I just transferred some money from my bank to Vanguard. Said it would take 1-2 calendar days to post, but looking at my balance details, they were available for purchase immediately, so I went and purchased some stocks.

When I went to check my account, I saw a big red warning that newly deposited funds are subject to a 7-day calendar hold and purchases may be restricted.

The order I put in seems to have executed successfully, and the amount in my “available to purchase” section went down accordingly. The deposit from my bank itself is still pending.

Since it let me do it I assumed that everything was fine, but now I’m thinking I fucked up.

How much trouble am I in?

Night grows ever closer. The day recedes, time slipping between my fingers like sand. I try to grab it, but I am powerless. The inexorable march of time continues.

I check my email and see nothing. I look at the clock and watch my future run away from me. I gaze longingly at the enormous portrait of the God-Emperor Gabe (all glory to his eternal splendor) hung up on my living room wall.

Therein lies my last and only hope. The world is so bleak and cold… yet His warm smile shines a spotlight, a beacon for the lost souls of this universe.

Surely He will grace us with his blessings tonight? Why won’t the email come? Why do my prayers go unanswered? Has He forsaken us?

I fear the gentle call of sleep. I fear it will betray me. It threatens to steal me from the battlefield at this hour most dire. I cannot abandon my post. I must keep refreshing.

Joyous tidings shall come. They must.

I shan’t sleep

I don’t actually travel all that often, but I figure people here would be better suited than most to answer.

I’m searching for the perfect pair of shoes. Something I can easily walk in, do some light exploring off the beaten path, and still be able to pull them off in a business casual outfit at least.

Last requirement - I have weird big/wide feet. I need something that will fit.

Budget is not a problem as long as I get what I’m paying for. I want something that’s comfortable, low maintenance, and will last me for several years.

For those of you who travel light, what’s your favorite pair to bring along?

I want to completely reset my device. If I hit factory reset from the MacOS partition, will it wipe the entire device or only that specific partition? If it only resets the one partition, how can I get rid of the Asahi partition completely?

Sorry for the noob question. Thanks in advance!

I’m currently happily employed in an (atypical) SOC Analyst position. I have no plans to leave, and I’m currently focusing on getting promotions to higher and higher positions.

That said, I have no intentions of going into management. So I’m considering where I’ll be in 5-10 years, and possible lateral moves.

Currently, my biggest interest is DFIR. I am also curious about threat hunting, but I don’t know much about that.

What position is a good bet? Anything else I should consider? What’s most likely to still be around after AI?

I’m thinking about some sort of professional services or consulting position, but I’m afraid that I’ll be too burned out or old for that kind of grinding by that time.

Any advice for someone just starting their career?
