The Sniper from TF2 can have aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :neofox_scream:, as a treat

stare directly at the sun for the best view of the eclipse

I'm ready for the solar eclipse tonight :ablobfoxbongohyper:

hacking around on the plane you're currently in, Very high up, is certainly a choice

do not hack plane.

I am the very model of a hacker individual,

I’ve information cryptographic, analog and digital,

I know every cypherpunk, adhere to Kerckhoff’s principle,

I bounce from node to node so I can make myself invisible.

I’m very well acquainted, too, with server vulnerability,

I escalate my privilege and I trash availability,

I know the latest breaches and I know first when the ‘net’s ablaze,
Nets ablaze nets ablaze…
With many cheerful facts about developments in zero days.

being good at computer does not make you smart at not-computer.

A quick sidenote on "balls to the wall," since it's aeronautical and that's my thing.

Old airplane throttles had ball-shaped handles. Pushing them past the normal maximum, all the way forward to the firewall separating the cockpit from the engine, meant redlining the engine past its rated limits, the kind of move a pilot would only make in an emergency, when the risk of damaging the engine mattered less than the risk of not having enough power right now.

Workers in IT have historically enjoyed a lot of leverage over their employers, there was a rather high demand for people that knew their way around computers, networking, programming etc and a growing number of companies were using technology or even becoming full on IT companies

that has changed. the market is now saturated with people working in IT, and also with companies that use technology and require IT somewhere in their continued existence

but because of their already-good position with leverage over their employers in the past, the IT sector never unionized, so now that they'd desperately need it, IT workers don't have the leverage anymore.

Just imagine for a moment what would happen if the IT workers of the world unionized. Imagine for a moment if even just 25% of the entire workforce striked. Hell would freeze over. companies would cease functioning. We could have so much leverage but we don't.

come onnnn lisdex

or if they're not, that they're at least at peace or something

Just massively depressed myself by looking through the profile of someone who is now dead, and then thinking of a friend who I've not seen for 3 years and no one has heard from for like 2 and just hoping they're still alive y'know

....

I'm getting ideas
