I build the simplest solution that works. Java & NodeJS backends. Appsec-smart (claimed without proof). Work for a large enterprise making software for other large enterprises. Opinions mine.

Moving out of Ohio to keep my #TransKid safe and my current employer won't let me take my hybrid job full remote, despite the reason.

Anyone got any full remote #CyberSecurity jobs open? I'm a blue teamer with experience in incident response, endpoint protection, email security, and SIEM engineering. Can probably settle in to #ThreatHunting or #ThreatIntel pretty quickly too!

#InformationSecurity

[Edit 2/19/23: I got a job! Fully remote, and they know I'm moving to a different time zone. Better title and a significant raise! Thanks to the DOZENS of people who responded with tips and leads.]

[Edit 7/10/23: We've relocated to Oregon and are getting settled into a lovely Portland suburb with more pride flags than cars. Cheers to a new life!]

@mjf_pro I… I… just want an instance of Postgres. It would take me maybe 5 minutes the old fashioned way starting from an unformatted system.

Using Glassdoor in the past couple weeks. For some reason their emails now arrive written in Portuguese. Would rather practice my Spanish. ​

Huh, Google Authenticator app's first screen now shows no TOTPs, just the service names. I hadn't considered the risk that mitigates and tried to take a screenshot, to share. Nope! 👍​😄​

Observation about #wwdc: we are well on our way to the dystopian cyber future. But at least things will be easy to use and sexy.

I just noticed "foreach" on npm is controlled by a single maintainer.

I also noticed they let their personal email domain expire, so I bought it before someone else did.

I now control "foreach" on NPM, and the 36826 projects that depend on it.

Hey, I share an opinion with Tim Bray: "5G Skeptic", https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2022/03/26/Is-5G-BS

For sure Bray is super smart and knows a whole lot of stuff I don't know, but still...

The dart language docs have many allusions to llamas and I now have to consider this odd predilection may not be limited to just one person.

"Imagine you’re conducting a big study of typing performance. You put thousands of people through a battery of typing tests, then crunch the numbers. The data is clear: faster typing speed is correlated with fewer typos. Therefore, you conclude, the best way to avoid making typos is to type as fast as possible." https://www.outsideonline.com/health/training-performance/ergodicity-problem-performance-research

Data. Can't live without it. Can't trust it!

Why Your Post-Exercise Recovery Differs from the Average

New findings suggest that results from large training studies can’t be generalized to individuals
