I would say that security ops (SOC and Vuln mgmt in particular) at a small/medium sized company has to be kind of awful all the time. There is never enough time, funding, or management support to make meaningful change. This is further

I don’t understand what the end goal of the governments are supposed to be by “dehumanizing” and “terrifying” the populace. When I ask this question I get the absolutely useless response of “control”. What kind of control? How? We have laws

Significantly reducing my risk of dying intubated and in agony is a fairly compelling vaccine use case for me.

Bogons are popular with email spammers because the IPs don’t appear on various anti-spam lists. My company monitors for bogon space activity on our platform and it isn’t particularly interesting.

I bought a Catalyst license for Obsidian a while ago because I like to toss money at neat projects (especially when they are NOT subscription based). I expected it to get to a decent state and then slowly get abandoned, but I am very happy

Interesting, I was not aware of that. I have noticed that drinking mushroom tea as opposed to eating dried mushrooms does have a quicker onset, so that makes sense to me. (Sadly, it is also consistent in making me vomit.)

I wonder if the economics will align to make this attractive to bar owners. When I go to the bar I will usually spend around $50-100 on drinks depending if I am drinking cocktails or wine. Given that THC seems to be hard to precisely dose,

I use layers for a more comfortable layout of various brackets, IP address elements, coding symbols and snippets, and keyboard automations (essentially macros). I use several different machines regularly (mix of Windows, MacOS, and Linux) a

I use the encoder knob on my macropad for gimicy undo/redo. Left undoes, right redoes. I’ve also used it for volume, page up/down, and zoom.

Silent MX Blacks are uncomfortably quiet when you type on them. I find the Zilent 67g to be my favorite switch. It hits all the right check boxes for sound and comfort.

The MX Clear was the first switch I used that made me feel like I understood Mech keyboards. It eventually lead me to my current favorite switch the Zilent 67g.

For DNS, I am not sure. If you are talking about strange IP formats, not really. The best I’ve been able to do is some playing with the IPv6.IPv4 formatting.

Not sure if this is still a feature of the Slack API, but in an older version you could set your name and avatar when sending a message. I trolled our internal GitHub for exposed tokens then wrote a simple bot that used the token from some

My home ISP gives me an IPv6 address as well. Much of the internal infra that I use at work has AAAA records in our local DNS. I feel comfortable saying IPv6 is here.

This is great advice. I am an amateur in a lot of different arts (music, painting, writing being the main focus). I have friends who are professionals in these areas and each of them of them has a day job they don’t care for to support thei

I had this realization after my second attempt at implementing Zettelkasten. Most of my job is managing people. I take notes and to-dos, but nothing on the scale that ZK facilitates. Even when I do IC work, I rarely take in depth structured

I heavily use QMK to change how my keyboards work. I keep most of the normal upper and lower layers, but I also have a layer with a numpad and macros (such as a key that inputs my email). It is still a bit of a learning curve, and I find my

I agree. Many of my favorite 40k (and Horus Heresy) books are Dan Abnett. I feel like Aaron Dembski-Bowden is his spiritual successor. Different style, but ADB captures the same grim-darkness vibe that Dan does.

I have been an avid Warhammer 40k fan for about 15 years. I was initially lured in by Dawn of War (PC Game) and the incredibly detailed lore. Having read an embarrassing amount of Warhammer books, I can say there are some real SciFi gems, a

I concur with the last two points as well. It is a bit annoying, but I recommend getting 3 or 4 of a single switch to put in a tester to mimic "real typing". I am a strongly believer of smaller is better, my daily driver is a 48 k
