I'm an all-around nerd and an open-source and OSINT enthusiast. This is my public non-political, techie account.

My wife says that I look like an ugly fish.

@fishfolkfriend @brockpierson I've actually been thinking about putting together a small BBS over SSH. No, it's not the same but it's not really feasible to pay for a landline phone line, take the time to set up the BBS, only to have a single person dial in once in a year.

[Weird J @usenetnerd]

@fishfolkfriend @brockpierson Yup, several servers are still going. Some have real humans on them.

@kmcnam1 Calling BS. I checked @Yahoo's hiring page, Indeed, and LinkedIn. This doesn't exist.

@vaxryy What is it with idiots that want to make everything political?

@eastblocvisuals Is this Bratislava? It really doesn't look like any of the Prague metro stations even after decades changes

What actually changed my life was learning to do things I hated every single day.

Some people read the early chapters of Troubled and say, “I can’t recognize this person. How does the teenage kid I’m reading about become the person I’m speaking to now?”

The answer is simple: if you spend eight years in the military, you’re going to change.

And it took all eight of those years for me to reshape my personality, my outlook, and my priorities to the point where I could function as a self-sufficient adult.

I initially enlisted for four years. One of the most important lessons I learned during that time was that motivation is overrated. It took me a long time to understand this, but motivation is just a feeling. Do I want to do this? Do I not want to do this? Do I feel inspired today?

Self-discipline matters more than motivation. Self-discipline means doing what needs to be done regardless of how you feel. It means sticking to healthy routines and making good decisions even when you don’t feel motivated. If you can string together enough productive days over a long enough period of time, your life will begin to improve.

What’s happening internally, in terms of motivation or lack of motivation, matters less than people think. The real question is: can you do it anyway?

At first, that discipline was imposed from the outside. In basic training, the instructors enforce structure and routine. But over time, that external discipline gradually becomes internal self-discipline.

Even after my first four years in the Air Force, from ages seventeen to twenty-one, I knew I still wasn’t ready to leave that rigid structure behind. I understood that I needed more time inside an environment that demanded responsibility and consistency from me. So I reenlisted for another four years.

By the time I was twenty-four or twenty-five, I was finally prepared.

@kmcnam1 Hey! Don't criticize my workflow!

[Weird J @usenetnerd]

@robkhenderson #1 criticize self-diagnoses. You will stir up hell itself.

@KasumiKriss When I first moved to Prague, I visited Penny Market in a working class neighborhood and was absolutely thrilled that they sold sandals with socks sewn into them. I loved the absolute disregard for fashion standards.

@robkhenderson Hi Rob, is there a term that describes those of us who broke out of that mold even though from the outside, it seems like we should have been sucked in like so many more?

[Weird J @usenetnerd]

Also, I don't use "ur".

@Avidityrecruit Hi Luke, I can't even get into a recruiter screening call. My resume is good and my experience is generally more than most people but I want to pivot into a rather niche area of Cybersecurity from DevOps and it's insanely hard to even get my foot in the door to talk to someone.

@learnk8s Does it natively work with podman also?

@GiaMMacool Charlie Brown isn't blacked pilled, in fact he's surprisingly optimistic but not in a naive sort of way. He's someone who get's crapped on a lot in life but he keeps going. Just because he's not sunshine and rainbows all the time, doesn't mean that he thinks everything is shit.
