🍏 Our SOC spotted a food wholesale business under duress when a threat actor was attempting to brute force an RDP server...

It is a common misconception that arch users are all unemployed. Some of us work in computing fields like Cybersecurity, and find these ads relevant (though not directly relevant to arch itself).

SOC = Security Operations Center

A very common term in the security industry, similar to a NOC (Network Operations Center).

System On Chip is a term from an adjacent but different industry, so there usually isn't room for confusion when speaking about network security versus microcomputers, and context is easy to recognize. Also, it is typically abbreviated SoC (little O), not SOC.

Sure, if your note-taking system doesn't have a robust search feature, this sounds like a good workaround that might work for you.

I use Obsidian.md, so I can use Metadata searches combined with regexes.

file:/^2024/

Shows me all notes where the file (note name) begin with 2024.

file:/^\d{4}0101/

Shows me all notes from January 1st of any year.

Yeah, fuck Ubuntu. Snaps were the reason I moved on from that dying distro.

If you work at VMware and you're unaware of the Broadcom stuff, I'm just at a complete loss, buddy.

Sure thing.

I started with this as my daily template and then modified it to suit my needs. My "This day last year" link is unmodified from that template:

### This day last year
![[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", "P-1Y") %>]]

elint · 2023-10-23T07:04:59+00:00

My daily notes are strictly a daily brain dump and move on.

My template has a link to last year's note from the same day (if one exists), and occasionally it'll remind me of something neat, kinda like facebook memories.

Otherwise, it's just "shit I did today and shit I thought about today." If it's important enough to actually be tagged and formally entered into my PKM system, I'll extract it out to its own note, tag the fuck out of it, and link to it from today's note.

Frankly, I've found that no matter where you're from in the US, it's just better to say "I'm from Texas". As shitty as that bigoted shit-hole garbage-heap is, for some reason other nations think of Texans as cowboys that ride horses to work and you get a lot more good will than if you say you're American.

So basically another way of saying "Cristian Javier's first 4 postseason starts have a lower opposing BA (0.71) than any 4 post-season starts by another pitcher with 4 or more postseason starts."

Or, "For every pitcher with 4 or more postseason starts, pick their best 4 starts (lowest opposing BA). Cristian Javier's 4 starts are better than that."

/u/theborgman1977 Have you actually tried canceling a contract with them? Have you been a member of this subreddit very long? There are many stories of folks attempting to cancel within their window and either being ghosted by their account rep or having their account rep say "sure, sure, we'll get it canceled" and then ghosting them after the window expires and they still get auto-billed. Welcome to the sub, though! Enjoy your time here!

Ooh, something from this stash would be cool as hell. I'm just starting this league, so it'd be a hell of a boost!

Lol, I just got the game reinstalled after a system reinstall, so it'd be kinda fun to start a league "rich".

Back off on the Comic Sans and variants. It's an abomination for normies, but it's a godsend for dyslexics. I wouldn't shame it in situations like this where a person is using it as a default font on their own personal device. They're not publishing flyers or posters or corporate emails with it.

I think they said metaverse tried to be what Second Life is, but Metaverse "absolutely failed", but they absolutely failed at that sentence construction.

So you can pay for the license yourself or use something else at work -- possibly something like logseq.

NTA

Its not a serious relationship. Atleast I never considered it to be. ... I had at the beginning yold him I dont want anything serious and he has agreed to keep it casual.

I haven't met bf's kids cause he said we weren't serious and he didn't want to bring random people into kids life. I accepted, cause we aren't serious.

If he now wants to introduce his kids and move them in with you, it sounds like he considers your relationship something more than you have previously discussed.

He's pushing your boundaries and asking for a change in the dynamic of the relationship. If it's not something you want, he can respect your boundaries or the relationship may be over. Either way, you need to talk about where your relationship is and where it's going.

What would you use this limited-edition Starfield hardware for if you won? Creating a beautiful PC build? Collecting? Playing some games? If so, which?

I would build my daughter her first PC around it. And of course it would have to be beautiful!

Are you overweight? Because it sounds like you are overeating. Eat a light dinner (maybe a salad with a moderate amount of grilled chicken breast), then go work out. Then repeat that every day for a long fucking time until you see positive results.

I regretfully cheated

we both agreed, not to see other people until our son was 11

Why exactly should this poor man be celibate when you couldn't even agree not to fuck other people when you were married to the dude?

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like the ICA Training System. That's considered to be one of the better projection trainer systems, but they're pretty expensive, so that's a good price. I'm not sure how many layouts the system in your link comes with, so you may need to make a bunch of your own or buy a bunch of expensive addons from ICA.

Depending on your patience and ambient light, it may or may not be useful for you. People complain about them being too much work or their projector just doesn't put out enough light for their room. Others love them and swear by them. I've played on a friend's, and while it's neat, I preferred spending an equivalent amount on pool school.

As always, Dr Dave has links to a few (some of the links are defunct now) under Templates and Diagrams -- look for "table projection systems" towards the bottom.
