Funny how that seems to often be the case. They need to see the consequences, not just be warned. An ‘I told you so’ moment…
Husband, Father, IT Pro, service.
I ask a lot of questions to try to understand how people think.

Agreed.
Dont we all use centralized management because there is cost and risk involved when we don’t.
More management complexity, missed systems, etc.
So we’re balancing risk vs operational costs.
Makes sense to swap out virtual for container solutions or automation solutions for discussion.
Yeah, that’s pretty risky for this point in time.
I guess the MBA people look at total cost of revenue/reputation loss for things like ransomware recovery, restoration of backups vs the cost of making their IT systems resilient?
Personally, I don’t think so (in many cases) or they’d spend more money on planning/resilience.
Seems like your org has taken resilience and response planning seriously. I like it.
I didn’t know how much the sheriff has to do with impd department policy/culture. In a metro department, I think that’s the chief of police, which I think is appointed?
Probably badger the city council and your local reps.
contract “options” are indeed normal. You could also lump in government contracts into the category your thinking about. I’ve never heard of a scenario where the vendor broke contract by not honoring the options. I also have never dealt with a vendor getting bought out and then not honoring existing contracts. Super fun to watch the corporate drama. I personally don’t care for the private equity style business that seems to be an even bigger problem than the investor first/profit centric model that I thought was the worst thing.
There’s a lot there, thanks.
I have been painstakingly laying the ground work for segmenting network into data center management plane, and future overlay networks for internal applications and dmz / public services.
It would have been easy to burn the place down and start over…
Ever look at emby?
So, it’s reasonable to assume they’d mostly have no need for a driver’s license?
What about the other things? How do you buy beer without a DL? I know broke people who still buy beer.
I’m still having a hard time imaging not having one at all.
I believe you might be right about that.
How do all these poor people do everything else?
How do they drive cars, buy cars, get paid, etc?
I can understand dealing in all cash, but you can’t legally drive cars with a DL. Is that racist? This logically means requiring motorists to have ID is racist and discrimination right?
Can anyone prove definitely that corrupt politicians are trying to keep poor voters from voting?
Still seems like an assertion that’s a matter of opinion.
Did anyone throw the same fit about driving cars? You have to take the same time off work and get all the same documents to do literally every other civil function: legally drive to work, open a bank account for direct deposit, get a credit card, get medical treatment, get insurance, file taxes, etc. You have to pay for transportation to the grocery store if you don’t have a car.
Why is just one political group making a fuss about it, which seems to be really focus on voting? You only vote once in a while. You do or use those other examples every day.
I feel like a larger issue is just being exploited for political people to make victom statements.
Why is voting less important to prove identity than buying alcohol?
I’m not a citizen of this country. You’re saying I can/should vote? That’s illegal, but what stops me. I could do it a bunch of times too, I just go to different places.
I get it, but I disagree. I don’t it’s about voting, I think it affects voting.
I’d rather fix the poor problem than allow voter fraud.
The fees for everything we need government services for, like getting a document is outrageous. Why the he’ll do we pay taxes to fund government agencies local/state/etc and then still pay fees?
That’s double taxation. I think that’s the real fight on poor people. That document fee is over some people’s hourly wage, but yet it’s required.
That’s about like having to be in debt in order to build credit. It all serves to take money from working class to wealthy.
So when I read this, don’t think: “Let’s stop ID’ing people when they buy alcohol or weed” (someday), but instead I think: “Why aren’t IDs free!?”
If it’s critical and a civil need to ID people for all sorts of valid reasons, then it should be free/tax funded.
I’d rather tax money cover something like IDs than hear agreements about trying to restrict fraud. If you want to prevent voter fraud, eliminate reasons that allow the conditions to persist.
Thanks for the read. I do t have an easy idea for the time. Indiana BMV was massively improved a while ago. Maybe we need more of that. There’s probably no getting around taking the time to establish identity or dealing with stupid documents. We have to start somewhere.
…or the government records your DNA at birth, then we’re good. - j/k, that would scare everyone into rage and riots 🙃
Thsnks
Could you legitimately explain this? I keep hearing that, but as far as I can tell, it’s not harder than:
ID: Buying alcohol, cigarettes?
Register: Free, fill out stupid card?
Prov identity: Get financing, open bank account, drive car - nope you don’t get arrested for not having license anymore? This list is way harder than voting.
Why is voting hard?
They look at my drivers license and then I p ress buttons.
I don’t even have to be sane, educated one way or another, sober, etc.
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
Lol, even in 2024 with free VPN/overlay solutions…they just won’t stop public Internet exposure of control plane things…
