Second racknard. If you Google Black Friday special, you'll find the page where you can order a VPS with four gigs of RAM for something like $50 a year. It's not a 12-month special either, you can renew it year after year.

I run docker containers there, a Red Dead redemption 2 server, etc. It's really useful commodity server to have around,

No questions, but am in the final stages at two orgs for a CISO position. I've been offered a few, and turned them down (in office or low salary compared to responsibilities) but these last two are feeling just about right. I'm in that mix of anxious / unknown / hope, and enjoying it.

For all who are also applying/interviewing, may your interviews go well <3

And I do keep bumping into excel models for sale, or Excel add-ins. There's quite a few quants that'll do custom models for your scenarios for my price range, too - lookin' at you, cyberriskmodels.com and your $1200 Custom Models & Dashboards.

I'm more interested in the models and their uses than the buying of a new software. I have fixed scenarios where decisions need to be made, and just a little guidance on 'use this kind of model (or template excel sheet) for evaluating a new mobile app for a business unit, and this other kind for evaluating the risk of patching production workload servers outside of business hours during the busy season' would be great.

But yeah, the more I look the more I think it's not COTS. It's going to be buying hours with a quant and building models for our standard risk assessments. Which is fine, just good to know I 'spose.

Appreciate the reply. I do use RMFs, but I'm looking for specific analysis tools. For a given threat - data breach from a significant software update adding features - to model that risk quantitatively. I'll continue looking, but hoping to hear from someone on what they've used. I'll be sure to come back and share what I find as well.

 

I'm (finally) moving our organization towards more decision-based risk analysis rather than just "it's risk! omg!" Starting with software reviews in the acquisition process.

What are folks using for quantitative modeling? I'm thinking simple models that take into account organizational track record (aka number of x incidents in y timespan), industry track record (average of z incidents) and some kind of weighting factor.

I have a few options. I can hire a contractor to build some excel models for us. I can spend some money on a software tool, with some work if it's more than $1k. Or I can invest in books / pluralsight / etc to teach myself quantitative analysis, which will take longer to get done.

What're you folks using for this kind of stuff?

No, but after reading that article it's on my short list of books I'll be reading this month

Also search GitHub, several repos list failures.

What kind of company? I do this training for our public sector / state agency execs, and have a fairly well stocked slide deck currently I might be convinced to share

Also, damn nice illustration!

Yoga, for sure. I used to think it was just women stretching. Now I know it's for everyone, and it's more about strength than stretching. There are muscles that get worked in yoga that I have never known was there through mainstream weight lifting and strength training. Specifically my core and lower back. It's made a difference, although it took about a year for me.

Yes please, I'll take the soup kitchens and socialism

I looked into what happens in the meat industry, and found out it's actually pretty highly processed. It is incredibly disturbing the supply chain workflow that meat moves through

These all look amazing. I friggin love the creativity of the indie game community

Absolutely not. Windows 7 may still function, but it is a target for unpatched vulnerabilities. Attackers are actively seeking windows 7 hosts for remote code exploits, lateral movement, and privilege escalation.

Do not run Windows 7. Stop running Windows 10 after the end of life date next year.

 

Been running Fedora 40 for a few months, and having a hard time keeping Wayland as the desktop environment. Just did a fresh install, and the Nvidia driver updates to 555.58.02. I really want to stick with the Recommended branch, not the New Feature branch. Every update, Wayland breaks. How do I rollback to 550, and switch to the Recommended Branch for updates?

 

Hey smart peeps, I'm a remote worker who attends a lot of virtual meetings. I also sometimes create training videos or host training sessions, and my current earbuds are some $15 amazon cheapos.

I sometimes get feedback that people can hear my typing or the squeak of my chair.

I have about $200 budget to spend on some nicer headphones. When I search, I look for 'noise canceling' or 'background sound suppression', but only see more cheap headphones or some over-the-head headsets.

Are higher quality earbuds possible? What's out there that's a good product y'all might recommend?

If you're getting a new litter box and have access to a Cricut - then you, too can have a ribbon-cutting ceremony for your brand new Performing Arts Center
