And they certainly look like losers lol

Hmm, I’m liking it very much. I’ve been self-hosting as part of my learning journey so I can understand better the things I learn and apply them. Right now I’m concerned with people replacing security roles with AI, but it’s México and we’re so behind in cybersecurity I think I can worry later. I want to go into GRC or auditing, any tips?

I like a lot of different areas, I’m thinking about following one of my teachers ideas and also offer freelance monitoring solutions. I try to learn a bit of everything so I can stay ready :)

BTW, if you know any software that’s very used so I can start checking out, I’d be glad to hear about it. I know the FOSS alternatives are not that common and that’s what I have to use rn

I’m studying cybersecurity and there are barely any women, but our directors are always encouraging them to participate and speak more. I’m friends with some of them and they hardly encounter anyone hostile. There are some men that speak behind their backs, but I’m glad a lot of people defend them and are open about their stance against sexism and misogyny. It’d always funny when anyone says something sexist and everyone around responds making fun of them or just ignoring them and leaving them alone on their comments.

Of course, it’s not perfect, but I’m glad that it’s getting better. Also, women were the whole top 3 or 5 of all students in our faculty lol

I mean, Carlos Slim is not from the USA, so most news were in spanish:

I use the ‘No Thanks’ app, but only as a starting point to then confirm if what they say it’s true. I don’t like that it’s closed source, but at least it’s an option. Also, I should note that some brands are ethical in some countries or states, but not globally, so you should check local resources for better results 🧐

Most of the Mexican government uses Twitter almost exclusively and most media only have access to their news via their websites (no RSS/Atom). There’s no clear way to fight this as there are no clear laws about access to publicly funded content 😐

So in events like this, most people have to rely on conversations and the governemnt presence because you can’t find information easily.

It has become so bad for results in Spanish too, that I am now self-hosting SearXNG even though I’m the only one using it in my family lol
