Blaming Putin or the war lands you straight in prison or a labor camp, of course people don’t blame him.

OneDrive is available on MacOS and it’s a piece of shit

that’s not how tariffs work, though. American companies that would like to import a tariffed commodity would have to pay the tariff to the IRS (or some other governmental body).

So instead of making trade expensive for the „nice European little countries“ it will likely get more expensive for the „nice American little people“.

As somebody with a degree in bioinformatics, I have never seen something more true in my whole life.

Some more lies from my time in academia:

• “Planning and executing medical trials” = 6 months of statistics
• “Machine Learning” = 6 months of statistics
• “Pattern Recognition” = 6 months of statistics
• “Health Data Science” = 6 months of statistics
• Biostatistics = lol jk just 6 months of statistics

Having some financial trouble and I’m unsure if the money will run out before the next paycheck.

It’s the Data Science craze all over again. Hope we’re done with this soon.

Same. I use it on desktop too

I said it before and I’ll say it again: we need to work harder so that this asshole can buy his 2nd yacht. Have some compassion.

Hard drives (SSDs, etc) are not the only durable storage that can be written to

Yes, I have been eyeing a soft switch into cybersecurity. Maybe not head-over-heels and maybe not entirely, but I do plan to have a significant part of my work to be in infosec.

For context, I am currently working as Tech Lead/Software Architect for a company that has a security-focused product (with an, as of today, 0 incident track record), but I work on design and scalability most days. When involved in security-related tasks, I mostly coordinate and sometimes implement security critical code under the guidance of our (small) security team.

I do have enough insight to have a positive impact on security related discussions on higher levels (think “lol, this proposed change opens up the endpoint to being exploited by x or y”) but not enough to discuss our cryptographic primitives.

In order to get my feet wet, I started doing THM (quite actively, yet I’ve hit a rut with the Windows-focused buffer overflow rooms), and I can say I enjoy it more than I expected.

However, I am unsure what concrete steps I should take after THM.

I’ve been thinking of working towards the OSCP exam, but honestly the certification landscape is quite confusing.

Done

I moonlight in a bike shop and mainly repair electric scooters and bikes.

Instead of adding even more shit that can break, I wish they would engineer their scooters into being more reliable.

In addition to breaking often, finding spare parts is a nightmare. Vendors completely ignoring requests.

Granted, Segway is one of the better ones.

Or how to fix your printer.

I am a happy backblaze user and generally I’ve only heard good things about them.

They do have multiple data centers and they are operating B2B products too.

Is there anything in particular that would make you think they could be unreliable?

Still doing lessons and challenges on THM, 2 months in.

So are cyber-attacks during an active war, against supporters of Ukraine, not considered acts of war? Not to mention the recent killing of military personnel on German soil? That too, not an act of war?

It seems every time someone wants anything from the EU, they have to pay Orban. He’s a petty extortionist.
