That pay cap would hit at about $1.5m. I think that’s okay. I did some napkin math and eyeballed it to graph the proposed tax rates vs 2018’s marginal and effective (because that’s what was available): lemmy.zip/…/61835557-1968-4d28-be95-493de6de6900.…
It’s not the worst idea I’ve heard, but I’d want to scale by the number of taxpayers in each bracket to find out how much tax revenue we’d win or lose. A real congressional study would also consider what is considered “income” for tax purposes, and whether this would cause anyone to get creative with their compensation to avoid paying more tax (well, even more than they already do).

Twitter screenshot meme slactivism aside, it’s because private land is a limited resource. The more you keep for yourself, the more you pay (generally).

What fucking kind of school allows sales pitches in classes? Alignment with corporations is bad enough.
In the real world, companies generally don’t use them unless required. I’d recommend starting with the open-source products like wazuh.
- Comment on Wireshark tutorial: Capture vs. Display Filters 5 weeks ago:
I wish Wireshark had a filter builder. Display filters are fairly easy to write, because you can build them from captured packets and it makes suggestions as you type, but there’s nothing for the more important capture filters. Having two sets of syntax doesn’t help.

Same reason as the rest of college being expensive. The can charge whatever they want because the government will loan the money to pay for it.

No, I don’t know what the fuck a progressive-conservative is either.
- Comment on Farming for self sustainance 2 months ago:
Very realistic. You can do that right now. Lost of people around the world rely on subsistence farming.
But it’s not particularly enjoyable. And you’ll still be working a lot. Plants and animals don’t take days off.
- Comment on Arbitrator settles flight attendant wages at Air Canada, as labour dispute comes to official end 3 months ago:
So they’re still getting paid less than thair wage for work on the ground. At least they’re getting paid; I know some airlines don’t pay them for their work at all until the door closes.
- Comment on N00b wanting to get into this field - NL Cybersecurity 3 months ago:
In the US, the cert most often expected is sec+.
Generally you should look at job listings and work backwards from there. Most companies use software like nessus and splunk, and there are plenty of free alternatives to those and others that you can play around with.
Competency in networking (firewall rules/acls, routing, subnetting) and programming (python, powershell, bash, batch script) are a big benefit.
- Comment on Update: Remote Access Trojan backdoored through WINE 3 months ago:
That’s a lot of words and no actual evidence. Like you see 20copyfiles, but what does it actually do? You see privoxy installed, but how is it configured?
Like 80% of this is just you seeing something and making wild assumptions. Like a trivial google search for “kernel drop_monitor”, since I’ve never heard of it:
www.kernelconfig.io/CONFIG_NET_DROP_MONITOR
This feature provides an alerting service to userspace in the event that packets are discarded in the network stack.
I know remote-fs is normal because it’s part of every install I’ve seen: ubuntu-mate.community/t/…/24640
Neither of these are evidence of compromise.
And while privoxy can be used with tor, it’s by no means a good way to do anything, and certainly not the primary way to use Tor (that would be their own client).
The stuff clamav is picking up could certainly be malware, if you downloaded some cracked software or something. But as I mentioned last time, exploiting Linux via Wine is an extremely unlikely attack vector.
- Comment on Absolute disaster, RAT backdoored through WINE. Assistance with Docker 3 months ago:
Wine to Linux seems like an unlikely attack vector. What led you to believe you were compromised? I’m not sure what the screenshots are supposed to show, and the text file isn’t loading.
If you can share the evidence of compromise itself, or the disk images, I’d like to take a look at it.

- Comment on Breaking Bitlocker - Bypassing the Windows Disk Encryption 4 months ago:
People who prefer that much convenience vs security.
- Comment on Breaking Bitlocker - Bypassing the Windows Disk Encryption 4 months ago:
it is pretty much applicable to all devices using the default BitLocker “Device Encryption” setup, as this configuration relies solely on Secure Boot to automatically unseal the disk during boot.
That is, only the default “transparent” bitlocker mode. If you have any other additional protection (pin, password) set it doesn’t affect you.

- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 4 months ago:
Yeah, that’s probably because Kleiner knew the G-Man was involved in the interdimensional shit and had Gordon in stasis (or whatever), and he expected more warning when Gordon was on his way back, not just have him dropped on the doorstep, whereas the slow teleport was entirely experimental, accidental, and unexpected.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 4 months ago:
They don’t question it because all kinds of weird interdimensional shit is going down. But they absolutely react with surprise when you first show up.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 4 months ago:
The revolver’s first shot is dead center. Use your suit zoom and you can snipe a headshot.
Other than that, use the appropriate weapon. Soften them up or flush them out with grenades. Pop around a corner and hit them with both barrels of the shotgun. And don’t be afraid to use the quicksaves liberally.
HL and HL2 definitely aren’t polished AAAA game experiences, they’re experimental games from people trying to push the limits, so it’s natural that they don’t hold up to modern games. The modern games are standing on the shoulders of Half-Life (which stands on the shoulders of Quake, Doom, and Wolfenstein).
