Sometimes my husband will do a puzzle (wordle or similar) with me, and after we solve it, he will say something like "you're really smart" and honestly those kind of little things just make my whole day.
Like, mentally, the past couple years have been a struggle, mentally. It's been my hacker friends that have gotten me through it, whether they know it or not. Knowing so many people are putting their big brains toward doing things to make the world better or more interesting has helped.
Making stickers and things for @bsideslv.org and @defcon.bsky.social I can't wait to see all you silly wonderful nerds. I'm really grateful to have found this community and the friends within it. Just knowing yall exist has gotten me through this year
Life is just fucking relentless. Just one terrible thing after another. I'm exhausted
Trent reznor never specified WHAT animal, But based on the beat, my guess is that it's a tortoise.
Sorry we missed you @wilwheaton.net Left a cDc sticker at your table after waiting 2 hours for your meet and greet! Enjoy Huntsville!
My mother in law sent me this fantastic picture of my husband @tc.superteece.com on his way to senior prom, and I'm kind of obsessed with Emo Malfoy. Will the real slim shady please stand up??
Talk to me about buffer overflows and I'll go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
When I said I wanted to take a trip, this is not what I meant X Don't walk and scroll, friends!
Squid row is where fisherman go to live when they've fallen on hard times
I have just been obsessively watching Traitors and House of villians because watching random reality tv stars fight is more peaceful than *gestures around* all of this
Hey @wilwheaton.net! When you come to Huntsville for the pop culture convention in April, you should bring your cDc book- I have a sticker for it, as well as some cult of the dead cow swag for you!
Shame on Fortinet They tied their engineers bonuses to their sales team, resulting in NO bonuses to their technical workers Then had the NERVE to pour salt in the wound by sending a phishing test email about 2025 holiday bonuses. GROSS.
Woohoo. New book. Well, the second copy of this book but this one is updated. My old copy will be donated to my lending library I have in front of my house. Thank you @medus4.com and @cultdeadcow.com for an awesome read.
What's it made of? It's about 80-100% of something we call HDP. Human Designed Privacy. And well, it's pretty much what it sounds like. A privacy focused app framework built for humans, by humans. No vibe coding, VCs or profit motives. Sorry for the video, but We still need some space, Carol.

The Kindle version of Cult of the Dead Cow has also been updated with my additions on current #hacktivism, matching the new paperback and audio. Anyway here is a photo I took of early cDc stalwart @betoorourke.bsky.social with cDc’s @adamjodonnell.bsky.social and L0pht fellow traveler @stamos.org.

Sigh. Yes, I know about the moderation choices Bluesky has been making regarding NCP/NCII. Yes, I know about the massive flaws and potential for abuse that their decisions have.
Happy Thanksgiving to those in America! And to the rest of the world, Happy Thursday! This year I am grateful for my team at the Veilid Foundation and all the @veilid.com contributors and supporters. 2026 is going to be a lot of work, but we got this, fam! We are doing the thing.
@medus4.com gave me the coolest anniversary gift. It’s already getting use as a vocals warm up tool for step-kiddo-the-younger’s middle school theater performance.
This week has been pure hell and it's only Tuesday. I'm stressed, depressed, and want to curl into a ball and disappear.
