  • All good advice! As a cyclist I’d recommend living by the rule of N +1 (or 2,3,4). You can do everything correctly and still get your bike stolen so make sure you have a backup cause these thieves are determined little fuckers. Also commute bike should be used and cost <$500. If your bike costs more than $1k (or whatever currency you use) then someone’s gonna try to steal it. Doesn’t matter if it’s a work garage or apartment garage, someone’s gonna try to steal it. My rule of thumb, bring it inside. You can hang it on the wall like the piece of art it is and rest assured these thieves will have a harder time trying to steal it.








  • Oh shit! Totally forgot about the San Jose Sharks. Ohio was big into Chicago culture at the time so things from LA or NYC (respectfully) wasn’t seen too often and it was always the “black sheep” of the league that went against the norms of mid-west culture.

    Avg mid-western: “San Jose Sharks…ohhh sounds Spanish”


  • Same with Might Ducks gear but they didn’t have an official/professional team. Tbh, the mascots for The Hornets and Might Ducks went hard, that hornet looked mad af haha

    I grew up in Ohio in the 90’s and everyone was wearing Hornets or Chicago Bulls gear (head to toe) and Might Ducks hats/shirts.


  • Tbh, at this point I think he says this shit as a way to distract people from something else. Him posting a picture of himself as Pope, now this dumbass movie tariff. It’s his typical playbook. Say something dumb and the media and the like will eat it up while he does something else that chips away at our freedoms.

    I also like how the media tries to justify everything this fucking clown does. “Oh well the film industry is down 49% cause of other governments offering incentives to film abroad.” Yea dumb ass, that’s how you get industries interested in the first place. Offering discounts to film executives - crazy fucking idea I know.

    Edit: ah, here’s what I’m talking about https://lemm.ee/post/63108758

    Gracias! Yo sé alemán un poco también pero español es más divertido.

    I’ve used VMware and Cisco products before, and you’re heading down the right path. I used the Cisco WAP at this one startup and those WAP’s were the best I’ve ever used, it’s been awhile though so it could’ve changed.

    If you’re looking at Networking type of protections I’d focus on understand network traffic and how it flows in and out of internal systems. I currently use Akamai as our CDN but I’m not sure if they offer a free or community version. Wireshark is a good open source tool with plenty of docs and step by step guidance for analyzing traffic (it’s a bitch to learn up front but you’ll be good for like 90% of traffic tools).

    That said, what we’re talking about is very different from the GRC stuff you had initially mentioned. What I’m getting at is you probably don’t have to focus on networking things if you’re dealing with compliance and regulatory GRC things.

    Self hosting is the way to go. I’d suggest looking into open source projects for something you might be passionate about. Like, if you like gardening you could set up a time to turn gardening lights on, water systems, ect…those types of projects, when using open source apps, REALLY speed up you’re understanding of how systems communicate with each other.

    I work for a company that has offices in Spain (estoy aprendiendo español para mi trabajo) and Spain has a lot of jobs in tech, if you wanted to explore other areas.

    GRC tools, I’ve only used ZenGRC but that was for a short time and I don’t focus on that, so I’m not the best resource for that. I do work with Data Governance tools that will usually work closely with GRC type tools, if that’ll help.

    Certificates when you first start are good for getting your foot in the door but the best way to learn in a real world experience. To answer your question, 99.88% of people would said Security+, but that cert is nothing compared to actually dealing with actual real world BS. Certain types of attacks don’t follow a pattern and being able to adapt to that isn’t going to be taught in Security+

    Yea I’ve never understood the negative reaction to working with women in cyber security but those people are losers anyway.

    On another note, how are you liking cyber security? Any questions? Concerns? Areas you’re interested in?

    I work in cyber security and have gotten to work with some very talented female engineers. It’s always shocking to me the amount of disrespect some third party will display towards them. Like talking down or whatever.

    What’s also entertaining is watching my coworkers absolutely destroy these ass hats.
