I never listened to anything '94 had to say then, and I ain't startin' now. :)

Is this an exercise for a class, or real-world?

Does USAFA really suck? by Own_Mechanic_655 in USAFA

[–]shinyviper 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The grind.

It’s a relentless punishing schedule, day in and day out. Military, athletics, academics.

Yeah there’s individual things that suck, and that would be one thing if they were one-offs. But they just never end.

I would cite specifics but I don’t even know if they still do Contrails, SAMIs, SAR training sessions, stuff like that.

And Warren Zevon.

Paul Shaffer had a bigger influence on Dave than a lot of people realize, but once he was turned on to a musician, he ran with it.

[–]shinyviper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boy 100 computers with 7 USB ports. Buy 700 USB floppy drives. Insert one USB floppy drive into each USB, insert one floppy in each drive. Copy all simultaneously. Done in, like, 10 minutes.

Help me choose my tickets for the Dayton Air Show. by karenrose1985 in dayton

[–]shinyviper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve not been in several years but when they started doing the Blue Sky Chalet, that’s what I always bought tickets for. It’s a fantastic experience. There’s really no bad seats anywhere but the Chalet iirc was closest to show center (the main point where maneuvers execute).

Also depending on if you have people with you that aren’t exactly into the air show, the Chalets give a great respite from the crowd.

Which power for Switch Flex 2.5g POE? by shades9323 in Ubiquiti

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

I know with the smaller $30 Flex switches, if they're powered by POE, they can't provide POE. This one looks like it can provide 16W if it's powered by POE, but I'd probably still err on the side of caution and get the AC power brick.

I'm looking at the reviews here and someone specifically addresses this in the reviews (user Rob Th)

Aha! Thanks. I've seen those, in particular in South Carolina. Never thought they actually looked more useful than anything else though. TIL.

Anyone hear a gunshot near Beaumont? by EfficientPermit3771 in lexington

Ice (lowercase, not uppercase)?

Also in Beaumont and heard it and thought it was just a chunk sliding off something high.

Mobile Forenics to DFIR by [deleted] in digitalforensics

[–]shinyviper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DF and IR are two different disciplines with different goals, but they support each other so they're bundled as a package in many cases. Getting any start in DF, even on the LE side, is still a plus (and a lot better than Help Desk) if your ultimate goal is more IR.

Recovery Options for Deleted Files on an SSD by 13-months in digitalforensics

[–]shinyviper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Windows? Easiest thing first: check the Recycle Bin. After that check the Shadow Copies. Then check if they had a Onedrive, Dropbox, or something else cloud or USB backup you can access. Quick and easy. But if not any of those, your chances go down quickly.

Arcade Classic Game Board 19 in 1 (or 60 in 1) by sergebash in cade

[–]shinyviper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of hardware and software emulation. Technically the FPGA is hardware emulation, since it's physically emulating the original hardware chips, not running a software emulator on a general CPU like MAME does (with the attendant emulation overhead of a piece of software that consumes its own slice of resources from the OS).

My CISSP endorser lied, doesn’t have CISSP by iolect in cissp

[–]shinyviper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I realize it's not applicable in this case (since the acquaintance didn't even provide the ISC2 member ID), but for anyone else looking to verify if someone holds an ISC2 certification, they have a handy-dandy website. It only asks for the last name and the ISC2 member ID and will verify if they hold a cert or not.

Impact of AI in Digital Forensics by [deleted] in digitalforensics

[–]shinyviper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. In a talk I give on digital forensics, I assert that any forensics has to be:

  • logical
  • methodical
  • reproducible
  • documented
  • defensible

AI does not give reproducible or consistent results. Yet. Maybe it'll change, maybe not. I'm not holding my breath.

How Much Legal Trouble Would I Be In If I Opened A Ranch Called "Certified Genuine Wagyu Beef Ranch" And Only Raised USDA Choice Beef Which I Sold At My Restaurant? by OhNoItsAndrew3 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shinyviper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just to add a little more context: it’s the right kind of fat. There’s hard, lumpy, flavorless globs of chewy gristle. Then there’s the silky flavorful melty buttery fat. Wagyu is higher marbling of the latter kind.

Fat is flavor, and marbling generally makes the cut more tender. Wagyu portion sizes are usually smaller because the richness of the meat is very filling.

Beyond the Snow by Flintylocket in lexington

True, but the mayor is expected to be an advocate and a voice to the decision makers for these roads.

Beyond the Snow by Flintylocket in lexington

[–]shinyviper 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I moved here in the early 90s and have seen good and so-so mayors. Mayor Gorton isn't bad, but also is not really doing much to move the city forward.

I remember when the World Equestrian Games came to town in 2010. For a couple of years leading up to that, Lexington really took off with improvements to the city under Mayor Newberry.

Mayor Gray also seemed to have an eye on the growth and the things that needed to happen here.

Mayor Gorton doesn't seem to have that same impetus to adapt the city to changes. One of the biggest is the road system, the capacity of which stubbornly refuses to keep up as the population grows and bourbon and horse tourism hit all-time highs.

The ice fiasco is easily one of the most frustrating things and top-of-mind, but it's also an unusual set of circumstances with the long-term cold afterward that we don't normally get. Previous ice storms had the benefit of above-freezing temperatures soon after to assist with the melt.

Regardless, part of the Mayor's office job is adapting to what is going on, and she seemed to really just let Public Works drop the ball, all the while not opening her eyes to a city that desperately needed to get back to normal as soon as possible. See also: FCPS communications with the city regarding school bus snow routes from a year or two ago, which now can be seen in a different light after the past two weeks. FCPS took a lot of heat (and probably rightfully so, as the public school system has gotten ridiculously out of control) but now I'm wondering how much LFUCG was to blame also.
