I am outraged, a plea deal to avoid life imprisonment? What the fuck did I just read?!

This guy trafficked, raped and tortured her, and other underage women. Police did jack shit. And she was supposed to be watching him just walk away? Grotesque.

Best of luck everyone!

I would love to win one of the keys for the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Yes, I have been eyeing a soft switch into cybersecurity. Maybe not head-over-heels and maybe not entirely, but I do plan to have a significant part of my work to be in infosec.

For context, I am currently working as Tech Lead/Software Architect for a company that has a security-focused product (with an, as of today, 0 incident track record), but I work on design and scalability most days. When involved in security-related tasks, I mostly coordinate and sometimes implement security critical code under the guidance of our (small) security team.

I do have enough insight to have a positive impact on security related discussions on higher levels (think “lol, this proposed change opens up the endpoint to being exploited by x or y”) but not enough to discuss our cryptographic primitives.

In order to get my feet wet, I started doing THM (quite actively, yet I’ve hit a rut with the Windows-focused buffer overflow rooms), and I can say I enjoy it more than I expected.

However, I am unsure what concrete steps I should take after THM.

I’ve been thinking of working towards the OSCP exam, but honestly the certification landscape is quite confusing.

I am a happy backblaze user and generally I’ve only heard good things about them.

They do have multiple data centers and they are operating B2B products too.

Is there anything in particular that would make you think they could be unreliable?

Still doing lessons and challenges on THM, 2 months in.
