  • I’m gonna have to disagree even though it is an annoying process listed above.

    In this case there was a drive encryption password to prevent data theft if the device is stolen, OS login for user level access, a password keeper login at the application level, and MFA on a different app. That is 5 different auths (drive, os, pw keeper, email, MFA) for 5 unassociated objects managed by potentially 5 different entities. The only reason this was an issue was the dead phone for MFA, which is a user error. It super sucks that this is best practice because of bad actors, but this is baseline auth.

    I am curious how you would do this differently though if you’ve got ideas. In this case, assuming the OS is Windows and email is Outlook, this could have all been handled with SSO, which would have only required the first two passwords, which is my daily work experience. However, I then get into Bitwarden and log into any not SSO apps I need and have MFA configured for all that support. I work remote a lot and my company is looking at an always VPN connection for everything. That would require me to go through another level or two of auth.



  • I was a carry-out at my local hardware store for a few years in college. I brought carts in from the corrals and helped people load heavy stuff. I’ve seen and been victim to the damage caused when a rogue cart catches the wind and fucks off down the parking lot. People that leave their cart not in a corral or inside disgust me more than more most lazy people.

    You’re my hero, dude.




  • That’s exactly the thing. Trump is a liar, but he’s not lying about what he’s doing, he’s lying about the outcomes. When called out for shit, he lies then too, but he has told everyone exactly what he has wanted to do. A vote for Trump was a vote for a racist, bigoted, rapist, wanna be dictator. His literal words were that he wants to be a dictator. There is no trickery in what he said, and the people that voted for him wanted exactly that. Now they’re upset it’s hurting them, and that’s about the only silver lining I’m find through all of this. If it wasn’t affecting me and mine, I’d have died from schadenfreude a month ago.
