The article spends a good amount of time suggesting how to write better blog posts over time, which I appreciate, but the title doesn't fit as well as it could.
I feel the title should be more about 'how to write better blog posts over time' or something. I was expecting to hear advice more about creating or maintaining a blog itself, which is more than just writing (in my mind) -
The site pulls a bitdefender warning about malicious something or another, not sure what the trigger is.
I've commented elsewhere about blog software since on HN this inevitably comes up on similar threads.
Might have to make a more well rounded wordpress blog stuff that includes backups, securing and hosting considerations then submit a more complete article at some point.
I feel this is more important for a younger or smaller company, and less so when stopping a product from one company to switch to another is a pain in the ass or has other problems / risks..
switching from godaddy to another registrar is not super hard, but there are hurdles and sometimes problems occur that even people with experience run into.
I think (some?) people also hope a place that suffers a breach learns from it and makes it near impossible for similar to happen again.
I have started to put together some resources to teach C suite, maybe new-to-the-field lawyers, other interested stakeholders - about website compliance issues..
looking to mimic other good training / learning materials, extra info to consider, maybe collab and send business I can't take on, etc.
Not the person you are replying to, but I work in security and have spent ~5 years of my career helping various companies set up and maintain security awareness programs.
There are some out-of-the-box solutions that can start you on your way to creating a security awareness training program, such as KnowBe4 and ProofPoint (there are others as well, but these are some of the big names). If you don't have in-house security staff, these types of offerings can be quite helpful.
For a more grounds-up approach, there are guidelines such as the NIST SP 800-50 "Building a Cybersecurity and Privacy Learning Program" guidance. (https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/50/r1/final)
If you have specific questions, I can try to answer them.
While I agree with you, that's why they are a starting point for someone looking to stand up a program, not an end point.
And, from my experience, many of the trainings that seem almost offensively easy to me (e.g. "How to read a URL") have been some of the ones that received the most positive feedback from non-technical departments.
The real key with security awareness training is ensuring the training is at the appropriate level of complexity for the trainee.
Very glad to these options and how they can be perceived by people, this should mean there are paths and that if they can be made better / different for different audiences that they may be well received.
Appreciate you and @ziddoap offering insight!
Looking at starting deck for FTC issues, Hipaa issues, and Google's policies - all for websites and apps specifically very soon and let the videos / webinars / interactive / discussions grow from here.
KnowBe4 is awesome. It trains everyone to be on the lookout. The penalty for barely screwing up is another boring training session that no one has time for. Very painful. Pain is a great teacher.
One way to relieve the boredom is to count the number of times you see the people in videos typing away on desktops/monitors with no cables plugged into them.
I'd rent a server and make a couple support tickets and see how that goes (time until replied, time until fixed, if they have any clue what you are talking about?)
What is that one company that bought like dozens of other hosting companies? I'd avoid all of them.
btw I block all of datapacket's ips from most of my websites, not that that in of itself would be a problem for you, but ips from dpacket, ovh, digital ocean, and similar are blocked en masse from several places I control - I can't be the only one that puts trust things from them on a lower tier for reasons with whatever effects.
Of course if you don't send email, you just need something that can serve files fast and stay online, but the support you get or don't get can cost more than the dollars you save in some cases.
Isn't Datapacket considered high-end? I mean, it has glowing reviews from top-tier companies. And would a bad IP address even matter for a SaaS app? Perhaps only if my server was interacting with your server, or sending mail, correct?
"Perhaps only if my server was interacting with your server, or sending mail, correct?" - yep I believe you can run email through a different service and be just fine,
I don't know if datapacket is considered high end at all, it might be.. my only knowledge of it is seeing it's ip addys regularly used in failed admin login attempts and being used to send contact form spam..
Of course they are not the only ones being used for such things.
according to that 'adults participating in the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions' .. It also says foreign born is 1% vs native at 1.7% - so they are both 'a tiny fraction'
Whether or not a large percentage, or a large number or small number of immigrants are homeless or not,
one must assume that if 11 million people left the US next month, the price of rent in many places may go down a bit, and some currently unhoused people might be able to afford a cheaper place.
Of course another side is that wages in some industries will rise, and that may put more people into a position where they can afford an apartment.
What I'd like to see is how inexpensive optional housing can be made.
My first read of this document leads me to believe that there are only about 341,000 housing units available for rent, there are some for sale at an average price of $373,000.. but many or most of the empty housing units are like second homes and such and not 'available'.
So we have 350k open units and 700k people without homes, average rent is around $1500..
just looking at the data my guess is that we have about 700k people who don't have an extra 2 grand every month to put into housing.
(and I think it's way higher personally, maybe not counting the couch surfing relatives who can't afford their own place, and others who are living in over crowded situations of basements )-
I'm sure there is much more to it than the averages, like a lot of the homeless are in areas where the average rent is much higher and 1500 - and the few places where rent is $800 likely has less homeless, (and also has less other things like jobs and public transit) -
and really if it is 10 million or a quarter a million empty places, I don't see how that matters if no one can afford any of them.
Those houses sitting empty with no-one in them is exactly why the price of rent is so high. The supply is there but it's being hoarded by 1% of the population. Write laws that would force people to rent out their secondary houses, condos and apartments (with the threat of having it seized if they don't) and watch the prices immediately start to fall.
I suppose the easiest way to use this or similar and be compliant with Hipaa would be to send the data vai webhook to a Hipaa compliant thing..
I've been looking for self hostable:
encryption before emailing and
encryption at rest for form submissions dat saved in a server DB eg sql with wordpress moved to something else,
anyone having suggestions (things free or under $29 / mth) I'm all ears.
Email is in my profile if you have any questions. Technically the HIPAA plan starts at $99/mo but I'll give you a discount code to get you to $29 if you give a try and are willing to jump on a call and do a feedback session with me after trying it.
(You can also try it for free before signing up for anything)
Pretty sure I saw a couple of party detection devices shown on some netflix airBnb creators show like 8(?) years ago.
(show had a firehouse in DC revamp, then another episode with a california(?) 70's pad with 70s furniture, decor, pool.. definitely the kind of place you may want to party, yet the owners were hesitant to list it if they could not prevent that...
I believe they used a combination of sound dB meters and carbon monoxide detectors to determine approx number of people and how loud they were.
Sounds like this thing is another interesting way to gauge similar activities, which is interesting, but I would shy away from calling it first.
Maybe 'unapproved gathering detection alerts you if too many cell phones are detected on or near your property' - I dunno.
I wonder if it's smart enough to detect if the neighbour is having a party or if people will start to get bogus Airbnb complaints from properties with these devices.
Well, actually, that's untrue. Carbonylhemoglobin formation due to metabolic and environmental CO, and subsequent breakdown releases CO. There are, in fact, CO breath analyzers. Smokers and smoke inhalation patients have much higher levels, whereas ordinary healthy people have detectable, nonzero levels. For the point of detecting crowds, it's still meaningless.
I've posted many resources for people to take a dip into different paths and different teachers for marketing on this page: https://steveiscritical.com/smma-info/
I should clean it up and organize it better at some point, but there is a big variety these days.

I've got some stuff about modern wordpress blog design and such on this page: https://steveiscritical.com/learn-websites-and-coding/
