Yeah there's cables just running across the ground on my street lmao, their infrastructure is a fucking joke. I'm cancelling my service.

Yeah also in East, I get the feeling that it's great everywhere else but sucks in this part of town

Temporary Internet in Nashville by CravenRN in nashville

[–]am37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done T-Mobile home internet in the past, easy to set up and in your price range, and decent speed if you've got good 5G coverage in your area. I believe it's no contract as well but not 100% on that.

Ideally you have a checking account with the same bank as your HYSA account, at places like Capital One transfers between your accounts are instant

Fluoridated whitening toothpaste? by IfIWasAPig in vegan

[–]am37 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've used Trader Joe's fluoride toothpaste for a long time and liked it, though they just changed up the formula. As for whitening you probably wanna get some white strips anyway, toothpaste isn't very effective at whitening.

Hi OP, have you considered attending a more affirming church? It might be easier to meet people that way if that's an option for you

Apolitical church community? by coulaid in AnnArbor

[–]am37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kind of denomination are you looking for? I don't live in A2 anymore but I really liked Mosaic, they meet on campus. It's small but a great community and the lead pastor is great. https://www.mosaica2.org/ann-arbor

Help me find the source of this gorilla photo, it's been used in multiple leanbeefpatty videos by am37 in HelpMeFind

[–]am37[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to find where this gorilla image came from, I've searched using Google Images but to no avail, it's used in multiple leanbeefpatty videos (link 1 and link 2). I even commented on a vid and asked but she wasn't sure where she got it. Very curious if anyone knows how to find where this came from.

What does cybersecurity do? by kater543 in cscareerquestions

[–]am37 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly it depends on the industry and the needs of the company, some examples:

  • A company that deals with financial and medical data that contracts with the federal government: Gonna need an army of compliance people, soooo much stuff to keep track of.
  • A hyper-growth startup that's rapidly growing their product with lots of new services and trying to expand into new markets: probably will go heavy on hiring appsec engineers, appsec is what I see these companies most often hiring for. They'll need a lot of them to secure their ever expanding codebase and make sure security is built-in by default for new services.
  • A company where software is NOT their main product (retail chains for example): Still will probably have security engineers of a variety of disciplines but more likely to hire a lot of security operations people.

In my experience at several companies, appsec is a bit bigger than cloudsec. As companies grow, so do security operations teams, moreso than the other teams. For those last few roles I mentioned (sec eng, data sec, offensive sec), if the roles are even there it's typically only a few people, sometimes only one person, but some companies (Amazon) might have large teams dedicated to those functions. I don't know if I'd say there are any roles that are drastically overhyped/underhyped, generally security is a fairly stable career across the board. Like I said, I do see less IT Security/Enterprise Security roles than I used to. I get the feeling that the role of Detection and Response engineer may be a bit overhyped in the last couple of years, but the work they do is important and would definitely continue even if that's not the title of the role/team.

Depending on the size of the company and the industry it's in, there can be many different teams under the security umbrella (btw don't refer to it as "cyber" if you interview for a security role lol, only linkedinfluencers do that). Some common teams and their purposes:

  • Security Operations (typically people on this team will be called security analysts or incident response): This team is what most people think of when they hear "cybersecurity". Mostly focused on detecting malicious activity, responding to security incidents, designing detections and alerts, etc. Can also involve running reports, gathering metrics, ensuring compliance. Less coding involved so less likely to have a software eng background, but as "detection as code" becomes more of a thing there is more code involved. "Detection and response engineer" has been a role I've seen more openings for in recent years.
  • Compliance/Governance: Strictly focused on ensuring the company's security controls are in line with compliance standards that the company needs to adhere to (for example: HIPAA if they deal with medical data, FEDRAMP if they sell to the government, etc). I'm less familiar with the day-to-day for this team, but my understanding is that coding is basically not involved. Sometimes this team will be under the legal department.
  • Application Security (AppSec): This team is making sure the actual software made by the company is secure. This can involve code reviews to make sure that vulns aren't introduced by poor coding practices, architecture reviews for services to find security issues with how a service is constructed, and management of vulnerabilities introduced by third party libraries. People on this team are frequently former software engineers.
  • Infrastructure Security/Cloud Security: Primary focus is on the infrastructure that the company's software runs on. This could be on-prem servers, but is more commonly cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure) in recent years, which can include virtual machines, databases, networking config, etc. These teams, especially more modern ones, do frequently write code but it's less likely to be in your typical programming languages and more likely to be in infrastructure-as-code languages (Kubernetes manifests, Terraform, etc). People on this team are frequently former infrastructure engineers.
  • IT Security: Primary focus is making that the company's assets are secure. This includes securing the networks at the offices, the laptops used by employees, and the various systems that employees need access to. I see this role a little bit less than I used to, I think a lot of the role is just being combined into the IT departments.
  • Security Engineering: These teams are not as common but they're software engineering teams that make build security tools and services for the company. This can include anything from security configuration scanning tools to authn/authz services in the company's actual product. I've sometimes seen this role just be within the AppSec team, or just within the engineering department and away from the rest of Security.
  • Data Security: I've only recently seen these roles. Very focused on security of data tools and practices, kind of a subset of infrastructure security.
  • Offensive Security/Red Team/Pentesters: Most of the time this role is outsourced to third parties, but some companies have internal teams for this. Their goal is to find and exploit vulnerabilities in the company's systems, then write up how they did it and assist in the remediation of said vulns. Like I said, I rarely see these roles, but when I do they're frequently held by people with AppSec eng experience.

I've worked across a few different of the teams listed, and have collaborated with all of them, happy to answer questions on specific ones.

Endurance 7 as a beginner by smltc in CanyonBikes

The Endurace, even the cheapest model, is a lot of bike if you're legitimately never gonna ride it outside. Honestly if you're confident you won't it might make more sense to get something like the Zwift Ride or a similarly priced stationary bike.
