  • I was working for a big company, middle upper level technical position.One of my ex co-workers went to work for Disney. He hooked me up with an interview. They flew me in, rented me a car.

    They brought me in to the interview. I sat around for about an hour and a half before they were ready. They came in and grilled me on uncommon proprietary Linux management packages. At the time I was managing a couple of 10,000 node clusters, had been running them for years. Of the four guys in the interview three of them just dismissed me. After the interview I headed out, wasn’t really mad but I was pretty disappointed the fourth guy pulled me aside and said I think they were being extremely unfair to you in there if you are really interested in trying to work your way in here reach out to me and I can advocate for you.

    After the interview I farted around LA for a couple of hours and then flew home.

    After some reflection I realized I really didn’t want to work with those other three guys. I never reached back out.

    4 months later Disney dissolved that department.





  • The definitions picked up as a different name from everything almost everybody just refers to it is a generic Trojan.

    It could very well just be a false positive but I wouldnt leave it at that.

    An offline windows defender scan would be a good idea.

    You can always switch over to bitdefender there’s a free version of you search hard enough. Don’t run Windows defender and bit defender at the same time long term but it’s not a bad way to get a second opinion.


  • I was chaperoning on a school bus full of kindergarteners. They started chatting about the scariest movies they had ever seen. Some of them were talking about Goosebumps and some were talking about stuff in the realm of ET. The one little boy in my group looked up to me and said that stuff for babies that’s nothing. I said oh yeah? What are you watch. He said I like Jason I like Freddy I like Michael Myers. I asked him which scenes that he thought were the best and he actually seemed to have watched it all. I said so what did you think of IT by Stephen King. His eyes got wide and he said no no no no no no no. We’re not going to talk about that.

    I’ve run both. Started with Gnome.

    I didn’t absolutely love the UI but it wasn’t bad.

    Installed a bunch of plugins poked it, prodded, tweaked it. Made it exactly what I wanted.

    One time I tried KDE and found that it was exactly what I was turning gnome into with all the plugins.

    Admittedly, I think the Gnome control panels and tools are nicer.




  • It’s easier to manage security that way.

    Instead of having one binary folder full of stuff that’s intended to be run with privilege access and non-privilege access, all the privileged stuff goes in sbin and you don’t even see it in your path as a regular user. It also means that access rights can be controlled at the folder level instead of the individual file level.
