Here's how Kagi summarizes it:
Interesting; it reminds me a little of an addon from maybe a dozen years ago that would do the same kind of thing but with fiction. So you'd be reading a post on Slashdot or whatever, and the addon would find a sequence of words that matched the start of one of the stories it had, and it would add a few words of that story. If you noticed, you could click on them to get more of the story, and if you kept clicking it would eventually replace the text of the whole page with the story. It was a really neat way of just stumbling across fiction. Wish I could remember the name of the addon. For some reason I think it was Australian, maybe put together by a university or an arts council or something?
Figured it was inadvertent, yeah

Haven't read Egan or Rucker, so I can't speak to them. Vinge had amazing ideas that still pop into my head from time to time, but I couldn't get into his writing style; he never really pulled me in, despite how much I wanted to bet pulled in.
Is the market actually bad at the moment, though? We've been trying to fill one of the vacant positions on my team, and the offers we've extended have been declined for other options. That makes it seem to me like candidates have plenty of options at the moment.
I think I'm good as far as job security goes, so that's a plus. I should ramp up the job hunt I suppose. Already trying to study for the CISSP after work though and I am a big fan of having down time to unwind.
Hey all! I'm trying to figure out where I go next in this career. I'm working at a mid sized company that is owned by a company that is owned by another company. Started out as a software dev about right years ago and spent a lot of time as a security champion; finally moved to the InfoSec team about two years ago. It's a small InfoSec team: three people total. So I do a lot of stuff: contact reviews, vendor security assessments, firewall log monitoring, code reviews, run security trainings, coordinate external pen tests, gather SOC 2 evidence, incident response... Lots of stuff.
I like most of the work well enough (though the GRC stuff is not my favorite), but recently my boss and my teammate quit, so our team of three is down to me. There's some support available from the security team of the parent organization, and a very competent contractor, but it's largely just me.
What I'm wondering mostly is: if I go elsewhere, what kind of role am I looking for? I feel like this Jack-of-all-security-trades thing I've got going on can't be super normal, can it? And also, is my current situation something I should embrace, and take the opportunity to run the InfoSec team? Having someone with two years of security experience at the wheel seems suboptimal to me, but maybe it's worth doing for the experience?
My ideal would be working with a team of five or six, with people I can learn a lot from; my concern is that right now, most of the learning I can do is from my own mistakes.
Darknet Diaries is always fascinating: it's all about cybercrime. Sometimes the episodes are breakdowns of particular hacker groups or specific notable hacks; other times, they're interviews with people in the industry: both cybersecurity professionals and criminals.
Starting right now, how can I preserve my personal conscious existence until I'm ready to no longer exist?
It's not 2° C; that would be quite chilly. It's 2° C above the earlier average.
SyncThing makes it pretty easy. It is less easy than a cloud based solution, though.
KeePass for life!
What's the context here? Presumably not something like "How are you doing today?"
There should have been only one.

There can be only one: Highlander
