    Cybersecurity engineer here: I work for a defense company’s data protection arm and you have NO IDEA how true this is. The really good companies spend almost as much in employee training as they do in software/hardware.

    But you wanna know what’s even a bigger problem than human stupidity? GREED I’d say about 50% of the companies out there have very little or no security because why invest in something that produces no profits?

    Welcome,

    Sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor prescribed. Remember that unlike reddit where the algo shoves content down your throat, here you kind of have to build it brick by brick.

    Use this to start, search for your favorite reddit communities. There’s probably an alternate here.

    This is only applicable if you drain them all the way repeatedly (over draining of the battery leads to sulfate forming on the plates which is)

    I combat this by over sizing my batteries. I have a lead one in a tool box I use for camping and I recharge with a solar panel, It’s a standard car battery that for my use lasts 6 hours or so. Normally I use it for a couple hours (between dusk and time to go to bed) to use a laptop, maybe a speaker and an LED light and then I charge it during the day while I go hiking via solar panels.

    If you care for them they can last a long time. There’s also charge controllers you can install to keep it between 20 and 80% charge (for best life) but that’s kind of overkill for my purposes.

    Having said that, yes … deep cycle batteries are a lot better, and even more so are Li Ion and solid state … but they are also significantly more expensive, and I like to use whatever I have at hand.
