  • Hardly. It’s incredibly important, especially at such scale. But while AD scales well for a business, it does not scale in a way that makes sense for everything being sold as a service online. Even with Azure, there are other options that are frequently more practical.

  • Being in the cloud changes the pressures you face. It’s an environment that no longer has the “everyone is using windows and on the domain” advantage.

  • Honestly, I’m surprised nobody whipped out a phone, hit record, screamed “world star” and beat his ass.

  • Would you believe we didn’t do that? They are just convinced that’s how this should go.

  • No, it’s other crap too. And I’m not convinced AD is as important as people pretend it is, especially with everyone pissing themselves to take everything off prem and into the cloud.

    AD is great because it’s already there, not because it’s actually superior.

  • No, they employed to contract out the support endlessly and fingerpoint when they can’t figure it out. Yay Microsoft!

  • They said they it’s a Citrix thing. They are getting rid of Citrix too, which is fine as it’s a pain in the ass, but moving to full PCs for remote workers tha don’t need them is a ridiculous waste of time and money, especially now. It’s just going to make things worse because supporting that won’t scale as cleanly.

    And why this migration? It’s not like Citrix was a bad idea on the first place. It actually solves some real problems for us.

    IT: “because we can’t remote into a Citrix box.” Me: “the fuck you cant.”

  • Me: -submits ticket- “our recycle bins don’t work anymore. What happened?”

    IT: “we scripted them to disable every time you guys log in from now on.”

    Me: “…..why?”

    IT: “don’t know, but you won’t be getting recycle bins back until the upgraded computers roll out.”

    Me: “okay, when will that be?”

    IT: “dunno. We have to do the entire company and we can only do about 4 a week.”

    Me: “dude, set up a fucking FOG server, throw all the interns at hooking the new machines up to a cheap switch, and multicast out an image. Bang this out in a few weeks.”

    IT: “nope, open source doesn’t have support so we don’t use it.”

    Me: “and who is “supporting” you at a rate of 4 pcs a week?”

    IT: “…..is there anything else I can help you with?”

    Me: “gave us back our recycle bins.”

    IT: “no”

    Fucking Christ these guys are dumb.

  • That solves nothing. Humans are still the once’s feeding the criteria to the computer so it will just do whatever they tell it to.

  • Think of rustdesk as splitting the difference between teamviewer and bomgar. But open source and actually fucking works in Linux.

    If that machine is listening and waiting for something outside to be let in automatically once a condition is met, it’s not set up correctly. Only allow remote access on demand. Anything else is irresponsible.

  • Honestly, people are so pissed at Trump, and there’s so little credibility left in the GOP even among their own base, that might not matter anymore.

  • You don’t need tailscale and honestly you should not use it unless you actually need it.

    Put an icon for rustdesk on the desktop. Tell them if they ever need your help that’s how you can remote in to fix it. Only run it when you need remote access.

    Never ever set up auto launching remote connections or tunnels that aren’t actually needed. You will create more security problems than you solve.
