Friendly way to remember if it's a disorder.

Does it.... Disrupt the order of your life? Or are you getting through it?

Like, oh you say you've got OCD, cause you have to wash your hands all the time? So... Has it made you late for work? Do you set your alarm early so you're not late for work?

Stuff like that raises a big red flag for a disorder.

This isn't diagnostic, but it's an easy way to break like 95% of inaccurate self diagnoses.

And ~100% of cybersecurity pros work ad hoc 100% of the time...

They probably put in 2-10 hours of actual work in a given week. Just like any desk job that doesn't sit on zoom calls all day.

Edit: 100% of people downvoting this should first Google "ad hoc." Or are just envious that I have a cybersec job making good money doing nothing all day. Sucks to suck. 🤷‍♂️

Kinda how ~100% of IT salaried positions work. If you're confused, you're probably hourly.

No, SOAR tools make life pretty easy. 5 person SOC team + boss, 700 person org. Not overstaffed.

I get a few alerts every few hours. Investigate, determine if false positive, and go back to gaming. Unless it's the off chance it's not a false positive. Then I do an hour of work or so. Then back to gaming.

How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?

I've been looking for a new job as a software developer. The huge majority of job listings I see in my area are hybrid or remote. I just had an introductory phone call with Vizio (which didn't specify the location type in the job listing). The recruiter told me that the job was fully on-site, which I told her was a deal breaker...

My ask is 4x salary for in office.

It's usually met with "Well, that's not going to happen.."

To which I reply "I know, right?"

foggy , (edited )

No, I mean "my ask."

Not jargon. Recognized by the Oxford advanced learner's dictionary. Perhaps your understanding of English is not "advanced".

It is what I am asking. It is my ask.

What an absurdly pointless hair to attempt to split. It'd be one thing if you were being inquisitive, but you're out here just confidently incorrecting people lmao.

Stay in school, kiddo.

foggy ,

I fucking hate them.

They're designed for people who are about 5'0". They take so much longer than speaking the order to a person, especially if you have any customizations to add/remove.

0/10, avoid at all costs.

foggy ,

Yes, absolutely.

Depends on your profession, but yes.

That surely won't result in an alarming use rate of words like n****r and f****t. Hell, that's the window of the hit YouTube video entitled "N****rF****t" starring... A member of the defuct comedy group (Derrick Comedy) that made the film, Donald Glover.

Bizarre how fast the changes we've seen have happened. The video was purposefully 'edgy,' but still.

Lmao. Students. Nice. That'll earn you support.

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware ( www.tomshardware.com )

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

Presumably any model using the same motherboard/chip set, running that OS, I would think. Not my area of expertise.

foggy ,

It's like everyone is putting on their evil pants, getting ready to rewrite history after WWIII

foggy ,

It's already underway.

China will attack Taiwan before Christmas. That'll likely be the flashpoint. That's been my two cents for over a year now.

North/South Korea going at it.

North Korea supplying Russia arms to fight Ukraine.

US okaying more and more, blurring NATO lines. NATO is basically involved in the Russia Ukraine war.

China and India appear to be buying Russia oil/gas still, keeping their war machine afloat. Amongst other financial vestments.

Then we have Israel pummeling Palestine. Iran attacking Israel. NATO countries don't agree about whether or not this is a genocide.

When China invades Taiwan, TSMC will shut down their facilities. The US has been pouring billions into semiconductor manufacturing on US soil, because when China invades Taiwan and tscm shuts down, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Nvidia, AMD, Intel, IBM, Meta, Amazon, and many more will be in hot water. Because of this, the US has an insane naval presence and alliance with Japan to protect the South China seas.

This is world war three. It's happening now.

foggy ,

Because thats what he said.

foggy ,

I didnt downvote ya there.

That was a quick Google result it might not be in that article. I just chose it because AP. There's dozens of articles about conversations between Xi and Biden.

The discourse is generally "By 2025" "in 2027" and "before 2030". Given the discourse and tension in the South China Sea, it looks very much like a "By 2025" situation. Just my bet. Ties into computational supremacy, embargos, TSMC, Taiwan reunification, and more.

I ask if they've heard of mastodon because most people with any ties to the internet have. Then I say there's a new wave of platforms that are all federated, kinda like how like someone could send an email from a user @aol.clm to a user @msn.com or whatever, which means there's no real way to centralize the platforms.

Who would win: every human in the world vs. every animal in the world?

I'm thinking the animals would easily defeat us, since trying to get all 8 billion+ humans to agree on a plan of attack would be a near-impossible task. By the time we'd be done trying to coordinate a plan, I figure the lions and cheetahs would have already devoured us, not to mention the larger animals like the elephants....

Looks like they're banning unmoderated subs and it looks like they're being unbanned with moderators responding. Looks like response time is 2 weeks.

I mean reddit sucks but this is a nothing burger of a story.

Missing mother found dead inside 16-foot-long python after it swallowed her whole in Indonesia ( www.cbsnews.com )

A woman has been found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole in central Indonesia, a local official said Saturday, marking at least the fifth person to be devoured by a python in the country since 2017....

foggy ,

There would be a solid minute where you'd be fully aware that you have been consumed by a giant snake.

