Slept from eleven to six-thirty without waking.
High of seventy-seven and partly sunny today.
It's foggy this morning.
Work:
- Install VSCode
Done.
- Routing and redundancy planning
Done.
- Finish list of biggest HZ hazards and budget recommendations
Started but not finished.
- net security... NO, a less likely threat, except for the PCI DSS stuff
- single AD... bad, but is it a serious problem? How long is HZ's tolerance for rebuilding from scratch?
- backups (minimally in place, but how realistic is restore?)... YES, must buy additional drives from long-term backup, and MAYBE updated software
- zero budget
- PCI-DSS??
Revised list:
- The lack of any IT budgets leaves all system frozen in time (at best). They should have at least an annual "maintenance upgrade" budget. This could be used, for example, to upgrade one or two workstations per year, and prevent their entire fleet from slipping beyone end-of-life support (as it has now).
- Poor security culture. Sharing of passwords and loose permissions are rampant.
- BackupAssist and deprecation of TrueCrypt
- Add a couple (three?) long-term backup pulls to the backup rotation! We have almost lost data because of our limited rotation time window and slow user reporting.
- Uncontrolled IT spending; I should approve all IT purchases.
- Most computers not joined to the domain and not backed up

Crickets, cicadas, Canada geese.

Tidied up the apartment a bit.
