I like the idea of finding positive things to reflect on. My journaling tends to be a way of venting frustrations or working through difficult emotions. It’s a great tool for that but I think focusing on positives is something I need to do more.
I have to appreciate the fact that my country (US) squandered years of opportunity to repair relations with Cuba and turn them into an ally, all for the sake of a ridiculous cold war era grudge.
Art of the deal.
The look on the attendants face when I keep showing up to the scrap yard with pieces of what is clearly a small jet.
To a point. I completely revamped the off site backups when I ditched Veeam. Four (out of probably ten) VM’s were able to be backed up off-site successfully in PBS. I think I restored two of those because they were newer than what I had locally. The rest never made it off-site, probably due to the local PBS VM choking on disk write conflicts.
I was looking for something on Academy Sports’ website a while back. They replaced their catalog search with an AI chat which really sucks at searching for products.
I gave up and bought what I needed from a different store.
But did they finally let Charlie off?
Congratulations! You’ve given birth to a beautiful baby [object Object].
If you asked the president of the United States to point to Denmark on a map, you would be lucky if he hit the correct continent so… I’m going with “plausible.”
Second Protectli. They are solid little x86 boxes with no moving parts.
I saw a job posting the other day that had a hard requirement of 7+ years of experience with a specific IDE. It was phrased as an absolute must have.
That’s how you know an organization is totally clueless. TBF, not all IDE’s are created equal but it would be kind of like a construction foreman refusing to hire a anyone who didn’t have 7+ years of experience with DeWalt power tools.
“Mooommm! He hit me back!”
Is the server exposed to the WAN? If so, what ports are forwarded to it? Do you know where these requests are coming from?
Next week, we will spend 3 days trying to get the product team to pick out a dress only for them to insist that the one that is way too small “will fit” and that the dev can just “alter it real quick and it will be fine.” Even despite loud protests from the dev team that they cannot alter it and it will not be fine.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t fine.
From now on, I will [continue to] not use ChatGPT.
“LLMs are fantastic for security and have a great opportunity to actually make a dent in the coming wave of software vulnerabilities,” he said
Hmmm… and what could possibly be the root cause of this “coming wave of software vulnerabilities?”
I don’t have any money but I still do it.
Long time ago I had the benefit of spending a couple years in banking. Bankers have a very different attitude about money than most people since for a bank, money is the “product.”
The most valuable thing I learned from that experience was that in order to be in control of my finances, I had to have a clear understanding of what my money is “doing.” Just being able to get that insight has been enough to keep me relatively on top of my book keeping.
A US security guarantee isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
