Whoever is responsible for the #Google Skills #GoogleSkills site needs to stop vibe product managing and step up. There&#39;s a script, that script is apparently put into an AI TTS system for the voiceover.

Why does everyone sing the praises of Obsidian (the Markdown note taking app, not the security company)?

Security in the cloud is complicated. It does not fit your mental model unless you dive DEEPLY into it. SANS SEC510 (by Brandon Evans) and the associated GPCS exam are the only places I have ever found the complexities analyzed &amp; explained. But even that doesn&#39;t include everything. My favorite recent example is this part of a sentence: &quot;When you create a LoadBalancer Service, GKE configures a Google Cloud pass-through load balancer…&quot;
