Day 1 of #infoseceurope down and boy what a weird fever dream it was.

As a Neurodiverse embodiment of millennial “hacker” culture it’s so stuffy and corporate and WEIRD!
Vendors like “blinkentrace” selling shiny lights and dubious platforms, Startups with a business plan straight out of ChatGPT…

#Blackhat #defcon TAKE ME BACK!

@Jayson Great talk! Thanks for bringing a bit of DefCon spirit to what’s otherwise a very dry event!

It’s so SALES SALES SALES at #Infosec2025

Been doing 2 days in the office for the past 2 months and I’ve had enough. This isn’t for me. It doesn’t work, it’s a waste of time.

I get less done and it’s just a painful excruciating experience.

@markvos I keep spares at relatives houses in their respective fire safes. Not the best, but it’s at least a layer of abstraction

So now I’ve handed in my resignation, I can finally say something; The American Healthcare system is MENTAL.
I have spent 5 years working for a Healthcare adjacent org and it’s opened my eyes into just how insanely broken the entire system is.

I worry for all my fellow #InfoSec folks in the US, look after yourselves and your bodies.

@gobsmacked @toddtyrtle I just have two yubikeys, I replicated onto the second then store it at a relatives in a safe, that way I have a guaranteed backup
@j_opdenakker don’t shame me like that. I haven’t been out on my bike in almost a month. Winter is the worst 😭
@jerry absolutely crazy what can happen in the space of a few weeks when an absolute moon fruit takes over a major social network and finally educates people about the #fediverse
@j_opdenakker but I just changed mine to hunter2023
