Rachel just showed up, she is moving back in today.

Like for good or just over Thanksgiving break?

Pretty much for good. We are expected to be "away" almost solidly until MangoCon, and then gone again right after MangoCon. So she is here probably at least till 2020, as we aren't here in 2019 much.

Was she the one with all the glitter? And forgot to pay one of the bills?

I took one of their seniors, and showed how, because he wasn't monitoring or controlling anything about himself online, that other people were and how, nearly fifteen years ago, I could find a reason to know who he was, where he went to school, what his activities were, who is parents were, his home address, phone, satellite pictures of his house, and a map to his house along with restaurant recommendations nearby... in under thirty seconds.

But you can do all of those things now... with or without someone being online. Nothing is unique to an offline user other then exposure.

Not, but it is easier with an offline user, primary because the user has zero control over what is out there about them and, more importantly, zero knowledge or understanding of it.

Ah it's not that it can be done... just that the person has no knowledge of it. Got it.

Japan's cybersecurity chief says he has never used a computer

Meaning he is the most secure person ever.

@scottalanmiller said in VOIP voicemail hacked aka DISA toll fraud:

@JaredBusch is FreePBX susceptible to this kind of attack? On none of ours is voicemail ever the first line of defense, first of all. But even if someone breached voicemail, I don't think that they can use that to make calls. I know some systems do, and Cisco is pretty renowned for lacking security, and I might easily be overlooking something, but I feel like this isn't a normal attack vector outside of the Cisco world.

IIRC it is possible but disable by default.

Started brewing my on kombucha tea a couple of weeks ago. It's not terrible as long as I keep it freshly fed with sweet tea every week. Just doing two small mason jars right now.

Have you ever tried Kefir? I had some over the weekend and it's very good.

@JaredBusch said in PowerShell - Create New AD User Using Prompts and Variables:

This is why you run things manually and not in scripts until you know WTF you are doing.

Use the PowerShell ISE, that is what it is for.

You also do not have the Country in quotes. It is a string value.

I am running it manually and I am running it in ISE.

Change your New-ADUser to a Write-Host and keep adding to the concatenated line until it breaks.

Write-host is one of the best debugging tools for poweshell. Does ISE have the ability to report what variable is assigned to what at a given step?

Well that sucks, MS has been known to kill good products, like Fable. Would be sad if these studios got treated like Lionhead or Mojang.
