@cR0w oh yes. And it’s becoming more of a store every day

It just occurred to me that TikTok is to QVC/Home Shopping Network as Uber is to Taxis

Does anyone know of a good how to guide for non-technical people that explains how to clean up and secure their iPhones and iCloud accounts if they are suspected of being compromised?

@lerg I may have to rethink my plans for tomorrow. This sounds more fun

I finally got around to finishing @adamshostack’s excellent book “ Threats: What Every Engineer Should Learn from Star Wars” and can recommend it to anyone interested in IT/cyber security. It’s informative and approachable.

@sehugg exactly!

Tomorrow I am…

shakes magic 8 ball

Driving a u-haul truck around town and delivering Christmas trees all day.

@nuintari redundancy!

@SecurityWriter :blobheartcat:

@drew fair point

One big downside to the modern economy is that you can’t even expect to find change in the couch cushions any longer

@chirpbirb the judge was very unfair and biased against me. RIGGED

Sadly, a judge has rejected my $60,000,000,000 pay package for operating infosec.exchange.

@spineless_echidna @Newk @GossiTheDog I doubt anyone would disagree, but many would shrug 🤷 and say “yeah, but that’s where my friends are”

Also, I am sorry to the many people asking me to donate/continue donating to $cause. Once I sort out my income after losing my job, I will get back on the horse. Thanks for understanding.

🤔 is it unethical to add “stealth startup” as your employer to your LinkedIn profile after losing your IT job?

@adb jokes in the mirror may be funnier than they appear

Y’all may have seen news this week that scientists have taken a picture of a photo. I think that’s lame, so I was able to temporarily stop light and take a video of an individual photon.

This is my groundbreaking video, which for the first time ever gives us a view into the sounds photons make when trapped

@Newk @GossiTheDog FWIW, after a year of declining monthly active users, and despite having moderated signups enabled and turning away about 60% of applications because they appear spammy, we’re up about 1000 MAU in the past month, both new accounts and old accounts becoming active again.

But alas, I can’t deny that infosec twitter is largely migrating to bsky.

I am thinking about starting a YouTube channel where I walk through orchid photography, partly because I love taking pics of orchids, partly because there’s not a lot out there on the topic, partly to help me improve, and partly (ok maybe mostly) to earn some money

No way
No way
No way
I do not want to go to the gym today
I do not want to work out with a rock
I do not want to work out with a sock

But here I go anyway

@Nonya_Bidniss I was thinking they might be able to see past some of his shortcomings like that, but you’re right.

I don’t see anyone talking about how Hunter is now qualified to be in the cabinet of the incoming administration

For those in photography, my favorite strobe is on sale right now (at least in the US) at Amazon. Look up the “AD200 pro II“

Super versatile and quite strong. It does require a trigger for your camera though.

@GlasWolf @catsalad that part hurt my heart. But the end was worth it I guess

@hacks4pancakes heck no. Not going to stop you from that. I’ve seen the pics of how you decorate and know better than to question such choices

So… I assume using excel for #adventofcode is cheating? I guess I need to pick a language.

@gentlegardener I went to Disneyland in early December and I am 95% sure I caught covid there - I was very sick after I got home and doctors were like 🤷

wow, it was 5 years ago today that the first person in Wuhan, China got sick with what we now know as covid-19, triggering catastrophic loss of life as well as what must be the largest and most ridiculous anti-science campaigns in human history.
