ok this is an insane thing to have beef with/qs about but the construction of the gallows in terror is Not Right unless they were planning on strangling hickey and tozer rather than snapping their necks. which is possible but far less humane. as these things go.

was it precedent for english discovery service to strangle someone instead of snapping their neck re: gallows???? like, historically???? at the time????

mandatory disclaimer: it was probably a safety thing for the actors (do not put people into a working gallows, mock-up or not). still possibly interesting thematically, though

Mastering AWS on Windows: Configure Multiple Accounts with Ease | AWS Tutorial for Beginners by TutorialsFor #ManagingMultipleAWSAccounts #DevOpsOnAWS #ManagingMultipleAWSAccounts Mastering AWS on Windows: Configure Multiple Accounts with Ease | AWS Tutorial for Beginners https://ift.tt/JpyRaw3 As a developer or DevOps engineer, managing multiple AWS accounts is a common scenario. You may have separate accounts for development, testing, and production environments or for different projects. When working with Terraform, a popular infrastructure-as-code tool, configuring AWS credentials on your Windows machine is essential. In this article, we will explore how to configure AWS on Windows for two accounts. Understanding AWS Credentials Before diving into the configuration process, it's crucial to understand AWS credentials. AWS uses access keys to authenticate and authorize API requests. Each account has a unique access key ID and secret access key. You can create multiple access keys for an account, but it's recommended to use a single key per account. Configuring AWS CLI on Windows To configure AWS on Windows, you'll use the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). The AWS CLI is a unified tool that allows you to manage your AWS resources from the command line. Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator. Run aws configure --profile account1 to set up your first AWS account. Enter your access key ID, secret access key, region, and output format. Configuring Additional AWS Accounts To configure additional AWS accounts, you'll use the --profile option with aws configure. This option allows you to create separate profiles for each account. Run aws configure --profile account2 to set up your second AWS account. Enter your access key ID, secret access key, region, and output format. Verifying Profiles To verify your profiles, run aws configure list. This command displays a list of all configured profiles. Name Value Type Location ---- ----- ---- -------- profile account1 manual ~/.aws/credentials profile account2 manual ~/.aws/credentials Switching Between Accounts To switch between accounts, set the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. This variable tells the AWS CLI which profile to use. Use set AWS_PROFILE=account1 to switch to your first account. Use set AWS_PROFILE=account2 to switch to your second account. Note: Make sure to replace ACCESS_KEY_ID_1, SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_1, ACCESS_KEY_ID_2, and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_2 with your actual AWS access keys. By following these steps, you can configure AWS on your Windows machine for two accounts. #AWS #AWSTutorial #Windows #CloudComputing #DevOps #AWSCredentials #AWSCLI #MultipleAccounts #AWSConfiguration #CloudSecurity #AWSBestPractices #DevOpsTools #CloudEngineering #AWSSolutions #CloudComputingTutorial #ConfiguringAWSonWindows #ManagingMultipleAWSAccounts #AWSCredentialsManagement #CloudComputingForBeginners #DevOpsOnAWS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-UwWhwiB3o

you can all stop tagging me in the "amazon is leaking government documents 😱😱😱" post,

i am aware, google dorking like that (that's what the technique is called, it's fun, go learn more about it beyond a spongebob meme) is literally how most of my career started

amazon isn't leaking anything, that's incredibly misleading, these documents are leaking the way they are because a lot of customers don't properly configure their aws set up, this is not amazons fault or liability

most of the documents you will find that way are meant to be publicly available, for example everything on "imlive.s3.amazonaws.com" is for display on the government's contract bidding site, 99.9% of what's there is knowingly made public (a few years ago i downloaded over 2 terrabytes of that data and found like two documents of interest, neither were indexed by google), lots of other documents are public due to foia requests or other processes

please please please go have fun with google dorking (including that amazon dork) but i hate that sensationalist misleading meme, especially since it makes it out to be some sort of new discovery or bug, people have been doing this for decades and you can properly learn how to have even more fun with it when given the knowledge i now gave you and then slowly learn how to build your own interesting queries

AWS Lambda Compute Service Tutorial for Amazon Cloud Developers

Full Video Link - https://youtube.com/shorts/QmQOWR_aiNI Hi, a new #video #tutorial on #aws #lambda #awslambda is published on #codeonedigest #youtube channel. @java @awscloud @AWSCloudIndia @YouTube #youtube @codeonedigest #codeonedigest #aws #amaz

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the underlying compute resources for you. These events may include changes in state such as a user placing an item in a shopping cart on an ecommerce website. AWS Lambda automatically runs code in response to multiple events, such as HTTP requests via Amazon API Gateway, modifications…

Losing Control in the Cloud? How Governance Services Fix That

Cloud computing has revolutionized businesses' operations, offering unmatched scalability, speed, and flexibility. But with great power comes great complexity. As organizations migrate more workloads to the cloud, many find themselves overwhelmed, over budget, and out of sync with compliance requirements. Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. Cloud sprawl, security misconfigurations, inconsistent policies, and surprise bills are all symptoms of poor cloud governance. When left unchecked, these issues can erode your cloud ROI, increase risk exposure, and slow down innovation.

This is where Cloud Governance Services come in—offering structured, strategic oversight to ensure your cloud environment stays secure, compliant, cost-efficient, and aligned with business goals. In this article, we’ll explore what cloud governance is, the common signs of losing control, and how expert governance services help you regain visibility, trust, and operational harmony in the cloud.

What Is Cloud Governance?

Cloud governance refers to the set of rules, processes, policies, and tools that help organizations manage and control their cloud environments effectively. It ensures that cloud usage aligns with business, security, compliance, and financial objectives.

Governance includes:

Policy enforcement for security, identity, and compliance

Resource management and tagging

Cost controls and budget alerts

Operational standardization across teams and environments

It’s not just about control—it’s about empowering teams to innovate safely and responsibly.

Signs You’re Losing Control in the Cloud

As cloud usage grows, so do the risks—especially without a solid governance plan. Here are some red flags:

1. Unpredictable Cloud Bills

Are you shocked by cloud spending every month? Unmonitored provisioning, idle resources, or lack of cost allocation often lead to financial waste.

2. Shadow IT and Unauthorized Deployments

Are developers spinning up services without approval? This creates blind spots, security gaps, and potential compliance violations.

3. Inconsistent Tagging or Resource Naming

Without standardized practices, managing cloud resources becomes chaotic. It’s hard to track ownership, usage, or lifecycle.

4. Security Misconfigurations

Public-facing S3 buckets, unrestricted ports, or lack of encryption are common when cloud settings are left unchecked.

5. Compliance Headaches

Failing audits or scrambling for documentation? Lack of policy enforcement can result in non-compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, or industry standards.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to invest in cloud governance services.

How Cloud Governance Services Help Regain Control

Cloud governance isn’t a one-time setup—it’s a continuous process. Expert Cloud Governance Services provide you with the framework, automation, and support to proactively manage your cloud environment.

Here’s how these services restore order and confidence in your cloud operations:

1. Establishing Clear Governance Frameworks

Governance services help define a structured framework based on:

Your business goals

Regulatory requirements

Industry best practices (like CIS Benchmarks, NIST, ISO 27001)

This includes setting up:

Role-based access controls (RBAC)

Policy definitions for security, networking, and identity

Usage guidelines for teams and departments

A strong foundation ensures all cloud actions are traceable, secure, and in line with business expectations.

2. Automating Policy Enforcement

Manually enforcing policies across a dynamic cloud environment isn’t feasible. Governance services help you:

Use Policy-as-Code tools like AWS Config, Azure Policy, or Terraform

Create guardrails that automatically prevent unauthorized actions

Apply real-time remediation scripts to fix violations instantly

For example, you can:

Block unencrypted storage

Enforce tagging requirements

Restrict resource creation in certain regions

Automation reduces human error and ensures 24/7 compliance.

3. Improving Visibility and Monitoring

You can’t govern what you can’t see. Cloud governance services implement tools that give you full visibility into:

Who is using the cloud

What resources are being deployed

How those resources are configured and consumed

Dashboards, alerts, and reporting mechanisms ensure that decision-makers can monitor usage trends, detect anomalies, and audit activities.

4. Cost Optimization and Budget Controls

Governance is critical to controlling cloud costs. Services include:

Setting up budgets and spending alerts per team or project

Right-sizing resources based on usage data

Identifying and decommissioning unused or underutilized assets

Implementing chargeback or showback models

With visibility and accountability, you reduce waste and increase your cloud ROI.

5. Enhancing Security and Compliance

Cloud governance services help build a security-first culture by:

Enforcing encryption, MFA, and secure configurations

Monitoring for non-compliant resources

Enabling audit logs and access controls

They also prepare you for audits by generating:

Compliance reports

Logs of user actions

Evidence of policy adherence

This makes passing industry or government audits significantly easier.

