I am a security advisor working mostly in GRC, I also work as an auditor. My academic background is electronics and my experience in IT infrastructure. I hold the typical professional certifications that are sought as "lettre de noblesse" in this field. My interest resides in expanding my understanding of technology. My aim is to engage with people in the hope we gain mutually and to achieve a positive outcome about protecting information and preserving privacy. Je vis en français et travaille en anglais.

I'm excited to announce our "Out-of-Band" series; these articles focus on the security risks of management devices like BMCs, serial servers, and IP-enabled KVMs. "Out-of-Band, Part 1: The new generation of IP KVMs and how to find them" is now live at:

In a private #Github organization, in a private repo filled with NDA code, Github decided that to automatically start reviewing that code using Copilot.

Mind you, Copilot is disabled for this organization.

Could we please just fucking not ?! Not even mentioning the fact that the Github organization didn't enabled this, there is no data policy to be found in sight. I have no clue what Copilot does with the data after it "reviewed" the code and I could potentially be breaking the signed NDA.

I bet my fiancée that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

It is frankly obnoxious that portal.office.com now redirects to a Copilot page with no direct link to Outlook, Word, etc. (you know, Office...).
God, this bubble burst is going to be so brutal

Enormous long shot.
I lost my necklace today (Sunday June 15th 2025).
Probably somewhere in Brussels during the #IkTrekEenRodeLijn #RodeLijn manifestation.
It was a custom made present from my wife.
If anyone found this, or sees it posted as found somewhere, please contact me! 😢

Hey, cis dudes. I need you to show up as allies at trans #pride events this month. Don’t make a big deal out of it. Don’t expect to win awards for it. Don’t hit on people. Don’t make it about you. Just swell our numbers.

And stand between us and the cops and transphobes, please.

#boost welcome.

My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts

@kcarruthers that was a tough read. If you approach it as a </rant> then you can smash it out and move on, but if you take it as a heartfelt plea, and engage with the content, then my goodness. Not all of the OPs arguments are equal, and that makes responding difficult, but if I had to pick out just 2 issues, I'd suggest 1) AI is being used to justify working at speed without careful consideration of the trade-offs being made and 2) the flippant attitude towards "take-rr jerbs" is incredibly selfish (and horrific if you look at the industry wide impacts, both now and into the future).
@ppossej yep and we need to start thinking thru the implications
