Oh thanks, saved. Will break this image out next time it happens, though I usually end up dying from getting into desperate situations looking for antifungals before it gets to this point.

As somone in IT who has to deal with executives I can assure you that high compensation has no correlation with good security practices :(

knock 3 times

oh boy, the knock 3 times rule, that brings back some memories. I spent a miserable 6 months as a Mormon missionary and my first companion would always knock 3 times. I always felt it was rude, especially when he would do it at a house where we knew someone was home and just not answering the door.

Well I know what I’m making for lunch now.

I bought an OnlyKey a few months ago and love it.

Hey, I have a career question this week! I’ve been a sysadmin for the last 1.5 years (It’s a small shop so everything security related is currently my responsibility). I’ll soon be graduating with a BS in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance. I’m SSCP, CySA+, and PenTest+ certified. I want to end up in a penetration testing role. Once I graduate, should I start looking for pen testing gigs immediately or do you think I ought to get some experience directly in the security industry first? Would getting OSCP help my chances of moving directly to pen testing?

No kidding. I bought one on clearance from Walmart for 5$ and it was great for about a week, adequate for another month or two, and then became unusably bad after just under 6 months. Just buy a real non-stick pan, even cheap ones will last longer than the copper ones.

Neat

I was thinking of how to use Sheets as a storage device. Reminded me of this video.

Lots of searching

Updated some diagrams at work today using the newish D2 language. I’ve dabbled before with tools like D2 that generate diagrams from “code”, like plantUML but D2 was really easy and made some great looking images.

Definitely looks more professional than the ASCII art diagrams they replaced, though I do find the ASCII ones charming.

Durability is a big concern for me as well. I bought a Pixel 2 at launch and had it until June of this year, almost 6 years. It was still in decent shape, but the battery had become unreliable and the cost of paying someone to replace it and fix the cracked screen was almost as much as a new in box Pixel 5. Hopefully my Pixel 5 will also last me a similarly long time.

What kind of problems have you had with your 6?
