Coffee and a Stroopwafel
-
good morning, 9:22am.
got the word yesterday that we're expecting back on site from the 12th onwards. such ashame, the past many months have been some of the most productive, interesting & joyful with regards to work, of my last 10 years.
normally i move from site to site everyday, forgetting what I did last and wasting time settling into the newly arrived at site each time I arrive.
the past few months i've rekindled my interest in IT coz I had time to sit in one place, complete tasks & investigate new things.
I'm going to spend the time between now and the 12th trying to work out how I can run my work life from the cloud, so everytime I arrive at a new workplace, my desktop will still have tasks, jobs, notes open from the previous site, if that makes any sense.
and what the hell is a Stroopwafel??? ^^^

anyone looked at 2fa for W10? I'm looking for a way in which I can secure a W10 VM not domain joined and not using any bio security stuff, which would be hard to use on a vm anyway.

I think Duo and companies like OneLogin that offers authentication, SSO etc can do it.

We use Duo at my day job and it works well -- even on Non-domain joined systems.

They're like a waffle cone, but less sugar. Google it.

Less sugar? Are you sure you're not thinking of cardboard?
Seems like there's a lot of sugar and not so much cardboard in one of those Stoopwafels

Very standard European coffee biscuit. Much like biscotti from Italy, but the northern European equivalent. So common that McDonald's sells them and they are the in flight snack on several airlines.

A moment of silence for the fallen Stroopwaffel.

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...

yep, I get you.
I was looking at my isp last night, looking to cut some costs if possible.
$60/100GB, $62/500GB, $69 unlimited.
so most would choose unlimited.
I went through this exercise with everything last year, TV, ISP etc. Think I ended up saving $120/month just by not going unlimited. -

Or at least hopefully really high. In the case of a lot of ISPs, for example, the unlimited is often just a small step higher, like 700GB in your case. It's amazing how quickly unlimited becomes "moderately high" only.
