• Walk away and find a not incompetent lawyer.

• Send him docx files and tell him if he can’t work with modern files he needs to fix it. It’s like $30/mo for an office subscription. There’s no excuse for him being so cheap.

No, that belongs to Maria

Get a load of this guy, thinking containers are more of a hassle than VMs!

Well, this may just be what Canada needs to finally start selling their oil to China!

Sure, but if you don’t escape the \ then you likely won’t even be able to get the name into the first system. You need the name to contain \n so that it gets passed correctly to other systems, otherwise his name may wind up just being “John” .

Probably have to escape it so it will work properly: John\/nDoe

So let’s say you own an insurance company, and you want to offshore all the profits. You establish a reinsurance company in Bermuda to underwrite all your policies and charge your insurance company billions for the privilege. Now it’s a business expense so it doesn’t count as income for the insurance company. You have successfully offshored billions of dollars.

Sure, but how many foods are we talking here? This sounds like probably <20 rows on a sheet, with columns for ingredients.

Tracking a single cat doesn’t seem like DB work

Why wouldn’t a simple spreadsheet and some pivot tables work?

It sounds like you’re working towards building change management governance, and you are potentially looking for an enterprise resource planner “ERP”. ServiceNow, Atlassian and Oodo are a few examples of these. CIO/CISO/Enterprise Architecture and IT Business organization consultants are some of the likely personas to help get this set up correctly.

Depending on the size of your shop, and since this is in cybersecurity, you may want to look at your overall IT governance structure. Gaps in your governance can lead to some big security and GRC holes and the lens of cybersecurity is the right view to drive change.

There’s not much cost with S3 object. It’s just a file system in Linux, and replication is a protocol standard.

Use object storage for media and backups, then use s3 replication to put a copy somewhere else.

Remind me: who provides most of the funding that FF has?

If you have enough users and systems that this is a problem then you should be centrally managing it. I get that you want to inventory what you have, but I’m saying that you’re probably doing it wrong right now, and your ask is solved by using a central IAM system.

It sounds like you’re probably looking for some kind of SAML compliant IAM system, where credentials and access can be centrally managed. Active Directory and LDAP are examples of that.

Well, 1ms of latency is 300km of distance, so unless you have something really misconfigured or overloaded, or you’re across the country, latency shouldn’t be an issue. 10-20ms is normally the high water mark for most synchronous replication, so you can go a long way before a protocol like DNS becomes an issue.

I find a lot of stuff is using docker compose, which works with Podman, but using straight docker is easier, especially if it’s nothing web-facing

Yes, but you don’t need Kubernetes from the start.
