Why I just don't like Udemy. People learn differently. The problem with Packt publishing scams. Books might not be the best way to learn technical things. Consider TJ's advice: "rewrite something to see if you can learn from it and maybe even end up with something better."
I hate mechanical keyboards, here's why. And, yes, I'm just a "casual" gamer. I wish they had a "casual and proud" tee-shirt (but they don't), which, by the way, led to a rabbit-hole looking at all the different tee-shirts people buy, insights into how Mormon girls get away with wearing stuff that would show off their shoulders otherwise, and all the tee-shirts with the word "proud" on them, which led to a rant about the absolutely impossible to memorize LGBTQQIAAP acronym (which will probably change again by the time you read this). Yes, it's possible to hate the horribly stupid acronym without hating the people it represents. My favorite letter is I (intersex) because after watching Intersexion documentary I could no longer believe the absolutely preposterous claims of the Mormon church that God decreed there are only "male" and "female" humans.
My $350 StarTech KVM switch died after a year. Why the 'V' in KVM is unnecessary. Exploring other multiple computer/one keyboard and mouse options. Random hugs from wife Doris and dog. Life lessons learned for streaming: don't buy a green screen. Goals for good dialog. Bailey's in my coffee next time? Hummm.
Welcome to a new experimental, informal podcast. Looks like I'll keep the soap-boxing and ranting saved up for when I've been good and fueled up with coffee in the morning. This hour we talked about OPNsense/pfSense, security, cybersecurity jobs and the industry, and the importance of dialog and debate over caustic criticism and cancelling. I share how watching the debates/conversations between Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson have taught me that even in cases of extreme disagreement we can seek civil discourse. We even raided ThePrimeagen, with whom I disagree with a lot, but have a lot in common with as well. Both of us have just forgotten the drama from the past. It's just not worth it.
