  Or companies do hire security, but the security team is incompetent and unable/unwilling to adapt to new challenges. Then it devolves into security theater, until either someone new comes who cleans house or a breach happens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Reddit was first becoming popular, were it's communities and content basically just clones of other websites like Digg?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t recall Reddit having unique content - what I do remember however was that it had aggregated content. It filled the role of Slashdot, Fark, and other sites, and it had a comment threading system that was far more usable. The memes came after.

  So… Seven Samurai in space?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Hardening - what are you must-haves?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The CIS benchmarks for Linux are a good start. There are some off the shelf tools that let you run those, notably linux-bench. Another tool in a similar fashion is lynis. You can also use eBPF tools like callander to examine your workload behaviour and help tighten your seccomp policies.

  Once you’ve established a baseline for your system, you’ll next want to harden your environment. This means network scans, OWASP, etc. As far as off the shelf tools go, OpenVAS is quite popular even in Enterprise environments.

  Finally there’s the continuous security tasks. Continuous package updates, runtime security, log analysis, etc. There are some free tools that cover part of this like Security Onion, but if the price is right a SaaS tool can save you a lot of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is real estate "real?"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It relates to “real” (physical, tangible, immovable or inseparable) property pertaining to land. In other words land plus buildings and resources attached to it. It contrasts with personal property and intellectual property.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do poor people in the states give birth without money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also the fact that credit rating agencies in North America have hardly any supervision and are prone to make mistakes because they take correlated data by face value.

  Getting awfully close to raclette territory there.
