Depends where you work, I suppose.

Not if you know JavaScript…

I wish reality agreed with you.

Tell it to the richest man in the world.

Full self driving 2030 guys I swear.

I have a .com for like $19.99 but pay to have my info redacted from whois stuff, an email address, all cones to like $42.99

I have a bullshit domain with some nonsense tld and domain name that I pay $0.99/yr for that’s on a vps I pay like $150/yr for all told (it’s doing stuff).

All told I keep it below $20/month.

I highly recommend it to anyone getting into self hosting, sysadmin stuff, cybersecurity, devops, etc.

It’s headaches, but once it’s working, you will have ridiculously valuable experience for any org.

I might be misunderstanding this concept but it seems like extra work, or a recipe for an insecure mess that could become difficult to maintain.

I run elk stack and log basically everything which has created a centralized point for observability. This lets me granularly investigate and thereby control the state of all of my networks services.

It’s a little ram hungry, but I’ve got some overhead.

“prevents”

You’re right. Let me revise my response. Straight to the point, zero fluff –

What?

Sits

They’re two sides of the same coin.

https://crt.sh/

When a CA issues an SSL/TLS certificate, they’re required to submit it to public CT logs (append-only, cryptographically verifiable ledgers). This was designed to detect misissued or malicious certificates.

Red and Blue team alike use this resource (crt.sh) to enumerate subdomains.

The most boomer shit I ever seen.

Yeah… No

I didn’t mean RFC Base32.

I meant human-safe alphabets.

Base58 or Crockford Base32 that intentionally remove I, L, O, and 1 (which is distinct from “base 32”).

RFC Base32 still hits the exact problem I’m ranting about.

To be clear the (vanilla) base32 version of the aforementioned string:

“I dont fucking know lots of lllllIIIIIIlllIII etc”

Outputs:

“JEQGI33OOQQGM5LDNNUW4ZZANNXG65ZANRXXI4ZAN5TCA3DMNRWGYSKJJFEUSSLMNRWESSKJEBSXIYY=”

You can use cyberchef to check for yourself.

This does not solve the problem.

I meant what I’d said: base 58.

As a job title: sysadmin

Loathe.

Every now and then there crops up the situation where there is no copy/paste from host to host. And when that involves a fucking product key or some shit… Mother fuckers just base 58 that shit.

What would you rather read and type?

Product key: “I dont fucking know lots of lllllIIIIIIlllIII etc”

Or…

Product key: “CqiDNKttsj1NUubpbVJ2VJL9eMEpRvRFMV3hNPRxtUX7SMox5UQjeEZX3DqqHNAfkSE”

I rest my case.

Jfc you just do both at the same time.

“Hey, I’m reaching out with regard to ticket 27472. I’ll need to remote into your device. You’ll see a notification that it’s happening. I just wanted to give you a heads up that the notification is expected behavior. Let me know if you have any questions!”

One message.

Do work.

“Hey again, the .zip is benign. Thanks for reaching out! Feel free to open it.”

They respond “thanks sorry I was at lunch”

“👍”

Never speak again.

It was Simone.

The dog did it by mistake because he’s a doofus.

The cat did it on purpose because 6 weeks ago you stopped scratching his butt sooner than he would’ve liked.

American Hero.

Did you talk about this with your therapist? Bc you should.

My old therapist would refer to frustration as a resource we hoarde. We dump our frustration into a little water bottle, and when we’re not using adaptive coping mechanisms, we table it. But then later something frustrating happens (like your webcam experience), and though it is (truly) a minor setback, you’re stuck with this huge reaction. You got a stop hoarding your frustrations and learn to dump that water bottle out before it overflows.

This imagery is for me helpful because it helps me understand some disproportionate reactions I may have, and also quite clearly doesn’t shy away from negative emotion. Get angry, hell yeah. When it’s… Adaptive. This wasn’t adaptive.
