I may be an organic large language model. Blue team graybeard. Toots are my own, rarely represent anyone else's view on reality, and may have been written in a country that processes nuts. “Be well read, not algorithm fed”. He/Him #BlueTeam #CyberDefense #PowerShell

Artemis-ii crew: We’re back from the far side! We have to tell you about weird glowing portal we passed through. But first, what’d we miss?

CAPCOM: Welcome back, Integrity. We have President Trump on the line with some words of congratulations!

Artemis-ii: Haha that’s a good one, but April Fools Day was last week. Go ahead and put President Ocasio-Cortez on!

CAPCOM: …

Artemis-ii: Oh no!

@vika Welcome! Here's a few extra InfoSec accounts I like that's not on Lesley Carhart's 2025 list:

Organizations:
@haveibeenpwned - Publish news about data breaches.
@CyberSecCanon - Curated InfoSec books reviewed by the Ohio State University.

People:
@SheHacksPurple - You might have seen her from Darknet Diaries by @jackrhysider. She wrote a couple of books application security.
@alyssam_infosec - CISO, also wrote "Cyber Security Career Guide."
@agent0x0 - Host of "Shared Security" podcast, covers InfoSec and privacy news.
@accidentalciso - Host of "the Mindful Business Security Show," covers cybersecurity from SMB leaders' POV.

Extra: @catsalad. InfoSec pro, but I mostly follow them for cat pictures.

A topic came up at our family gathering today that I was sadly unprepared to answer at least the tools portion. What are good resources/ tools to help older adults (seniors) with #cybersecurity. I know some sites to send people to but this seems beyond some. Particularly those who only use phones and want assurances they haven’t been ‘hacked’. #AskFedi

As an almost 70 year old man, I have some advice for young men.

Please boost this if you think it will help

1. Your voice doesn't need to be heard. In fact, realizing that you don’t HAVE to have an opinion on everything and voice opinions or ideas in meetings or social gatherings, is amazingly liberating. You can actually just shut up, and relieve yourself of all that effort and stress. Let Bob utter his embarrassingly dumb idea, let Shirley have a say. You can just let it be for the most part

Try out a new podcast. You can learn something new or just enjoy having someone tell you a story.
