Please don’t I barely understand subnetting as it is.

Something tells me the latter has already occurred.

Those spirochetes are leaving hole like a cork screw in his brain.

Work has been difficult, mostly due to coworkers lately.

If I’m blaring Rage, like I have all week, I’m ready to walk or to burn the place down. But I’m a lazy man.

There are people who legitimately can’t take some vaccines for legit medical reasons. For example, I worked in a hospital and was required to get an annual flu shot and it was always an issue. Why? I’m epileptic, and it could trigger a seizure. I never had an issue though, and fought to get the vaccine. Only missed one year with a charge nurse who wouldn’t risk it. I then went and got it on my own. Hospital acquired infections are no joke, and that applies to the staff as well as patients.

But other than that, I agree.

Or I mean, Shodan exists. I’m sure the gov has better.

A theoretical botnet I was looking at on github used shodan to identify possible targets to infect.

It is. Yikes.

Sadly, people think like this, I’ve known more than a few in Texas - having spent my whole life in this shit hole.

This is just a symptom of a larger problem in some communities; and it won’t be the ones most expect - locally speaking.

I’m sure anyone who lives outside a Christofascist state would be right on the money with their guess though.

Obama wore a suit, and he got shit because they didn’t like the color.

Trump on the other hand, wears diapers and has inspired his moronic base to wear them publicly as well. Not just, under their clothing like a normal person, they think its better than pants.

Lived next door to a cop, and down the street from another while growing up.

My dad, who only went with his father, trained more often and more rigorously then they did. How do I know? Cops talk a lotta shit, and their kids are sick of fascism already. This was only up until like 6th grade even.

Cop down the street was known for beating his wife, and was probably dirty as hell with the drive by attempt. Thankfully none of the kids were hurt. No one else was either, but even then I wouldn’t have shed a tear for a pig.

I was the SME over POS terminals in a past job.

Owners are often the biggest morons at the location.

Before that, I used the same basic software package at Subway because the owner couldn’t be bothered, and the manager, great lady, was not technically apt.

I need a slightly less secure walkthrough to allow, essentially, android auto and google maps to operate.

I did without for a while, and it wasn’t pretty.

Lets just say I went from a sketchy hospital district to a very sketchy dead end in a neighborhood that had lookouts. Working nights, this was not a great time to drop in unannounced.

Don’t work in medical IT.

It has been literally life and death before.

I had a car that would auto lock the doors.

It was also a keyless start, so the fob may be built totally differently.

That being said, if your keys were detected, it would prevent the auto lock.

It’s a less secure default, but at the same time people would be pissed if they had to call a lock smith all the time.

Yep. The southern border of Mexico is the border between N. America and C. America.

Don’t give people ideas.

Some people pay extra for that kind of treatment.

As a Texan, I concur. I’ve talked about it.

It either falls upon deaf ears, or it’s quietly agreed to and pushed into the background so as not to cause waves.

When polite discourse doesn’t work, it leaves people looking for alternatives to talk.

Sadly, being humans, violence inevitably is proposed at some point.

I don’t condone violence, but Martin Luther King Jr. made a salient point, “A riot is the voice of the unheard.”

The grand experiment that was America is crumbling before our eyes, and I am unsure if we as Americans can make things better without it getting worse first, and ultimately becoming something else in its place.

Social engineering, arguably, is one of the harder things to learn.

It’s a collection of soft skills, and if you’ve been paying attention to rank and file tech jobs, places are looking for people with soft skills because they’re so impractical to train.

This goes down to your basic help desk tech.

Anyone with an interest in computers can sit down and learn how to analyze and exploit weakness in code. In fact, it’s a fun puzzle. Dealing with other people, let alone establishing oneself as another person and fucking SELLING that character enough to get what you need?

People write off social engineering far too quickly. It’s quick, it’s effective, and if done well, the person you exploited doesn’t even realize they’ve been tricked.

From an American point of view, HIV treatment would absolutely ruin my life, both from the obvious health perspective, but financially.

Bankrupt, homeless, sick as a dog… I could easily see someone taking their own life in that scenario.

Is the medicine there? Sure. If you’re rich.

Hell, South Park did an episode that made the cure for HIV just be money, because that is certainly a requirement, at least here.

Performance isn’t key. But I like performance, lol. I also wasn’t aware of their more recent practices. So thank you.

I’ll have to check out the HP mini. As I said, just barely scratched the surface on researching this, and its more of a thought than a project at the moment, lol.

I just can’t afford (and cool) enterprise level stuff at home. It was free (to me) so no big loss other than buying a better CPU used ~50 bucks. I’ve spent more on worse ideas lol.

Cost and a personal bias, also I’ve seen more helpful communities amongst Linux and FOSS advocates than trying to deal with a big brand.

I’ve done a lot of IT stuff in my life, even before working in IT.

I’ve seen too many issues from big brands, and its usually caused by the company.

I have a Pi 2 from way back. I’ve thrown so many distros at that thing over time, and without fail I don’t run into any problems I didn’t personally create while learning or through human error.

I understand all too well that those big brands have support for businesses, warranties, etc. It makes them cost effective long term for business. At a personal level I just don’t see the benefits outweighing the negatives.

Again, personal bias. Same core reason I avoid apple products, bias, though I mainly dislike apples cost combined with their closed off, well, everything.

I’ve got enterprise level hardware, rack moubtable all that jazz.

Between the cost of power, and the heat it generates (which uses more AC and thus power) its not feasible to run it.

I’m looking into clustering some raspberry pis for a more power (and heat) efficient hardware as my next project. Barely scratched the surface of research though.

So hey, if anyone has any tips or links, it would be much appreciated.
