@jerry I'm sure the ads will appear as soon as the crypto dries out. We will hear the cries from here

I just got back from the gym - I’ve managed to get back up to 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. I forgot how much quieter my mind is after a good workout. A+ highly recommend.

@catsalad I haven't seen hard numbers, but there's been a lot written about the number of 30 under 30 that have been criminally charged: https://nationalpost.com/news/surprising-number-of-people-in-forbes-30-under-30-list-have-run-into-trouble-with-the-law

I can definitely say that there’s a noticeable number of new legitimate people signing up to infosec.exchange. Guessing another migration is underway. Welcome everyone!

@jerry No more than usual

@risottobias @jerry Yeah, secure deletion is a complete contradiction to secure backup, which is meant to prevent data loss. So, mixing them up creates a mess that every company’s IT department has headaches trying to find a way to make it work (more or less).

Exactly how much more money does Kamala Harris expect me to donate now that the election is over!?!?

@jerry What happens in three mo.... awwww

@jerry I'm mad that it's ran by Musk and not Strong Bad. Have these rich guys come up with anything creatively original?

@jerry @mav I used to have a meme jpeg of the two trains colliding of"our top priority""our other top priority"colliding onto the same fork/switch smushed together derailing each other

@jerry happy anniversary

I just pulled the trigger on a new AC system for my condo. I expect this is one of the things that will become significantly more expensive in about 6 months. Also, I learned that sea salt corrodes aluminum to dust. I did not know that.

I think I’m going to make my millions by creating some sort of security device to put in front of and protect enterprise firewalls from being hacked, since that is apparently a thing that is needed. And to answer your first question, of course it will have AI. I don’t know for what purpose yet, but it’ll be there.https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2024/11/07/cisa-adds-four-known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog

I think i stumbled on the next billion dollar idea: AI bots to play video games for you. Playing video games can be mentally taxing - wouldn’t it be nice to offload that work to AI so you can do other things, like get a 3rd job to help pay for my game playing AI bot?

I'm not sure if there's a number of Nilla Wafers one can eat to make the world feel better, but I am here to tell you that if it can, it's more than 20 cookies

I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but now is really not the time to be assholes to other people. And no, your hot take on who screwed up or what went wrong is probably not helping in any way.

Remember to take care of yourself and others today. Take a walk outside and drink some water.

So… the instance mstdn.business. It’s completely overrun with spam accounts. Is anyone use it legitimately?
