Security person sometimes doing security things.

Turns out the security things succeed or fail because of people and their ability and willingness to do the things.

Been busy the last decade in fintech and supply chain of semiconductor secure elements and all the stuff around that.

Love tech, don't like the apocalyptic social and political environment we've somehow managed to create with it.

Otherwise, cooking for friends and family, travelling and meeting new people, reading books and making software.

In case you haven’t seen it, this spreadsheet of infosec Mastodon addresses is pretty great. Not sure how up to date it is, but it’s definitely adding to my follow list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t13k5_cNhP9_TgoUmqDZk2ROkWkF6Bg3O5269vKIqWw/edit

Fine, fine. I'll do this year's training my damned self.

Hello, and welcome to your company's oh-so-very-shitty Security Awareness Training. I'm Chief Cloud Economist Corey Quinn of the Duckbill Group, today I'm your Acting CISO while your actual CISO is out finding which bars are open at 9:30 in the morning, and I'll be delivering this training for you because I was absolutely NOT the lowest bidder.

Thread begins here...

If you think this information doesn't apply to you because you're not some sort of anarchist radical, remember that we live in a country with very vague laws on the right to gather and a police force comprised of rapists, abusers and those who enable them. This is information to keep *you and those you love* safe https://greenandblackcross.org/guides/key-advice/

So if I want a Sonos-equivalent, but from a different company, who sells wireless multi room speakers that are happy to pull from Fileserver, mobile or Spotify and that also do internet radio?
