So sad that we haven't done MC this year, ... yet. Missing everyone, more than usual.
You could have done a virtual MC and brought in even more attendees.
The physical ones are virtual as well so it doesn't seem like only virtual would bring in more than the two combined.
They were? I thought they were just recorded and posted to YouTube like a year later?
Were there actually live interactive broadcasts?

RE: Wikileaks Reveals CIA's Hacking Tools
The CIA leaked them because they lost control of the Tools; they released them to this vendor and that vendor, and no longer knew who had them. Therefore, they leaked it to WikiLeaks so the vulnerabilities could be widely known and fixed.

RE: What Are You Doing Right Now
@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
I can't believe how often people on SW outright admit, and take pride in, the fact that they don't do the job that they are paid to do and try to scam their customers. It's only once every few weeks, but that it ever happens is just mind blowing. That anyone things it is okay to brag about screwing other people, especially people specifically paying you to protect them, is insane. No wonder people don't trust their IT people, they shouldn't. If that number are willing to brag in public with their name and face on it that they are taking advantage of their customers' naivety, imagine how many do it secretly!
Lol yeah.
Planes have two engines... so that means you need two dns servers!

RE: Resume critique
Also, it's not only about what you already know. A part of it is showing how well you can adapt and learn new or similar things.
It's rare that a candidate has total experience and competence in every single aspect of what the employer is looking for or what the company currently uses or plans to use. In fact, it may be impossible due to the high diversity. Maybe in a more focused role, but that's not what we are talking about here.
Know what I mean?

RE: Was mangolassi down earlier today?
I doubt enough revenue and future potential revenue was lost to warrant HA.

RE: Edge the Big Loser at Pwn2Own
The most impressive exploit by far, and also a first for Pwn2Own, was a virtual machine escape through an Edge flaw by a security team from “360 Security.” The team leveraged a heap overflow bug in Edge, a type confusion in the Windows kernel, and an uninitialized buffer in VMware Workstation for a complete virtual machine escape.
The team hacked its way in via the Edge browser, through the guest Windows OS, through the VM, all the way to the host operating system. This impressive chained-exploit gained the 360 Security team $105,000.I thought VMWare fixed the possibility of this from being possible? This is now the third time I've heard of VM escape on the VMWare platform.

RE: Choosing a Linux Distro for Business
@NerdyDad said in Choosing a Linux Distro for Business:
How easily transferable are the skills between distributions?
If I go from CentOS to RHEL or Fedora shouldn't be much of a jump at all. But CentOS/RHEL/Fedora to Debian-derived is what I am asking about.
Learn RedHat, even if you will use Fedora. That's what the employers will look for unless they are smart like SAM.

RE: T-Mobile Buys Large Piece of 600MHz Spectrum in the US from Federal Spectrum Auction
I've been using tmobile family plan for almost 5 years now. Never any issues until I go to the deserts, which nothing works then not just tmobile.

What's funny is the people who say stuff like that are the ones with the most to hide... they just don't get it.

RE: Working Remotely
I got my USB monitor today in preparation of the remote work, and got my wired/wireless Bluetooth mouse a couple days ago:
(mouse stock photo, didn't take my own) Razer Orochi
(my pic)
Running an hour long 1080p video test on it to make sure it'll do it's job...

Hey baby, would you like to see my algorithms?
Only if they're bug free.
