Man these past two weeks have felt like decades. I know by design, but I'm so exhausted by what's going on.

The past 4 days have felt like 4 years to me. It's exhausting. There have been so many close calls around my employment and my family's wellbeing it's stressed me out like no other.
It's been about a year since I've posted about it, but I was able to earn my CISSP certification. A lot of what people told me here really did help. I was glad to have an employer that helped pay for materials as well. Thank you everyone over here who gave me great advice.

Q. What's the difference between a lightbulb and a CISO?
A. The lightbuld stops working when it's burned out.
Dan GoodinI'm doing my best to make my coverage of the xz backdoor accessible to laypeople while also providing the technical details engineers need. I'm also updating as new info becomes available. I hope it's helpful.,
Lisa MeltonTwo weeks ago, a build of Mastodon's Web interface removed two features which impacted me, other power users and some folks with accessibility issues.
And many of us complained 'cause, well, it kinda sucked.
But @renchap and the developers listened to us! And they didn't just back out those changes. No, they restored the functionality integrated with other new features.
So, I wanted to publicly thank them for all that hard work and landing it last week. Y'all rock! 💖

The only winners are the defense contractors.
Michael Clayberg@drapermache Retired CISSP here. Half can be book/course taught, experience really helps with the other ca. half as it’s a mindset cert more than a “I know these things” cert. So half of preparing is “trust your gut/ does this make good business sense” instead of rote memorization. I hope this helped.
My job is paying for me to get my CISSP, hurray! Anyone here have any recommendations for good resources? I’ve picked up the sybex book, but other than that not sure other good resources. My boss wanted me to take a book camp, but the budget is around 3k for all expenses, so I’m unsure if that’s feasible. Any recommendations would be awesome!
