They primarily come in during late night (2am-7am) and on weekends. (I assuming they are timing the scans for when people in the US are usually not actively monitoring the network.) 2024-12-09T02:54:42+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz3dmy7zf7j93gq03gcr46lw2kqcxnnvpnm6rhpgjqzrlf5n5q5kszyztsge66jh7kjn5hfzatjfv3afew8sw27aw5pt3cgqlpwf3dttyuuk52ve3 Raid: Bad sectors on drive 2 have increased.<br/>Me: How bad?<br/>Raid: 231 bad sectors.<br/>(two hours later)<br/>Raid: Bad sectors on drive 2 have increased.<br/>Me: How bad?<br/>Raid: 751 bad sectors.<br/><br/>Okay, time to replace a drive. 2024-11-01T16:58:29+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsye23k50mcv2uaukwkudl09z48025cuuft44wd9wl9555jmns67zgzyztsge66jh7kjn5hfzatjfv3afew8sw27aw5pt3cgqlpwf3dttyuusa8r57 The Hacker Factor Blog: Repeat Offenders <a href="https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1045-Repeat-Offenders.html">https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1045-Repeat-Offenders.html</a> 2024-10-09T00:16:42+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswk8uns5qcmjwppcv49xe0nle4p00mh08zwvgkeyhz8ss9qgdpk8qzyztsge66jh7kjn5hfzatjfv3afew8sw27aw5pt3cgqlpwf3dttyuul0c8zl I keep hearing about AI being used to replace artists, writers, creators, editors, fact checkers, accountants, etc. How soon before AI replaces CEOs and other executives? 2024-09-03T21:12:54+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswsjttx0lau0tqctevfec302x9faklsvh030lumh9wey63nzch4nczyztsge66jh7kjn5hfzatjfv3afew8sw27aw5pt3cgqlpwf3dttyuu38cdpu Many years ago, I worked in a cubicle farm. We&#39;d do pranks when people took time off. For one of my coworkers, I had the department fill his cubicle with pink and blue balloons, some said &#34;It&#39;s a boy!&#34; or &#34;It&#39;s a girl!&#34;<br/><br/>One coworker remarked: &#34;I didn&#39;t know he was taking time off for a new child!&#34; My reply: &#34;Child? He&#39;s not even seeing anyone as far as I know! He&#39;s just on vacation.&#34; This is &#34;2 gross bags&#34; of balloons (almost 300).<br/> <img src="https://noc.social/system/media_attachments/files/113/036/433/161/209/807/original/ebc430c7d70a4c27.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-08-28T00:53:31+02:00
