How far do you guys go?
'All of it's or until it's inconvenient?
What's the pain tolerance for when everyone says it makes the job too hard?
Ever compared CIS controls to STIG ACAP?
I've only ever used SCAP for a few reasons z but one being it's free.
What do you guys use for STIG audit?
Manual STIG viewer or SCAP?
Personally, I am also convinced there's unlikely to be a flip of Indiana from red to blue (unless something changes), so I have to consider which red I want, or dislike the least.
I haven't researched the new likely front runner yet. I've only seen comments here, which likely won't favor him, but I might not either after I consider his record and stances, IDK.
Rock and a hard place?

Thanks for the insight.
It's a shame we still can all just get along. That saying is lame, but it's ultimately the goal.
One of my ideas, that isn't terribly realistic or shouldn't have to be resorted to, is to locate our selves in regions that are more welcoming.
There was a person at my work who was lesbian, which I suspected, but they weren't open. One day at a social event, they brought their wife and brother (for support) and made public. I was stupid and didn't put all that together until then.
They moved to Washington State and both have great jobs now. I felt like part of that move was related to moving to a region known to support their life style more welcomingly, at least compared to Indiana.
You shouldn't have to do that, but if I could stack enough chips to afford doing that and needed to, I would.
I said above that you shouldn't have to do that ever. No one should be treated like shit by whole groups of people, political, religious or other wise.
I like the idea of states competing for talent and opportunity. Washington also tried decriminalization of all drugs. Lots of people nay sayed. I thought it was great. They tried an experiment instead of just listening to a bunch of wind bags. That didn't work as it was implemented, but we all got real world data, and identified other failures of legislation that went beyond just drugs (treatment, transportation issues, logistics, funding,.etc). I might be all talk though, I would not want to conduct that here.
Weed is the same way. All the states doing it are eventually going to have eliminated all excuses for now allowing it. Some states still might never. That's ok. People can shuffle around based on what's important to them.
You shouldn't ever have to be subjected to mistreatment just for who you are though, anywhere in America.
I hate both our parties, most of all politicians, and a large majority of our policies in their current form. There's no one for me to vote for, and no national pride in what they do or represent.
I enjoyed the weird feeling when all the traffic was very scarce, and even though stores and shops were open, everything seemed to stop for 30 minutes as everyone stood outside.
It was like capitalism took a 20 minute break, and I wish we could do that more often. Not a ton, just a little
Are all Republicans the 'same' I your opinion?
I often want to think that people can be conservative and like some Republican ideas, but without the stereotypical bigotry stuff.
Personally now, I think that's less and less possible, but part of why I'm asking.
I feel like I'm running into less barely Republican people, and more very Republican people. I guess by that, I mean people whom are more accepting or believing that their policies are right (being very opposed to immigration, accepting LGBTQ, pro corporate, etc).
I like the Midwest, and dislike the East Coast look and feel. I haven't been on the West Coast enough to form a meaningful opinion.
I also don't qualify for discrimination targeting. Most of the corruption I'm surrounded by seems to relate more to socioeconomics and greedy politicians than people who care about someone's color/etc, but again, maybe naive...
one of the marginalized groups
You're a double or triple then...:)
the people who elect these bigots know exactly what they stand for, and they support it. South Dakota has a really problematic history But anyone who supports Republicans here knows exactly what they’re getting
Do you think that is a majority, or just a powerful/extreme small group?
I don't know anything about SD, so I'll have to google what you're talking about.
I can’t legitimize their worldview by having anything to do with them beyond what my work requires
I can relate to this in a small way. I'm probably way more conservative then most average/stereotype lemmy users, but I find that the view points of people I work with are far more extreme/right than mine. I'm maybe barely right, or right in some things, and left in others? Who cares. I just cannot for the life of me see how they can only view things/people from one side. When they rant about left/D things, I point out the same things about right/R things, it's like they lose their minds. It's all fake news and brainwashing, but they don't see the hypocrisy in anyway. I have no idea how.
I am still hoping the whole region isn't as bad as I'm led to believe. That's the reason some of your view points are helpful.
I tend to agree with the nice and kind part of Midwest, with exception that it seems like we're becoming more hard-line against things people call woke or alternate life styles.
I'm using a universal 'we' since, and I think you're right - there's a difference between urban city thinking and rural community thinking.
I have a whole theory about the city thinking and rural thinking having to due with ownership or property, but that's a whole other thing...
Let's Play Date, Marry, Kill...with Roundabouts.
What are your thoughts as Indiana starts adopting these modern traffic control measures (Europe has been doing them since...forever)?
Most people I talk to either love or hate these intersections. For some reason, I can't find people who are indifferent to them very often.
According to the Carmel's city webpage: "Carmel is internationally known for its roundabout network. Since the late 1990’s Carmel has been building and replacing signalized intersections with roundabouts. Carmel now has more than 150 roundabouts, more than any other city in the United States."
"The number of injury accidents in Carmel have reduced by about 80 percent and the number of accidents overall by about 40 percent."
General PROs / CONs
- Up to a 90 percent reduction in fatalities
- 76 percent reduction in injury crashes
- 30-40 percent reduction in pedestrian crashes
- Reduces the severity of crashes
- Keeps pedestrians safer
- Roundabouts reduce the number of potential accident points within an intersection, 75 percent fewer conflict points than four-way intersections
- No signal equipment to install and repair, savings estimated at an average of $5,000 per year in electricity and maintenance costs
- Service life of a roundabout is 25 years (vs. the 10-year service life of signal equipment)
- Reduces pollution and fuel use
- 30-50 percent increase in traffic capacity, improves traffic flow for intersections that handle a high number of left turns, reduces need for turn lanes
- While roundabouts can handle moderate to heavy traffic volumes more efficiently than traditional intersections, they may experience congestion and delays during periods of extremely high traffic volumes or if not designed properly for the anticipated traffic flow
- Pedestrians and cyclists may face challenges navigating roundabouts, particularly multi-lane roundabouts with higher traffic volumes. Proper design considerations, such as providing safe crossing points, adequate sight lines, and dedicated pedestrian/cyclist facilities, are crucial to ensure their safety.
- Drivers unfamiliar with roundabouts may initially experience confusion or hesitation when navigating them, potentially leading to increased risks or delays until they become accustomed to the traffic patterns.
- Roundabouts generally require a larger footprint and more land area

Indianapolis and the surrounding suburbs are implementing them more frequently now, how about your city?
Did you know that traffic circles are different from roundabouts? PA has a little comparison chart that was interesting (If you're into that sort of thing): https://www.penndot.pa.gov/PennDOTWay/pages/Article.aspx?post=24

I have been painstakingly laying the ground work for segmenting network into data center management plane, and future overlay networks for internal applications and dmz / public services.
It would have been easy to burn the place down and start over...
