Grass has been touched. Give me a light.

It's a beautiful day in #Oklahoma to enjoy a La Estrella Cubana Connecticut #cigar. I think it's my favorite inexpensive cigar to just unwind with, paired with a cup of coffee. #cigars

I gotta get over this funk. Finding no joy in my #cybersecurity job. I just don't care. Don't want to #homelab, don't want to #study, I just want to smoke #Cigars and listen to #jazz while the world burns.

#burnout

If you think #Trump really did #Jan6, but you refuse to take the very real, very believable issues around the #Biden presidency seriously, you're just an empty gong.

#GOPDebate

I didn't vote Trump either time, but anyone can see he's being railroaded.

Come on infosec people, you *know* the signs of social engineering/phishing. High stakes, time constraints, call to action. You're not being smart, you're being a mark.

If you cannot articulate your opponent's position as they would articulate it, you are not qualified to have an opinion on that person or able to have a rational debate. Reductive malicious catch phrases like "Don't Say Gay BIll" or "Republicans want to ban books" are great slogans for ginning up emotional reactions, but don't describe the intent or heart behind the actions. Exactly -zero- Republicans I've ever met want to actually ban books. I've run into more on the Left who want to control speech than vice versa.

I'm horrified by the idea of either the swamp things on the Republican side or the Comrades in the Democrat party taking complete control. The result is the same - "A boot standing on a human face - forever."

@amerika @KikiElara @bookstodon I liked the Necromancer and Pattern Recognition trilogies, but The Peripheral just didn't capture me the way his previous works did. Even blindly accepting the premise, the characters and story felt flat.

Try Snow Crash or Diamond Age if you haven't already. Both are excellent.

My project #Optiplex 9010 is coming together. Already replaced the #firmware with the #dasharo #coreboot implementation by #3mdeb. My #xeon e3-1230v2 showed up this morning and is installed and running, and I scrounged another 8GB of RAM to tide me over until I can order a full set of 32GB. I've got a full height #quadro k2000 sticking out of the case until my GPU arrives. In the meantime, it's time for a little benchmark and burn in.
