soatok, 23 days ago Something I detest: Defeatist people who ass-moan whenever someone talks about changing something. "You won't succeed" "The fight's already lost" "Why bother?" Fuuuuuuuuuck you. I hate that pointless negativity. Yes, I will probably fail. A lot! Maybe you've already tried before and failed, or maybe someone you know has. Do you know what failures are? Lessons. Failing is how you learn to fucking succeed. Failure doesn't mean you give up. Failure means you study WHY you failed and see if you can change anything to get a different outcome. I'm very quick to point out a doomed tactic, but that doesn't always mean the goal is unattainable.

soatok, 23 days ago To expand on this: Security in all its forms (information, computer, physical, whatever) is at some level the discipline of studying how systems fail. Attacking a system involves triggering a failure mode, usually one that benefits the attacker.

firefly, 22 days ago @soatok Yup. When someone tells me I can't do something I get infuriated. The world is like whack-a-mole, ready to beat down the one that stands up.

enkiusz, 23 days ago @soatok yes, this. Not only you need to do your thing (and solve the problems that will come along the way) but also put in emotional labor to improve your mood after such bullshit "advice"
