it is no longer cybersecurity awareness month.

you are hereby ordered to stop being aware of cybersecurity.

but you need docker and k8s and npm

infosec has a lot to learn about understanding failure conditions and accurate, understandable error messages from roadies

the timing couldnt be better on this one

it may be worth talking to people in your neighborhood about their ring cameras, because it looks like ICE is getting access to 'em

@catsalad oh, complaining that the highest tier mac isnt good enough in some way. saying docker or npm sucks, putting cast iron in the dishwasher, keying up a ham radio on 435mhz, setting all your switch interfaces to half duplex because its faster, raids are a backup

@catsalad talk smack about the iphone, gloat about riding in upper class on a flight, fuck up raid levels, call nat a firewall

oh were you waiting for a package?

folks out there who own/run startups, small businesses, or basically CFO for them, I have a question:

have you ever been pressured to start taking cryptocurrency? Did you do it? Did it pan out? We've done work for like ~16 cryptocurrency flavored orgs and several have asked us to pay in various tokens, and I'm wondering if its worth it to setup all the plumbing.

If you started accepting cryptocurrency, did that attract more customers?

@ryanc this is a super cool thing. is it a giant pain in the ass to setup?

@ryanc okay this is rad
