I need some good, intro level guides for PowerShell and SQL reports. Suggestions?
Is there a way to find out if a friend in Puerto Rico is ok?
I have a new job that doesn't have me working all hours of the night, so I finally have time for mastodon again! And a life, time with my family, and sleep, but priorities
Australians: where's a good place to find volunteers for charity fundraising?
Changing service templates in #ncentral and listening to pirate rap. As you do.
Game....or Grimm. Game...or Grimm. Hmmm. On the one hand I rarely have time to game these days and I really want to. On the other hand I've been binging through Grimm and I really want to continue. Thoughts people?
I uploaded my board game demo to Kongregate today. If you could play it and leave a review, I'd really appreciate it!
So there you have it: why password rotation is no longer recommended as a best practice, and an overview of how that came to be.
I knew Microsoft's security rollups would be a pain. I just didn't realize how big a pain until I was asked to verify that some 8000 devices have been patched for wannacry.

The worst bit? Compared to what Google and Facebook do daily and at scale, this is a toy.
I've been sick and busy so was away for awhile but it is so refreshing to be back. My twitter feed is just one GOP nightmare after another. If I asked this question there I'd get spammed with hate but here seems safer - does the GOP actually do anything good anymore? It doesn't feel like they're even doing things their constituents want
anyone know of an app on android that locks the home, back and tab buttons while leaving touch screen working? Bub loves playing her game apps but is obsessed with buttons so closes the game all the time
4 day holiday weekend into 4 days vaca from work - I've not had time off in almost a year so this is good. I just need to not think about what might be blowing up at work...

So...Anyone in the north of Boston (MA, USA, Earth, Sol System) looking for an IT tech of some sort?

Reading through the #introduction tag makes me have flashbacks to chat rooms eons ago with a/s/l. Am I showing my age? Oh well.
I'm a gamer, a geek, a parent (kids of the four and two legged varieties.) I've worked in IT for 16 years and am currently a sys admin. I fundraise every year to help kids in hospitals #childsplaycharity
