  • It’s shocking.

    Whenever we work with a 3rd party vendor and run through the efforts to harden the systems, they freak out because it always breaks their app. Then we go through the whole handholding process of getting their apps to work within our hardened environment. It ends with them not taking anything into account. App works, system is hardened. Then when it’s time to update the system, they get involved and it’s always back to square one.

    Like get the fuck on board with security if you are selling a software product. It’s mind boggling thinking about how all their other customers just let them away with such exposed shitty communication and unencrypted passwords.












  • That’s an interesting take and would have been much harder to digest if I saw a comment like that on reddit. However, most of the things I was viewing were all doom and gloom with some exceptions.

    I would start the day, looking at doom and gloom and wonder why my anxiety and stress seemed to coincide at the same time. 2 days now and I can clearly see how even scrolling through that stuff was bad for my mental health. I’m still interested in keeping an eye on news but not to that same level again. I kind of feel reset if that makes any sense. While I think the CEO is a dumbass for doing that, I think as time goes on, I might actually be thankful that it happened.

    Either way, realizing now how the constant scrolling was a negative impact for me, and dipped my bucket every single morning, I am now aware and can try to learn from it.



  • Exactly my scenario. They really fucked the chicken up with the move to charge for API access.

    It’s amazing how history always finds a way of repeating itself. The ignorance to not acknowledge what happened to digg, and what sent so many to deadit is laughable. I would be very interested to see what traffic looks like now to reddit, and how much of it is coming from their app, which I think they said they will start charging a monthly subscription fee for. That CEO should have the cheese touch after that debacle.
