  • Looks like there’s a metasploit available. You can use that on your router to see if it’s susceptible. A quick google search indicates that this is only successful on older routers without input validation.

    In general, follow good cyber security hygiene, and update the firmware on your router. If your router no longer is supported by the vendor (no more firmware updates for vulnerabilities found), then it’s old and you should upgrade.



  • I love coffee. I started with a French press, then moved to an areopress, then an espresso machine. I still use all 3, and experiment with what beans are best brewed with the different methods. Very fun hobby.

    I love tea as well. But it’s to relax after a stressful day. It’s a different vibe for me. I usually go for tisane or a mild green (sencha).

    The act of making coffee, opening the bean package, grinding the beans, preparing the brewing method, brewing, cleaning up, then enjoying the coffee is very zen for me. It’s like practicing mindfulness.

    I cannot have coffee after like 1pm without it keeping me awake. And I certainly would be climbing across the ceiling with 5 mugs of coffee.





  • Gloves, long sleeves, and pants. You’ll need pull the roots out, or you’ll be “pruning” the poison more often than you’d want.

    Poison ivy doesn’t like well manicured areas. If you’re walking through property that’s owned by others, I’ll make an assumption that you have permission. I’d talk to the owner and ask if you can take a weed whacker to the area around the path when it gets overgrown. Do that enough to keep it from overgrowing and it might find a new direction to grow.


  • I’d really like if this line of work wasn’t completely doom and gloom all the time. I’m burnt out of telling people what seems like extremely dramatic, doomed scenarios of the “state of security” all the time. I feel like I’m always the asshole in the room all the time.

    I’m assuming any risk management or actuary job is similar. It can be soul crushing sometimes.
