Als jemand der jahrelang über einer Familie mit 2 Kettenrauchern gewohnt hat, und dessen Balkon bzw. alle Fenster auf der selben Seite wie der Balkon unbenutzbar waren: bitte, bitte strengere Maßnahmen gegen Raucher.

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

I am outraged, a plea deal to avoid life imprisonment? What the fuck did I just read?!

This guy trafficked, raped and tortured her, and other underage women. Police did jack shit. And she was supposed to be watching him just walk away? Grotesque.

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.

Oh no, prices fell from 600k to 588k, disaster is looming.

People currently can’t afford food, bro.

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.

Administrative access, in many cases, allows malicious apps to read and/or modify data, even memory and executables, of other apps. This is pretty much impossible with non-rooted phones out of the box. While the root detection feature is somewhat annoying, it is absolutely not a stupid measure.

Lieber Verfassungsschutz: die AfD arbeitet mit einem Regime zusammen welches es sich als explizites geopolitisches Ziel gesetzt hat, Europa zu destabilisieren.

Wann wird die AfD endlich verboten und wann werden die Kollaborateure verhaftet?

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?

Long time vim user here. Practically had to choose right after starting as a dev, never looked back. All my editors/IDEs run in vim mode nowadays.

I don’t like the hassle of plugin management in vanilla vim.

I didn’t like evil spacemacs, but I do enjoy magit a lot.

Then tried neovim: good out-of-the-box experience, better plugin management, ready-to-use systems like nvchad. It’s been great.

Just started a course on THM in my free time. Wish me luck.

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

Not only is the fine ridiculously low, they will also most likely not get other fines for the spills because they „have been punished already“.

However, it seems that prosecutors need to grab what they can. I imagine an appropriately large fine would take years or decades of litigation when Chevron invariably sues, appeals, etc

I’ve been a happy (on and off) boosteroid user for 3 years now. It works great, has a good catalog of available games and the price is reasonable.

Greed. The answer is greed.

My PC was so slow that I was playing FF8 at a ridiculously low resolution and was still only getting 10fps.

Didn’t stop me from playing all day every day.

For many people having an additional $9000 would be a life-changing amount of money. So „for the most part it was worth it“ is a weird flex in the current economic situation.

I just started baking bread, with the goal of making healthy sourdough bread, pizza, and other baked goods.

Epstein didn’t kill himself

Just in case nobody noticed: Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Sorry, but wtf was as innovative as to warrant a GOTY in Starfield?

EDIT: no a hater, 90hrs played, overall would not recommend and genuinely don’t see what was innovative.

I have been thinking about trying Deep Rock Galactic for a long time now. Maybe now is the time?

The point of my comment was not really that there are no cheaper options. The point is that I should be, by most measures, firmly middle class and should be able to afford to buy a house around the place where I work. It’s not Munich or Hamburg, and I was not looking for something close to the city center. I was just looking for a decent house for my family.

I fixed a typo in the title:

How Inflation Putin stole Christmas across Europe.

Seems like Putin will get all 132% of the votes this time, since he will be the only one on the ballots.

I see so many negative comments here. Have some compassion. How is he going to afford to pay for his 2nd yacht if his workers are not doing overtime?
