Security and privacy advocate who loves all things FOSS. Currently working on helping my employer get away from all those proprietary software and services they pay way too much for. Currently living in the USA, and one day I hope somewhere in Europe, like Ireland (I loved it there).
Most places I've used sysgeek for my user name, but recently decided to use a handle from many years ago;

Seriously #Samsung, I put an SD card in my kids tablet so it can hold more games. Turns out kids accounts don't let you use the card! What the fuck Samsung! Literally no reason to do that.

Took my boy to the store today, he was very hyper and couldn't stop jumping around. While waiting in line at the pharmacy I told him to go down the automotive aisle and look for brake fluid. Kept him busy for 4 or 5 minutes before he found an employee to ask for help. Employee told him there is no such thing as blinker fluid... well there goes my fun screwing with him for the next decade.

Fuck #youtube! I was having a nice New Year's celebration with my family and we pulled up a video so we could watch a countdown. As usual, there were some ads before the video started to play. No big deal. Then, there we are, less than a minute to midnight, another ad! Unskippable! I get that they need to show ads to fund the cost of all these videos, but fucking hell ads in the middle of videos? I never see this on my computer thanks to adblock. Next time I will use a computer.

Has anyone ever used #wpscan against a multi-site #wordpress setup and gotten actual results from it? I'm working on a script that will tell me if any plugins are out of date and while wpscan works great on most of the sites I have to monitor, it doesn't seem to work at all on the one multi-site I have to scan.

I finally got around to upgrade my Nagios Core instance to the latest release (v4.5.5)and they got rid of the new network map! I'm sad to see it go, it was a really nice replacement to their legacy maps.

I'm still worried about Debian's plan to move /tmp to tmpfs and auto cleaning it every so often. There are too many things stored in /tmp like SSH connections and tmux sessions. I know there is a way to stop the cleanup, but having to remember to do this on every Debian machine is going to be troubling.

Is it just me, or is Kali Linux getting slow? Even worse is their purple edition, it seriously took hours to fully setup on a 7th gen i5 laptop.

Happy #sysadminday to my fellow admins! I hope today you will see how much you're appreciated and needed in this digital age.

Does anyone know if it is possible to set the WORKGROUP on Windows systems using ISC-DHCPD on a Linux server? Windows network sharing sucks when everyone is on a different WORKGROUP and I'm having a hard time finding anything.
