My primary banks apps, and websites, work fine on Graphene, with the exception of anything NFC payment related. I do miss that convenience, but I still have a debit card and cash as needed.

So then you have to run those apps as root user, or does sudo to your own user work? I wouldn't expect it to with those perms set.

Seems more dangerous than just dealing with the cruft.

Can never predict your future. Enjoy what you will, when you can. I was in a motorcycle accident in 2021, TBI, hospitalized for 3mo, induced coma, and rehab for 9 months after.

I am back on the horse. It is just a zen and still relaxing time, albeit more anxiety while riding, than before. Thankful I can still ride, and I do.

`* 1 * * * sleep $(( $(od -N1 -tuC -An /dev/urandom) \% 45 ))m ; <your command here>`

So the `OnCalendar` stanza is the same as a Cron job; without the helpful comments of the ordering? And that is considered _easier_??

Just use Cron. It does one thing and does it well.

The spend is going to AI (which is 70% Reddit sourced); of course its being wasted. You don't need KPIs to tell you that.

The man (character) was a rightful, respected, hard-ass. But made good points with evidence to explain the _why_; a true leader.

None of these autocratic countries care about their own populations. Trump has said so explicitly many times.

Going to need a better source than a habitual liar.

Yes. I know Andreessen-Horowitz and I don’t know a16z.

So the world needs to adapt to your knowledge instead of you learning to adapt to a often used, and well-known moniker?

are/were peace-loving good guys,

And the US is?

Isn't that the promise of AI??

Mortgage loans and car loans in America also ask for your W-2 or proof of that said income. Can't prove it, they won't let you use your claimed income as basis for loan approvals.

It is insanely stupid that '4B' with a B, is 'too small' of an operating space.

This will be the third death of SO, but likely way more permanent.

While the most well known, there are other points of presence doing the same thing. Easy and trivial to duplicate traffic at line speed. It doesn't affect the traffic flow itself.

Did the genetic genome tests from the biopsy, from a third party company. Helped guide the treatments.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that connection either. I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer, but was identified as 'genetic' and not caused by diet or lifestyle. I used to be a heavy runner too, done a few marathons, and plenty more 10k, 8ks etc. Wonder if that could be a correlation... Treatments have it contained/in maintenance so at least I have that going for me.

Does NFC work with those digital payment apps on Graphene?

+1 for chronic. Very useful for knowing when a cron fails without needing to manually review every log run.

It allowed me to revamp my home lab in a weekend.

So, what did you learn from that project??

IMO, it goes against 'self-hosted' too. Self-hosting for your own data, control of it, and handling of it. Self-hosting to learn new things and scratch your own itch for a niche product. AI vibe coding doesn't have any of that. Literally an _idea_ that someone else implements and you the 'coder' don't really have any control or understanding of.

Why would I want to take ownership of that for my own security?

Interesting. I was a LEO, moved gradually into infosec. I think the stresses are different, but LEO was way more actively stressful.

Listing an active US security clearance on your LinkedIn or resume, is a sure fire way to get malicious actors trying to "hire" you; and makes you way more of a target. Especially combined with your technologies, company and time frame worked... It's just realy bad idea.

Exactly. Its only useful after the fact. I he shoplifting has already occurred. Cameras do not stop shoplifts. It creates a record after the fact.

I have 'Create a MUD server' on my side project todo list. I Want to do it with golang too. I have some experience with C and SMAUG codebase; just tinkering around. What were your biggest challenges and wins with a Go based MUD server?

I know it goes against the grain here; but so what. It's the users prerogative to do with their device, what the wish. Nag for security updates, sure. But automatic updates of anything is user hostile and should be abolished. Especially when those automatic updates remove features or introduce a shit ton of new bugs.

It isn't about the commonality of the bug, but the level of access it gets you on the type or massive scale of the target. This bug you your blog? Who cares. This bug on Discord or AWS? Much more attractive and lucrative.

Pretty sure dd is disk destroyer

I'm sure you have, but try be bringing that up to Epic, not introducing AI slop and Data gathering into HIPPA workflows.

Premature optimization. Not every single service needs or require 5 nines.
