to say no, never yes.
In my experience with security-heavy organizations, they are so anal in some respects about security that they end making things way worse.
In one case security was so "strict" that it took months to get a login account, so people just installed their own linux boxes to work on, or shared their passwords. Password strings had to comprise of 27 (!) characters. People just ended up writing them on pieces of paper kept under their keyboards.
At one car manufacturer I worked at, security absolutely demanded that a certain security software was installed on every linux system, even though the software didn't work on linux. But hey, they could tick off a box on an Excel spreadsheet.
Good. People should ween themselves off those.
Not to mention that some of them are truly awful. SPSS makes me shudder.
Unnecessary modules take up memory. That doesn't matter much on a system with 16GB RAM, but it does for an embedded device.
The vulnerability discussed in the article proves modules that aren't needed are best left out - otherwise the vulnerability would be present and active in every Linux machine in the world.
Modules can be loaded on demand, for instance when a "file" in
I hope he gets a shout-out at the next FOSDEM, which is held in Brussels. Judging by his name he won't live far away.
That just means our security was good. You little anecdote isn't actual data.
Depends on the EU country. In mine they'd have to show they're doing a reorg, but that's a low bar. Employees who get canned have the right to outplacement services, etc. Older employees can sometimes get pre-pension status where the company pays until they retire.
They'd have to make an agreement with the unions too, who are the ones negotiating the above.
"Sounds like they're trying to make a ladies bike"
Wow, that's some 1pth century anti women on bike BS right there.
Ys, for a kid. an adult wants a pretend part because they can't get with the times is pathetic.
Imagine being so insecure you have to pretend to be using an older version of an engine? sad.
JFC, are you still trolling people with nonsense? Two decades? I guess being a person who barley got an AS, then ending up a TV Repair man makes you sad and you just take it out on others with your trolling and rage baiting. It's a really unhealthy way to try and make your self feel like you have value.
Our prosperity literally lifted the world up until about bush. When we started really feeling the impact of reaganomics.
The cost to ship calories of food is cheaper then ever, and that's due Americas investing around the globe.
20th century engineering an science benefitted billions of people. from vaccines, to ag.
So yes, we use to.
Then we stopped tacking properly, then conservative started attacking science, and now we are gutting are own farmers.
Thanks to conservatives.
I see what you did there.
I approve.
yes, but not who they were passed on to.
no, government money is correct.
The government dictates how it's spent, it's government money. Only the dimmest of the dim would think government money does come from a tax pool.
And saying tax payer money is too broad any conversation the requires details because which tax pool it comes from matters.
Yes, ethics are a thing. Your observation bias comes form the fact that unethical things are when makes the story.
