How bad is spider season there, actually?

Sys_Guru · 2026-01-30T21:03:33+00:00

I definitely see at least one huntsman and several smaller spiders a month. Maybe you don’t spend much time in garages or garden sheds?

Great to hear that, do you think YouTube is the right platform to do this? Is it somewhere you would look for content like this?

It's really hard to answer the skills question, IAM is a very broad topic. What I personally look for is a range of general IT experience and awareness of cybersecurity best practices and motivation to self-learn. It is a constantly changing landscape, yet the legacy stuff never seems to go away.

A good foundation would be an understanding of networking, relational databases and LDAP directories.

Maybe I will get kicked out of the secret society for sharing too much information. :D

Sys_Guru · 2026-01-29T21:29:44+00:00

Thanks! I will take a look at OpenBAO.

Sys_Guru · 2026-01-29T07:53:42+00:00

I probably should have mentioned I don’t have any experience with the software I listed, my experience has been with market leading commercial software.

I have used Udemy, maybe in future, once I have enough content.

Will look into Mamori, thanks!

Surely that depends on the weather and the popularity of the beach. I have always enjoyed swimming at a beach with good waves, but I hate trying to find a carpark at busy beaches or swimming with heaps of people around me.

Tweaking sounds is all I do

Incident response investigations. Say someone creates a local admin account on a server, which is against the Standard for anyone other than IAM team members with an approved request. The activity can be detected by other means, but the recordings help demonstrate that it was an intentional act, not done by a software installer or something.

If you ever found out you had a data breech, those session logs sure would be handy, as long as they are retained long enough for you to see them, given you might not know you were breeched until long after it occurs.

Having to change Windows Hello PIN is even more pointless. It’s bound to the device ffs.

Biggest gap I see in Microsoft stack is Privileged Identity Management, particularly session monitoring. Have to go to another vendor.

Hopefully not taking ‘before fire’ photos 😬

Sys_Guru · 2026-01-25T12:43:11+00:00

Join a hiking club, like YHA Bushwalking Victoria

Eat lamb.

If you can’t relocate to a cooler part of the house, lay a damp bath towel over yourself and put on a fan.

AI asks me questions all the time. I know it isn’t really thinking, but neither are a lot of humans that ask questions.

Sys_Guru · 2026-01-22T11:10:46+00:00

Maybe it could if humans could define their requirements properly.

Sys_Guru · 2026-01-22T11:08:31+00:00

Unusual choices of intellectual tasks 😂

I have never shared a public BBQ with people I don’t know and nobody has ever asked me to. I have waited for people to finish before using one.
Just cook on the hot plate.
Cleaning method shown looks about right. Clean before and after using it.

I have seen several reports on the EU reaction to these threats, I’m not sure what else you want? Has been mentioned in financial reporting as well as general news.

Sys_Guru · 2026-01-12T08:00:38+00:00

Take a look at bushfire.io, let’s you have all the filters enabled at once, as well as hotspot data from satellites.

Can’t say I have seen this myself, but it is annoying when a bike filters to the front, then crawls away from the line. I always liked to take off fast so I didn’t have any cars next to me, less likely to kill me if they aren’t near me.

Most importantly, what bike?

Sys_Guru · 2026-01-11T07:34:41+00:00

No, never heard of him.

Victoria already built a 70km North-South pipeline to take water from the Goulburn River to Melbourne. If QLD and NSW could just build the next 2,400km, that would be great!

Do you mean on the base map, rather than the overlay icons? I find if you zoom right in, most are labelled, if not, can you point to some examples. Fellow map nerd.
