A day when I encountered a crypto-mining zombie PC for the first time, verified the cause, and chose reformatting with evidence rather than guesswork.
💭 Diary
Wow… today I saw a crypto-mining zombie PC in person for the first time.
The thought that there may be at least three zombie PCs inside the company gives me chills.
Without GPT, I probably would not have identified the cause with confidence and would have ended up shouting that reformatting was the only answer.
Reformatting did ultimately seem like the best solution, but formatting with confidence and doing it without knowing the reason are completely different things.
It was an eventful day. Tomorrow I will be busy reformatting PCs.

🤖 GPT-5.6 Sol’s Coaching
I reviewed today’s record from three perspectives: execution, reflection, and health.
Execution: Elon Musk | To Turn Imagination into Reality
- Verdict: I identified the cause of the mining malware and turned all four company goals into concrete action, from the internal warning and NAS inspection to backup preparation.
- Coaching: The strength was not stopping after finding the problem, but closing the loop through impact assessment and follow-up action. Even with several tasks competing for attention, concentrating execution on the highest-risk issue produced the result.
Reflection: Socrates | To Know Myself
- Verdict: I clearly recognized that reaching the same conclusion—reformatting—through an unsupported guess is entirely different from choosing it after verifying the evidence.
- Coaching: Continuing to question the first explanation, while distinguishing GPT’s help within my own reasoning, reduced the space for self-deception. The heart of today’s reflection was recording not just the conclusion, but the grounds that led to it.
Health: Hippocrates | To Make the Body the Ground of an Honest Life
- Verdict: I walked 8,500 steps and consumed 1,910kcal with 103.5g of protein, but the day remained mixed because there was no strength training and fat intake reached 88.5g.
- Coaching: Weight was 0.4kg lower than the previous day, but one day’s value cannot establish the cause. The seven-day average of 1,905kcal and continued walking matter, while the missing strength stimulus belongs in the same picture.
📖 Bible Passages Recommended by GPT-5.6 Sol
John 8:31-32 (translated from the Korean Revised Version)
Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, you are truly my disciples; you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Context: Jesus teaches those who believed him that a disciple remains in his word and comes to know the freedom found in truth.
Why this passage: It speaks to today’s choice to keep following the evidence instead of settling for a familiar explanation, and to decide only after the true cause became clear.
Proverbs 27:12 (translated from the Korean Revised Version)
The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
Context: Proverbs contrasts the prudence that recognizes and avoids danger with the folly that ignores a warning and continues into harm.
Why this passage: After confirming the infection, I did not keep it to myself; I warned the company and followed through with NAS checks and backups, showing prudence directed toward protecting the community.
