Big organizations have all sorts of problems that we employees can't help.
One problem I *can* help? The feud between the sysadmins and the network team.
I wrote the first edition of "Networking for System Administrators" in the hope that we tech flunkies would come together, freeing us to plot against the C-levels.
I'd appreciate your support for the new edition.

~Windows 2 article minor updates~
Windows/286 vs Windows/386 vs Windows 3.0 Real / Standard / Enhanced mode. Do you know which is which? I added a table to the Windows 2 article comparing those, so it'll be easier to find the system you want.
Additionally, I added a section explaining why Windows 2 looks so... Unusual. It's hidden under "Wait, why does it look so ugly?" section, and covers fonts, resolutions, and EGA 3-plane graphics.

Some people have asked that 404 Media moves from a magic link system (to login you are emailed a link to click) to a user/password system. We're four journalists trying to spend as much time as possible doing journalism. We don't want your password https://www.404media.co/we-dont-want-your-password-3/

heres a work related question for you, if you are in a position where you can hire consulting companies to help with security work (red/blue/eng/etc):
would it be handy to be able to buy a single day of effort, 7hrs of effort, 1hr reporting, and get a report worth sharing with either partners, customers, or leadership?
I'm thinking of building out a new offering. A one-day triage/best-effort assessment. internal, external, whatevs - dealers choice.
