Bad memory?
Happily I can report that I’ll be doing some SELINUX training in the near future... watch this space!

I’m now picturing @bettersafetynet strapped to a chair ala “Clockwork Orange” and forced to watch Lego movies while the tri-tone plays endlessly in the background.

Unix/Linux power users... what your "oh I can unix now" moment? I'm thinking it was either when I leveled up in AWK... or when I started making good -- and routine -- use of xargs.

Solar Winds, VMware RCE, and now Exchange—is there anybody in IT who isn’t going to have a busy weekend? Pace yourselves, my friends, it’s a marathon not a sprint.

Wild thing is the kid could have kept doing it if he didn't feel the need to tell everyone about it. Ego is the enemy my guy. Anyway - Breaking down things like this is my jam, and I tweet about business, cards, and weed the rest of the time. Smash that follow > @landforce

Imagine a SciFi scenario where a machine could quickly/painlessly change your height/weight, visible ethnic characteristics, and sexual characteristics whenever you wanted. Would this end racism/sexism as we know it or just lay bare the fact that the real divide is rich vs poor?

THREAD: Lots of us learned classical music from watching old cartoons, so I’m going to identify the pieces that frequently popped up. One of the most recognizable is Franz Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2,” performed by those great piano virtuosos Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry.

Q: How do you pronounce “CISO”? A: “Scapegoat”

Observation: CISOs are single use, like a naval distress flare. You let them off when the boat springs a leak, then drop them when they burn out.
