    nobody could have stopped child me from finding porn. I discovered social engineering the old fashioned way just to acquire consistent internet access, and I did entering without breaking that would get an adult in trouble to access computers with nobody around in more than one place. I taught my parents how to use computers and I protected them from viruses. there was no stopping me.

      Yeah, it’s part of the reason I’m so good with IT. My stepmom was the systems engineer, and I had to figure out ways to get around her blocks and hide my tracks.

          Which would make sense that my IT career led me to cyber security. It drives my wife’s trust issues insane that I have so many safeguards on our data at home.

          But, the only reason her devices are in a completely different subnet from mine is because she uses tiktok and meta services, and gets pissed about my ad blocking.
