My current life: I'm a mid-career switcher trying to break into infosec. I've got some certs and done some volunteer work, details at the links below.

My former life: I have PhD in Cultural Anthropology - I love talking about Peru and how local political actors imagine the state, navigate post-conflict development, and perform alternative citizenhoods. Feel free to chat me up!

I chat about all sorts of topics here. Of late my posts lean towards cybersec & IT, however.

I've taken a step back from all social media in 2025, my posts may be infrequent.

@joshbressers great episode with @Di4na !

If I were still in higher education I would have totally taken on qualitative/interview/ethnographic research tasked with identifying open source maintainers' needs. Your discussion was really interesting from the standpoint where cyber security can benefit from social science insights.

That probably all sounds a bit highfalutin, but bottom line is this episode underscores some really important points while also gesturing to huge areas where we have only a dim understanding of how to improve.

Hey @kalilinux, not sure this is the right forum, but any chance Vagrant Cloud is going to receive 2025.1c? I only see 2025.1.0 and obviously there is the signing key issue that borks updates on that one.

@estevez sorry, didn't mean for my question to come across as "justify your choices!" Just looking to learn.  I'm new to CI/CD producing a container, or bootable containers, so its fascinating to read your stuff.

Thanks as well for pointing me to your workflow directory. I was immediately struck by how similar Gitea's workflow is to GH. As someone who has recently looked into translating GitHub Actions workflows into GitLab CI, I love that Gitea looks virtually the same as GitHub's. Might check it out in my Forgejo instance.

@estevez I hadn’t heard of docusaurus, thanks for sharing. Also, the step of containerizing everything is fascinating - did you config the gitea runner to automatically do that and did you have a strong rationale for that step or was it for practice? I do something similar but not self hosted, nor containerized, with 11ty and gh.

Today's efforts. I spent about 8 hours painting over a piece that I had started back in Nov. I ended up changing it so much, saving only the orange tones and basic structure that I had sketched out for the sky. Much happier with this new piece!

"To grow up loving Star Wars is to eventually find that it never quite seemed to grow up with you, to realize that the children’s stories that thrilled you in your youth remain children’s stories when you return to them as an adult. And this can be fine, at times. (I’m not made of stone; I get my kicks out of The Mandalorian; I cried a little at “Chewie, we’re home.”) Getting a TV series that thinks seriously about what life living at the dawn of a fascist regime looks like, though? That imagines this galaxy I love as a place of real weight and texture, populated by real people—from the comfortably unthinking Imperial cogs of Coruscant to the oppressed farmers of Mira-Rau, and every point in between? That’s the kind of treasure I would happily have sat through five seasons of. I feel lucky enough that we ended up with two."

Great piece by William Hughes on the finale of Andor. I agree that if our choice, as an audience, was between nothing and a second and final season, I'm happy for what we have.

Still, its almost painful to see the skeleton of something extraordinary lying just beneath the surface of season 2 as it plays out.

@joshbressers @yossarian really interesting series on github actions so far.

Also, glad you talked with William about remediations - seems like people's default is to suggest a technical solution that sidelines business/human context. I'm interested in the earlier human side of your discussion and my brain automatically started drawing connections between that and remediations. In the context of discussing zizmore's personas, it'd be interesting to explore solutions along the same lines. Just thinking out loud.

Thanks for all the work!

@SecurityWriter and why isn't the public signing key immediately obvious?
Hi,
I am looking for a job either remote or hybrid around Karlsruhe.

I am an experienced Linux operating system software developer, having worked on the SUSE Linux Distributions, NixOS and as of recent on custom Yocto Images.
I am comfortable with C, C++, Python, Go and Rust and I can work on any area of a Linux operating system.
At SUSE I also debugged a variety of kernel issues and even wrote downstream patches for SUSE Linux.
