I have exactly one IRL friend that cares about my technology stuff, but he lives far away and we don't see each other in person too often. My ex tolerates me talking about it a little bit before he tells me to shut up, but that's it. It kind of sucks. I've just re-internalized to that nothing I do really matters, and therefore neither do I.
I've been trialling application allowlisting, but wow is it ever frustrating. So much stuff isn't signed, and when it is the accompanying DLLs aren't. or the signature is invalid. or some of Windows' own executables/dlls aren't signed (why?? you make applocker??) or the installer is, but none of the actual resultant end files
the (former) employee keeps them (i imagine for a myriad of reasons like hygiene and various overheads it would take to track such)
things like tools (wrenches, drills, bits, etc) are separately supplied by the company per department/work area (sort of like hot desking in the office world) and stay with the company at all times
in some cases they do! a friend worked for a labour intensive job (X days on, Y days off) and they have a yearly use-it-or-lose-it allowance that he was allowed to claim expenses against for things like boots, jackets, safety gear, etc
unsure how it's reported back now, but I believe (it's been a while since i've dug in there) it's also exposed as a metric for Google Workspace administrators to monitor client perf during said calls as well
is there a way to give a 'tailscale IP address' to dumber devices on your network? effectively serving 'tailnet addresses' via DHCP? say to a printer, other lower powered devices, etc. could have sworn i saw an article about this at some point but can't find it
my retirement plan is an overdose.