:) it me

I'm 36. It happens bit by fucking bit. My studio right now:

Scarlet 18i8

Scarlet 4i4

Krk Rokit5, x9 (5 on 18i8, 4 on 4i4).

Shure sm7b x2, Sm57 x4, sm58 x4

9 guitars. 2 basses. A ukulele. Banjo.

And orange 2x12, a marshall 4x12

Kemper, fractal fx II

Like 20 pedals.

MIDI switches/pedals/controllers

MIDI pianos (weighted keys digital frand piano).

Don't get me started on my home server, and VST collection (served to Windows, Apple and Linux clients on the network). Ugh that setup was a nightmare. Reaper rules.

foggy ,

I use Reaper.

I definitely don't think it's the case, but damn, can you imagine if they were doing this to themselves to drive donations? That would be diabolical.

The the DNA brick wall we've been climbing is exactly that.

You've reminded me of some of my favorite hip hop lyrics of all time. If you never heard Eyedea before he died (27 club, I think?), Eyedea had Eminem level potential. Fucking incredible lyricist. If this tickles your fancy, go peep the album First Born.

Eyedea & Abilities - Man vs Ape

Move!

There's no telling what I'ma do

I'm eighty-thousand years of natural selection comin through

You ain't got as much aggression, possessions, weapons

I'll be damned if I get outdone by the next man

If you're beliefs are different than mine, then we gonna fight

Who needs peace when you can profit from being right?

I hold picket signs outside abortion clinic doors

Take what I want with force

And my God could kill yours

.

Involved with a species evolving so slowly

Genetically infantile, violent and holy

We think we're so smart but there's not much to know

Caveman is still alive behind those robot eyes

Fully controlled by ten thousand year old instincts

Hands on the war button, flinch and your world's extinct

This is technology for the barbarian

I see the future: the past, we'll be there again

.

Remember, the atom bomb came from the same place as poetry

.

Die dirty hippy commie scum, Christian, Muslim Buddhist, Jew

Democrat, factory-workin, college student you...

My nervous system don't take no bullshit

Been dominating since the day I touched the monolith

I only breed with sex-symbol worthy women

They stay at home and cook while I go out a make a living

Don't challenge my ego, don't step on my shoe

Otherwise the next wake that you attend might be for you

.

Grindin' my teeth as I'm battling uphill

The fight against ape-hood is fate versus free will

We think we're advanced but there's nowhere to go

Mammals stay captive to animal actions

So slowly we climb up this DNA brick wall

Addicted to emptiness, anger and pitfalls

Desire for space, territory, or lust

We'll eventually turn this whole planet to dust

.

There can be no peace when man is still a part of it

.

Purpose, perseverance, wordless amoeba surface

To lead the first coherent paleolithic circus

Specific neuro-circuits link man and Neanderthal

However, recent bio-chemical imprints

conflict with primitive urges

It's full blown ontological warfare

Murdering memories in the future two million years

Peace is a word we often say,

But it can't exist as long as the ape is here to stay

foggy , (edited )

I recommend the album, Eyedea & Abilities - first born

The dive part 1 and 2 will blow your mind. And the song Read Wiped and Blue has some lyrics that are relevant today:

Another of his, A Murder of Memories, about war/PTSD.

What song should I play for my bathroom neighbors?

The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don't want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?

foggy ,

Gonna counter with Bloodbath - way more discernable vocals.

foggy ,

Yes. Just tell millions upon millions of suffering people they can't cross the invisible line to find refuge.

Genius strategy.

foggy ,

Bro China must be so stoked about Copilot+AI recall.

That's a CCP wet dream.

It's a big year in robotics, so, the former.

They're gonna realize the two jobs it can actually replace is HR and the C suite.

Yeah, the kinda shit clickfarms would post to Facebook to get the boomers talking. This is like modern chainmail. Send this to 5 people or you'll be cursed!

foggy ,

For emergency purposes, no.

Just about, though.

To reiterate: We don't judge a people by their nation state. That's how atrocities get normalized.

foggy ,

No I'm not. You're putting so, so many inaccurate words in my mouth. That's why I simply repeat myself so you can continue to play crazy person.

We don't judge the Russian people for Putin's actions.

We don't judge Germans for Hitler's actions.

People are people. Countries are countries.

To reiterate: We don't judge a people by their nation state. That's how atrocities get normalized.

foggy ,

Oh okay let's just nuke em all then good plan

foggy ,

Oh, 100% of them did?

foggy ,

Voted for?

Your words not mine.

foggy ,

So then you are agreeing with my heavily downvoted opinion.

We don't judge a people by their nation state. That's how atrocities get normalized.

foggy ,

Why would you think I am a Zionist? jfc. You people are braindead.

You don't judge people based on where they're fucking born.

Do you know what "nation state" means? Apparently not.

foggy ,

Yo don't judge people based on where they're born, jfc.

foggy ,

I downvoted you because it's an asinine question.
