You'd be surprised how little security government facilities have across the world.
We were at this waterpurification plant a few years ago to repair a Cisco and the password to login was on a post it note on every pc.
It was also the same password everywhere (H20admin)

By Lupercal Go To PostYou'd be surprised how little security government facilities have across the world.My older colleagues were annoyed when I suggested that there should be individual admin accounts instead of a single one so we could better track the accesses and modifications to the servers.

Claimed that I didn't trust them.

Security for infrastructure like this is... very different and if you're a traditional IT guy it'll give you nightmares. Windows XP machines everywhere and very little/no hardening. It's accomplished via simple air gapping, strong physical access control and other dirt berm types of solutions. These are simple processes that need to be extremely reliable so they don't patch and they don't care if you get into it for the most part. For them it's more about being able to pull the right lever at the right time.
Really the mistake here is having remote access improperly secured more than anything else. Needed to have MFA and a jump box.

True, not every site has to be extremely secure but damage can be done at those levels.
It was the same with some farmaceutical plant we were at. 4 layers of security on the servers and the backend.
And on the production floor there was a Win XP machine with 2 buttons. One to log in and one to print a ticket. If we allowed more, they kept screwing it up.

Oh, it can. I'm just making the point that we shouldn't be like "EW XP" and "EW SHARED PASSWORDS" and "EW NO PATCHES" when we're talking about a box that's in a bunker and has no direct internet access and no access other than to whatever knob it controls and that's it. And there's probably some sort of layered physical thing in front of it just in case that knob gets thrown unintentionally or maliciously.
On the other hand, them being flippant about it is not great. One of the earliest and worst cyberattacks was somebody dumping about a bajillion tons of poo out of a sewage treatment plant. BAD NEWS.
Speaking of property values exploding:
That’s because as bad as California’s affordable housing problem is, it isn’t really a California problem. It is a national one. From rising homelessness to anti-development sentiment to frustration among middle-class workers who’ve been locked out of the housing market, the same set of housing issues has bubbled up in cities across the country. They’ve already visited Boise, Nashville, Denver and Austin, Texas, and many other high-growth cities. And they will become even more widespread as remote workers move around.
Cities are built around jobs, and the nation’s inequality reflects that. In a trend that has been exhaustively documented by economists and journalists, over the past four decades the U.S. economy has bifurcated into high-paying jobs in fields like tech and finance and low-paying jobs in retail and personal services. It could be described as two separate societies, but in U.S. metropolitan areas these societies are intertwined.
Scholars started documenting California’s affordable housing crisis in the mid-1970s, and since then liberal and conservative economists have identified stringent zoning regulations and not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) politics as leading causes of the nation’s housing problem. Both Republican and Democratic administrations have taken up the NIMBY issue. Jack Kemp, the secretary of housing and urban development for the first President George Bush, convened a housing advisory commission whose 1991 report was called “Not in My Back Yard: Removing Barriers to Affordable Housing.”
The problem is that opposition to new housing also has bipartisan agreement. Blue cities full of people who say they want a more equitable society consistently vote to push housing costs onto others. They will vote for higher taxes to fund social programs, but also make sure that whatever affordable housing does get built is built far away from them. Red suburbs full of people who say regulation should be minimal and property rights protected insist that their local governments legislate a million little rules that dictate what can be built where. What does it mean to respect property rights? In zoning fights, it gets fuzzy.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/12/business/economy/california-housing-crisis.html
Dave sees it. They’re gonna try and thread a needle to keep his base while pretending he has no place in the party all while he controls them via his base through the impeachment process.
Amazing.
If the GOP only had the power to do something.
Also, it's fucking shortsighted. The GOP base isn't gonna give af in 2024. Just like they "turned" on GWB they still came back to the party no matter if it was McCain, Romney, or Trump.
You could put (R) Scarecrow on top of the ticket and they will still vote along party lines.

The GOP lost another 100k+ voters post 6th. Trump brought out inactive rural voters the smarmy country club establishment has never been able to get. It’s wild to me that Trump is their dude, but he is.
The gop needs the suburbs to come back and they’re gonna try to do this without losing the nutters. As soon as he’s acquitted watch him start attacking the Nikki’s and such though, and it’s I’ll be amazing.
That secret house vote is just amazing. The disconnect is wild and 60% of the GOP is controlled by trumps base

I know it's a 'joke' but it's a conservative MP threatening to murder the four year old who sent his daughter a valentine's day card. It's as they say, a normal country.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI'm kinda surprised when I don't hear a shitty overprotective dad joke / weirdflex out of old guys.I don't know... that's a flabby flex. At least do tie Bad Boys flex 😂
By DY_nasty Go To Postthere's no way he gets out of this one
Never said otherwise.
Look, Trump was never being convicted ever. The goal should have been to make the Republicans who vote to acquit as fucking ridiculous as possible. You could have called Tuberville. You could have called Pence and Trump as private citizens. You could have voted party line on every hilariously pointless witness the GOP brought up and got what you wanted if you played as hardball as the other side do.
But still the Democrats are under the illusion that bipartisanship and unity will work. It’s fucking embarrassing and they should be ashamed of themselves for being such cowards.

It’s 2021. No one is still on the fence (even if they pretend to be). There was never going to be a conviction and it wouldn’t be news or matter to make Republicans look as ridiculous as possible. They do that all on their own but their base loves them for it, and until there’s a fix to all the gerrymandering none of this shit will ever matter because of the ways districts are drawn up. [insert that image of Big Boss’ district in Texas]

They’re not doing legislation like that currently and Biden didn’t include a single republican in his admin so ...
I mean this is definitely weak shit here but putting bernie in charge of reconciliation for two years isn’t what you’re describing at all
By n8 dogg Go To PostBut still the Democrats are under the illusion that bipartisanship and unity will work. It’s fucking embarrassing and they should be ashamed of themselves for being such cowards.Nah, that's just the out loud part. They are the normalization party who secretly support and benefit almost everything the GOP passes (and thus losing to them doesn't bother them that much).
By n8 dogg Go To PostThey are not removing the filibuster and for that they are ultimate cowards.
I mean it would help if our slim 50+1 majority didn’t include joe Manchin and new centrist queen Sinema.
To be clear we need both, but we also likely need DF in cali replaced and we need pick ups from fetterman in PA and others in 2022.
Also reconciliation has become a joke. It’s basically the removal of the filibuster at a. Usher level already
Either way your “bipartisan” attack is not even remotely accurate currently
They just folded on calling Trump and following up with consequences. He is a private citizen. Go after him like they would any young black man who would refuse to be a witness.
Spineless.
Spineless.
Don't even know what happened but it's hilarious y'all are still surprised that these people are all the same.
