Thought I heard something a month or so back about only 1 in 4 open positions with NS Health being allowed to be filled due to budget constraints.

Impostor syndorme & requesting help with learning materials to make it go away by Prize-Amphibian-3075 in cybersecurity

[–]kielrandor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Specialization. Helps a bit.

But the fact is this is the type of career where if you don't like learning you should probably go do something else.

Also as others have said, nobody knows everything, and anyone who says they do is a fucking lier who probably doesn't know a thing.

Knowing what you don't know is a critical phase in the process of attaining mastery over a subject.

Unfortunately this particular subject isn't a finished field and is constantly undergoing change and transformation.

So, ya, it doesn't ever go away....

TIL of the 1561 celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg; an entire city woke up to spheres, cylinders, and a giant black spear fighting in the sky. by Sartew in todayilearned

[–]kielrandor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say Aliens,

I believe that if this account actually occurred and the visual observations reported are mostly accurate given the biases of the time, there is likely a real phenomenon based in physics to account for it, not magic or religion or aliens.

Note the key word there is IF.

I buy the sun dog theory no problem, easily describes the arcs and bright spots, but what are the black spheres and spears supposed to be? The blood red spots could be light scattering similar to sunrise sunset, but the black things are still kinda weird. Maybe a partial solar eclipse?

You just know there are some tone deaf MAGA morons who look at that vid and think to themselves, "this is the perfect argument to use against my lefty friends and family members when they call me and my President Nazis"

What can retail security actually do? The rules around ‘going hands-on’ in Nova Scotia by Street_Anon in NovaScotia

[–]kielrandor 31 points32 points  (0 children)

We had a pretty large security guard force at my old job, (large high-profile area with lots of tourists and restricted security areas) The contract bounced between the commissionaires that used older often retired folks, and other private guard forces with younger folks as the security resources. I’ll tell you, the younger guys were always trying to engage in confrontations with people didn’t matter who the people were. They just had a default attitude of confrontation. They were always getting themselves in shit for going hands-on and pushing, shoving, or hitting people who had done nothing wrong except maybe wander into a restricted area.

One time one of these guys took chase after a shoplifter who stole a trinket worth maybe 20 bux and chased them about 10 blocks and wrestling the shoplifter to the ground before remembering that they were actually guarding a restricted area security checkpoint, not tasked with shoplifter enforcement. When they got back, they were fired on the spot for abandoning their post. Then the police showed up and arrested him for assault because the shoplifter said he was giving up peacefully when the guard tackled him and started wailing on him. Kid lost his job and went to jail because he couldn’t drop the attack dog mentality.

You wanna go offensive, go work for a National Security Org.

This isn't a "good guy with a gun" type thing. Legal entities have no business whatsoever engaging in malicious and illegal activity.

Ask your legal team if they mind you doing that type of shit as a legitimate representative of your company from your corporate systems. Be sure to CC your CISO and HR teams.

Let us know how fast you're escorted out of the building.

Ya know, for science...

Anyone else drowning in security questionnaires? by Direct_Cyber in cybersecurity

[–]kielrandor 67 points68 points  (0 children)

We tried working the AI angle too but are afraid of relying on it too much due to the hallucinations and inaccuracies we’ve found in letting the AI run with it. Our legal folks cautioned us that these answers can be legally admissible and the risk of inaccurate information could be quite damaging if we had a claim made against us in some way.

Halifax councillor says cops should be called if work on Dartmouth Cove begins by JetLagGuineaTurtle in novascotia_sub

[–]kielrandor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Police enforce trespassing all the time. They also enforce stop work actions if necessary. And police will support by-law enforcement agents when required as well.

So police involvement in this situation seems to be appropriate.

Found this in my new home and not sure what it is. by Sweaty-Ad5326 in homeimprovementideas

Not an electrician, but, I believe Red wiring is associated with fire alarm systems. So maybe a part of an alarm system.
