  • I was dealing with a boot kit exploit a couple years back.

    On the great side (for me) Microsoft’s shitty fucking online installation requirements helped prompt me permanently switching to Linux.

    On the negative side the issues were still there.

    On the positive side I learned about air gapping a pc.

    On the native side the issues were still there.

    On the negative my self installed deadbolt was a waste of $40 because I forgot my fucking keys in it once and the issue was still there. Also I didn’t install it properly.

    On the positive side my new deadbolt evidently works.

    On the negative side it cost me $500 in addition to brand new hardware and the cost of a locksmith to install it securely.

    On the mixed side I epoxied my windows shut, which was a very elegant solution by my apartment being very easy to break in to.

    On the positive side I won’t even touch windows now, and my knowledge of how a pc and operating system works has increased exponentially under Linux and I actually understand a little bit of C, in addition to bash and Python, which is, awesome.

    On the positive my home is secure which is awesome.

    On the negative side: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

    On the mixed side I also no longer order from Amazon. Or order electronics from anywhere.














  • I’m cool with someone deciding to do this.

    I mean, I’ll decide not to go on the date, but that you do you.

    Your lack of ability to judge my character leading up to the date, and the general sense of paranoia leading to a decision like this, aren’t qualities I’m looking for in a partner.

    Neither is starting things from a place of outright suspicion. Like. I’m not judging. I just have zero interest.
