    With a magic one size fits all solution that happens to also be a rootkit that by default rewrites itself on automatic updates.

    If you’re still with me please read about EBPF and why it can be used to do EDR style monitoring without a rootkit on any modern flavor of Linux. It can also be used to replace your monitoring and observability stack shims in your product. It was built by kernel developers and is already baked into your OS.




  • I think they meant stuff like pre workout mixes and post workout mixes. Hyper processed proteins, BCAAs, Caffiene, Beta Alanine, argenine, creatine, taurine, etc… followed by a chaser of a dozen or so pills like ZMA. Then of course the HGH, T, Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, & CJC-1295.

    Aside from the wealthiest, body builders generally destroy their hearts and bodies filling them up with dozens of cheap suspect supplements that don’t have solid lab testing. And they are always pushing new frontiers on shady pseudoscience to get a fresh edge with whatever side effects that has on longevity.

    Arnold got out before that part of the scene got super out of control. But even with him, you can see it in the way his forehead and gut shape have changed over time. The very clear signs he’s juiced, just probably under a lot more perfect control from medical professionals due to his wealth.


  • I had a dream of owning a proper sized tub. Finally bought a house and got all ready to upgrade the bathroom and it turns out the tub isn’t even the expensive part. After talking with about 5 different general contractors and engineers, we learned that to hold up a real tub, the whole fucking house basically has to be rebuilt with twice as thick beams and twice as many 2x4s. Even putting one down on the ground floor is a full upgrade to the beams and posts in the crawl space and basement. It was going to cost ~25-50k in re-engineering of the framing and associated removal and repair of drywall/plumbing/siding/insulation/electrical/trim/flooring/etc… plus reinforcing the stone foundation

    Turns out most houses built on the east coast between 1800 and 1950ish literally can’t have a good tub because water is super fucking heavy and these things are built out of toothpicks



  • Nobody seems to get this. Each time minimum wage goes up, employers balance that by splitting jobs over more people and make getting full time harder. They don’t have to provide benefits and they get more clout about how many jobs they create. It’s all upside for them.

    Real work reform would be providing benefits to everyone. If people get benefits directly from the government, then they get more negotiating power with their employers because moving between jobs is lower risk when you aren’t losing benefits as part of that.

    But pulling levers to raise wages is easier than redesigning the way we provide health, dental, vision, life, and retirement to our citizens so that’s what keeps happening and things just get more expensive in lock step.

    Meh. Whenever my warranty is about to expire I just ride the resale value and upgrade knowing I’ll sell the old one for a hundred bucks less than I paid for it and get a new warranty for the new phone. I get a new phone every two years for basically $200 and someone else buys my used one probably doing the same thing and selling their old one for $100 less than that.

    Over a decade I’ve spent one new phone’s worth of dollars for 5 phones.



  • Seconding the other comment, lots of orgs picked .lan and then over the last few years have moved things into the cloud and .lan has become a meaningless soup since half the shit isn’t even on local network. Now it just means “needs a vpn or ztn to talk to”

    Luckily my last three orgs finally bought a second domain for private dns. It’s quickly becoming a pattern that myorg.com owns myorg.tech or whatever for private traffic. Domains are cheap as fuck compared to everything else a business spends money on, it’s really silly how many people are using hacks for this
