I run a tiny security consulting company, make hotsauce, watch cartoons and figured out how to weaponize home assistant. I found 118 dollars of btc in my garage.

I FOUND IT.
it took nearly four hours, but i found it.

thank you for coming along with me into the mines of my twitter archive to find this gif. dropbox deleted this, and many others when they 'just decided' to delete all locally stored files, making all the stuff you had exist only in the cloud.

i fired them for this, and replaced them with synology drive, that I sync over wireguard.

ill save you the click:
its because businesses in very large part do not give two shits about security, and the people who work in security feel like their jobs dont matter. when you discover that your leadership doesnt give a shit about you or your work, its incredibly demoralizing. why should you give a shit if nobody else does?

thank you for coming to my ted talk

anyone out there have a decent, non-janky way to edit PDFs on ubuntu? My cofounder just formatted to ubuntu and we're trying to avoid paying 155/mo to adobe for the "privilege" of being able to edit pdfs.

ive used stuff like xournal and master pdf, but its been a while and im not sure if those are 'the best ones' or even relevant anymore.

you have uploaded 75k lines of code - your entire codebase - to claude. it has given you code back that appears to run, but you only made sure it fired without errors.

there are hallucinations in it.
you dont know where.

good luck!
