Accenture tops the list though. I've worked with other consulting companies that are better compared to them.

Yep. Worked for a company that was brought in to fix what Accenture messed up. Sadly they were able to regain the contract that I worked on because of some bizarre run around involving another contract.....

For the most part, all that I've heard of Accenture seems to match what you are saying.

I guess you weren't doing anything relating to sensitive government work. In those situations you do want a desk phone. In those cases you're not taking your smartphone into the work area...

He accepted as "Chief of the Cancer Program" of the World Health Organization. Where are you reading that he was a director of the WHO?

His Wikipedia article mentions that he accepted a position as Chief of the Cancer Program of the World Health Organization for two years (1997-1999).

You have to get it signed and deployed as a internal app first.

I personally like dockerized Mailcow: https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized

The OT link mentions that:

  The code is available, and will be licensed under a Free license when I'm ready.

So he may or may not relicense it to a free license...

I agree its a pain. It also makes things like working with other private certificate authorities (DoD Cert authority, other private certs) a pain. I spent a decent amount of time trying to get certain work/project related sites whitelisted from our MITM proxy because it didn't recognize the certificate chain...

Actually most of these corporations have plenty of controls on their networks preventing the random plugging in of devices into networks. Most of the time they are using something that involves 802.1X.

You and I agree. Unfortunately most large corporations, and US Government agencies like to be able to see and inspect network traffic. Mostly to prevent the theft of confidential data. The fact that the MITM proxies hoover up passwords and auth cookies still bothers me quite a bit.

I honestly haven't used snaps in a server context. I get them from the desktop context. I would probably use docker containers & docker-compose before using snaps. I honestly have more control in pushing updates and the like in that situation.

I get your points. In situations where Ubuntu 20.04 machines are on airgapped networks or corporate networks that use mirrors and the like. For personal and other situations I prefer flatpak and snaps...

True, but there are documents that have information that is at multiple levels of sensitivity and/or classification. When you work with such information, having such granularity of classification is a good thing (no matter how awkward it looks).

Don't forget U//FOUO.

Seriously? Being a cleared engineer, especially in the Washington DC area is a pretty decent career. Demand is pretty good these days with the current move from on prem facilities to the cloud as well...

Why would they need to do such a thing. The defendant broke his agreement with the CIA and the Federal Government by leaking classified information. It honestly seems incredibly stupid to falsify evidence that could torpedo an entire case....

Most colleges in the US have a general education requirement for humanities classes. That includes classes involving classic literature.

UFEI and secure boot predate the current CEO of Microsoft's tenure....

Out of curiosity, how does one legally get a license for Windows 10 LTSC without a enterprise contract?

What it does need is either support for LDAP sync or SSO support though...

Unless DigitalOcean creates their own equivalent of a GovCloud region, they won't be an option in my industry. I do still like using DigitalOcean and Vultr for personal projects and the like.

As long as banks have no incentive or are forced to provide API's, I doubt this will change...

I'm not a fan of how Plaid works either, but short of pushing for legislation mandating API for all banks, I doubt it will happen in the short term...

It does seem to be a trend that state universities are ending transfer agreements to 4 year universities. George Mason University ended their transfer agreement with NVCC 5-ish years ago.

I thought the serious concerns were in reference to how they handled the warrants to wiretap Carter Page, which the NYT article you linked to in your previous comment mentions: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/09/us/politics/fbi-ig-report...

This is why there are committees in both the US House and Senate that have oversight on the US Intelligence Community: the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Permanent_...) and the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Select_Co...).
