- Comment on How to separate self-worth from Achievements and External Validation? 1 day ago:
In the example, you’re comparing yourself to others, by matter of outcome. And getting upset in the process.
Instead let’s say you stick to the process. You investigate why you failed. Parallel parking? Okay, fuck that. I’m gonna parallel park my mom’s van 10x a day when I get home from school and not fuck that up next time.
Now you’ve learned to humbly overcome failure rather than get emotional about comparing your outcome to that of others.

I mean the need becomes immediately necessary if you’ve ever accomplished anything.
Holy shit I sound like an asshole.
Okay, what I mean is, everyone you look up to is just as empty as you. Well, maybe. Sort of.
The only people who feel sated by an achievement end up has-beens. That never were. And in this esoteric sense, even those that “are”, arent.
All that mumbo jumbo, I mean, no one is their achievements. And if they are, they’re hollow.
Okay, so I’m coming off anesthesia and sounding like a guy at burning man. But I’m serious. The bottom line is this
Your self worth is defined by the process. Not the outcome. And if the process is at a halt due to an outcome, just trust the process. Try again.
The trying again will give you self worth. Not the outcome.
- Comment on A Beginners Guide To Selfhosting Part 1 1 day ago:
For getting your stuff available over the internet, y I recommend a secure tunnel with wire guard between your vps and servers running the services.
Make your vps an authentication portal using stuff like Authelia and Fail2ban.
If you’re really needing out, get ELK stood up for free and get agents on your containers/services to keep visibility into any potential… Anything

As a security engineer, I implore anyone to have an LLM walk you through standing up an SIEM.
Like don’t get me wrong. They’re phenomenal. But they just aren’t capable of complex tasks yet.

I am forever annoyed that every language has the audacity to rename other countries to something that is not their name.
Germany? It’s called Deutschland
Spain? España.
Russia? Rossiya.
It’s everywhere and it’s weird.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 4 days ago:
I finally got my home services covered with my website’s wildcard ssl. Which is great, because now I can setup ELK Stack and setup an auth portal on my vps, and get Plex and gitlab out of the house securely.
- Comment on What are the demands of the No Kings protests? What's the plan if they win? 5 days ago:
I don’t speak for anyone but myself.
My demands are accountability first and foremost. Anyone who has played any part in enabling trump must face consequences. They need to be severe, if it happens again.
Every ICE agent, every GOP house and Senate member, all the cabinet, etc. I am not okay with playing politics over this. It’s black and white. You followed orders that enabled treason, you are treasonous. The least guilty among them should have a minimum of 5 years to serve.
Beyond that it’s a tax strategy that completely disables the possibility of any person having 100,000,000x the wealth of another person in the country. Like if you have $100M, literally all of the rest of your money can go to those worth less than $1.
Idk how bout some real antitrust?
Oh I know, no owning more than 1 parcel of land per county per person.
No corporate ownership of land.
C suite liability for corporate personhood or eliminate it.
Universal healthcare
Laws against predatory loan practices.
I’d say that’s about the bare minimum.

The nobel comittee literally did they frown upon people campaigning for it. And they talk about such actions when considering it. So there’s that.
And not to be weird but they kinda learned their lesson giving Obama one without just cause. Kinda fueled this fire a bit.
I’ll be astounded if he gets an award from the nobel comittee.

Show it.
Take for example the case where person A has blocked person B.
Person C comments. Person B responds.
New thread, same post, person C comments about how some people think like person B, and quote them.
As is the current case, person A can see this quoted material. It’s just text. It’s not in any programmatic way tied to the person B account.
We don’t need to change this just because it’s a child comment of person B.

Out of the box LLMs are trash, but you can use their APIs to great efficacy on large amounts of data to find needles in haystacks. Complex needles, not just strings of text like any sophisticated search.
You’re right that anything it finds needs to be gone over by a human, but it HUGELY reduces problem sizes when used intelligently.
- Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 1 week ago:
Yeah the product was fine, it just didn’t do well. The windows phones, however… 😬
- Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 1 week ago:
This is a very complicated question. Many Microsoft employees would have a very heated debate over the answer to this question. It was the cause of a ton of internal conflict. Many Windows developers saw the Xbox ecosystem as a cannibalization of their existing product.
The move was political. Microsoft wanted to get some of that PlayStation money. They were afraid of losing the living room to Sony. Sony had TVs, VCRs, DVD players, and now this other thing, PlayStation, that also plugged into the TV, that all the kids were essentially demanding have equal place among the DVD player.
Microsoft already had PCs in homes. Well, operating systems. And many developers would have agreed it makes more sense to blow open the emerging market they were already champions of/adjacent to.
But it paid off. They were able to secure a fight over the living room rather than allow a competitor to take it on wholly. Pivoting to PC gaming would t have solved this threat.

- Comment on Could a minority in US Senate essentially disolve the federal state? 2 weeks ago:
They operate under the exact same roof. Usually labeled as two separate addresses for tax purposes. It is exactly true.
- Comment on Could a minority in US Senate essentially disolve the federal state? 2 weeks ago:
Just for context, almost every federal court is a branch of a state court. State courts are still functioning. This is how a lot (not all) of the govt is.
So yeah lots of workers furloughed but barely a single building unoccupied due to the shutdown.
This is equally true of cybersecurity. For example, a non federal sysadmin may have privs to install, remove, maintain security software. That software is a private company and 24/7 SOC.
Source: im a apart of your 24/7 SOC with lots of govt clients, many clients with both federal and state workers, etc.
