Thinking about “We have South Africa at home”, how soon Starport County, Texas will name the county seat New Praetoria, if John Cusack will be alive to play the Vice President in the remake of War, Inc. named Boer, Inc

I'm looking for work!
I'm a high-level infra and devops engineer and team lead.
I've previously run my own team, and previously worked at Mozilla and Facebook.
I'm looking for infra/devops lead or senior infra/devops engineer positions.
I'm not looking for pure development positions, but writing scripts, glue, and things like CI - as demanded by infra/devops - are totally fine. I just don't want to be developing the product.
The one thing I can't budge on is that I am exclusively looking for 100% remote positions, due to physical disability.
My CV is available at cv.dave.io. I am available to start immediately.
The CV is a Notion page and can be cloned directly into your workspace if you use Notion.
I'm more than happy to answer any questions, and all leads are graciously appreciated. Drop me a public or private mention, or use the other contact details listed on my CV.
That's about it. You are very welcome to boost this post, with my thanks.

I just replied to an email thread about a cooking group at church. Gmail rate limited for bulk sending.
This is anticompetitive bullshit and I'm so fucking livid.
I want to scream at Gmail users, but I acknowledge that it's not their fault.

@d2718 It is definitely my job.
My boss still believes PCs and Servers HAVE to be on VLAN 1.
Our last deployment, my first with the company, proved him wrong. I think he is losing sleep over it.
Since all the search engines have died - does anyone remember the story of the IBM coffee mug?

Hey, Binary Defense is hiring for a Threat Hunting team lead. They reached out to me to extend an offer, but I'm happy where I'm at right now.
recruiting.paylocity.com/Recru…
and because this isn't listed anywhere on the information about the position, this is the information I was able to get out their hiring person:
The max salary for this position is $165k plus 10% bonus, stock options, 401k match, full benefits and unlimited vacation days.
The position is fully remote, and unfortunately, I have no information as to whether or not they support international candidates.
Please note I'm sharing all the information I can here. Please don't reach out to me with more questions, but also good luck in your endeavors.

Today marks 10 years since the first Devuan installation isos were released. @jaromil posted the "pre alpha valentine (secret love declaration)" announcement to the DNG mailing list:

1) the designers of the games make all their articles to advertise their kickstarters
2) the kickstarter ends and then it disappears
3) the books flood out and the backers get excited
4) then it's gone from the zeitgeist because the momentum of the *conversation* was before it was released
5) it's a pain to get it to the table

"fedi bad because people don't know how the internet works" is a take so stale and useless I basically consider it to be bad faith propaganda at this point. like
why are we building decentralized infrastructure if not to help people understand that this part of the world they live in is inherently decentralized?
I think for most people who have this opinion the thing they want is just "twitter managed by The Good Guys" and not any kind of real change to the way we make communities online

In the 1937 preface to a collection of her ghost stories, Edith Wharton blames the literal-mindedness of readers who contact her over plot points they find implausible to “those two worldwide enemies of the imagination, the wireless and the cinema.”
A potent reminder that whenever you’re writing, people were until recently smart, but now are dumb, because of something new.

The plot point in question: a letter turns out to have been written and posted by a ghost. Wharton says that no one from haunted Scotland or Wales ever objects.
The Scottish and Welsh among you will surely attest to the constant nuisance of spectral junk mail.
The real question is if the law exist, why did Trump get convicted of a crime and the judge go "Well, you can't do anything to the president, so whatever"

Hey, Ontarians! 👋
Since y’all are headed to the polls pretty soon here, I thought I’d take a second to remind you that under Doug Ford, the literal fuckin’ ARMY had to go into seniors care homes to rescue your elders from the negligence of the provincial government during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. What our soldiers witnessed in those places has left them with lifelong psychological trauma.
Anyways, carry on.
"It is scandalous. It is shameful. It is shocking," Mitchell said. "Our senior generation is living in that, and that is a national atrocity."
There are many signs the provincial government knew, or should have known, what's happening inside these homes, but it took military intervention to bring the details to light.

Ok - I've been told that HTTP 418 belongs in the 400 block because it's the same as requesting a non-existent file. This argument claims that 418 is the same as 404.
I tend to think of 418 as being more analogous to 501. You cannot put coffee in a teapot, which is a statement about the teapot.

I'm looking at this as a web application returning a response code. HTTP is a protocol; some of the participants of that protocol will be extremely content aware, others less so. The very notion that holding coffee violates a teapot's nature is a philosophical conceit that would be odd for a low awareness system to express in the first place.
On the other hand, I suppose that attempting to french press in a teapot would be my idea of a 500-series teapot error.

OK. At the risk of giving "Mishing" more screen time than it deserves, please read my impassioned plea for us, the infosec community, to stop coming up with new phishing name variants.

I also urge everyone to sign this VERY REAL, and not at all satirical petition on change.org dedicated to this cause --> chng.it/VfxqypJBVH
Wondering what "Mishing" is? Or what other types of phishing terminology means? I'm sorry that you're in that position. But for you, I've also included a very cursed glossary of terms you can peruse shellsharks.com/no-more-ishing…. I very explicity told @cR0w not to do this, but here we are.
