It entirely depends what you're trying to do. If you want to make a bunch of money, it's unfortunately more about politics and luck than merit. If you're trying to maximize income, you should focus on understanding finance&#

I suppose it depends on what type of grandma you have :) Maybe with training, your grandma could enjoy plinking targets and also be safer in her home? There are grandmas that love hunting and spending time at the range. It'd be nice to

Some TPM chips are vulnerable to key dumping: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2019/11/tpm-fail_atta... TPM dies if your motherboard dies, so you'd need a backup key anyway. There's also

You can use a yubikey to do it. It can work in challenge/response mode, so the yubikey is required to unlock the device. That's good for laptops. You can also use a private gpg key and an gpg-encrypted keyfile. Yubikey can stor

Ah, you're right. We need to make sending out random bits a felony, that way if we see anyone doing it, we know they're a criminal. Good catch.

Neat, but why? Is it just the novelty that it can be done? I thought it was poor form to have a lot of code in headers. This seems like it'd be better served as a small C http library.

My unsolicited advice: Don't worry too much about specific languages. The most valuable thing you can do is get a strong command of *nix and solve a lot of real-world problems with it. Make it your desktop OS and spend a lot of time
