Bundesliga (1st league) is civilized in Germany.But in the regional leagues, as the quality of the football goes down, so does the quality of the fans.
Getting onto a train in Stuttgart, Southern Germany.A strong smell of beer and cigarettes hits me.Everyone in the train carriage in front of me wears blue and white football jerseys.And everyone behind me wears white and red.
And they've already started singing songs at each other.
This is nothing. Completely irrelevant. He was 25 at the time, barely an adult.I'm 70 and I still whip out my dick in public regularly.That doesn't detract in any way from my authority as chancellor of Germany.
Everyone gets yearly mandatory training. And every time you open Outlook, you get a reminder to stay vigilant, with a fun cartoon from the graphics department that changes daily to keep peoples' attention.
Last year someone in the upper half of the food chain fell for a phishing mail. We nuked his account and recreated it with "p.lastname" instead of the usual scheme "peter.lastname" .He had to inform all his contacts about his new e-mail address, and his coworkers called him pee-dot behind his back for a while.After that, people got a lot more careful, it was better than any training.
But somehow, it's usually upper management that'll call the IT lead and demand to unblock a website RIGHT NOW because they need it, and when you check it out, it's a phishing link.
Our Head of Accounting got an e-mail to his private mail address with just a link to a Word document on some random OneDrive.It contained an invoice over $4000 for "AI services", payable via money transfer.
He sent it to the accounting department and told them to pay it.Luckily, one of the accountants actually had a brain, and she forwarded it to IT.
It'll use AI and even if you have your passport and birth certificate on you, proving they're wrong, you'll be in El Salvador before you can plead your case.
This makes me so happy about my employer. I'm sysadmin for a newspaper.We had an all-company test run 2 weeks ago to answer the question "What if we're hacked?"
Turns out we're able to produce a printed and online newspaper within a work day if NONE of our normal IT systems (hardware, software, e-mail, network) are accessible.Everything we need has a redundancy that's kept completely physically separated from the network until the day it's needed.
It took me 10 years to finish my BSc in Ecology because my ADHD hadn't been diagnosed and I procrastinated by fucking around with Linux.So I didn't get hired in my field, and a friend of mine got me a support job at a software startup that didn't find qualified people cause they paid like shit.When it predictably went under, I had 4 years of experience and got a job as IT sysadmin in an MSP. 3 more years later I switched to the internal IT department of a newspaper, where I work now.At the last switch, I had the choice between 6 employers who offered me a job and chose the one with a union, a workers council, a regular 35 hour work week, and 42 days of PTO per year.
Then do make sure:
Voila, problem solved.
