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?
Personally, I am also convinced there's unlikely to be a flip of Indiana from red to blue (unless something changes), so I have to consider which red I want, or dislike the least.
I haven't researched the new likely front runner yet. I've only seen comments here, which likely won't favor him, but I might not either after I consider his record and stances, IDK.
Rock and a hard place?
Why is nothing about this shit ever taught in school. They basically say there's a Congress and constitution, and that's it.
And now, we make sure not to leave our they all owned slaves, but nothing useful as a society member IMO.
I don't know anything about this stuff
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.
Thanks for the insight.
It's a shame we still can all just get along. That saying is lame, but it's ultimately the goal.
One of my ideas, that isn't terribly realistic or shouldn't have to be resorted to, is to locate our selves in regions that are more welcoming.
There was a person at my work who was lesbian, which I suspected, but they weren't open. One day at a social event, they brought their wife and brother (for support) and made public. I was stupid and didn't put all that together until then.
They moved to Washington State and both have great jobs now. I felt like part of that move was related to moving to a region known to support their life style more welcomingly, at least compared to Indiana.
You shouldn't have to do that, but if I could stack enough chips to afford doing that and needed to, I would.
I said above that you shouldn't have to do that ever. No one should be treated like shit by whole groups of people, political, religious or other wise.
I like the idea of states competing for talent and opportunity. Washington also tried decriminalization of all drugs. Lots of people nay sayed. I thought it was great. They tried an experiment instead of just listening to a bunch of wind bags. That didn't work as it was implemented, but we all got real world data, and identified other failures of legislation that went beyond just drugs (treatment, transportation issues, logistics, funding,.etc). I might be all talk though, I would not want to conduct that here.
Weed is the same way. All the states doing it are eventually going to have eliminated all excuses for now allowing it. Some states still might never. That's ok. People can shuffle around based on what's important to them.
You shouldn't ever have to be subjected to mistreatment just for who you are though, anywhere in America.
I hate both our parties, most of all politicians, and a large majority of our policies in their current form. There's no one for me to vote for, and no national pride in what they do or represent.
Wow, classic.

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
