  • A hacker group in Seattle (GHI) years ago attempted to build secure systems on top of compromised hardware. Although different levels of security could be achieved, the overall outcome was No. You cannot build a fully secured system on top of compromised hardware.

    A VPS for this exercise counts as ‘compromised’ hardware.



  • I’ve used Lets Encrypt for years and years, in fact it’s been at least 6?. LE with the encryptbot?, automate the entire process, and then completely forget about it until someone posts on Lemmy asking about it.

    It’s been long enough I’ve forgotten the proper names of the software and I would have to go back through my notes to recreate it.

    Just checked the logs and it’s fine.

    Don’t pay for shit.



  • The Navy is completely blameless.

    You don’t put your team in jeopardy FOR ANY GOD DAMNED PERSONAL REASON EVER, let alone an entire fucking ship. Opsec wasn’t just broken, it was beaten, raped, and left for dead.

    Not to even mention that any operation that was counting in this vessel & crew to provide support.

    I’ve spent time in the military, worked for the military, worked with the military, and currently work with law enforcement. What they did is inexcusable. This put hundreds of lives at risk for selfishness. “Lose lips” is now unauthorized civilian satellite communications sinks ships. Not to mention that starlink has a shit bag. Fascist like Elon Musk involved.

    For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost …





  • A long time ago when I handed off my duties when leaving, my replacement (in house) was absolutely astonished at how little I was doing. I had taken the global fleet of bar/retail/hotel/restaurant/office printers (minus properties in China) from around 30% of total being OOS to less than 3% in 18 months. Everything from giant plotters to the fry cooks’ line printers.

    What my replacement didn’t see was the 3 months I spent not sleeping. Worth every second.

    Automate the living fuck out of everything (that’s ok to automate) & read reports / logs.

    I think without the literal centuries of religious oppression a lot of these problems wouldn’t exist in the 1st place.

    Imagine a world where clothing is optional, where a man could kiss another man without any fear, where we weren’t scolded CONSTANTLY for natural feelings, natural habits, natural desires …

    Sure predation would still exist, after all we’re just animals, but I don’t believe that we would have the problems at the same magnitudes that we do today.
