        I guess you've never been through a security audit.

        No, really, never... maybe teach me how it's done ๐Ÿ˜Š
        as Jimp wrote, it's pointless to make a big deal of it, but if you need it just shout it out here..

        Thank you for your follow up

          @daddygo come on dude don't be so serious - that was seriously funny, and spot on.. hehehe

          We all get it - but he does have a point about some of the nonsense that can come out of those drone based audits, how many checks can be tallied up without a clue.. But hey these items were discovered that causes extra work and pain for zero reason..

          I recall one that just got my dander up.. On why the servers screen savers were not set to lock after 1 minute in the server room

          Because its a locked room, in a secured building - and only admins have access to the room.. And 1 minute timeout is counterproductive to actual work.. So its set to 10 minutes..

              Nope John, it's not a good day for me, but I don't take it seriously... ๐Ÿ˜‰

              either I'm being rude lately or people are so snappy

              • yesterday was the same - only with someone else

              I don't miss it :)

                  I'm just nervous about my flight (will be on Friday), stupid PCR tests + digital COVID passport, but finally after 1.5 years I can see my parents โœ‹

                    @daddygo -- yeah we recently got to see our grandkids after like 1.5 years of only alexa video calls and facetime..

                    Get your visit in -- seems more and more lock downs coming for sure..

                    We are wondering if scheduled trip in oct will have to be rescheduled yet again because of future lock downs.. Surges again all over - yet they are still running lollapalooza here in chicago with expected 100k people a day.. That sure seems like a super spreader event to me.. The world is crazy right now...

                    So understandable how people can be on edge, etc. I didn't really see your comments or rude or anything - just that you were not seeing his humor maybe.. I thought it was funny as shit! hehehe

                      Jeah, people think they got two injections and COVID is gone...
                      Our parents live 4000 km from me and my family..., we are very happy now that maybe our plane will take off on Friday.

                      Here in EU it's still a lot of administration, tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock test, then the test will be in the database, then we are anxious to get a negative result in the Android App, digital COVID license.
                      (before that, I flew every 3-4 weeks)

                      12 changes in the last 10 months on a flight which was booked at the end of 2020, it's a joke, but it's true.

                      Seriously, only after 1.5 years I'm going to get to my hometown(?!), + I can't see the end of my works, as I haven't been to our Hungarian data centre for 1.5 years either.

                      It's a long ToDo list, but somewhere deep in my heart I'm happy to be travelling. :)

                      Yes and the damn "D" variant is here too, this will only give me a headache in September when we will come back to Portugal.

                      BTW:
                      yes this "lockdown" may have killed the "humour" out of me, hahaha, - no definitely not

                              Hey isn't that more like 5G telecom towers?
                              Hmmm,... people are angry at the towers, because their spreading the COVID :)

                                    but it was element ninth that had to be removed.

                                    the whole world can see how a small thing can generate a big question..

                                    no one, but no one, is so concerned about the NSO scandal...

                                    this is also informatics, in my reading I hope..

                                            @anthonys Thanks a bunch! - Had my memory ramping up to the hilt (96%) within a few days, even killing DNS for lack of space. Then I found around 1 G used up for pcscd. Followed your suggestion, and immediately everything was down to normal.

                                            I for one call that a real bugger!
