Thanks

Do you ever feel super stupid?
Like … you actually start to question everything
and think about how you might have a huge defiency
but nobody ever told you?
Sometimes I like to introspect and
think about myself and I often come to the same conclusion:
Thank god for the internet.

I learned so much online that I believe without internet access,
I probably would eat bananas with the skin.
I’m still a monkey with a keyboard
but If it weren’t for the abundance of free information
and courses on the tubez, I would be even be more of a dork.

It’s truly a great time to be alive.

Fuuuuuuuuu

What the fuck is going on with Stonks ?

I’m starting to go into the red. I’m not amused.
This is not what I signed up for.
The guys on Reddit told me Stonks only go up. Somebody help.

J Powell? Lagarde? What’s wrong? Are the printers stuck?
Maybe I can help I work in IT. Try turning them off and on again.

This almost feels like crypto. Make them damn stonks go up again.

/edit:
ah ! Not so bad after all.
Nintendo had a 10-for-1 Stocksplit and my App hasn’t caught up. phew !

Datahoarding Spree

Do you know that feeling when you just start to download random shit from the internet just to satisfy your urge to hoard data ? No particular aim. Just downloading for the sake of downloading. Like … you don’t even want to consume the stuff, you just want to hoard it….

You don’t ?

Well I might have to talk with my psychiatrist about that.
I might have a problem.

Taxes

I’ve done my taxes in january. Which means I’m waiting since 6 months for my shit to get processed now. 6 fucking months. And today I wanted to log into elster online to check if I accidentally didn’t submit them or something. Now the website is broken and I can’t login. Some input field is missing or something. Checked with different browsers.

I love germany. That’s how we role.

Am I too harsh? Maybe I should be more patient and give them another 3 months for the website to get fixed and 3 months for my taxes to be processed. This should put the deadline to 2023. No pressure. Everybody chillax !

Access Denied

Some idiot is trying to log into one of my servers by doing a login attempt every 5 minutes from various different alternating IP addresses. Looks like a long running dictionary attack or something.

Dude, give up already. It’s spaming my logs. I don’t even know my password myself. And unless you also have my 2FA tokens you are out of luck anyway.

To mitigate the logspam I’m making a new rule.

3 Strikes and you are out. If any IP has 3 failed attempts it gets blocked forever. I hope the guy has unlimited IP addresses if he wants to keep this up.
