The issue is not the tools. The issue is the users. The tool can be used to do what you want, but if you are lazy and dont pay attention to the instructions, rules, or even what you are doing, it’s not the tools fault.

We changed to using “wins the lottery” because the death thing is pretty negative. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

No, we really aren’t. People hate what these idiots are doing to America.

I am trying to start writing more. I relaunched my website for the 20th time. I bought the domain in 1998. Anyway, I wrote a thing about VPNs. blog.unspecific.com?p=349 https://blog.unspecific.com/?p=349

Saw a new Dr yesterday. She said "Why are you drinking caffeine when you are on stimulants." as my BP was higher than normal. (new Dr and upped the dosage that day). I said, because Caffeine is good for you. Some studies showing up to 300mg/day is good for several aspects. my "proof" https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/9-reasons-why-the-right-amount-of-coffee-is-good-for-you

I think I used the wrong terminology. This is entry level. First level. Beginning level SOC analyst. I am looking at people finishing school, maybe have some intern work. Or people looking to change roles into infosec, who can use their organizational and communication skillz. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I grew up in TX. TX has its issues. When I was in middle school we had a Texas History class. Maybe it has changed but historically they actually taught that we LOST the Alamo and the saying “remember the Alamo” was like saying “never forget 911”. So many clips of stupid people.

This year looks like a year of documentation and documentation. Will probably have to find time for some tickets, and of course meetings, but it will be about documentation.

Started making my own curries. Made a chicken and rice curry last week. Doing one with potatoes tonight. Starting from scratch, no curry mixes. It makes me happy. Playing with different spices. Comparing to ones I have had in pubs.

I asked ChatGPT to draw a visual representation of how a VPN works. In the end it wrote python code to generate a flowchart in matplotlib.pyplot. We defined the different pieces to be used. At that point I threw my hands in the air. As long as you don't know what you want, it does great.

Audit. Requirement "MFA for VPN". Provide details... response form the auditor: I noted that only ## users are configured with VPN. I compared this to the active employee listing and noted that there are ### active employees. Can you help me explain the gap for the ### users that do not have VPN?

No, saying "I do not disagree" is not the same as "I agree." I may agree with the sentiment, but not the message. Like if someone says "I hate the group." I don't disagree that they may be hatable, but not with the reasons he is saying. If I completely disagree I will say so.

I don’t care about whataboutisms. What about how they did this other thing... Not the current point. It is changing the subject.

Sitting at the airport reading news articles to my wife. Ran across the Manhattan attorney quit instead of following orders. Random guy “before we start singing her praises..” Me: I am not singing praises. I am talking to my wife about a news article. I don’t want to discuss this with you.

Don’t trust what you read without receipts? I mean it was the .gov telling us what was going on. He did not access from his own laptop. He did not have as much access as previously reported. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

The New York Library is jumping tonight. All I wanted was the Ghostbusters lions.
