Welcome to America, where the scariest part about talking to a doctor isn't any potential diagnosis or test result, but instead determining if something is "in-network" or not. #dystopia #failedstate

Today's meeting of the Consistency Council is called to order. On the agenda: - Deciding which side of the vehicle the gas cap/charging port should be on. - Deciding between --update and --upgrade for cli-based utilities. Any additions or addendums?

Onward, Friends
After 26 years, today is my last day at EFF. It's been a terrific and wild ride — the organization has grown from a tiny band of fighty people trying to plant a flag for freedom and justice in the

Made an account for a bot I created, got some great feedback on it and started getting some likes and followers, it wasn't posting anything risky or obscene, still got suspended. Thanks @support.bsky.team
As some people may have heard (😩) I am on the job market. If anyone has any leads on netsec, offsec or anything similar let me know. I’m open to learning something new as well. In the mean time I’m available for 1099 work. Thanks ya’ll 🫶
When is 'World Test Restore" day? Hopefully tomorrow?

My daughter asked me "When was the last time we were at war?" I said, "It's easier to answer the last time we weren't at war. As someone born in the mid 1980's, I think the last time we weren't at war was a Tuesday"

I've gotta say.. playing SANS Holiday Hack Challenge (#hhc) this year and seeing that the entire thing was AI generated was so disappointing.. when I worked there, the human touch was the most important part. Now it's 100% slop. I guess capitalism comes for everything eventually..
It has been <1 day since I've heard someone say "single pane of glass" in a meeting.
I'm regrettably mono-lingual. However, I know some words from languages. So when a delivery driver is on a call while dropping something off, sees me, and immediately says something about "pendejo", it's not a good look. Maybe it was coincidence, but it's a tough case to make.
Remember when they said upgrading RAM is the cheapest and most effective upgrade to a computer system? Good times...
I understand everyone has things in their lives that the rest of us would never know about or understand, but what is it about walking into an airport that immediately grants people a sense of entitlement?
There's zen in building a new PC, inserting the parts, routing cables, and having it all light up in harmony the first time. That peace is quickly nuked by spending hours making #windows11 function like a normal OS instead of spyware.

I've been doing this IT/infosec/cybersecurity thing for long enough that now I get asked the "How do I get started?" type of questions. TBH, I don't know, but the more I do this job, the more I've learned to understand the importance of "context". 1/2
As much of a curmudgeon as I am, I get a very real, deep, and true sense of pride when I vote. It's hard to describe why, but has very little to do with the particular people or issues I vote for and more about participating and doing something that I feel will help my community. #vote
