The various channels are human-curated and occasionally live dj-ed. I’ve found several new artists I like just by listening for awhile and picking out things that strike me.

You may have a future in risk management.

Hmm, there are some products that should have a defined “end of life”. For instance, computer networking hardware which will eventually be outdated and no longer get security updates. The trick is, the EOL date should be clearly marked on the product at the point of sale so that the buyer can make an informed decision.

This is built-in obsolescence, but it’s better than the current situation where Cisco will sell you a firewall at full price and then decide 6 months later that they aren’t supporting that model anymore and you have to buy a new one.

If you’ve ever heard the phrase “drinking the Kool-aid” it’s a reference to this incident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown

Hmm… is the giraffe centaur an obligate herbivore?

I… what the fuck am I looking at… ?

Please draw a diagram of this creature’s digestive system for me. Also their spinal structure.

well high school seemed like such a blur…

Uneven enforcement is a hallmark of fascist authoritarian states. Many things are illegal that are commonly done anyway. As a result, nearly everyone is “guilty” of something which the state can use against them whenever it’s convenient.

Blender. It’s been almost 20 years now since I started working with it, and the time I spent learning it was worth every minute. It is an incredibly powerful tool.

This is idealistic to the point of parody.

What makes you feel valued?

…and is that something that can be delivered remotely, through a screen?

I ask this not because I necessarily want or expect a specific answer, but because everyone who reads my comment should stop and spend a few minutes considering what the answer is for them personally.

And then think about what you think the answer might be for other people in your life, and what makes them feel valued.

What can you do, to make that happen more often for yourself, and for others? Personally, I think nothing is quite as rewarding as making someone else feel valued.

Talk to your family. Talk to your friends. They want to hear from you, even if they’re busy.

The folks at NIST know what they’re talking about. The US government directed them to develop security policy for government information systems in 2002 (FISMA) - they’ve been thinking about how to do this properly for 24 years.

If you happen to work for a US government agency of any kind, you can basically tell your boss “NIST guidance says we should do X” and compliance is technically required by law (within the context of security policies that apply to your agency’s work area). If you work for a company that does business with the US government, there are similar compliance policies also published by NIST that you should be following (and your company could lose its contracts if it is not compliant).

I need to file a warranty claim. Where do I address it?

I’ve had success directing people to the NIST password policy guidance.

We carve arcane patterns:

into specially prepared pieces of rock:

then apply energy and imbue them with instructions in specific, obscure languages to perform tasks for us. If you make any mistakes while uttering the instructions, the task fails.
