Who embeds JSON in a CSV field with strings in strings? And variable names which are all similar but represent different things? And they love talking about pivots?

Yes, still looking at Azure logs aka interpreting Unix pipes within a SQL-like language. Relational databases, this great unknown, must be new technology, Postgres is clearly Spanish for dessert, I must have missed that.

Also, the barrier to being an APT in Azure is sooooo low, you could hide half the population of the world singing “Happy Birthday” in those logs and never hear a pipsqueak.

TamaGo is now ported to https://aifoundry.org Erbium processor!

The erbium_emu demo is live at:
https://github.com/usbarmory/kotama

I so look forward to expand support for this platform with a meaningful workload API, taking advantage of bare metal Go!

The worst part about organizing a conference is definitely when you have to send out submission-rejection emails.

We hate this part. We apologize and wish we could accept all of you.

We can't. So sorry.

Thanks so much for all of your submissions, we've worked SO SO many of them into the agenda for this year's BSidesLuxembourg, which you can find here on @pretalx https://pretalx.com/bsidesluxembourg-2026/schedule/

Tickets are on on @pretix https://pretix.eu/BSidesLux/2026/

The new LaCie rugged disks, now under Seagate ownership, are a pile of smouldering bovine excreta.

They are so slow it is painful.

Got myself an IcyBox RAID1 enclosure and, well, so-much-faster with two 3.5" HDDs…

Current status: running an empty query for six months of Azure logs to download all of them onto my Unix machine to use civilised tools to find out what happened.

Le conseiller IA du 🇻🇦 pape (oui, c'est une fonction) fait un diagnostic de l'hérésie de Peter Thiel et c'est honnêtement brilliant:
“Peter Thiel agit sur deux registres simultanés, révélateurs de la profondeur de son hérésie politique : d’un côté, il finance les forces centrifuges qui érodent l’État-nation ; de l’autre, il arme l’État pour instaurer un contrôle panoptique”
