ok so some of yall may remember me smashing a bunch of network equipment with a sledgehammer last year. i did it as a fun way to raise funds for my good friends who had rescued a bunch of puppies & their mama. well, meet Buster. he was found shot in the mouth & unable to eat normally 😞 https://www.gofundme.com/f/give-buster-a-chance-to-live-and-love/

i dont do this often, only for these specific ppl. but they’re raising funds to help with the cost of surgery to get his mouth back to a state where he can eat properly on his own again.

if u have a little to spare, pls consider throwing it their way. i can personally vouch for these lovely folks ❤️

Our pals over @ Censys have some great extra info (from their unique perspective) on the ASUS ORB network we published info on this week. Worth a 👀!

@CyberSecCanon @wendynather you should have a big swanky launch party for it (naturally called the Cyber Canon Ball)

Also, I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I'll say it again:

Part of your job as a senior is to tell your juniors about your fuckups. The embarrassing cringe reckless and lazy bullshit that you did when you were new, and the various times you brought down Prod. We ALL did it sometime. And then tell them: the moment you realized you fucked up, I know, the impulse is to try and cover it up, but don't do it. Come to the seniors you trust, and they'll help you unfuck it, and fight management tooth and claw like mamma and pappa bears to defend you from any shitheads in management. Because that's what our seniors did to us.

There’s someone here who I’ve been basically hate-following. I was impressed with their thinking and didn’t feud with them or anything, but was frequently annoyed with their takes and doubted the authenticity of obliquely-recounted episodes from their life.

But then I recently had an interaction with them where they were very human and vulnerable with me, completely unprompted. And it was like a switch flipped. I saw everything they posted completely differently. I’m totally empathizing with them and can’t empathize with my past self at all for having disliked them. I’m having a hard time seeing what the big deal was.

It’s amazing what a little empathy will do—it can even change a first impression!

Yes, please.

New mug! :D
