...which I (and many others here) were using to listen to music.
Probably some moron got a bee in his bonnet about how much bandwidth was being used streaming compressed audio files.

Thank you, I need all the luck I can get. Brand new start, unknown expectations and "impostor syndrome" kicking in like Hell on wheels.

Spotify, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp are good alternatives

Amazon Music too, especially if you already have Prime.

I use direct web... "www.radio.de" --> long list and most of the channels bring only one or two advertisements per hour.
For a free streamer is pretty tolerable and I like the music selection.

I'm in a similar position; I love bass-based funk and smooth jazz and used to use video sites to listen to it at work, but now they've blocked pornhub

I also stream at work, and already wondered if this was OK or not regarding bandwith use.
I got flagged when i did my internship in 2002, as I had been streaming internet radio - and back then, bandwith was a bit narrower.

New DoD requirement for software developers that MUST be fulfilled by July 2019...
CSSLP (certified secure software lifecycle professional) is a certification from (ISC)2 that focuses on application security within the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Launched in 2008, the CSSLP certification is designed for programmers, project managers, IT analysts or engineers involved in the SDLC. The certification's curriculum focuses on application vulnerabilities, risk and compliance issues that arise during the application development lifecycle and is broken down into eight domains:
•Secure Software Concepts
•Secure Software Requirements
•Software Design
•Secure Software Implementation/Coding
•Secure Software Testing
•Software Acceptance, Software Deployment
•Operations, Maintenance and Disposal
•Supply Chain and Software Acquisition
CSSLP is intended to help candidates validate their expertise in application security, be able to better handle application vulnerabilities and demonstrate a working knowledge of application security.
In order to be considered for the CSSLP certification, candidates must have at least four years cumulative paid full-time work experience in at least one of the eight domains of the CSSLP. Alternatively, candidates can substitute a year of this work experience with a four-year college degree in a related field.
The CSSLP exam takes four hours to complete and consists of 175 multiple choice questions. Candidate need to achieve a minimum of 700 out of 1000 points to pass the exam and gain the certification.

I'm so bored.
I love technology and learning tech, but I really dislike long tests like that.

I dislike the over-the-f*ckin-top certification requirements imposed by the DoD.
I think they have some as*hole sitting in a dark room somewhere in Washington trying to dream up ways to make working as a developer for the government the most distasteful job imaginable.

Even if you don't have a lot of "security" experience, I know you hit 2-4 items off the list as it is, or you would not be where you are at right now in your career.
•Secure Software Concepts
•Secure Software Requirements
•Software Design
•Secure Software Implementation/Coding
•Secure Software Testing
•Software Acceptance, Software Deployment
•Operations, Maintenance and Disposal
•Supply Chain and Software Acquisition

But I have to take the test to "prove my skills" (according to the ICS2 website). I do get a "digital badge" when I pass, so I guess, silver lining.

I just select "C" all they way down the line. Works every time.
Also, for the 40th time, get a new job.

This is DoD wide. It doesn't matter what DoD contract I'm on.

So don't you have this entire certification stack already? I mean, this isn't your first DoD job, right?

Every time I see something like this, I thank any available deity that I got out of that mess when I did. The last time I played in that arena was at JSOC at hurlburt Field in Florida, some 10 year ago.
