  • I’m over it now, but for 5 years I was anti-public transit. After working a 12 hour OT shift I took the train home. Sherriff was on the train and started checking peoples tickets. I opened my bag dug around literally 30+ other tickets, found my day pass and turned it over.

    But I didn’t get a day pass that day, I got a one way because of my OT plans was supposed to be an Uber home.

    So I got fined $250 for it. The crazies would just get pushed off the train but normals would get fined I guess. Pissed me off so much I just stopped using the public transit for half a decade.


  • They handle it better and your options to respond are better.

    You can immediately invalidate all associations for instance. You can revalidate them too once your identity provider is back up and running. Okta is going through this right now I believe, but I haven’t been paying a whole lot of attention to it.

    There’s no password with federated sites. It’s certificates to prove the connection is valid, and tokens.

    The federated website could chose to save nothing about you. It would make it a lot easier for them to do so, as it means less resources to manage, and less PII to be concerned about storing.





  • A newer employee was always complaining to management about our dept. at one point he wrote a long email that was mostly quotes from industry leaders saying how the industry despises our dept, that the changes we make are unnecessary. Our dept head received that email and showed it to me. It was pretty scathing.

    So I looked up the quotes.

    The employee had changed the quotes to fit their narrative. This is a no-no in their industry. The real quotes actually said that even though change is hard, it’s necessary and our dept is essential in making it go smoothly.

    I wrote back to management, highlighted the changes they made to the real quotes, and suggested two things:

    What they did may be ethically wrong.

    How they did it in such a dumb way may be how they approach other aspects of their job. Maybe they aren’t good at it.

    Never heard a peep from the employee again. They were asked to leave. I chortled when I saw their departure notice.
