Was behind this guy at a red light a few minutes ago. Hack the plaNET. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Adding a 2.5" hard drive to an HP T620 thin client using the unpopulated mSATA connector and tapping 5V off one of the internal USB ports was just... *chef kiss* my brand of nonsense.

lol, a way to bypass the Microsoft account requirement in Windows 11 - type username no@thankyou.com, any password, and it bumps you to local account creation.

<Actual Recruiter call>
Recruiter: Do you know assembly language?
Me: Yes, I do, but which one are you interested in?
Recruiter: There's more than one?
Me: Yes, dozens. 6502, Z-80, ARM 64, which one?
Recruiter: Uh, assembly?
Me: <Kill me now>

Q: "I want to get into a #cybersecurity #career. How should I start."
A: "Go to school and get a degree in cybersecurity or computer science"

Q: "I spent 4 years and $60,000 to get a degree but companies won't hire me. How can I get a job in cybersecurity?"
A: "Degrees don't mean anything, half of us don't have degrees. You should get a cert."

Q: "I have my degree and spent 6 months and $8,000 to get a certification but companies still won't hire me. How can I get a job in cybersecurity?"
A. "Certs only prove you passed a test. You need to get some experience. You should build a home lab and do independent learning."

Q: "I have my degree, a certification and just spent 6 months and a few thousand dollars building out and learning technology in my home lab but companies still won't hire me. How can I get a job in cybersecurity?"
A: "Well you need on the job experience, you should find an internship. It'll probably pay very little but you gotta pay your dues."

Q: "Are you f'ing kidding me?"

This is literally what we put people through to when they want to join our industry. Now do you wonder why they aren't showing that "passion" you expect? Why perhaps they're skeptical of the next thing you tell them they need to do to get a job? Stop telling the job seekers they're the problem. Start looking at how you hire and see that hiring practices and workforce management are the problem.

Shout out to the underrated hacker power couple, Razor and Blade.

"Wow, check out this weird OS; it uses the dwarf fortress font!"

@zhuowei No, but 0. is a valid domain (which, Gods willing, IANA/PTI will never allocate) so a subdom like www.0. can work.

I haven't done enough makerspace posting.

Hi I'm Andrew. you might now me as @ajroach42@retro.social or possibly @ajroach42@mountaintown.video or @ajroach42@linernotes.club or lots of other places.

Hey look at me (a baby hacker) giving security advice to an open source project...

But fucking important ones!)
