I was excited about this idea until I found out it's $27k

You may be interested in the ZSA moonlander with their "the platform" tent kit. It can go near vertical, got mine a few weeks ago and it is really nice.

I'm a security researcher at Intel Corporation working on scalable software security, particularly fuzzing. Most recently, I created the fuzzer https://girhub.com/intel/tsffs to secure Windows and Linux kernel drivers and UEFI firmware, and have led its adoption across BUs. Previously, I have experience in vulnerability research and exploit development across userland and various OS kernels. My GitHub serves as portfolio at https://github.com/novafacing.

Looking forward to finding a new opportunity in the security space!

IIRC for most packets, UDS are actually faster (not by a massive amount) than named pipes: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1235958/ipc-performance-... and this advantage increases with packet size (from my own testing).

pwn.college from the folks at ASU SEFCOM is by a significant margin the best comprehensive binary exploitation training you can get. There are video lessons from some of the top professors and graduate (and undergraduate) TAs, CTF players, and more alongside a massive suite of hands on practice and a community for discussion and learning.

I have some suggestions. Now, I'm a bit of an audiophile and also I'm willing to deal with amounts of jank that others find intolerable. YMMV.

I use Deezer as a music service. It's $15/month for HiFi comparable to Tidal's HiFi subscription. Tidal, however, has DRM that does not allow it to play on Linux as a webapp nor does it have a Linux desktop app. Tidal's out. Now, here's the interesting thing: I never use Deezer to listen to music.

- I use Deemix Server (https://download.deemix.app/server/) to serve a webapp on my media server. This plugs into my Deezer account and I use it to download FLAC quality audio into my media server.

- My media server, of course, runs Plex (https://www.plex.tv/). I have a lifetime pass and it's totally worth it, but keep in mind it is required for this setup.

- Locally on my (phone|laptop|desktop) I use Plexamp (https://plexamp.com/). Plexamp is a beautiful high quality player with no bells and whistles but does one thing really well and that's play my music.

- Since this is all offline playing downloaded files, I use last.fm which plugs into both Deezer (https://blog.last.fm/2012/01/06/scrobble-with-deezer) and Plex (https://www.plex.tv/blog/plex-media-server-v0-9-12-5-a-tasty...) for recommendations, tracking listening, and connecting with friends. Honorable mention to MusicButler (musicbutler.io) which used to be free and simply notifies you of new releases for a "Release Radar" experience.

All this combines to be a less seamless but far better experience than using spotify.
