The current thinking as I understand it is expiry policies make most types of accounts less secure because users just cycle through the same predictable pattern of adding increasing numbers of exclamation points or incrementing the last digit at each required password change, and if you require new passwords to be too substantially dissimilar from x number of previous ones then users can’t remember them at all. Policies that make people use minimally complex passwords because they have too many to remember and don’t understand how password managers work inevitably increase password reuse between services and devices which does the opposite of improving security. Especially with MFA enforced, which I’ve been known to do as aggressively as I can get away with, there’s just no sense in requiring regular password resets – as long as the password remains complex, unique, and uncompromised. I’m not a network security expert but I am responsible for managing these sorts of things in my role and that’s the rationale I use for the group policies in a typical customer’s environment.

IDK man, all the way? I don’t think I’m good enough to have actual impostor syndrome like real developers.

That’s a good idea. Yeah, the trick I discovered in getting them off the mounting bracket without the chrome plating peeling is to grab each end of the bracket with vice grips and/or pliers (after you unscrew it from the drive) and just bend it down and away from the magnet. They usually come off in one piece that way, too.

Thought it was just me. Used to have at least twice this many in my old office:

Fuck that guy.

Which pins go to the motherboard other than power/reset? Is that USB connector just passing through the keyboard and mouse signals?

Maybe, but power consumption can get steep with some server boards/chassis which might tip the balance over time.

I know up to like 2^16 or maybe 2^17 while sufficiently caffeinated. Memorizing up to, or beyond, 2^23 is nerd award worthy.

Must be a technical term.

Signal is dropping SMS support so it wouldn’t do you any good regardless.

I’m going to take this opportunity to plug nzb360 again for mobile management of most of this if you’re an Android user.
