The Vancouver Christmas tree right after its lighting ceremony, at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC. — December 2010

This is deliberately out of focus.

Happy Winter Solstice.

Winter is here.

I don't really care much about cerifications of any sort so I can't be sure I'm describing the right one, but I remember when working at a small ISP/datacenter we wanted to get SOC II (??) compliance to please some customer and the process was like this:

Me: what are the requirements?

🤖 We have to document all our processes and procedures

Me: and then what?

🤖: an auditor will verify (by quizzing you in front of a computer screen they don't understand) to prove you're following the documented processes and procedures

Me: okay, but like what do we have to do? How long do we have to retain customer backups, for example?

🤖: there is no requirement. How long are you retaining customer backups?

Me: well we had that failure so right now we only have 6 months

🤖: so document 6 months

Me: can we just say one month? And then we exceed our documented retention by a good margin?

🤖: yes

Me: this is a scam isn't it?

„Pan ministr se trochu porouchal.“ SPD šokoval její šéf obrany Zůna, hnutí přitom Rusko za agresora označilo také

Analýza: Páteční tisková konference ministra obrany Jaromíra Zůny (za SPD), respektive její ohlas se hnutí vymkl z rukou.
