@skylar @amerika @p @h4890 @cjd @sj_zero @threalist 100. Ot the burnout that comes from just staring at nessus all day and trying to make boomers understand that putting their passwords on sticki notes is a bad idea

I mean not really any articles off the top of my head but I have several theories.
Mainly there are a lot of gatekeepers making money of certifications that at the end of the day install a false sense of knowledge and confidence to those who get them.
Garbage distros like kali or parrot have a lot of automated tools that people will use and not exactly understand, so it's a point and fire situation. I mean if you can't set up your own box that you're fucking useless. Like honestly, if you don't know what a fuzzer is doing don't use it. (not you, like people in genreal)
Most schools are diploma mills so people who go that route have an inflated sense of superiority. Enjoy the debt dummies.
Moar gatekeeping. Like, most places now want at least a 4 year computer science degree which is dumb, theres nothing a classroom will do if you cant learn it yourself. just check out any so called "hacking forum" its moron after moron that can't google "why is postgres not starting" or "what are some common ports?"
Basically it's filled to the brim with annoying dipshits who spend most of their time blabbing about women issues in tech and building communities rather than fixing shit.
Every clown on Earth these days is all "im gonna do cyber security!"
Cool.
Learn a scripting language at least, at least be able to read C, learn how things like linux and windows servers work...at the very least before even thinking about security.
I once met a fucker at the bar blabbing about his 6k security consulting job. I started kinda talking to him and it was all "i don't code, no I don't need any of that thats for developers"
I wanted to kick his stool out form under him.
I hate that industry I hate the dumb asses in it and I'm at the point where if people get owned by the Ruskies than that's just not my problem lol
Thanks for coming to my seminar.

@Tony @dcc @i Oh aws is corpo hell.
Remember all those idiots from twitter that came over here when Elon bought it?
I saw these fucking tards trying to set up masto instances on aws and then begging for like 1000's of dollars "to help keep the lights on"
some of that was obvious grift but holy fuck
-
@Tony @dcc @i 100. It doesn't matter to some giant company or say the pentagon because that's they're understanding of the world. For the average person or small business its real mafia shit.
-
@Tony @dcc @i I bet man.
I think best path to take is the most self empowering one.
If one doesnt know where to start there are people that can help.
I mean I run all my own stuff and it really doesnt set me back much, hosting etc
-
@Tony @dcc @i Word.
Im eyeballing this LattePanda sigma as kind of a base station. It has 3 m.2 slots so conceivably I could have several terabytes of storage. That might solve a number of my backup issues at least.
But if you can whip up a few vps and start renting them out I would assume it would eventually pay for itself.
You would also be doing a good service to the internet by giving back so to speak.
-
@Tony @dcc @i Yeah for me the biggest hurdle is storage costs. Liek we were talking about earlier a 2 tb ssd runs almost 200 right?
I can string some sbc's together ez but then 5 pi's also gonna cost you.
-
@dcc @Tony @0 Certainly there are people on fedi that could use something like that
-
@dcc @Tony @i That's sort of my project: building up a ton of private infrastructure.
-
@Tony @dcc @i Oh I know man, or at the very least a server setup to exactly your standards.
I have paranoia issues about the internet, like its state in the future so I hoard data like crazy. Books, games etc.
I like the idea of having a silo of cool shit.
-
@Tony Solid Sunday activity
-
@Tony Yeah I've had those issues with vps. Usually seems to depend on the distro. Last time iirc it was an Alpine install that couldn't find the internet. Messed around with DHCP and it suddenly worked
-
@kroner @D00B @MrFuzzland @bot She's got a book out.
-
@pwm @D00B @MrFuzzland @bot @kroner Agreed.
Low barrier of entry equals lower quality of content.
USENET a great early example.
Now any clown with a $30 7/11 tracphone can shit up a website.
-
@amerika @pwm @D00B @MrFuzzland @bot @kroner 100.
I mean you had to learn something new to get things working back then, maybe buy a book and work through it.
Added benefit of of learning how something worked.
I hate all this hand holding shit that goes on now, it's dumbing people down.
-
@amerika @pwm @D00B @MrFuzzland @bot @kroner It's enjoyable to navigate new waters. I had a ton of fun learning back during ancient internet. Same with trying to get a game to work, you often had to start learning all kinds of DOS stuff to get the thing to run.
So yeah, we've lost a lot.
Whenever I find myself talking to someone who spends all their time on Facebook or whatnot I get so frustrated because they can't handle thinking. It's weird, like they go from 0 -10 in a heartbeat if you dare introduce a new idea.
