My name is Ed Bass. I'm the "Joe Normal" Ed Bass, because there's a philanthropic billionaire, movie director and musician with the same name. Google my name and you'll find all sorts of info about them. Me? I'm a computer engineer currently in the futures industry with very liberal social and political views. Let's see what I find interesting to post here......and if anyone actually reads it.

Valerie Plame Wilson's GoFundMe to Buy Twitter and Ban Donald Trump's Account
Of course this is a completely unrealistic concept....or is it? Even if she can't raise enough to buy Twitter and bad Donald Trump's account, the money raised will go to a good cause - Global Zero. Besides, contributing will make you feel GOOD while making a statement AND helping a good cause.

Enable and Set as Default TLS 1.2 on Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2
I had to ensure that TLS 1.2 is being used on a Windows 2008 R2 server, and was using a Windows 7 workstation to test it. Just some quick notes on the whole process.
I had to update Windows 2008 R2 to Service Pack 1 as the first step. Windows 7 must be on SP1 as well.
Microsoft KB 3080079 adds support for TLS 1.1 and 1.2 for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 2008 R2 SP1 but DOES NOT force use of it (see later steps):
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3080079
Apply KB3140245 to Windows 2008 R2 SP1 server and to Windows 7 SP1. This KB gives the ability to set TLS 1.2 as the default protocol. The article also explains how to set it as default on both Win 7 and Win 2008 R2:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3140245/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-a-default-secure-protocols-in
Enable TLS 1.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Win 7 SP1 after the above KBs are installed. The article applies to Windows 7 SP1 also, though it doesn’t state that:

Windows 7 and Win2008R2 TLS/SSL settings reference. More info than you need to simply enable TLS 1.2, but might be useful:
