Infosec guy. I'm just here for the memes. Midwest is best. All opinions are mine, etc, etc.
@deviantollam Holy smokes! In my defense, I just said they might be able to do it. I didn't say it would be reasonable. 😬
@deviantollam If PCBWay can't do it, you could check with SendCutSend. They do small batch work like that too.
@hacks4pancakes I consistently get cold sales emails addressed to the company president in spite of the fact that my email address is my first and last name.
Pardon me for not trusting my business to a company that can't even be bothered to validate their spam list.
@mttaggart Yes. This resonates with me big-time. I don't want to have to consult some ideological purity chart just to buy a thing I need for example. And I live in a small town, meaning my options are already severely limited.
If my options are to buy something from an online retailer with dubious morality or drive two hours one way to buy it at a supposedly "better" company, then the latter isn't really a valid option.
The recycling metaphor is a good one. Corporations put the burden of "guilt" on the individual instead of being held accountable for their actions.
TaggartPhenomenal reporting from ProPublica. Big takeaways:
- FedRAMP is too understaffed to be effective.
- Microsoft never answered serious questions about its cloud security architecture.
- Despite a damning report, Microsoft's government cloud product was approved anyway.

Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway.
A federal program created to protect the government against cyber threats authorized a sprawling Microsoft cloud product, despite the company’s inability to fully explain how it protects sensitive data.
PepijnHi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.
Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.
🏇 🐎 🐴
Have you sat on a horse?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.
Yes
No

Kevin BeaumontStryker have a liveblog of their security incident, linked from the front page of their website:

tl;dr is most customer systems aren't impacted as they run on Linux, but their corporate Windows systems are toast so please hold the line.
