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.

This is accurate.

I’d have a hard time trying to even make a case for commissioning.

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 🙃

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

Office culture nuances… I enjoy them.

I worked for a company where the previous IT dorks named the servers after startrek ships. It’s cute at home. Had to rename everything and readdress the whole organization.

It’s pretty plain to see IBM afraid of loosing vendor lock-in, but running a software solution designed for an open or distributed platform shouldn’t be that big of a threat, right?

All their selling points for z series are the insane hardware performance, redundancy, and tuning.

Isn’t it unlikely you’re going to get that on some virtual or abstracted mainframe platform?

If I was one of the businesses that’s been paying the fortune keeping IBM mainframe alive, I’d stay on it. They measure profits in the billions and saving some money going away from IBM and risking loosing countless dollars per minute seems like a risk…

Oh wait, I forgot, all American Corps are currently (since the 80s-ish), worthless greedy fucks solely focused on short term profit and stock price regardless of long term consequences. Maybe they should save some money on one of the things that’s helps make them billions…I bet that golden goose tastes amazing 😄

How far do you guys go?

'All of it’s or until it’s inconvenient?

What’s the pain tolerance for when everyone says it makes the job too hard?

Ever compared CIS controls to STIG ACAP?

I’ve only ever used SCAP for a few reasons z but one being it’s free.

What do you guys use for STIG audit?

Manual STIG viewer or SCAP?
