      About a month ago I was cleaning out my grandparents basement with my dad and one of my uncles that I rarely see because he lives out of state. We came across an ancient desktop PC with a Windows XP sticker on it. My uncle got super revved up when I went to throw it away because "he has a friend who is a dev at MS, and he says that Windows XP is the safest operating system out there because it's so old that hackers don't even target it anymore." He ended up taking it home with him to "setup as a server." Okie dokie then... I couldn't believe it. He didn't want to hear anything I was trying to tell him.

      HAHAHAHAHA

          First official day back in the office. Time for 2021 to get off the ground!

          Welcome back!

          Ironically, I'm the only person on my team who is going to be in every day, lol. Everybody else has "Doctor Excuses" and actual for real health problems, so they don't have to work from the office... yet.

          Assuming the company can exist that way - why are they pushing to bring anyone back? why not extend it permanently?

          lol. State Run college. Warm Bodies on campus = More Money for certain things is the way I understand it. COVID comes back next week -- I mean the kids come back.

            They claim that, but it's a lie. The "more money" comes from themselves. It's the org itself falsifying the numbers to make it look reasonable. But at the end of the day, it's the state trying to make excuses for losing taxpayer dollars.

              Quite likely. But those types of decisions are above my pay grade, lol. Since the college is staying relatively sane and there's no rioting in the streets and folks with covid ain't out coughing on people in force, I'll report for duty as requested... at least until my kiddo's school has an outbreak and we have to switch back to remote learning, lol.

                    Just looking at a document for PCI compliance.

                    • Implementing only one primary function per server to prevent functions that require different security levels from co-existing on the same server?

                    to me that's a VM per function?
                    e.g. before seeing this i was about to spin up a new VM that will be a file server (we have reasons for it not being cloud) then also a IIS site, run a password expiring messaging program (this was done by someone else, i'm sure there's a easier Free way of doing it).
                    But to me that says each of those functions should be on their own VM?

                            Yes, that is the preferred way to handle things. Each VM only does a single thing. In this case 1 would be a file server and 1 would be an IIS server (why anyone would choose IIS over all the other faster alternatives I don't know.)

                              Also why use something so expensive, unless there is a requirement to use Windows.

                                    Legacy product, waiting to be replaced (this will be a good excuse to start 😃)

                                    Same for @DustinB3403 all legacy stuff and ways of doing things (some people don't like change)

                                            I'm definitely in the "not deploying any more CentOS" camp now.
