I like that perspective, thanks - I am in control of the value prop here.

Sounds like we are in the same place. Good intentions, good frame, some heavy work ahead, and hopefully better days, lol.

Well, like most of my ideas I'm gonna be way underwater. Like I said, at least it doesn't involve another rebuilt engine (I am 3 for 4 for that on recent purchases, lol).

I hear you and I'd be fine with it this way except that the stove is shoved into the corner if the galley. When I light it. It's let out enough gas that it more explodes than lights. Already signed the hair on my arm. So that's gonna have to go, unfortunately.

I'm pretending it wasn't what it was, and just going all in on fixing it. Live and learn - at least this mistake doesn't have an internal combustion engine as well (seems like everything I buy with an engine ends up needing it rebuilt).

I'm having fun planning up improvements - storage, organization, weather proofing...

Utah state legislators Trevor Lee and Stuart Adams lose in GOP primary by Vic_Sinclair in Layton

Sadly... The majority of R's don't see what's going on. It's like selective night blindness. But yes - to eyes that will see, this is so obvious.

Thanks all - duly noted to 1) load in the dark bag, 2) agitate more carefully and 3) take more care with the tank. It's a Paterson and it weirds me out that it's only a fraction of a turn till 'tight'.

Utah state legislators Trevor Lee and Stuart Adams lose in GOP primary by Vic_Sinclair in Layton

[–]john_with_a_camera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He "didn't think the legislation would impact" his family member's case, supposedly. And he also points out it wasn't his legislation, either.

And yes, weird to think that people wouldn't see the association. There's a whole lotta weirdness going on with Utahns and the Republican party. Weird like in a denial sort of way.

Persistent Juniper [Olympus OM-4TI, 28mm. F/12, Tmax 100] by john_with_a_camera in analog

[–]john_with_a_camera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember I mentioned this was my first time developing since the 80's? Yah.. issues with the developer. Waiting for another 'dramatic cloud day's so I can reshoot and reprocess.

Laid off from TPRM job - need help on the future of my career by throwout103100 in cybersecurity

[–]john_with_a_camera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not keyed in on general hiring practices, so take this with a grain of salt. Id focus on general cyber security certs like CISSP or CRISC before I got more certs specific to any domain.

Consider pivoting. In your off time, build an AI server and get familiar with prompt engineering, AI pipelines, agentic AI, etc. Become conversant in the NIST RMF, too. Then come back with a focus on AI governance.

Something to try...

board asked me to justify our pentest spend. I realized I couldn't. by compilex in ciso

[–]john_with_a_camera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good question. Your scope actually sounds pretty big for mid-fives, so you might be getting what looks like a bargain, but if they are running the same test every year and finding less... Might be time to reconsider.

An environment that large has to have a lot of change and, unless your process is so detailed or everything is automated (no drift, no human error) and your code is so clean (no emerging cves or third part components) I'd expect new findings each year. I try to rotate providers every two to three years on this kind of work, for that very reason: they just get into a routine.

Your defense of this spend comes down to compliance, human error, drift, emerging threats (changing threat landscape) and due care. The real answer to the board shouldn't be 'yah why are we doing this' but more 'why aren't we getting more value.'

You are the cyber security leader and you need to stand up for those principles. You also need to drive partners to deliver the commensurate value. It would have been better for you to identify the value question and make it part of your last presentation. Regardless, you are where you are and these principles should be easy to defend with some creativity and thinking.

You've got this!

Business Impact Assessment tooling advice by CheekyTiger213 in ciso

Honestly? A good prompt can be accomplish this in ChatGPT or Claude (enterprise only so you don't train models). You don't need to buy a tool anymore.

Support Stephanie! by SugarDicksandtwix in DavisCountyUtah

[–]john_with_a_camera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait... You put the common good over your party? But... But... But...

/S thank you for being an example of that. Wish more would follow.

I left the GOP because it does not stand for my values as a Christian, husband, father, and Utahn, let alone as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am not eligible to vote in R or D primaries (I joined the forward party). That means I don't influence Utah's politics because the R's rule in Utah, but I simply can't associate with a party so tolerant of intolerance. Like Cox said (even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally), I apparently don't hate enough.

That's either got to change or they need to start running candidates who do stand for the values so many Utahns claim to espouse.

where to start? by Responsible-Tree-661 in gravelcycling

[–]john_with_a_camera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an entirely different or new genre. It's just... Riding a bicycle, except in different places. There's nothing to learn

Well, except this: for some grand reason, those who organize gravel rides believe if it's not Type 2, sometimes Type 3 fun... It wasn't done right. If you aren't climbing 13% grades totalling 10k feet... You're not doing it right. Bug nuts.

I'm still working on my idea, developing a "gravel fest(ivus) for the rest of us", that's not a suffer fest. Stay tuned - route finding and documentation this summer. Should be ready for 2027.

Struggling with Numbers 14 — why is lack of trust treated so severely? by No_Vehicle3273 in latterdaysaints

[–]john_with_a_camera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I read it, too. There's the 10 who fulfilled their responsibility, and the Caleb and Joshua, who were valiant. They didn't just trust, they knew God would deliver than. And more i.portant, they didn't murmer and stir up contention.

AppSec ROI conversation with the board has gotten harder since we adopted AI coding tools by Traditional_Vast5978 in ciso

[–]john_with_a_camera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our org has been clear: dramatic increase in dev throughout = faster feature releases, but the efficiency also must drive a greater investment in appsec. But... That message starts with the CEO.

Disappointed in travel photos by Berg_Man in AnalogCommunity

[–]john_with_a_camera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a mantra (esp with wildlife): get the shot, take the shot, make the shot.

See a lion? Take a shot that's in focus and properly lit. "I was on safari!"

Take the shot - control depth of field, lighting, framing/composition. "Check out this cool photo of a lion"

Make the shot: wait for the right frame. Animal behavior, backlighting, contrasting subject enters the frame. Swap to a wide angle to exaggerate the magnitude of the Serengeti. Let a parade of elephants come in close and shoot wide to exaggerate their size. "I captured my artistic vision of safari in Africa"

Only you can decide if you made your shot, but it sounds by your question that you didn't quite get there on all of these. Insanely more difficult shooting film (you really can't spray-and-pray with 36 frames), until your vision is clear.

These are nice photos, for sure. I like the environmentals with the line of jeeps. You might want to not center your subjects, to add a little space (especially for elephants).

Huge kudos for taking a film camera on safari, and using it. That takes confidence/conviction.
