25 years in the federal government in guns and badges, 22 of those in Corrections, then 10 years in hacker hunting and breach detection, now an information security sales engineer. Homestead farmer, amateur welder, equipment operator, electronic designer, 40 years soldering, husband and father.
“Lab” is a misnomer. I was running a lab for an adjacent product but the real grunt of this box was used for real time breach detection and hacker hunting where the box needed to be plugged directly into the network it was analyzing. I was very VERY good at detecting breaches. I met a group of the operators of APT1 and they knew who I was. Heh.
The UPS box was very heavy. The network and storage boxes were lighter. Most of the weight of this one is in the 20 hard drives and the DL360 chassis. This is definitely a 2 man lift.
I use my tractor at home and have the venue load it with a forklift when I’m on the rise.
I paid USD$160 for it used on Ebay.
Did this fucking fascist consider hiring more staff and going 24/7? How is it the problem of salaried workers that their boss is too fucking cheap to hire enough people to get the level of support that he wants?
