Disney heiress slams ‘Silicon Valley’ star for his ‘thirsty’ Instagram photo — then she reads his caption.

He writes in his post:

I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel’s Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked. I would not have been able to do this if I didn’t have a full year with the best trainers and nutritionists paid for by the biggest studio in the world.

That’s just not true. Sure, it helps, and though I don’t quite look that jacked yet, I am getting close. And I’d look a lot more like that if I cut (lost weight) for a few weeks, which would be inimical to my goal of building muscle.

I had no personal trainer, no studio paying for anything, and I was working a full-time job. It just takes will and time, showing up and doing the fucking work. That’s it.

Army Facebook post featuring Nazi war criminal sparks pushback.

This is something I’ve noticed recently — that any depiction of any negative part of the past, no matter its intent or relevance, sparks a backlash just for being mentioned at all. It’s wokesterism infecting everything, and it prevents any lessons of the past from being transmitted to the future. Too many people would just prefer that we forget it all, redact it, as if that will help anything at all.

It’s congruent with the belief that everything should be “cancelled” if it didn’t agree with the latest cultural and social justice fashions and obsessions of the last 15 minutes.

SMB blocked by firewall or fileshare logging is turned on, but you want to transfer a file more quietly to a server?
Copy-Item can copy over the WinRM communication channel, no SMB involved.

Someone else figured out one of my tricks! Cool. It’s a really great one.

It’s caused more than one person to say to me, “We have SMB completely blocked, as well as all copy and paste functionality. So how did you move those files from that server to the other server?”

But I hope not too many people find out about it because I use it to do things people think I shouldn’t (but need for my job) all the time.

Someone was just asking me for the actual NIST link/resource/verbiage that killed 20 years of painful password complexity and expiration. Here it is again, buried in 300 pages. https://t.co/zkdyaTyYL1 pic.twitter.com/7GryX9C7ui

All that was always crap anyway, and when I pushed back against it during the past 10 years at places I’ve worked, have been told that I was wrong and doing anything that actually made sense would be insecure.

But I was right; just most people want to be told what to think by “experts,” even when the experts are really not.

I always said that users would just write their passwords down and put them under their keyboards or in their desk drawers, which is exactly what happens. Passwords are terrible, anyway, but all the alternatives are also pretty bad. We’ll be stuck with them for a while. However, combined with MFA they can be made pretty secure.

Lately I’ve noticed some Democratic politicians defending the current healthcare system by saying it preserves “choice” for Americans. As a former health insurance exec who helped draft this talking point, I need to come clean on its back story, and why it's wrong and a trap 1/11

So many propaganda victims in the US. Here’s a former propaganda generator telling you why most of what most Americans believe about health care is in fact sponsored lies.
