0xtaj··on Ask HN: Why did you get a tattoo?
Because they are fucking cool.
0xtaj··on How do you look starting a newsletter on Substack?
I started one. Well. Am starting one. It’s hasn’t “officially” launched yet.

It’s about lost golf balls that I find around my neighborhood. (I rent in a subdivision surrounded by , I think five golf courses). I take pictures of where I find them. Give them a little description and write a little story about them sometimes.

My daughter loves it.

0xtaj··on Should I fight a forced resignation?
I was able to drag details out of HR, and I would have some significant grounds for a discrimination suit.
0xtaj··on Should I fight a forced resignation?
This in the US.
0xtaj··on Should I fight a forced resignation?
Agreed. That’s kind of why I’m not super invested in fighting it.
0xtaj··on Should I fight a forced resignation?
That’s literally the option I was presented. Thankfully since, it’s a State government organization, I have “time”. But the more I reflect, and the more feedback I get here here, I may go this route.
0xtaj··on Should I fight a forced resignation?
There is things in my head that whoever is going to take over will need to know. Nothing crazy, but a LOT of stuff. I may look into this.
0xtaj··on Ask HN: How do you manage multiple domains?
Excel worksheet, with columns for all of that. Because I, like my users, want to do everything the stupidest way fucking possible, and ensure that something gets horribly fucked up along the way.

0xtaj··on UnitedHealth says a likely 'nation-state actor' behind Change Healthcare attack
On February 21, 2024, UnitedHealth Group identified a suspected nation-state associated cybersecurity threat actor had gained access to some of the Change Healthcare information technology systems," the company wrote. "Immediately upon detection of this outside threat, the Company proactively isolated the impacted systems from other connecting systems in the interest of protecting our partners and patients, to contain, assess and remediate the incident."
0xtaj··on Why do you use this site?
This is how a website should look. It provides information. As others have said, it has a clean, customizable look, and (imo) content that you won’t find anywhere else.

The brilliance is the simplicity. You don’t get ads every other article. You get information.

Look at a ‘man’ page. It delivers information in an easy to read, text format.

We have had so much CSS, JS, pop-ups, pop-unders, and invasive click-tracking shoved down our collective throats that “surfing” the web is not an enjoyable experience anymore. It’s a damn chore.

There is an undercurrent of simplicity in the design of web-pages that I personally am starting to more often. If you look at links posted here by highly technical people or *nix power users, it’s a bare-bones blog or site.

For example: https://plaintextproject.online/index.html

0xtaj··on Best retention policy in your company?
Autonomy. I like to work on an island. I have my tasks/objectives, I work with a team but I don’t need /want to be micromanaged.

Ensure your managers aren’t micromanagers.

An open door policy. A real one, where your employees can come to you and feel valued and heard. You may not always agree or be able to do what they want, but be an active listener.

Promote from within. If you have a team running for 6 months without a manager do you even need one?

I have always, except in one instance, changed employers due to management.

A little disjointed, but you get the idea. Sorry. On mobile.

0xtaj··on Ask HN: How to make $1000/month on side projects? Any idea?
Find a problem. Develop a solution. Sell the solution.

If you have a good solution or a good product, people will pay. There’s always a problem to be solved.

0xtaj··on Ask HN: Using Personal GitHub for Work?
Lol. Preach.
0xtaj··on Show HN: MakeTime – A tool to leverage your calendar as your reading to-do list
What’s the link to a demo/idea/GitHub repo?

Left slide to reschedule. Right slide to cancel. Pull down for new event.

Try to incorporate NLP. “Meet Dave tomorrow for coffee.” Translates correctly.

Access to contacts. Ability to set favorite contacts. I meet with my team almost daily. Give me the ability make them my most Favorites.

Instant meet via Google Meet that gets added to my calendar.

0xtaj··on Ask HN: Any Recommendations for a Headless CMS?
Grav. https://getgrav.org/
0xtaj··on Ask HN: Registrar Horror Stories?
I’ve seen Gandi (sp?) suggested a few times.
0xtaj··on Ask HN: What the easiest and cheapest way for me to set up email?
Cloudron as an image. I run mine on Linode. Takes ~10-15 min for the image to deploy, a couple of “hours “ for DNS to update. All you really need is a domain.

Extremely well documented. https://www.cloudron.io/

0xtaj··on Ask HN: What’s the best guide to basic cybersecurity for employees?
Amazon has a pretty good boilerplate here: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/community/amazon-releases-f...

That’s off the top of my head.

0xtaj··on Stream BBC News Service about Ukraine
OP here. I should clarify. I’m an American citizen, I just am wondering if this archived/accessible somewhere.
0xtaj··on Ask HN: Image Hosting Service Reccomended?
Lychee or Pixelfed. On mobile so I don’t have links handy but a quick DDG search should turn them up.