6. Managing Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Environments

Managing policies across multiple platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) is a complex challenge. Governance services unify operations across clouds by:

Standardizing configurations

Synchronizing policies

Centralizing monitoring

This eliminates silos and ensures consistent compliance, regardless of where your workloads run.

Who Needs Cloud Governance Services?

You should consider Cloud Governance Services if:

You're operating across multiple cloud providers

You lack visibility into cloud usage and spending

You’re in a regulated industry like finance, healthcare, or education

You’re scaling fast and need proactive risk management

You’ve failed or struggled with audits and compliance

Whether you're a startup, mid-market enterprise, or global corporation, governance is not optional—it’s essential.

Final Thoughts: Regain Control, Drive Innovation

Losing control in the cloud is more common than you think—but it doesn’t have to be permanent.

With the right Cloud Governance Services, you can:

Bring visibility to your cloud landscape

Align cloud use with strategic goals

Control costs and reduce waste

Prevent risks before they become incidents

Build trust with regulators, investors, and customers

The cloud is a powerful enabler—but without governance, it can just as easily become a liability. Take control before it’s too late.

i like thinking abt how cas finds dean beautiful in a way incomprehensible to most humans and that for the longest time he has no idea that he’s bagged a friggin male model.

of course cas thinks dean is an 11/10 but for like his bright soul or how his freckles look like some stupid star configuration and he fantasizes about how dean’s lumbrical muscles move or like etching love letters into his tibia. cas has no concept of dsl, no idea how dean being over 6’ is highly desirable or that his wide shoulders may make others swoon, or that people freakin pay to have eyelashes like his.

he gets some idea of this in his s9 human era but it’s such a haze of confusion and hormones and literally being murdered after sex that he doesnt really get it until theyre in their post-canon fix-it era, like eight months into their relationship bc he remembers some off hand comment from some npc in a bar and he just goes:

“Dean, you’re actually… very ‘hot’. In the human way.” he says this with his best wet meow meow face, eyes wide and lips parted in awe.

and dean is just like mock offended and rolls his eyes bc he thinks cas is joking but then realizes cas isnt and sort of takes it personally bc holy hell this is crazy and is like “are you telling me you’ve been lying about bein’ in to me? what about all that crap you said i-in bed, man!? you called me b-beaut—” and he gets rlly insecure bc he freakin knew it, cas cant really be this into him

and then of course cas HAS to prove to dean that he finds him wildly attractive which leads to the sappiest, hottest and weirdest sex of dean’s life as cas fucks him and talks about how hot his molar teeth and how sexy seeing his pulse in his jugular veins is

It seemed like your job was getting better there for a minute under new management. Is it new management that's fucking up now, not "fixable", or is it holdovers from the old guy?

So my company, formerly owned by Gary, was "Strangled Bats LLC". The company that bought us is "BunnyCorp Inc." Late last year, BunnyCorp Inc hired "Bruno" as our new CEO. The middle management are Bunnies from BunnyCorp.

Gary was a shithead who abused his employees but he was a stickler for documentation, standards, and naming conventions. Even though we lost a lot of documentation when BunnyCorp let Strangled Bats' CRM subscription lapse, I was able to save a bunch of PDFs and we actually still have printed copies of a BUNCH of our documents. Strangled Bats LLC was a terrible place to work and was very old-fashioned on some things, but we save our papers.

BunnyCorp Inc has a lot of very friendly bunnies in management who are cuddly and cute and easy to get along with and wouldn't know a configuration manager if it bit them in the ass. BunnyCorp was interested in acquiring and absorbing many companies to become one big company and cared more about purchasing companies (and therefore their client bases) than it cared about integrating those companies into itself OR than it cared about making notes on its customers.

Bruno has a long history of working in MegaBigCo and making things very efficient. When Bruno was hired as CEO, BunnyCorp officers did a great job of putting a good face forward and making it look like they had their shit together. By the time Bruno started, I had been working at BunnyCorp for three months and had mostly been focused on trying to get Strangled Bats' systems to mesh with BunnyCorp.

In January, Bruno had been with the company long enough that he started making changes to make things more efficient, because he'd been there long enough to see that there were some problems. At that point, I had started to notice that it seemed like we were duplicating an awful lot of work that was no longer related to issues with un-meshed systems, because I had meshed a lot of our systems. I got promoted and started training someone to take over the simpler parts of my job and was given the responsibility of looking into a lot of our contracts and agreements.

