As long as each search is human-triggered, it should be okay, right?

No, it starts throwing up CAPTCHAs rather quickly on any traffic that doesn't appear to come from a browser, and any traffic that shares an IP address with such.

this relationship is not worth it...
So, he's back on, and I'm fortunate enough to be able to watch him control the RDP session in TeamViewer (kinda weird, since I thought TeamViewer was primarily console-session-bound, but I'm not wasting this gifted horse!
So far, over the course of two hours, he's managed to log into the barracuda device planted a month ago, and installed the barracuda agent into the running server.
Just recently, he's rediscovered how to test that a mapped drive is accessible via network name by making an empty file and searching for it in Network.
No, literally. He went to here and made a file:
Then went here to find that same file:
What the hell?
And all this assuming because he wiped out the prior backup configuration while reinstalling the CLOUDBIZ application and has no frickin' clue what/where needs to be backed up.
It almost seems like he's reading documentation on his own computer on how to make a backup, when in theory this should be fairly straightforward and intuitive.
Oh, and let's ping the server, for shits and giggles.
All so we can access it by IP instead for reasons...
But seriously, I'm watching about half a minute activity for 20 minutes of idle. I have no words...
Edit: Bro, do you even login? (Yes, he has user credentials. Why the fuck is he asking me this?)

Huzzah, behold Chrome's auto-complete getting in the way!
Yeah, that's definitely what you meant.
Ohh... he's trying to get into the host for... raisins. Why? The barracuda device doesn't interact with FreeNAS (so far as I know).
Funny enough, if he just clicks into the username field, Chrome will also helpfully autopopulate the root username and password (this is the administrator account and I'm lax enough that I saved it in Chrome).
I have a feeling he's just throwing shit at the wall and figuring out what sticks.
"Hur dur, you want the files, right? That's on the CIFS, yeah?"
Yeah, and which you've reliably demonstrated you have access to (see above screenshots).Throwing more shit at the wall. What is "direct to Samba paths" even mean?

It's 3am. Goddamn thing is up. The array is 'degraded' but all disks (including the hot spare) are online and healthy, supposedly. It's doing something to itself that involves a ton of activity, so I don't care any further currently.
I still don't know why only one iSCSI LUN would mount at a time from the SAN because it magically fixed itself while I was trying to work it out. EventViewer was useless, just a ton of 'logon failed' and a hex dump which I can't bloody read.
I swear I'm going to go Amish and ban these Devil's charge-carriers from my life.
Edit: It was a warning indicator. Why in the hell is it green!
-
@Cursorkeys said in The Official Status Thread:

Because you can see it better than red?
Normally (for me) blue is "Has power" and green is "Has activity", and if it's solid green then either you're eating a sock or the disk isn't responding....

Yeah, that's been a bug for a while. Not sure why, but if you spawn at the origin (0,0,0) your location isn't replicated to the actual location until the attached parent moves. It's.... fun.

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

That was the case with the previous firewall. It had an uptime of nearly two years, but one disk light was solidly on. I thought that was suspicious so I made sure the backed up config was current (and that new hardware was ready) and rebooted it. The RAID controller wouldn't even load it's own firmware on boot. It was just a paperweight. The IT spidey-sense is occasionally useful!

In other news, I would have fired this guy two days ago. Barracuda software is not hard. (Or wasn't when I used it like a decade ago.)
He WILL cause damage to your network, either directly or indirectly (causing vulnerabilities that are due to be exploited in the future).

access? And tell us to turn off the firewall in order to operate a glorified IP camera? And blame the C: drive being full for network communication errors? And say that we need to make sure the graphics card is "professional" otherwise it won't work?It's funny, because this guy is the one they've had for years to do security and things. I think I've mentioned that the old server VM had a worm that infected the antivirus system itself, which then infected every executable scanned, which caused it to quarantine everything including core Windows files. It was fun. Not sure if he was in charge at that point...

Regardless, I think I've managed to diagram a turbine building somewhat accurately...
Despite simplifications, it is still more complicated than the actual reactor building, which is somewhat surprising. Took me some time just to get my head around how feedwater reheaters increase efficiency. And even then I still don't really comprehend why...
@Cursorkeys is probably more into jet engines but I'll mention him anyway. He is, after all, a member of @by-joining-this-group-you-agree-to-be-mentioned-randomly-for-no-reason-is-that-okay-yes-no.

I hate Java and everything to do with it and Jetbrains.
I don't mind Java all that much — it's not my favourite language, but it's not my least favourite either — but utterly loathe the way Jebrains products work. (I also don't develop for Android, which might help. The toolchain for that platform seems weird from everything I've read.) Little things like what shortcuts should do, where to look for tools, and how the integration with version control works… they all drive me up the wall.
It's fascinating that my experience of the language is so different to yours…
I've been using Eclipse for Java programming, but the Dev team has created a fancy new version of our program, but it's been "updated" to Groovy, so now I need to have IntelliJ to be able to continue working. Any tips on making this transition smoother?
Note: I was provided with an Ultimate license, so I shouldn't have problems with missing libraries and functionality. At least so I hope.

@kazitor said in The Official Status Thread:

What matters is the temperature differential in the turbine system itself. (Your diagram has the turbines all at about the same temperature if I'm reading it right.) That's important because that determines how much energy gets converted to electricity, and even fairly modest increases make quite a difference. Preheating the water going into the furnace must mean that the temperature of the steam going into the turbines is higher, which is a win (or you simply wouldn't bother).

If you're genuinely interested in learning it, I'd probably try to spend a little time getting used to the IDE. All the JetBrains IDEs are (in my, apparently contested) opinion, absolutely fantastic time-savers, but they do require a little bit of adaptation to use most effectively. Obviously, to some (dkf, for instance) it's infuriating. I imagine this is probably because the first "real" programming job I had I learned IntelliJ and it's kinda ingrained into my programming experience now. Just know there will be quirks, at least compared to other IDEs, but once you're used to it they're really great products.
