I'm on the server floor of a "highly secure data center with 24/7/365 surveillance, direct access control and robust perimeter security".

An actual duck just walked by. 🦆

The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.

So, question for the hardware hacking community out there!

I'm looking at an ECE dual degree, for the sake of going down the hardware hacking path, anyone have any insights on this?

Getting a bit more pedantic...

Part of the confusion is that people think "trans" is a prefix. It isn't. Not in this usage, anyway. Yes, we say "trans-" and cis-" are just prefixes so you shouldn't be afraid of them. And that's true. They are. Sort of...

But when used in "trans woman", "trans" is not actually a prefix, it is a shortened form of the adjective "transgender". I'm not a "transwoman" because I'm not crossing over womanhood like one crosses the Atlantic Ocean on a transatlantic flight. In the word "transgender", it is serving as a prefix. The thing being crossed over is the gender binary, hence "transgender". "Trans woman" is just a shortened form of "transgender woman". Womanhood is not being crossed over, the gender binary is. Womanhood is the destination.

Awoo!

Hey Hacker Fam, this is day 2 of me asking for help.

Me and Kara really need to get out of Oklahoma with the results of the election, and with my inability to find work, one income just cannot get us to the point of being able to afford to move on our own. I am hoping with moving to Illinois, I will have my 3 CompTIA certs done hopefully (A+, Net+, and Sec+) and I'll be able to find some sort of work, and Kara will be able to keep working from home, doing IT support for a call center.
