Network Engineer / SysAdmin / Helpdesk by day in Singapore.
I’m part of https://www.dwarvin.com that provide lighting solutions to model railways. Its a small family business and I help out with online side of things.
Recently was ask to help out with to build a programmable lighting system and am having tons of fun, brings me back to my embedded systems class during my CS degree time.
I did it with a 15-day railpass as a graduation trip with 4 friends. Wouldnt say that it was the best experience with very tight budget as broke college students but a very special experience for sure.
Especially when passing through Washington state national park. At that moment all of us agreed that the trip was worth it.
Not written in 2018 but these are some of the books I’ve read this year
The Bullet Journal Method - Ryder Caroll - A how to and the philosophy behind bullet journalling. Am doing a 1 year test to see if the system works for me.
Spark Joy - Marie Kondo - Book about living minimally, got this suggestion because the previous book mentioned it and was curious.
The Hacked World Order - Adam Segal - got interested in cybersecurity thanks to my internship, so picked up a book to read about it and am planning to study and get certification/qualification to get into the field. Will be working in IT/Network Engineering for 2-3 years while learning cybersecurity during free time.
Can you elaborate more on product managers focusing on security? I just graduated with B.Sc in CS but am in a networking job now there is a lot to learn, am planning to branch into the security field after getting more experience (2-3 years)
I just always select “Dont allow” when prompted for notification unless its a messaging/finance app, I get less distracted a LOT compared to all those useless notifications like
“You’ve been away for x hours heres what you missed”
Am on the way of unscribing a lot of promo emails to currently.
Same for some SEA countries (Malaysia & Singapore), whatsapp (some includes other popular messaging apps such as WeChat, FB messenger) messages/calls does not count toward your data usage for most telcos and it is the main way people communicate, Whatsapp basically replaced SMS there when it was launched.

Right, that was what I thought too, this is honestly why I'm turned off from applying to work with more bureaucratic companies (soon to be fresh graduate), I understand the reason for sensitive informations being leaked. But this seriously causes a lot of productivity loss...
I've interned with a small company that needs to SSL into government/companies servers to do work. (I don't do them, just on local company machine for testing etc. Also maybe why they can't let me do live site related stuffs) It'll be a big pain to not be able to SSL remotely and do work.