In March, the shit hit the fan and Bruno and I simultaneously realized that BunnyCorp Inc had been papering over a vast chasm of problems, most of which had to do with:

people with institutional knowledge leaving because they were underpaid

previous owners being shit at documentation

nobody except LITERALLY FUCKING ME knowing what modern server hardware standards and pricing should be

solutions for clients that were built with an eye toward reducing cost in the moment rather than planning for growth or longevity

Bruno has good thoughts about improving stuff, thoughts that I support and think are a great idea and think we should try to implement, but he's also a MegaBigCo kind of guy and likes to let employees grind to prove that they're dedicated and worthy of a promotion/raise - this is a shitty attitude that I think is counterproductive and I think is on the verge of leading our entire senior staff into burnout, but he's not at all wrong about the changes that need to be made. Bruno found out that a bunch of our clients don't have spare server drives onsite and shit a brick because of how badly he wants us to get spare server drive to the client sites; he is willing to eat the cost if it means we can get spares to the clients. That's great, it's not wrong, and there aren't enough hours in the day for me to get that done and also do procurement.

Bruno is only just now seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of how utterly fucked our documentation is; if Bruno is the captain of the ship telling us where to steer, I'm the lookout on deck who sees the icebergs before anybody else.

I have been shouting to the Bunny management about icebergs since December and the ship hasn't changed course; Bruno has directed us to put more coal in the boilers and speed up and to patch up some holes and scrape some barnacles off the hull, but I can't shout loud enough to get the Bunnies to pass on the message about the iceberg, so all I can do is make notes about where the iceberg is an when we hit it provide the notes that I took that the Bunnies ignored so that maybe we can start patching up the breaks before water floods in and kills us all.

Things were great for a while because I was no longer working with an actively abusive shithead. Working with Gary was like sighting icebergs on the deck of a ship that leaked a bit and avoided icebergs deftly, but I was left to freeze on the deck all the time because freezing on the deck was all I was good for. Getting acquired by BunnyCorp was like someone handing me a warm coat and telling me to go inside and have a cup of tea and sit by the fire. But then I realized that the niceness and the okayness with taking time off and the slight raise were very comforting but someone still had to go out on deck and watch for icebergs but now nobody is passing on the message that we need to steer away from the fucking icebergs because if you say there's an iceberg that might make someone feel bad and making people feel bad is counter to the BunnyCorp company culture.

I have a constant drumbeat in my head that says "I can fix this, I can fix this, I can fix this." If I work late and go get the info for all the firewalls that I can access, and share info with the team about the ones I can't access, I can update the documentation and fix this. If I get notes on all the servers, and get spares for every machine, and get the techs scheduled to go out and install, I can fix this. If I can go in to the configurations for all five thousand computers and manually check and archive all the old devices, and manually update a field for every one of the two thousand windows 10 machines, maybe our team of sixteen can replace twelve hundred and upgrade eight hundred computers at our two hundred client sites in the next five months. If only I can go through all of those two thousand configurations and update that field before I get dragged away to another phone call from a client or another meeting about how the next acquisition is going to go, so I better do it now, at eight pm at ten pm at midnight at two am when there's nobody to call and no meetings scheduled. If I could just *lock in* I can save us, I can make sure the clients are getting a good turnaround time on their requests and I can make sure the licenses are all getting renewed because I updated all the configurations and I will update all the configurations going forward and I will document this company at knifepoint and I will hold it together with duct tape and spite and I will make it work i will make it work nobody else is doing anything I have to make it work because that's an iceberg, I know some of them see the iceberg, and they're Bunnies and I'm a Bat, some of them have seen this iceberg long before I could see it but they're not turning but if I yell about it and make notes about it and lock in and document it and skip lunch and skip lunch and skip lunch and skip lunch and skip lunch and take half a break so that I can get another device off the list maybe THEN they'll act like there's an iceberg ahead and they'll turn and I won't have to fly off the deck and go find another ship and I can stay on the boat with my friends and the nice bunnies and it will be okay, it will feel like it did after Gary was gone and I could BREATHE and people said that I was smart and good at my job and I deserved more money and I had been treated badly and there were no icebergs because it was so bright and sunny and nice that the whole sea looked like dazzling snow and seemed soft and safe and like I wouldn't have to keep freezing on the deck to stay alive.

So.

You know.

There have been ups and downs. I'm having some trouble staying motivated and even with some decent management it's difficult to orient the team toward the metrics we need to meet in q3 to stay solvent and keep our forward momentum up.

I'm considering sniping our customers and starting my own business, nobody makes the office admin sign a non-compete.
