What's the difference between a penetration tester and a grave robber? Not a question I was expecting to have answered today but thanks to @gr4y-r0se.bsky.social and his fascinating look at secret communications from ancient Greek to current times it has been answered. youtu.be/Sg2WzVrWUvg?...

Particularly like the glossary. Loving the term Servo sushi 🍣🤣

This explainer out of Australia is genuinely useful background and analysis of what happened with the Canada-US trade deal last night. Note that it is extremely and delightfully sweary. Also there’s an appended glossary of Australian slang. ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...

@akacki.net was shocked how good @hackglasgow.bsky.social was 🤣

This weekend food while at @hackglasgow.bsky.social has been glorious. Minigrill Steakhouse for steaksides. Maccies to start the day. Didn't get a picture of the pasta and Arancini balls for lunch from Celinos. Buttermilk Fried chicken and maternity from Bucks. All absolutely delicious 😋

Why the fuck would I want to turn this into a tarot card?!?

You're going to want to stick around for the afterparty... When you have @akacki.net — host of 'Whose Slide Is It Anyway?' at DEF CON — flying over from the US to give a talk on making the badge for the DEF CON game, [...]

Interesting accessibility talk at @bsidesleeds.bsky.social here youtu.be/InvLHjRmuWc?.... Excellent example provided on how inaccessible something can be without realising it.

Had a great time at The Rocky Horror Picture Show today. The audience was fantastic. Except the woman behind me who talked and shouted random shit all the way through, kicked my chair and smacked me on the head. She can feck right off.
