RIP FreeBSD. Wonder what the "Unknown" ones are though.

I've actually just done a bit of digging on it and it seems that CISSP is used in Canada, so I might pull the trigger on that. I'm also considering Unixguy's GRC Mastery course. Happen to know anything about it? I don't think it counts as a certification proper, but it might be good to show employers what I'm interested in and that I've already put in some work.

No certs as of current. Trying to figure out if there's even an entry-level pathway available before I dump more money into education. NIST and ISA: are these international certs or America specific? The latter won't help me much unless I get a remote job. As for regulations, that should be easy enough. I'm already good at research, so.

Not American, but hopefully someone else can take inspiration from this. I'll look into help desk positions, thanks for the tip.

 

I'm looking to start a career in GRC. Been searching a bunch of different things (e.g. cybersecurity internal audit, GRC analyst, cyber audit, risk analyst, etc.) but everything that's coming up is mid-senior positions, manager positions, etc.

I wish there was more focus on the reasons why arbitration had to be forced. Our rail and its workers, and therefore our entire economy, is held hostage by two (two!!) companies. I think it's high time they were split up.

Idk about American universities, but C++ was taught at Memorial University of Newfoundland when I attended 8 years ago. Granted it was a robotics class so maybe it's different. Either way, makes more sense to me to learn C/C++ since most things are programmed in that.

Interesting, but means little without accreditation.

EDIT: Also, why's it all Java?

EDIT2: Addressing the downvotes: If you really think that any employer these days is going to be happy with "Learned from a list on Github" on your resume then you're sorely mistaken. It doesn't matter if the courses match an accredited program. The accreditation is what matters because no accreditation = no diploma. Employers like diplomas.

What's stopping Windows from banning WINE if this is the case?

If there was widespread backing by powerful, moneyed agents then it would stop being 1%. The EU is currently experimenting with digital sovereignty. They could adopt Linux and make a EUnix (Yoo-Nix) that is on par with Windows in terms of features and ease of use.

Love it. Book 5 in December :))))

Not blocked for me, so no

EDIT: Also, is that a Stormlight reference?

Damn bro, why does the firefox logo look like a Finnish spitz

 

This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google fuckery in the BIOS. But it's great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I'd love it.

 

Picture for nutritional info.

 

Reading up on One Big Union. The Wikipedia article mentions that at the end of its days it was generating income via a lottery in its bulletin. This gave me an idea.

In the interest of diversifying news media, strengthening journalistic practices and integrity, creating non-partisan news coverage, and giving Canadian works a national outlet for publishing, I would like to start an online newspaper. However, I would like to limit ads since I find them distasteful at best and compromising at worst. This leaves subscription income and one-off purchases as the main revenue sources.

The issue with this is that people don't purchase news media anymore. They either look at an ad-supported website or they wait for someone else to buy a paywalled article and copypaste it somewhere. So the issue with a non-ad-supported model is that there's no incentive to buy. Hence, a lottery a la a 50/50 draw or some such. This would give people incentive to buy, increasing the circulation of the newspaper. So I'm hoping someone might be able to provide some insight into the matter.
