I sense this^ reply is crap.

Hey, can’t go have coffee with you because the water’s been cut and I can’t shower after the big dump I took. No flushing either =D.

(that’s how it went in my mind)

A droplet of rain once passed through a completely closed car window and hit me on the cheek.

And Xfce4 doing the light heavy lifting as usual.

Hmm I don’t know… Users usually don’t pay much attention to security. And the disclosure method actively hides it from the user until it no longer matters.

For providers, I understand, but can’t fully agree. I think it’s a misguided culture that creates busy-work at all levels.

Indeed, then it becomes a market and it incentivises more research on that area. Which I don’t think is helpful for anyone. It’s like your job description being “professional pessimist”. We could be putting that amount of effort into building more secure software to begin with.

That’s the fallacy I’m alluding to when I mention stuxnet. We have really well funded, well intentioned, intelligent people creating tools, techniques and overall knowledge in a field. Generally speaking, some of these findings are more makings then findings.

God, I hate security “researchers”. If I posted an article about how to poison everyone in my neighborhood, I’d be getting a knock on the door. This kind of shit doesn’t help anyone. “Oh but the state-funded attackers, remember stuxnet”. Fuck off.

It can be overwhelming, yes. But it’s not difficult. A bunch of dumb people go through it every day and they get to their destination just fine. =)

Don’t worry about anxiety, once you get there just focus on the next thing that needs to be done at any given moment and you’ll be ok. You’ll find that the brain gets into a problem-solving state and you’ll be landing in Korea before you even notice.

But then that’s me sending a message to past me and the messages can only go as far back as today, so that’s like me writing a message right now and then reading it right now.

So I need to be able to meet with the assassin and somehow send a message with location and date so that past me can avoid it. Repeat until the 7 days end.

I guess I’m also not smart enough. Sigh… Past self, I tried, but I don’t understand the rules, so we’re dead now.

How dare you!

Five bad things about Lemmy. You won’t believe the last one.

A bunch of sensible suggestions actually. Dammit.
