@infosec.pubIt's definitely still useful and easier to do now too. SpaceX and Tesla both allegedly use it to catch leakers. It's usually done now with whitespace and/or invisible characters.
If you're looking at paying for certs I personally would stick with ones from common organizations, like CompTIA, (ISC)^2, SANS, Cisco, etc. I think a lot of the value in the cert (at least for career purposes) comes from the name recognition and trust placed in the organization certifying you. A recruiter looks at a Sec+ credential and knows exactly what that entails, whereas a certification from a lesser known organization or community college doesn't do much to tell them what you know or have studied.
Look into using GNU stow! It's exactly what you're doing but it creates the symlinks for you.
I love this solution, I've been using it for years. I had previously just been using the home directory is a git repo approach, and it never quite felt natural to me and came with quite a few annoyances. Adding stow to the mix was exactly what I needed.
Check out CalCurse, I use it for exactly this purpose. It's primarily a curses tui application but it can also print itineraries and todos to the console.
As somone in IT who has to deal with executives I can assure you that high compensation has no correlation with good security practices :(
knock 3 times
oh boy, the knock 3 times rule, that brings back some memories. I spent a miserable 6 months as a Mormon missionary and my first companion would always knock 3 times. I always felt it was rude, especially when he would do it at a house where we knew someone was home and just not answering the door.
