As you may notice, there is an issue. For some reason the hugo-tufte theme doesn't treat the sidenote number/ indicator as only a character, but adds a whitespace after it as well. This can lead to some hanging punctuation, so if you see that on this website, that's why. And if you don't, there's a tiny chance I fixed it.
Still, all things considered, I am quite happy, and working on this website has been a great reprieve from bombarding my brain with infosec.

You have an unfeeling, unjudging, (mostly) unbiased machine in front of you. It knows nothing about you, and it can (sometimes) generate answers to your questions which will be useful. It's certainly fallible, and you know that, but you'll still use it, for two reasons:

However, when we really look at the offering, it's poor and not really accomplishing most of what it claims. SaaS solutions are universally more expensive than a custom-built, purpose-made solution. Not only are they inefficient when it comes to migrating, but they're also subject to vendor lock-in, often relying on their _particular_ way of interfacing with the automation scripts, rather than giving actual, full access to what their servers can offer.
Because at the end of the day, **every SaaS solution is merely a front-end, an interface with which customers can avoid typing a few lines of code.** On its face, it seems simple and quick. But it's very expensive, and creates a reliance on a third party that not only creates security risks _(if you're running automations on customer data... that data is accessible by whatever service you're using)_, but is also much more expensive than doing it in-house.
Anyway. Rant over. [Join the FSF.](https://my.fsf.org/join)
