my cybersecurity courses in uni are like 15 years out of date and it drives me insane. and i dont mean in the "haha im so smart, i already know what a buffer overflow is thanks 2 tomert scotwald", i mean in the "they made this lab for android so long ago that when i follow the directions to the letter the app crashes since package naming schemes have changed and this attribute doesn't exist anymore" kinda way and it makes me want to beat powerful people with very heavy hammers

in my original headcanon notes from like 5 odd years ago i made red into a salaryman working for silph co based on that whole bit after the rocket takeover when the president literally just offers you a job at silph co after you graduate after saving him.

and some how i've evolved that into "IT professional who wants to ram his head into a wall whenever one of any of the 16 gym leaders + elite 4 and lance opens up a phishing email from 'nxjhdkfjhk324@fjdhfgj12kd.info'"

hey, no offence, i don’t want to sound rude but don’t you think it’s a bit unsafe to be sharing your location and your whereabouts so openly? i’m actually talking out of concern not hating.

thats true but i’m js showing the general area (that’s not the distance from where i live, it’s the distance where i was at the time) since i’m so close to a place important in one of my favorite book series ykwim?

and i zoomed in enough on the bridge so you couldnt even see which side i’m on lol

plus i make sure to not even like. specify where exactly i’m from (just that i’m a gulf arab—and trust me, theres currently hundreds of gulf arabs in london) or my real name or any details about me personally other than my age gender and ethnicity / religion

and i’m leaving london tmr anyways sooo it wouldnt matter even if someone figured out my location (which is very unlikely in the first place)

“yeah? i bet you would.” snorted derisively, though he didn’t meet her eyes. “that’s probably a job requirement for you people at this point.” you people meaning those in the entertainment business — as if he hadn’t been receiving his paychecks directly from her label for quite some time now.

Hot take but maybe Ao3 should use some of their funding to make their own encryption / Captchas instead of giving the domain to Cloudfare. Or at least implement an alternative, non-3rd-party method of defending against DDosses

Since, y'know, Cloudfare could be a massive data mining company and is already causing problems for a lot of users... Further reading below

"Now cloudflare has control to eavesdrop and log any user interactions with your website or silently tamper content if they please." -dr jimbob (Link) explains this well & briefly in a stack exchange comment.

JoePie91 has a post criticizing Cloudfare & provides alternatives at the end, although the article is old so take it with a grain of salt (Link).

Troy Hunt has an equally old article in support of Cloudfare, if you want a different opinion (Link). Although I disagree with a lot of his takes, and the whole "anyone who disagrees is crazy and polarized" bit is super off-putting.

"if your choices are to either run entirely unencrypted or to protect against the 95% (or thereabouts) of transport layer threats that exist between your visitors and your origin, do the sensible thing. Nobody in their right mind is going to advocate for remaining totally unencrypted rather than using CloudFlare purely to encrypt between their edge nodes and your users. There are people not in their right mind that will argue to the contrary and that's precisely what the title of this post suggests - it's unhealthy security absolutism."

I personally think security absolutism is silly, but to say people who want to use more secure alternatives are "not in their right mind" is an insane straw man.

Idk I just want Ao3 voulenteers to do more research!! Users being forced to consent their info to Cloudfare in order to use the site is dumb! I'm done yapping, feel free to RB with your own thoughts / disagreements..

i wanna try a linux distro as a daily driver for a little bit but idk which one to use

[wintermage]

i'm smart, hardworking, and ambitious but it's all for nothing because i am a) physically incapable of applying any of the above traits to anything i'm not deeply interested in, and b) only interested in careers that make no money and will slowly kill me physically, emotionally, and spiritually

they should've never made ada a hacker (specifically with her intercepting luis' emails to his college friend & that one scene in damnation where she forces the elevator to svetlana's laboratory to open to help leon & sasha + herself escape the self destruction sequence she intentionally activated) because i've taken it now to mean (i watch way too many computer software review & repair videos) she will be annoying about her preferred linux distributions to anyone who will listen, fellow spies, hackers & whichever partner wakes up to ada typing away on her laptop in their living room looking like she hasn't slept the whole night
