I’m in a similar boat here. Classic Peter Principal in action. It sucks that management comes with higher pay. If I was making what I make now and just be an individual contributor I would totally go for that. I guess that’s why they have to pay you to do it, because it’s no fun.
Pretty sure when Orange Box was released, it included HL2 and HL2 Episode 1 in addition to HL2 Episode 2. Hard to remember because there were so many good games that came from that one purchase.
Obligatory Line Goes Up video, although not exclusively about Bitcoin.
I do admit that early in Bitcoin’s life, around 2013, i was a interested in Bitcoin as an alternative to banking, but the volatility and speculation alienated me from the community. Anyone buying BTC now for $90k, you need to realize this turned into a pyramid scheme and you’re not at the top of it. You may be able to find someone who’s more of a sucker to take the Bitcoin off your hand and make a profit, but it’s not sustainable, someone has to loose. Any gains you make are probably less than 10% what the person made by selling it to you.
If you do end up speculating on crypto, don’t invest more than you can afford to loose, and assume you’ll loose it all. It’s very likely you’ll either get hacked/scammed, loose your wallet, leave your wallet in an online exchange who runs off with your keys, etc. You’re on your own if that happens. If you do end up making any profit, it’ll be a blessing and you’ll be way happier than if you thought this would be your key to get rich, and you end up loosing it all.
We must be truly desperate to look to the electoral college for help.
Still though, Dynamic DNS points to an external IP address, which you’d have your NAS exposed on a public port. This is the flaw in the design which allows remote execution of this exploit.
If you need remote access to the NAS, it should not be publicly exposed and should require a VPN to access. That way if there is an issue or misconfiguration, everyone on the internet can’t exploit it easily.
If you’re using one of these models, it’s highly recommended that you replace your NAS system with one that’s still receiving patches from the manufacturer. If that isn’t possible right now, Netsecfish suggests restricting access to your NAS settings menu/interface to only trusted IP addresses. You could also isolate your NAS from the public internet to ensure that only authorized users can interact with it.
Emphasis mine, regardless of this incident, even with a brand new supported model, it shouldn’t be exposed to the internet. Half the reason these security issues are such a big deal is because manufacturers wanted to make things simple and designed it to sit on the open internet, so they wouldn’t have to deal with support requests. Now their customers are exposed because of poor recommendations and the lack of updates.
Perhaps I’m just in an echo chamber? John Oliver spent a full half hour of his show outlining it all and that has 10M views on YT and an estimated half a million who watched it live. 1
And everyone just let him get away with that answer.
This is the most baffling thing, he can do every career suicide move and get away with it.

is he paid residuals for theater and streaming sales? 🤮 if so, this would be a great reason to pirate it.
Sadly search interest for Project 2025 only peaked after the election. I assume of the people that heard about it, they either assumed Trump wouldn’t be elected, and they therefore don’t need to care about it, or think they’ll be unaffected if Trump is elected. Now they’re seeing the ideas outlined in there and probably freaking out.
Not really sure what more could be done to inform people of the dangers of Project 2025. Maybe repeating it ad nauseam caused people to tune it out or something?
There’s always going to be a large majority of the population who is not informed about anything and just vote on vibes. Biden & Harris took a lot of the post-Covid economic heat that many countries are dealing with now, and isn’t unique to the US or specific policies. That’s causing bad vibes and rejection of incumbent leadership everywhere.
Thank you!
Anyone have a non-paywalled link?
It’s times like this i wish my instance allowed the ability to downvote this garbage. You have a 3 day old account and posted 3 posts with misinformation in 15 minutes. Who do you think you’re fooling?
This was a great video. The ban on disposable vape can’t come sooner.
Pretty sure all voting security professionals agree that you need a paper trail to verify, in the event of data loss or hacking. Adding an online voting option would be more convenient, but also make it more convenient to foreign interests who want to disrupt the election. The added convenience doesn’t justify the risk.

What a weird commercial. I’ve got so much stuff going on in my life, but my priority should be maintaining the virtual life of my Animal Crossing character?
I would bet that they will restrict the distribution of existing and new vaccines first, and then perform the investigation slowly, wasting money and time, and causing unnecessary harm.
How screwed would one be if the domain they bought was a ccTLD and that country ceased to exist?
