Being root? Do you drive your car from the passengers seat and hop over every turn or situation? You think that is safe? You are clueles.

You are just babbling, have no clue. Show us some code you wrote or else shut up. Or even electronics you designed.

companies and people get hacked because in 3 weeks you can become a sysadm and web developer by following an online course.

I remember in the old days asking what was it 'Hacktic' or something like that to attack my server to see if they could get in I watched them trying.. No go.

OTOH I know Big Brothel is of course in full control of every thing I do, google tells them everything I searched for, banks and paypal tells them everything I bought online, and governments can take with one law everything you have away. and you fear HACKERS??? LOL

Their employees to overrated slop like the Stones? Hard to believe they get listed in the same universe as the Beatles, they were a sloppy bar band that got really lucky.

Listen to, rather

You listen to the Rolling Stones voluntarily, get outta here granpa.

No idea what syndrome leader suffers from.. he should see a shrink.

But as far as the Stones go, there is a lot of documentary now on the air and I recorded some. At some point it is clearly drugs addiction LSD cocaine what not, but on the other hand they can really deliver at times (I mean music). I have been around and that drugs scene and what can happen with people is very familiar to me. Never got into it much myself, but after viewing that documentary wondered if I should not ;-) I mean they were advertising it really. You need a strong will to stay or steer clear. They do have some very good music really. And Beatles have made some crap. Look for the good. Same with electronics, good designs bad designs.

How they ever got picked up and signed based on the sloppy covers they were doing early on is one of those little mysteries people who weren't around for the era may never understand...

Well, to read it you just type 'okular OPA818*'. ;)

Someone must have seen the potential Mick had to be a star I suppose. Does not look like an easy thing to do, even the Beatles did not have much to be given the start to eventually deliver the Lennon-McCartney songwriting, by far the greatest in human history. The Stones have also written some huge songs, perhaps more than 10, which is a lot. Much of it must have been down to luck of course, things like that do not happen without luck. Like John and Paul meeting etc.

I just downloaded a connector catalog.

This is why I create a folder for every project and use descriptive names for stuff.

Fúck that old dorks that think using spaces in file names, or long file names, is horrible.

I label design files e.g. DescriptiveName_ClientOrProjectName_11-9-21

Yea, some longing for freedom perhaps too. Their drummer, Charlie Watts, died recently he was good, watched him on several videos. Maybe he kept the group together in a way, we will see. Maybe that is also the reason there is this big media focus, here is the 'TV channel 2 extra'channel in the Netherlands program listing this morning: 06:00 The beat behind Golden Earring 06:55 Vrije geluiden sessies 07:20 Toppop 08:25 Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones: Live at the Checkerboard Lounge 1981 10:00 The Rolling Stones: Crossfire hurricane 11:50 Golden Earring Live vanuit Luxor 12:45 Rolling Stone: Stories from the edge 13:25 Opera Zuid: L'elisir d'amore ...

Amid opera and other classics and dance and theater...

I consider these pretty good You_Cant_Always_Get_What_You_Want_Live Honky_Tonk_Women rolling_stones_acoustic_wild_horses Sympathy_For_The_Devil_Official

That 'Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones' video is nice too, for interaction, guitar.

For better sorting, also on updates, I use most significant first.

Blame the server side engine for using randomly chosen names.

I expect the engineers did put it into the system with a name like "Connectors2021.pdf" but the software mangled it to that. I rename such files so that they will make sense to me after downloading.

CMS systems make their content virtually impossible to manage sometimes!

My pet hate at the moment are bank machines. Cash is incredibly out of fashion in the UK now thanks to Covid so when you do need some you have to fight a bank machine. First one had none at all but didn't tell you that *until* you had gone through the rigmarole of logging in with a PIN when it said an onscreen balance was the only service available.

The second one had cash and offered rather low onscreen defaults of

10,20 or 50 so we picked 50 whereupon it said "only have £20 notes please try again". I wouldn't pay their programmers in lead washers.

Likewise I have seen far too many bank machines in BSOD mode.

I don't use a lot of cash and I get a reload at the supermarket (I do the grocery shopping on Saturday morning), cash back from a debit card. One standard choice is $60, so I do that. The usual is three $20s, but they are happy to do smaller stuff if you ask.

Most of my income is direct deposited. We can deposit the occasional check with a cell phone camera, so I haven't been to a bank or ATM in ages.

Wow, must have struck a nerve there with your garbage, lazy, sloppy practices you've been using cluelessly for ages.

Listen son, I work with security. What you're doing is complete garbage and you don't know what you're talking about. Worthless slobs like you with some 3 ring binder of steps from 1998 are why people have their identity stolen, and mundane stuff like pipelines get shut down over a panic. You do nobody a service by doing a shitty job and then claiming you don't care about privacy because somebody else bent you over already.

For the audience, retards like this fool are why companies are constantly compromised. Lazy, untrained people using dusty practives from decades ago.

Tell us more about Big Brothel. THis should be good.

Thanks, seems like a better system than mine I'll give that one a try

The extent to which I no longer use cash is that £100 cash has lasted me over 8 months. Virtually everything is paid for contactless except the log man and the chimney sweep (even he might have a machine by now). There was a massive increase in sales of mobile phone linked chip and PIN terminals shortly after lockdown. Even market traders use them now.

The village shop is the only place that I regularly pay by cash.

I get one cheque a year from a client so antediluvian that they still have a physical cheque run. I stuff it in a prepaid envelope with a paying in form and post it to my bank. Everything else is by BACS or electronic Faster Payment which are both point to point bank transfers.

I think some UK banks do accept images of cheques but mine doesn't. OTOH they did rashly offer free business banking for life as their USP. (which the new owner bitterly regrets but the contract is enforceable)

Keep some gold coins ... but as I read shelves are empty in the UK anyways and people go to foodbanks wonder if my deep frozen pizzas will be accepted as payment by workers. When things get worse human meat will be in too, beware of the men with bow and arrow.
