What if I’m not wearing pants?

No joke, I thought for a second you were referring to Infinite Solutions and were trolling hardcore. I haven’t thought about that in a long time.

It’s an odd position to be in; I work in the private sector but my company deals almost exclusively with government and NGO contracts, so at times I feel like I’m public sector.

What I’ve noticed is that even though the desired outcome is nearly identical for both sectors, the buzz words associated with each is what determines who responds to my job applications. As an example:

Private: IaC and Policy-as-Code, supply chain and software composition analysis, SAST, DAST, etc.

Public: Compliance automation, risk management frameworks, risk quantification (this one has generated a lot of excitement recently), etc.

This is purely anecdotal, but you may find adjusting your resume to include some of these buzzwords as applicable to the industry to which you are applying may help you get your foot in the door.

To reiterate, yes I know in the end all of these companies strive toward the same goals, whether it be passing audits or being able to demonstrate prudent security practices to clients, sometimes the hiring manager is looking for specific terminology and will discard any applications that exclude it.

SpyPhone?

One of my home servers was popped once, they stuck a new MOTD on there to let me know how foolish I was and I haven’t made that mistake since. So… yay greyhat?

For Chiefly reasons of course. Now whether or not that server is active in the cluster is another matter entirely, but hey if it makes him/her feel important /shrug

Figure ~45 minutes to run to the liquor store for a decent single malt, another ~25 minutes for the pizza rolls, quick power nap, wake up and redeploy. That’s about 2 hours.

That joke lands better when spoken

That was a joke in reference to the Van Halen album 5150, which in fact did not include the track Hot for Teacher, as that was on the album 1984, and I was being facetious.

5150 is also the name of Eddie (and subsequently Wolfgang) Van Halen’s recording studio where 1984 and many other seminal albums were recorded.

The studio was named after Section 5150 of the Welfare Code of California which allows officers or mental health professionals to detain individuals for involuntary psychiatric holds.

Pretty sure it’s a reference to Van Halen’s Hot For Teacher

As with all wig jokes, this went over my head

This is gross. I love it.

Totally justified.
