In one interpretation, my name means "Jovial Protector", and that suits me just fine.
Most of what I do is covered under FriendDAs, so bring beer if you want to talk shop. #Blueteam
Into stuff like: Home Theater, PC Gaming, TTRPGs, and giving away beer at cons.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social Perfect. No notes.
"Possible social media personality or content creator, but insufficient recognition to confirm specific identity or notability."
On Portable AC units: If you're adding supplemental cooling this summer, here are a couple things to keep in mind.
- You absolutely want a Dual Hose design (hose in hose is ok). It's way more efficient. Single hose uses room air as the intake, creating negative pressure.
- The Energy Guide "Annual cost" dollar value on the box is for 8 hours a day for 3 months and is based on 13 cents per kWh. The rate in my area is almost 15 cents. Effectively you should consider the annual dollar amount on the box as a monthly amount to be safe. Double-check your utility rates as well. Even if you don't run it all day, your rates may be higher when you need it.
- Most dual hose units will simply evaporate the accumulated moisture, but draining is better if you can swing it.
Side note: The planet isn't getting any cooler. If a mini-split is simply out of reach, the new U-shaped window air conditioners are a little cheaper for the same cooling capacity, and are quieter due to putting the compressor outside. Keep in mind they shouldn't be left installed year round if you get sub-freezing temps in the winter.
Other side note: Higher end units can also be used as heat pumps, but it's important to understand if it's truly a heat pump or simply supplemental resistive heat+fan (just an integrated space heater).

@cR0w In a meeting last week I said that if the threat intelligence you send me isn't actionable, I'm just reading the news...

@cR0w@infosec.exchange Had some enjoyable conversations this week.
Me: Do we feel this windows event ID is important?
Them: Yes, it could be an indicator of recon.
Me: It sure could, but we have xyz covering that. This event costs us $10,000 a year. Is it worth that?
Them: No.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social If anyone finds this scenario odd, it's because this gun uses percussion primed cartridges, and the cam moves the firing pins as it rotates through the track.
Some other guns use electrically primed cartridges, which require DC voltage be applied. Stray volts are a thing though, so still not totally safe if powered off.
I need someone to explain to my dogs that spicy cheese is non-taxable.
I can't finish getting my windshield replaced because a cloud-hosted calibration app is down.

@da_667@infosec.exchange I thought that game was really fun but at some point I put it down because I could see myself getting nothing done on my list if I continued. Tons of replayability.

@da_667 Here's a 4 bedroom house on the north shore of Grand Cayman for half that available the first week of May :)

@da_667 We did something like this for our 20th wedding anniversary. Were fortunate enough to take the [small] original wedding party and their +1s as compensation for our crappy cheap wedding. Highly recommend this company. Direct 4 hour flight from ORD.
Replying to
@da_667 Yeah, for sure. The house we ended up going with was pretty pricey, but it was baller. 6 bedrooms and a private dock, rented a boat and they picked us up at the house.
Was able to get a private chef for a couple dinners at $100 a plate.

@dalias@hachyderm.io @Madagascar_Sky@mastodon.social @nixCraft@mastodon.social This is actually a good example of defense in depth. It's highly unlikely it would always fire when loaded with rounds just before the firing position. There's likely an arming/safety pin too. It's just better to assume it will.
@krypt3ia@infosec.exchange @da_667@infosec.exchange instead, I've been substituting "rejected".
It was a dark and stormy night.
