  1-5Tb isn’t that much info. I would store it on several different hard drives and have them kept in storage at law firms or bank deposit boxes. Maybe compress and encrypt it into a torrent so it gets preserved on some seed boxes.

  Seriously, I had no idea that he’s got his claws in everything. I guess I should have, he’s a billionaire and all.

  Diversity is the key to a profitable portfolio. But remember these lists are cherry picking successfully investments and purchases.

  Na, they will increase the licences by another 10-15%% to cover the losses

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I post comments like AAA studios release games, I decide they are done when they are full of errors and missing key aspects that make the whole thing make sense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Promise everything, deliver just short of something, then charge people for the rest of the comment in DLC style payments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you keep track of vulnerabilities?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does badly count as a way?

  I kinda keep an eye on that self hosted .sh post that does a weekly roundup of stuff to know when I need to do patching.

  No doubt there is a container I could run that would do it for me. I just can’t remember the name of it.

  Everyone online is a bot except for you.

  Pick one, then use the Crosspost feature to link them all together.

  *nix for sure. No way MS will develop a quantum OS before a *nix variant is out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you seen the shit they have to deal with to get qualified?

  Imagine you got your driver’s licence only yo then have to get a sub license to drive a Holden Astra, but your partner to has a sub license for a Holden Commodore. You can’t drive each others car.

  That is what pilots are like in some spots. Just because you can fly a Boeing 777 doesn’t mean you can also fly a 787 or 747

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why some people go full grey hair in their 30s?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  for IT imagine being hired as a subject matter expert but every piece of advice you give is ignored. Until something goes catastrophically wrong, now you are pulled into 3 different incident response meeting being blamed for it happening despite you raising the alarm for the past 6-12 months(but you can’t say that because it is non constructive and finger pointing), asking what is happening, when will it be fixed, and how to prevent it from happening again.
  But here is the kicker, the incident started an hour ago and you have been in the meeting for the past 30 min with everyone pointing fingers at you and expecting answers from you but you haven’t even started proper troubleshooting because you were pulled into the meeting.

  Then you ask for a budget to make the systems perform better. You spend 3 months gathering quotes, haggling prices, demoing products but when you lay out your proposal you get ‘That is too expensive or everything is running fine we don’t need that.’ Then next week the sales team say we will start using X software with a cost of 3x what you found and lacks features you must have to maintain your cybersecurity insurance and it gets approved.

  This is not just one bad employer, that is across the world. Subject matter experts thought as cost centres and escape goats.

  Bad IT couture is like a horse. High risk, low reward and heart attack prone. No wonder we grey in our 30s.

  Ok, this turned into more of an IT rant then I expected.

  I don’t know what double jeopardy is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s not like the charges are dropped if jury nullification takes place.

  Both sides can appeal the decision and when it gets to an appeals judge they will likely look at the case and say ‘yea, this should be tried again’

  The same supplies of the current communications. Eriksson, Nokia, Samsung.

  Look no further then central American drug cartels who built their own mobile network to avoid lawful interception.

  “We’re always looking for ways to improve our customer service experience. This support offering was intended to provide more digital options with the goal of reducing time to resolve inquiries.”

  Yes, that makes sense. Let’s improve resolution times by making customers wait 15 minutes before being added to the queue to talk to a representative.

  We’ve asked HP to comment. We suspect we’ll be waiting longer than 15 minutes.

  Oof.
