Drinking is bad, mmkay (photo included) Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

@clankgy1@infosec.exchange my experience is not as brutal but I was close to this. 11 years without a drink. If I wasn’t an idiot maybe I could drink now but nope, no way, not worth it.

If anyone in Seattle/King County and want dog supplies, food, and a literal ton of toys and stuffies, we have a ton. I can easily donate the food and unused meds but toys unless new seem to not be wanted. Our pup played with some but most have just been sitting and never touched. Most are Bark Co. medium sized toys and chews. I would be willing to deliver in the local area if needed. #seattle

Got another lead on a role that doesn’t exist but was offered to someone I know, they don’t want it and think I am a way better fit. I agree just need to convince the hiring manager

@clankgy1@infosec.exchange I would sync your folder and take a look. Yesterday I was trying to export as PDF on windows and it didn’t have my settings from my Mac or Linux. Overall plugins seem to be the weirdest issues and deep links to files

Work situation is so bad I have to start looking at evil companies because my money tree ain’t growing anything. Drives me nuts seeing so many things happening at crazy speeds and I am just sitting on the sidelines…. #infosec #getfedihired

Painting started yesterday, electrical panel relocation and new 200amp circuit in addition to our very old 125amp. Going to have it wired for solar/generator as well. Want to get some panels, 12v batteries, inverter and start some illegal solar power. It would be nice to have a steady supply with a decent battery backup to keep costs down.

I can see some of the appeal of living on the islands or key peninsula. The wildlife alone is enough. In the last few days, bald eagle, osprey, barred owl. Ravens, crows, blue herons, countless deer and ground animals

Started playing The Planet Crafter and it has all the elements I want from a game right now. Resource gathering, building, exploration, no combat, optional online play, not cartoonish. Seems short as far as these kinda games but looks like there is some DLC.

People keep saying late stage capitalism like they know. For all we know this could be mid stage capitalism. People just make shit up, change my mind.

Just saw the head of security for Plaid post directly for 3 roles I have watched for 6 months. By all accounts the postings have thousands of applicants. They have reviewed all these applications and no one fit the bill? It’s the same for Nordstrom, Docusign, and about 15 other roles I am tracking. Why is a leader asking for people when they have gotten a huge pool to pick from? Maybe read the resumes instead of feeding the slop machine, you may find someone.

Was able to get my GPU doing its thing with Plex. I have a bit of an I/O issue with the drives…plenty of space, just need to use it better.

@bradwilson@mastodon.social Fedora has been great for me both KDE Plasma and Gnome. Moved to Gnome for touch support and it’s been better for me than Ubuntu 26.04.

@tsupasat@infosec.exchange normally open carry for me is unnerving as well but in the woods, away from well populated trail heads, I am not taking chances. I think well populated trails have better safety measures in place but open country I am not going to take chances

@tsupasat@infosec.exchange I know it’s not the norm on trails but a .357 works well to clear out most predators and stop the ones that don’t. Cougars, bear, and elk are plentiful and great from a distance but not something I want to see stalking me.

Last night I got fed up with my Plex server stuttering and started digging in to figure out what was going on. I realized I was transcoding with the CPU not GPU, and I never configured anything for transcoding with QuickSync. Hopefully that fixes up remote streaming a bit. Now I can continue to slowly move the rest of the services over to the new server.

My love for Deadwood, SD, #harleydavidson #motorcycle and little kids looking at bikes has collided. I will always take time to allow little people to dream. I was that little boy who loved motorcycles and stuff, when someone did something to bring me closer, I would be awe struck. Today when I ride, I love seeing kids looking at bikes, for escape, to dream, to feel something different and I believe a lot of bikers feel the same. Glad H-D is capturing this and putting it on display as it’s one of the legacies the Motor Company imprints on our roads. I have never lost this feeling and hope I never do. https://youtu.be/XDf8zMAFR4o?is=8xAl0YCKGYl8HF9Y

Started studying for the CRISC exam. Don’t think I will sit for it this year, thinking of doing some work to sit for CISSP before the end of the year. If I can get CISSP under my belt, I should be able to knock out CRISC right after. May as well use this time to get something accomplished while I continue to look for work.

Think I finally have a decent plan to move stuff around and have a chance to take down and rebuild my little server. Now to rebuild the services I need for my backend stuff. I am going to build from scratch and rebuild a bunch of metadata and more resilient configurations. I have learned a lot since the last time I did this.

@cybeej@infosec.exchange I am not a fan of the inconsistency and fragility of the road network. Most of the in person roles I have looked at have been 10 miles or less from my house, the commute could be 20 minutes or 2 hours. I thought growing up in DC and learning to drive there was bad but Seattle traffic is the saddest traffic ever. I would rather be moving for 45 minutes than stop and go for 30.

As much as I dislike saying it, I could really benefit from an in office job for a while. The last 6 months has made me realize that for close to 15 years, people I talked to and built relationships with, I have never met in real life. That is a sad way to live, I don’t want it, and have lost a lot of skills in human relations.

Sad we are not moving back home today. Too much work needs to happen before we can get back in, primarily painting which was supposed to be done Friday… I have to be back in town tomorrow and Tuesday so I will be at the house cleaning up dust and stuff
