  • I’m not exactly expecting a sequel, but something in the Freelancer universe. Best spaceflight-ship-action combat game ever made, but never got the love it deserves… Even the story was good and entertaining.

    Today all X3 spaceflight-ship are either a pain in the ass where you have to be an engineer to even get started, or need to grind 1000 hours to even begin to have “fun”. I miss freelancer’s simplicity and space fights…

    Very nice ! Thank you :).

    This certification looks way more professional than the Comptia’s + certification stack, which looked more like a scam/money grab than actual certifications.

    Good luck in your study’s, keep it going, don’t give up 💪👍




  • It’s related though. If you have enough money, the means and interest, nothing is impossible. Specially if you are a big player/monopoly in IT.

    Yes I don’t have any degree in cryptography, AI, or any related stuff in security and mathematics, however I read a lot, tinker a lot and work hard to maintain my homelab and self-hosted services. I’m not intelligent by any mean but I’m not stupid either, critical thinking is a very important aspect but I digress.

    To give you another example, to better understand my comment on why I’m thinking like this, are some of the NIST curves in cryptography to sign SSL certificates which do not contain any backdoor by itself but have known weaknesses which allowed the NSA to snoop on communication for years… Intentionally or not that’s you to decided with your personal believes. And that’s not something I read on reddit or first search engine result but mostly research papers or people in the education sector writing trusted paper. And thankfully zlibrary exist or I woulsn’t be able to access those resources.

    I surely oversimplified everything here, with my limited knowledge, but that doesn’t take away (IMO) that we shouldn’t trust any big player in the IT infrastructure overall.

    PS: And yes Microsoft probably doesn’t need to implemented such measure, cauz’ people are anyway giving those info away for free… You’re right on this point :).








  • ☝️But this is also true on Windows. There’s no AIO plug&play OS ! That’s what arcade and consoles are made for.

    You want to customize your windows? Tweak some graphical knobs? Install some plugins? New driver? New hardware? Do some more advanced stuff with powershell?

    This all implies some user interaction ! Debugging a Windows issue is not that uncommon but most people just format or restore from a backup image (because it’s easier… Less time consuming…).

    It’s just that people got used to how consoles/Windows/MacOS work and are hand held like they are babies not capable of maintaining their own system.

    Don’t get me wrong, Linux IS harder to maintain than any other OS, but it also gives you back the opportunity to take control over your system/hardware/personal life !
