HamSwagwich, in What is the name of your cleaning robot?

Consuela, for obviously reasons. No…noooo…

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The last thing I said before going under general anesthesia a couple of weeks ago was “I don’t think it’s working.” Because I’m a fucking genius.

bloopernova, in Fellow Extreme Weather Lemmings, what are your Buy it for Life winter boot suggestions?
@bloopernova@programming.dev avatar

I really like my Keen winter boots. They’re warm enough for the worst Michigan can throw at me.

Dkarma,

+1 for keen as a company in general. My young kid had a pair of keens where the rear pull loop failed right away. I emailed them and they sent her a new pair for free! You pay more but that convinced me they’re worth it.

TheDoctorDonna,

They are very nice! I don’t think they could handle the large piles of snow we have to traverse though.

“Nobody better touch my stuff…”

Good luck OP, I certainly hope your username is NOT relevant in this case.

@Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world avatar

Much appreciated! I sure as heck hope that, too, haha - my username is mostly related to my epilepsy, and how my oodles of seizures make me feel. Just…various, classic Windows error “bonk!” sounds, amongst other glitches, but in ma’ brain.

dgmib, in Tech workers - what did your IT Security team do that made your life hell and had no practical benefit?

One IT security team insisted we have separate source code repositories for production and development environments.

I’m honestly not sure how they thought that would work.

CosmicTurtle,

Could work if dev was upstream from prod. But honestly there would be no difference between that and branches.

Rednax,

Maybe it is a rights issue. Preventing a prod build agent of sorts to access develop code.

CosmicTurtle,

Yeah…assuming that the policy was written “from blood” (meaning someone did something stupid).

But even then you can put other checks and balances in place to make sure that kind of thing doesn’t happen.

This is such an extreme reaction though. Or the policy was made from someone dumb

Potatos_are_not_friends, (edited )

That’s fucking bananas.

In my job, the only difference between prod/dev is a single environmental file. Two repositories would literally serve no purpose and if anything, double the chances of having the source code be stolen.

dgmib,

That was the only difference for us as well. The CI/CD process built container images. Only difference between dev, test, and prod was the environment variables passed to the container.

At first I asked the clueless security analyst to explain how that improves security, which he couldn’t. Then I asked him how testing against one repository and deploying from another wouldn’t invalidate the results of the testing done by the QA team, but he kept insisting we needed it to check some box. I asked about the source of the policy and still no explanation, at least not one that made any sense.

Security analyst escalated it to his (thankfully not clueless) boss who promptly gave our process a pass and pointed out to Mr security analyst that literally nobody does that.

Tar_alcaran,

I’m honestly not sure how they thought that would work.

Just manually copy-paste everything. That never goes wrong, right?

lightnegative,

I mean, it’s what the Security guys do, right? Just copy+paste everything, mandate that everyone else does it too, Management won’t argue because it’s for “security” reasons.

Then the Security guys will sit around jerking each other off about how much more secure they made the system

mesamunefire,

Yep doing that now. Not sustainable in the slightest. Im glad im not in charge of that system.

I’m going under on Monday to get my ankle put back together. I’m totally using stuff that I found here.

Uli, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

“I want my last words to be funny, so try not to laugh.”

JustZ, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

“That doesn’t taste like fresh air.”

Ubettawerk, in what is you're phone journey?

My first phone as a teen was an LG Voyager. Then I switched to my first smartphone which was a Motorola Droid. After the phone slowed down significantly I switch to an HTC One, and once that gave me similar issues I switch to an iPhone 5 which I loved. Then I replaced it with an iPhone 7, X, and now I’m on an iPhone 13 PM. I used to always use Firefox when available, but I’ve stuck with Safari ever since I switch to the iPhone.

postmateDumbass, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

I hope it’s not Rapey Jesus on the other side this time!
