I feel like I’m strapped to a seesaw I cant get off.

The highs and lows are killing me.

Let me get that WiFi

Let me guess your password

Hit me with that 5G, LTE, let me get on your network.

Let’s get connected and on the same bandwidth.

Yet, when presented with scientific facts or logical explanations that contradict those beliefs, suddenly the standard for proof becomes impossibly high.

It’s not really about evidence at that point, it’s about protecting the belief, even when the truth is right in front of them.

People are often willing to believe extraordinary claims, divine beings, miracles, holy texts etc without a shred of real evidence, simply because they were told it’s sacred or comforting.

Firewall? Reverse Proxy? WAF? MFA? Honey Pot? SIEM? XDR?, and desired state configuration? I got yah bruh.

I am threat hunting, doing file integrity monitoring, malware and DDoS monitoring.

This is just my home network….Im very bored right now and trying to stay sharp 😂

📊 Consistently inconsistent productivity

It's okay to take a break even if you don't think you deserve one. It's okay if you don't cross off every item on your to-do list. It's okay to not be productive every second of every day. You are a human, not a machine. It's okay. You're okay. @danidonovan

I’m starting to feel like I’m just a hammer for people to use when they need me.

But after that I’m not good enough until things have gotten so bad they need a hammer again.

Really makes you feel undervalued as a person and professional.

I’ve been recommending to any clients that can afford it to set up private cloud or some form of hybrid environment so when…not if…but when big cloud companies go down you have redundant systems and can still operate.

I’m glad too see my advice helped a few people this last week 😀

DNS issue?

Mmmmmm idk seems fishy to me.

Title: “ADHD conversations” Subtitle 1: Hyperactive Speech bubble to left looks frantic and says “rapid speech.” Bullets to the right read: excessive talking, speaks very quickly, gets off topic often, unintentionally loud, rambling, tangents, fidgets while being spoken to. Subtitle 2: Impulsive Speech bubble to left is cutting off someone else and reads “interrupting.” Bullets to the right read: Blurts out answers, impatient waiting for turn, lack of filter, quick emotional responses, inappropriate over-sharing, may unintentionally dominate conversations. Subtitle 3: Inattentive Speech bubble to left looks dreamy and says “zoning out.” Bullets to the right read: struggles to pay attention, becomes bored easily, forgets details, appears to ignore others, needs things to be repeated, distracted by background noise or external stimuli.

You’re not obligated to save anyone, there’s no risk of going to hell if people remain in ignorance or in need like religion would have you think.

But if someone is in need of help, or has asked for guidance or advice, provide it.

Don’t be a dick

I was that same person early in my career.

Over inflated ego, thought I knew everything. And holy shit it’s a rude awakening when you see billion dollar companies being ran by bubble gum and super glue fixes 😂

Let me give some sage advice.

You fuck up in a jr role and say accidentally delete a database we pick on you while we teach you how to restore a backup.

You fuck up in Sr. level roles and it’s your ass.

So would you rather be able to learn? Or would you rather be expected to know what you don’t?

This job market right now is tough.

I spent the last 15 years just getting jobs when ever I needed or wanted a new one.

But 300 resumes later not even an interview.

I see a lot of Jr and Entry level people applying for Sr. Level positions.

Everything turns on your assumptions about it, and that’s on you. You can pluck out the hasty judgement at will, and like steering a ship around a point, you will find calm seas, fair weather and a safe port - Marcus Aurelius

For this reason, particularly, we need discipline, in order to learn how to adapt the preconception of the rational and the irrational to the several things conformably to nature.”

and, on the contrary, attracted to nothing so much as to that which is rational. But the rational and the irrational appear such in a different way to different persons, just as the good and the bad, the profitable and the unprofitable.

Dammmmnn Epictetus goes hard.

“To hang yourself is not intolerable. When, then, you have the opinion that it is rational, you go and hang yourself. In short, if we observe, we shall find that the animal man is pained by nothing so much as by that which is irrational;

Keep this thought handy when you feel a bit of rage building.

Being gentle and having civility is much more human than giving into anger and discontent. It shows real strength, courage, and grit un like someone angry and non stop complaining.

Staring daggers at them burning holes in their skull with our death laser stares

But if you think about it, who is actually the rude one?

We’d rather be pissed off, bitter, fuming, and raging inside rather than risk any kind of awkward conversation that could actually help make the world a slightly better place.

We seem to expect people to magically be better without any kind of communication, and we can simply will them to change.

You might even feel like it’s taking everything to restrain yourself from blowing up on them or worse!

It’s crazy that we go to those places as humans before actually politely asking them to stop or making a minor scene of asking for a different place to sit.

The person sitting next to you in line or on the train, the one talking super loud or getting in your personal space.

You might be grinding your teeth about them, beginning to hate them from the depth of your entire being because you see them as rude, ignorant, or obnoxious.

Today let’s seek to be better than the things that disappoint or hurt us. Let’s try to be the example we’d like others to follow. It’s awful to be a cheat, to be selfish, to feel the need to inflict pain on others.

The best revenge is no revenge.
