#resources

if your intention is to be a cloud engineer or some sorta cloud specialization, the major providers have free academy dedicated to their vendor (like AWS educate) and that often comes with good free cloud resource tier.

but I am learning cloud computing to automate some stuff which can be useful later on. first had the idea from one of the Stok's interview on bug bounty. he basically conducts parallel network scans using Nmap on the cloud, by spinning up multiple VMs or droplets on a service like DigitalOcean with its own unique IP address so that he can run five parallel Nmap scans by giving five different IPs to each of his droplets. for example, if Stok was targeting a website hosted on the West Coast of the United States, he could deploy a droplet in a nearby data center and use the other droplets for different targets. this is distributed traffic and helps in reducing latency and avoiding detection by firewalls and IPS. so this is basically scanning at scale with minimized noise on a target. practically, this has challenges especially given that our instability in internet speed (writing this while my connection is being throttled lmao). plus, misconfiguration and multi-tenant issue might pose a risk for critical scans. generally speaking tho, cloud skills are a must

Don't forget to send me your questions for Jack Rhysider, you can get as technical and as personal as you'd like.

holiday spam here we come cuz days off

when seeing all this new devs doing challenges and creating projects day in and day out, it makes me wish for the obsession I once had for programming. I really didn't feel tired and I would take on any projects I might find interesting. Before AI and all the vibe coding jazz, I had to lookup for a solution on different blogs, books, videos and any resource accessible. If a solution seemed too naive, I would erase everything and implement the feature in a simple yet maintainable way. There was this project I had to keep track of object visibility and fire up an event every time the object is being focused or loses its focus. I wasn't happy with the solution at the time, and I ended up implementing everything in Section Observer API from scratch. It was basically my mini library for scroll events at the time. Apart from my toy programming language hahu, I tried recreating a 2d game engine, tried implementing a load balancer, and literally I was upto everything. If you ask me now, this is bad. You need to have a clear goal and tackle one thing at a time.

tl;dr

New devs progressing everyday, you're doing good and keep it up. You guys inspire a lot. I might even get back to programming lol

where it all began even though three cryptographers from the British signals intelligence agency have tried to show how public-key cryptography could be achieved in 1969. Diffie was a former chief security officer of Sun Microsystems (now Oracle), and Hellman was a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University. Both won the Turing award in 2015 for their contribution in public-key cryptography and digital signatures

TIL Mr Bean has a BSc in electronic and electrical engineering and MSc in electrical engineering. he was a PhD student at Oxford until he dropped out to pursue his acting career

takes maturity to back down when you're wrong. slowly developing that character. ggs smelly

We've seen a bunch of dorks on Twitter use this meme format to insert mathematics and physics stuff into the Chad thought bubble.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you've ever actually spent your day doing something "intellectual intensive", your brain requires brain rot. You physically cannot brain science non-stop everyday. Do gym bros stay in the gym 24/7? Do athletes train 24/7? No. You need down time. The brain is (in some capacity) a muscle too which requires training.

The only people we've seen brain science hardcore non-stop are one of the following (sometimes multiple):

1. Autistic nerds (not memeing), some autistic people have God levels of focus
2. ADHD nerds, if you get them on that weird hyper-focus stuff they'll lock in for like, 4 days and not bathe or eat
3. Nerds on drugs, more common than you'd think, but the nerds abusing amphetamines (or nootropics in general) lock in pretty hard too, until they crash out and they're worthless slabs of meat for like, a week or more

Anyway, the entire point of this micro-rant is to tell some of you to not be brain washed by pseudo-intellectual grifters on social media. The entire part of braining is to have fun, explore, and learn. It isn't a competition, it isn't a "lOoK hOw SmaRt i Am" competition, it isn't a race to who can do the newest and coolest research.

When you're bored of a video game do you force yourself to like it? Same as brain stuff — you might try to force yourself through the boring parts, but eventually you'll be like, "this shit is lame", and move onto something you like more.

Look at cat pictures, laugh at edgy memes, understand there is time for braining and there is time for brain rot.

Okay, talk to you later, love you, mwah kissies kissies
