My mid life birthday gift was an electric zero turn mower. Already had all electric yard tools. Will buy Tesla or best option in couple years. Never going to a gas station again!

So indeed, fuck gas

Office culture nuances… I enjoy them.

I worked for a company where the previous IT dorks named the servers after startrek ships. It’s cute at home. Had to rename everything and readdress the whole organization.

It’s pretty plain to see IBM afraid of loosing vendor lock-in, but running a software solution designed for an open or distributed platform shouldn’t be that big of a threat, right?

All their selling points for z series are the insane hardware performance, redundancy, and tuning.

Isn’t it unlikely you’re going to get that on some virtual or abstracted mainframe platform?

If I was one of the businesses that’s been paying the fortune keeping IBM mainframe alive, I’d stay on it. They measure profits in the billions and saving some money going away from IBM and risking loosing countless dollars per minute seems like a risk…

Oh wait, I forgot, all American Corps are currently (since the 80s-ish), worthless greedy fucks solely focused on short term profit and stock price regardless of long term consequences. Maybe they should save some money on one of the things that’s helps make them billions…I bet that golden goose tastes amazing 😄

How far do you guys go?

'All of it’s or until it’s inconvenient?

What’s the pain tolerance for when everyone says it makes the job too hard?

Ever compared CIS controls to STIG ACAP?

I’ve only ever used SCAP for a few reasons z but one being it’s free.

What do you guys use for STIG audit?

Manual STIG viewer or SCAP?

We are just a little behind trying to elect our new dictator…

But just for a day…

/S 🙄

Nice. Then what’s the Spanish equivalent?

I have only visited Rota. Neat place.

Wow, classic.

Here’s a clue:

If the paper isn’t terrible, it was AI…

😋

Agreed.

Makes sense. Thanks. I have heard of R7. Had not heard of Qualys.

I think it’s because people (some) are all talk. We bitch about corporate greed and stuff like this, but when it comes down to it, when you need a new electronic device and one’s half the cost, which one do people buy?

The one with ads and that’s made by slave wage third world workers, or the one that’s twice as expensive?

As a whole, we tend to be garbage and materialistic…

I won’t be buying Roku either.

Thanks

Good info, thanks.

I am familiar with ACAS, which is why I am testing the products.

Fully capturing all the capabilities of scanning, auditing configuration seems like you could put countless hours into the implementation.

I imagine the ROI is high based on what I’ve seen.

Would you agree?

Thanks,. I’ll check into those two

Every piece of shit greedy corporation can’t hide from their lies when they say things are too expensive to implement correctly or pay people appropriately when they are simultaneously posting profits measured in billions…

Not likely to be helpful, but your feeling is normal and understandable. Didn’t wait too long to talk to someone.

Fair enough.

Maybe everyone agrees it sucks and all change?

Turn it into a group ‘stick it to the man’ effort?

I don’t have friends,.no problem for me 😋

Also,.I’m old and just text my friends!

Vote with your feet. Have to leave the platform if you want to stick it to them.
