If your private key has a good passphrase and is suitably encrypted, say with ed25519, then that's probably as good as you can do other than physically going into work and storing everything in your head :-) Politely ask the client to suggest what they consider would be a suitable alternative.
I also setup git hooks to prevent accidentally checking in private keys or passwords into git or other version control systems. And if I'm travelling into or from work I also encrypt some stuff just in case I have a problem and the laptop is stolen.
Hi, You prob need to do some investigation on what HPC users requirements are. For instance, genomics researchers need lots of cores and memory. For those users a 16 vCPU, 64GB RAM won't make the grade to be called HPC. They would need to have multiple vCPUs and use MPI to distribute their workload, and that adds complexity to their code. HPC nodes that I'm running in a cluster each have 64 cores and a minimum of 768 GB RAM each and some nodes have 1500 GB RAM. Even then some of the genomics jobs run for a few days to several hundred hours.
The other problem is that users would probably not know how to write a docker file to create their custom compute environment.
It would be a nice project though :-)

I prefer Mercurial. It's easier to teach to non-programmers and it has a less confusing cli. Git has a terrible mess of cli options. I have also used Fossil and that is very nicely designed. Played a bit with bzr and darcs in the past. For many users Mercurial or Fossil would be the better tool for them than Git. Also checkout EasyMercurial, it's a suburb GUI for Mercurial.
Hi.
I always liked science so I went into physics and got a PhD. That led me to work in semiconductor manufacturing, then a national research organisation, some research for small private companies, and now I'm running a small super computer for researchers and helping them to use Linux and get their programs running. I have been able to pivot when needed because all of those fields have intersections and I could use skills and experience from one field in another. If your having problems deciding between fields then possibly shift to deciding based on future supervisors. Are there ones that stand out? Ask their previous students. I have never started a company but have run a small sole-trader business making some electronics. It went OK but not very profitable. One thing though in doing a startup - the younger your are, the less you have to lose :-)
Best wishes, I'm sure you will do well in anything you try :-)
I use MakeDocs with Material theme as most of my websites are for documentation. It all depends on what sort of website you want and for what audience. Go to the static website generator sites, look at how you install it, how to specify a theme, and how you tweek it, what themes there are and pick one. As most website generators use Markdown its relatively easy to switch from one generator to another if necessary.
That percentage is possibly far too low and misleading. Most Windows devices, like all those home PCs, do not use Cloudstrike. What is important was the % of servers it took out that were using Cloudstrike. Each of those servers might have been serving dozens or hundreds of Windows PCs.
That's why it's correct. It didn't say 1% of business users. It said 1% of all PCs, including home ones.
The problem with CrowdStrike is that it's old software based on an outdated idea (blacklisting). Attempting to update their blacklist file caused the interpreter to crash. A security system based on whitelists doesn't have a blacklist that updates itself remotely and therefore can't have this problem.
The second issue is with over reliance on SaaS. When you outsource everything to 10 vendors, you lose in-house understanding and control over your tools. It also leads to aggregation and mini monopolies in SaaS vendors when they buy or kill each other. The fact that so many aviation businesses relied on a single vendor shows the risks.
I like the simple, minimalist UI that HN currently has. I cannot think of any features that it currently lacks. I'm already spending more time here than on /.
I think its likely that the Russian and Chinese spies would be applying for the cleaning, general administration and cooking jobs, so they can listen in on the chit chat in the lunch room and browse the filing cabinets at night. So in trying to to get a job in those general fields you will be competing against quite a few spies. They may even have a better looking but fake resume. Good luck :-)
I actually doubt. Those projects would be so guarded that one has to prove that one's father and mother are loyal too -- yeah that probably means it's a lot easier to get into if your parents are from the military too.
After all some people in the government are efficient.
