Bi men, for men.

Having the new cookbook online grants access to just about everyone. Back in the day, finding a BBS that actually had a real copy was a chore and was part of the mystique.

To limit accessibility, you could used some dried out wood pulp and some kind of black, staining liquid for lettering. Actually needing a physical copy of something would probably be just as confusing for kids as it would be for the feds.

Since the only things sent via USPS these days is home refinancing opportunities and people asking for money, sending something useful through the mail would go unnoticed.

I have my doubts that China needs Russia for anything other than cheap oil and military weapons designs. With Russia tied up in Ukraine any posturing at this point is kind of a silly drill, IMHO.

Who knows… It could be something bigger later, but not now or for a few years after the Ukraine conflict is over.

This is the root cause analysis we live for.

I want to believe!

Or someone slapped their cock on it.

it’s an ad

Yay! Marketing!

Different characters pop up for a second or two.

It was something about a NASCAR event where the crowd started shouting “Fuck Biden” and one of the announcers covered by saying it sounded like “Let’s go Brandon”.

Confirmed fixed.

When you powered an old CRT down, the image would collapse to a single horizontal line, and then to a point.

I was thinking you could just cut the power to the deflecting coils.

Thanks. Got rid of it.

It would be close to infinite refresh rate as the electron beams wouldn’t need to move. Also, the phosphors in that spot would probably burn away in a few minutes resulting in no refresh rate at all.

Synth sims are the cheap way to go. Cardinal is an open source fork of VCV Rack. It can be used standalone or as a plugin with your favorite DAW.

All the concepts are the same as modular “euro rack” synths. Voltage lines, oscillators, the works. You even use “wires” to connect everything.

All YouTube tutorials for VCV are generally applicable to Cardinal, btw.

If you want to go the DAW route, it should work with the free version of FL Studio. It’s just much easier to do full tracks that way. However: FL Studio is not easy to learn and even less so when you are integrating something like Cardinal.

Edit: I apologize in advance if this post is the reason you fall into the money pit that is digital music.

She is the goddess of synthesizers and one of the first people I stumbled upon when I was learning about synths: https://youtu.be/UsW2EDGbDqg

I’ll bite. What is the appropriate level of cynicism when it comes to anything related to “corporate culture”?

If you are on Lemmy trying to change the world and tackle human issues, I fear that you have latched on to the wrong conduit for that. That takes action and stuff.

Putting yourself on the high ground and wagging your finger just puts you in troll territory. And no, your posts are far from “quality” or the slightest bit “respectful”.

Like, we go bomb the shit out of them and keep the country in limbo long enough for the power vacuum to be filled with a couple of larger terrorist groups?

It gets worse. Tech companies are service providers that typically work with a chain of other service providers. About 40%-50% of the controls for the last SOC2 audit I ran was carved out and deferred to our service providers. (Also, there are limited applicable frameworks: SOC2, PCI, ISO-270001, HIPAA and HITRUST are common for me, but usually related to cloud services.)

Yeah, I tend to break the brains of auditors that have never dealt with startups and have been used to Fortune 500 mega-companies. What’s funnier, is that I am just a lowly security engineer. A very experienced security engineer, but a lowly one nonetheless.

Auditor: So what is your documented process for this ?

Me: Uhh, we don’t have one?

Auditor: What about when X or Y catastrophic issue happens?

Me: Anyone just pushes this button and activates that widget.

Auditor: Ok. Uh. Is that process documented?

Me: Nope. We probably do it about 2-3 times a week anyway.

No, but you can teach a man to throw a fish to defeat a drone…

You aren’t wrong about my description. My direct experience with compliance is limited to small/medium tech companies where IT is the business. As long as there is an alternate work location and tech redundancy, the business can chug along as usual. (Data centers are becoming more rare so cloud redundancy is more important than ever.) Of course, there is still quite a bit that needs to be done depending on the type of emergency, as you described: It’s just all IT, customer and partner centric.

Unfortunately, that does make compliance an IT function because a majority of the company is in some IT engineering function, less sales and marketing.

I can’t speak to companies in different industries whereas you can. When physical products and manufacturing is at stake, that is way out of scope with what I could deal with.
