Over time, SSD performance can degrade due to the way they handle data deletion and storage. Linux offers a feature called TRIM to address this issue. TRIM is a command that allows the operating system to inform the SSD which blocks of data are no longer in use, enabling the drive to perform internal garbage collection more efficiently.
Intelligence analysts should be self-conscious about their reasoning processes. They should think about how they make judgments and reach conclusions, not just about the judgments and conclusions themselves. — Psychology of Intelligence Analysis by Richard J. Heuer, Jr.
################################################## ########
Some years ago I was having a great chat with a friend of mine in which we discussed how does one know if we are listening to great music?
We arrived at the general conclusion that we can be sure that we found something great (people, art, music, food), if every time that we got in touch with it we discovered some hidden new good or enlightening/surprising aspect of it that we couldn't grasp at first sight. "Psychology of Intelligence Analysis" from Heuer is one of those books that I have to read again every five years or so, every time hits different and I suspect that the book hasn't changed at all since its publication on 1999.
I periodically revisit also my own definition of Hacker, because I think is a good mental exercise to determine my approximate position in the path.
I have come to the conclusion that, to tamper with a system that other people made I must understand it first profoundly, and then try to use it in ways different from those the original creator originally intended. I'm obliged to understand the programming logic that the creator of the system had in his mind while creating it.
So I must understand others thoughts , but what happens if I don't really understand my internal chain of thoughts and the neuronal paths that derive into judgements and actions?
then
I am a slave of my own faulty programming;
As an eternal student of Hacking and Intelligence disciplines, it is my duty then to be permanently aware of my own internal structures of analysis to be able to understand others and find the hack, the vulnerability, the path that nobody has taken and mark it with bright paint to be known and fixed.
I have functional CPTSD from several years now, and until recently something appeared clearly to me (I saw it as if a deep mist disappeared suddenly and revealed a whole map that filled the horizon in front of me) : that sadly the struggle to understand it and heal... it has made me a better hacking/intelligence professional.
I'm still on the way, I keep studying and making a LOT of mistakes,
I haven't found satori/enlightenment...
But something has changed in these months, I know that (maybe) even the most uncomfortable obstacle in your path could be used as a tool if you only take the time to understand it and it will teach you some really hard shit that you won't have listened otherwise.
So as Daisuke Aramaki said to Major Motoko Kusanagui in Ghost in the Shell:
"When we see our uniqueness as a virtue... only then do we find peace".
See you on the road Gl1d3r...
