How do you secure your home network/pc?
So I'm a baby dev, still in Uni and they don't allow internships in 4th year due to some issues with it so not even that exp wise.
I don't know enough, and I'm trying to learn but there's so much! My Uni degree doesn't cover security at all. Which is shit, bc I think I want to work in that? Mostly I'm just spooked and want to understand everything I can 'cause I love the internet and want to feel safer wandering about it.
I'm scared of clicking on links. Even ones here, like there was a post about a book list earlier and I was just there like "Cmoon.... someone please have posted the lissssst."
Would anyone be willing to share what they do for their own security? Especially if it's ridiculously over the top. Included reasonings and details would be adored!
Also, if anyone has any books or references that might be good for learning sec from a programmatic view rather than a IT view I'd really love that! Anything at all.
Regardless, hope anyone reading this has an absolutely wo

Fucking love your example dude.
I've found ChatGPT3 OK for low level stuff, but I stopped using it pretty quickly once I went to trying to get it to help build intermediate stuff.
If its making errors in simple script design, it can't handle more.
It is fab for the basics, but I wouldn't truste it for learning anything else more complex for exactly the reasons you said.
Be liable to write my own backdoors that way hahah
Hi there more experienced person, would you mind explaining the intricacies of the madness for a lowly n00b?
Is it just 'cause it'd need the client to be constantly running to output the scheduling? So like, you set it to schedule a post and then you have to actually open it as an app before it would actually work if it wasn't running in the background when the time ticked over? Is there more to it? Any and all details you'd be willing to explain would be appreciated.
Regardless, I hope you have a lovely day and best of luck with everything you're doing!
Anyone know a good guide on how to read Malwarebytes logs or... something?
Know this isn't technically Dev, sorry in advance.
I keep getting outbound malware alerts when I browse global. Today it's lemmy.today, last week it was another instance etc.
I'm interested in learning more about sec, and while I've looked at the JSON logs and tried googling "What does threat id -1 mean" etc., I can't seem to find anything.
I'm kind of just curious about what, specifically, the threat was and what it was trying to do - but the logs seem pretty blank. As mentioned above, the id is -1 and the name is blank.
Anyone know a good guide, or something, to read up or... better questions to ask?
Thank you for your time and hav a wonderful day. :)
This is my new headcanon
The shields are powered by plot armour in an emergency. It's an incredibly powerful force.
This is my new headcanon
Not a problem, divert power from everything, backwards facing shields to maximum then surf the wave.
Then you just gotta' deal with wherever the fuck you end up in the middle of space without a warp core.

No worries! I have the same alert wise. Prefer to check in my own time.
Sent you a friend request on Discord. :)
Dude you joke, but I wanna' do that someday. Down to the fuckin' smelting. Soon as I don't think I'll set everything on fire by trying.
Would you mind terribly if I messaged you for some advice/with some questions? It's ok if not, your posts have given me a bunch to think about/work on! But if you have the time and inclination I'd love to pick your brain. :)
EDIT: Oh and tyvm for your response! Loads of great points :D
DOUBLE EDIT: Incase you're not ok with me messaging!
Can't see your post while I respond so apologies if I miss anything.
- Resume: Sugar, I'll get on that. I only have a single one with my previous job exp and college/a couple courses on it. Need to do more mid to large scale projects for a portfolio (that's the job for the next couple weeks!)
- LinkedIn: I have one, haven't updated it in a long time and don't have many connects but should be able to get a whole bunch when the new semester starts in September. I'll ask some friends who I've done some work for to verify my skills - think I only have one in Java rn. Will update. 👌
- Open Source/VCS: Do you mean making projects myself and throwing them online, or joining other ones to help? I'm a bit anxious about doing the latter but have been trying to gear myself up to it. The former, I'm currently designing a couple small to mid tier projects for a portfolio that I was planning to put up on GitHub. Would that work? Outside of that, I've been trying to ensure I make as many commits as I can - though realistically I only have about 4 green boxes a week since May-ish and recently took a 2 week break to study for something else.
- Stack Overflow: Never joined Stack Overflow - but I'll consider doing so per your advice.
- Leetcode/Hackerrank: I've kind of shot myself in the foot by having switched accounts... Repeatedly. I think my newest one is about 2m old? I'll work on trying to be consistent and burning my way through what I can. Need to go over algos again pretty badly anyway.
Out of curiosity, on your first point about the mid-senior; do you think that's nepotism, CHA skill or something else that allows them to get to that position without the skills to back it up?
Also for clarification on your second point; by good enough do you mean the job is good enough, or my own skillset?
Can I ask how you found that? My uni course is fully remote, so I can't just pop into an office and ask or see a flier 'cause it's on the other side of the country from me.
Man, I'm really starting to regret being so bad at social media. That's might be where I should look now that I think on it.
Final year of Uni, need to get a job.
So I'm going into my final year of Uni, passed the first semester with distinction. Unfortunately had to defer for a couple years but kept up studying since.
My job ended due to the unexpected passing of my boss. It was a great gig, WFH, flexible hours and not great, but decent pay. Not programming, though.
I need money to get through the year - and honestly, I really don't want to work at anything other than programming.
I'm not even that good. I know what SOLID principles & RESTful services are - but not really how to implement them. I've grinded a bit of leetcode and hackerrank and try my best to learn from the highest rated results only after finishing the assignment on my own. Can solve medium tier Q's, badly and inefficiently.
I know some Java, but only vanilla. I've used python a bit more, but mostly due to all the API's available for it. I know basic JS, HTML and CSS. I can set up a docker instance, but I haven't delved into it because I need to better understand the
Tysm for your response! Really appreciate it (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。
My bad, I was mostly curious about how it matched OP's project better and why.
When you say it does it properly, do you mean actually creating proper threads or something else?
If you have time (and the inclination!), would you mind explaining why Java's primitives aren't as good as Node visa vie Async ops?
The Odin Project has a Ruby on Rails track if you're interested :)
I post my code to GitHub so when I'm eventually good enough to get a job I can pretend I'm hardworking by having lots of commits in private repos.
git commit -m "Added a new string to X class."

I might be taking over at a job for a friend who's leaving the country. Not programming, but IT and Sec.
I was concerned about my lack of exp.
They told me just to use ChatGPT 'cause that's what they do.
They don't even have .exe files blocked for users.
I'm now far more concerned about the state of the networks I'll be taking over. Going to be doing a full security audit as soon as I'm up to speed.

Just because I'm a pedantic fuck, you *overestimated not underestimated.
I'm glad you're ok though.
Am I being an unrealistic idiot?
'Sup! Hope everyone is having an awesome day.
**TLDR; I'm a disaster of a human, hoping to set up as self-employed doing webdev to avoid dealing with other humans/health issues. Still a baby dev and wondering if that's just a selfish and dumbass idea.
So I'm currently finishing up on The Odin Project. I've been programming for about 4 years now, but avoided learning JS or anything close to that because I didn't want to be forcibly shunted into WebDev. I managed to get accepted straight into 4th of a programming Bsc, and was doing great (70%+ on all assignments/projects) until a psychopath I used to live with smashed my computer with a mallet. Due to the financial cost of that, having to flee a country and set myself back up, my savings are fucking gonnnneee. That and I had to defer college for the year 'cause, well, no computer.
I have a litany of chronic health issues that're only getting worse with time. I can't even control whether or not I'll wake up on any particular day - as a
Thanks for your comment. Would've gone around think it meant that forever without it. :')
Ty, I actually was. ( ；∀；)
What does Kys mean? :o
