Unrelated, this is a good thing to hear, I have an old MacBook air 2012 lying around, a supported OS would be handy to make use of the hardware still being in excellent condition.

On places like Bluesky, most articles, videos or news content I’d share would have more to do with how much I trust the person posting or sharing it than with its main body of content. I figure that someone I value has read it, and so I skip it, because reading it would feel like work and I have to deal with enough of that as it is.

Not to mention, “You won’t believe this one cool thing!” type headlines (like this one) are classic clickbaiting, and nobody wants to read a 10 page article that’s basically just advertising.

Thanks man, that’s some solid advice even if my work is a lot more pliable for security. I’d also say that compliance and risk are very good motivation, if you can nmap the servers and SSH in with default credentials and zero alarms during, that could cost millions in data loss, compliance fines, and recovery efforts. Show them solid figures and it’s a hell of a motivator.

It’s funny how people make such sweeping generalisations like they’re prophetic or something. Are some people shit? Sure, some suck at their jobs, and some are arseholes. Does that make all of them evil incarnate? Fuck no.
