Funny parody compilation. They even got my favorite Untergang in there.

I was born in Kiev and have been living in Los Angeles for almost 25 years. I've been in IT pretty much since I was 13 and got my first computer. My specialties lie in the area of devops and web security, although I've pretty much done everything at one time or another.
AWS Costs
Good take on what it costs to run in AWS. It does get pricey, but there are ways to optimize for costs.
Skills gap in IT security
The article tries to explain why companies have trouble hiring security pros. Some good items in there, but I think it misses the larger point. Too many companies simply don’t understand what they need and treat security as a check box that they mark off on some form. They believe that “security” consists of creation of myriads of policies, procedures and documents for every eventuality. Doubtless, that’s a part of it, but it has to start with evaluating risks, threats and having a proper mindset.
This reminds me of a security position that I once interviewed for. One interviewer really wanted to know the specific number of Active Directory Organizational Units (OUs) I have worked with. That is akin to asking a prospective sysadmin how many files he has worked with. The number is arbitrary and absolutely irrelevant to underlying complexity, nesting, policies, etc. At the time, they told me that they’ve been trying to fill the position for more than 6 months…..Somehow that wasn’t surprising to me…
LCD TVs
I once got into an argument with a friend of mine about the “Soap Opera” effect on new TVs. He was trying to convince me that it’s a sign of an amazing television set. I wish I had a link to this article to show him at the time.
