  • I thought that I was the same as you, but actually I realise I ‘tell myself’ things all the time.

    Mostly it feels like I’m bullshitting myself with things I ‘know to be true’ to drown out irrational things I feel.

    Do you never have irrational monkeybrain chatter? Like, “I don’t feel like I’m ever going to be good at X”; only to reassure yourself that you’ll get better as you practice? If I ever feel disheartened, I often ‘tell myself’ that I’m not special enough to be uniquely incapable of learning whatever it is.

    I put ‘tell myself’ in quotes because none of this actually happens in slow full language sentences in my head. It can, but bothering to sound out the whole thought seems silly and inefficient somehow. Mostly it happens in fragmented feelings and flashes of remembered sensations.









  • Sounds like you have reason to bump it up the list now - two birds with one stone.

    I need to do this too. I know I have stuff deployed that has plaintext secrets in .env or even the compose. I’ll never get time to audit everything. So the more I make the baseline deployment safe, the better.







  • That’s fair, there’s other angles of observation made available already.

    Seeing as you like speculating about cyberpunk, how about if observation is just the initial way to way to sell the drone cloud? Depending on how cheap you can make them, there’s an argument to made for reducing time-to-intercept for low-speed aerial objects.

    If you’ve got a bunch of drones overhead already, you could run one in to the path of a kamikaze drone, or if your swarm is even lightly armed, you can extend engagement range and reduce required accuracy with a single buckshot shell to shoot an offending drone down.

    If you’re content to prioritize executive safety over public saftey, there’s a lot that can be done.

    Drone displays terrify me.
