There is nothing cruel about doing a phishing test. Using monetary rewards is also quite common.
True... However, I can see where employees would be upset, given the time of year, the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic, people are suffering, etc.

GoDaddy wins our 2020 award for most evil company email
What’s the cruelest prank you can make on employees who are struggling during a global pandemic when millions of people have lost their jobs or lives? GoDaddy — a web domain registrar once best known for its sexist advertisements — tried to find out when it sent employees a fake email informing them they’d receive a $650 holiday bonus.

The future of the CentOS Project is CentOS Stream, and over the next year we’ll be shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a current RHEL release. CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end at the end of 2021. CentOS Stream continues after that date, serving as the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Was just reading about this. Lots of upset folks!

RE: Latest Firefox update broke LastPass
@JaredBusch Yes, I read it, and it appeared to me to be the same issue you described. Don't shoot the messenger just because you didn't like the chosen solution.

RE: How to configure automatic updates on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
@IRJ said in How to configure automatic updates on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
Scripted a bit for anyone interested
FWIW, this line didn't work for me --
sed -i '/Unattended-Upgrade::Skip-Updates-On-Metered-Connections "true"/a\\ "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates"; ' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
I believe this is due to the line being inserted outside the
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins
grouping. -

RE: The Skinny on Plex: How Are People Using It
@hobbit666 Just started this whole process yesterday. I setup a VM with Plex server and I'm using my NAS to store the media.
Based on recommendations from a separate thread, I'm using MakeMKV to rip the DVD content. I haven't taken any steps to change format, compression, etc. Currently I've got 19 movies taking up 97GB
