Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

Depending on the display... I'd say seafoam green/teal is pretty accurate, it's just that the backgrounds he's against are very blue toned which swings him further that direction in context.

 

Squidward fits in that uncomfortable place where it turns out that most colour definitions are arbitrary and everything is a nightmare. Orange was called 'yellow-red' until the late 15th century.

IM A SECURITY PERSON AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME DISCOVER THIS OMFG.

 

ME TOOOOOOOOOO! SECURITY FRIEND?!?!?!

 

Though with both private contractors and the high presence of former intelligence agents in tech companies, we're starting to queer the Mossad/Not Mossad binary.

 

I mean as a security person I’m probably obligated to describe this as widespread doom come upon us, and there have been frightening events. But I still think “more practical security solutions for making basic protection accessible to the guy who spills an entire Coke on his laptop, at least until the Coke renders the point mostly moot and his data profoundly secure against the vast majority of people on the planet” would do a lot of good. If only because “I want to buy the world a Coke” is an exceedingly awkward professional outreach anthem if you don’t work for the Coca Cola Company.

 

im currently just a student but in an it security program so YAAAAS SECURITY FRIEND

 

...there's a chance I'm your sysadmin. K17?

 

nope, alas

 

!!!!! Awesome! I just graduated!!

 

I'm not a security person, I just use a password manager, encrypt my hard drive, and laugh/cry at people with security so bad even I wouldn't implement it.

 

You have been sorted firmly into the no-weeping category. You’re not in violation of HIPAA and probably would not be even if you were a U.S. citizen living in the U.S., you’re highly unlikely to be the responsible party should you happen to participate in any transaction that violates PCI standards, France is historically ahead of the curve with internet privacy laws so it’s lower on the weep chart as a whole anyway, and you don’t seem the type to go interfering with national or international infrastructure, trade, or governments.

And you haven’t forgotten to commit the running-config on a single Cisco device for which we share responsibility, nor have you ever fucked up my iptables rules “because the vpn doesn’t work with the drop at the end” or because you wanted to upgrade to a better solution that neither of us knows how to use. You have yet to hand me a network diagram where you attempted to assign an email server to a broadcast address, or made half your port labels illegible and the other half a clear indication that you were expecting a slightly different piece of hardware than the one we have.

So we’re golden!

 

I am a simple man, and merely wept with thanks when microsoft finally made it impossible to actually put your password in the 'password hint' field.

 

On behalf of the entire stalker ex community, I will say the "enter your birth date to reset your password" thing has been the best thing to ever happen to online security.

 

so your password is SUOIVED? thanks good 2 know

 

Now can we come up with a better way to make secure passwords than keysmash? bc I can´t remember those, defeating the purpose.
