Yes, shoot me for wearing an anti-allergy mask officer. I'm begging you.
I will live like a king siphoning off your retirement pension if you shoot me for keeping pollen out of my nose.

I don't see a problem here. If the US auto makers are so worried, they should buy a few of them, copy their secrets, and sell them at a marked down price.
Turnabout is fair play, after all.

It's only minor if the data points in this breach are used by themselves.
Once you aggregate this with other data breaches, you could end up with a much bigger capability to target anyone in this breach.

It's an indoors office plant. If it ends up leaving the pot, it'll likely end up getting rolled over by some chair wheels.

Given the soil mix I used, it'll likely be very happy for the rest of its life.

 

It seems the compost I used was more lively than anticipated. There's an earthworm crawling around in there.
It's a decent 12 inch pot, but it's still effectively a limited environment. So I'm not sure if I should leave him in or take him out.

UPDATE: alright. I'll keep him in, cross my fingers, and hope I've pulled in enough of an ecosystem to both sustain him for his expected lifespan, and safely handle the subsequent death and decomposition.

 

It's going to be a while, but I have high hopes for this one. I transplanted it a few days ago into some augmented Mel's mix soil, and just kept it moist before bringing it in.

Looks like the compost had a few hitchhikers in it too. I'm tempted to leave them in for some extra green, depending on what they look like later.

I have some Black Hungarian chili seeds in shipping, and several big pots full of Mel's mix and manure waiting for them.

Enough games. If you can't get him to shut up, go over his head to every social media site he blabs on and hand them legal orders to remove the offending comments and disable his accounts.

Knock it off, Microsoft. You're not my buddy, you're an OS. Your job is to sit down, shut up, and run the programs I choose. That's it.
If I find a function that's useful for more than a week, I might make a batch file for it. Until then, you're spare code.

Only for version updates. Beyond that, dnf-automatic handles those invisibly in the background. I only notice them when Firefox gets an update and demands a relaunch before it lets me keep browsing.

Or the XCOM games.

SIP providers usually sell numbers in contiguous series for businesses. For example, if your company buys a block of 50 numbers, the SIP provider then allocates XXX-5100 to XXX-5150.

But since you're keeping this strictly internal, you don't have to worry about that.

Step 3: unfuck the SIP settings, then email both HR and their supervisor to throw them under the bus. Also covers your ass for step 4.

Step 4: Route the manager's calls to a disconnected number. When they come knocking about their phone not working, tell them, "No, you should be able to dial out, unless someone changed the SIP trunk settings and didn't tell me."

Assuming you already have the IP phones, you need two things. A PBX server (for the VoIP stuff), and a SIP trunk with a block of external phone numbers.

Start with the PBX server software, there's several free/open-source implementations. Once you're comfortable with it and have internal calling good to go, then you can spend on the SIP trunk and number blocks.
