The Doctor

That’s Craig, all right. He’s a big believer in “If I do anything with enough confidence nobody will stop me.”

Yeah, that’s Craig. With a heaping side of spite for anything that breathes oxygen.

I can’t tell if you’re taking the piss or not about re-implementing initscripts.

cdparanoia. Still do.

Our security@ address at $dayjob gets about that many a month. Lots of folks blindly sending bug reports and “politely requesting a finder’s fee for disclosing properly.”

The shit of it is, they’ll all for stuff we don’t even use. IIS vuln reports when we only use Apache. Stuff like that.

I’ve been doing the same in pull-backups for years. It works nicely.

Outlier profiles don’t get discarded. They get run through another statistical filtering step to smooth them out by eliminating the weird data points so that they’re less than a couple of standard deviations away from the core aggregate.

They can, and they do. That kind of filtering is a grad school homework project.

I used to work for a company that did the kind of data analysis AdNauseam is meant to foil. It doesn’t. If anything, it was kind of a joke around the office because the kind of junk that it throws out is easy to remove with a little statistical filtering. Just one more step in the processing pipeline.

Stick to just entering fake data when you have to enter data.

I use the same card (Intensity Pro 4k) to digitize videos. Worth every penny.

What’s the difference anymore?

They genuinely do not care anymore. We lost, just like the cypherpunks lost.

The last three or four companies I’ve worked for did. Usually a month or so in HR would want to know why I didn’t tell them about my birbsite account. They also usually asked why I didn’t update my LinkedIn page to say I was working there now.

You mean, there are places that don’t monitor their employees’ social media accounts to compare against?

'till all are one. o7

Who cares?

They said straight up, “I googled you and couldn’t find a Twitter or Facebook account. What are you hiding?” I had to teach them who Armand Jean du Plessis was.

Opting out of social media these days is considered inherently suspicious. It definitely came up the last time I had to undergo a background check for work.

There are two models I’ve used for this over the years, the Linksys EA8300 and the WRT 1900AC. Here’s how I did it both times (though I only got around to writing up my notes the second time.

Just defining the threat model of hardware addressing, as it stands.

I don’t agree with them sending more than the first half either.
