fighting the lack of good ideas
This was asked recently on Server Fault. I’m asking if there’s a way to prevent files from being encrypted. I’m referring to some extent to ransomware, but specifically I want the following scenario: Windows File server w/ shares (on the E: drive) I want a way to tell the above server “don’t allow files on…

My colleague Sheila wrote a great, short piece on LinkedIn about ads recently. And this is what I commented: I held off for years in installing ad blockers/reducers.
