Should I watch section 31 on my upcoming red eye flight, or is it better if we forget this movie exists?

Just got back in the house from watching the Perseids with my mom. Saw more than 5, probably less than ten, over maybe an hour? Despite the moon, thin clouds, and light pollution, it was really lovely!

Also reminded me that I've forgotten most of my once pretty good constellation knowledge. Time to get a night sky Almanac from the library and find some cloudless nights in Hamburg.

PancakesCon 6: Family Brunch - CFP

PancakesCon is a cybersecurity conference that will be conducted all day on 9/21/2025 (US Central Time). This conference is 100% virtual, not for profit and free to stream. **PancakesCon has a UNIQUE FORMAT. Please read these instructions carefully**: All PancakesCon talks must be 40-45 minutes long. They ****MUST**** consist of two parts: A brief talk about any cybersecurity topic targeted at junior professionals / students, and a brief talk about something which is not IT-related. The non-IT topics can cover anything from hobbies to fitness, cooking to music. Share something you're passionate about aside from computer technology or cybersecurity! Most people gave their talks in two separate halves at previous conferences with a clear transition, but you're welcome to combine the topics if you're feeling really creative! See examples on our YouTube. Example: "Active Directory Enumeration and Ballet Dance" CFP will close on Saturday, August 9, 2025 at 8:30PM US Central Time. CFP Notifications will go out on August 23 from hacks4pancakes at gmail (please make sure you allow this email). While we focus on diversity across all aspects of PancakesCon, our CFP review is blind. Please *do not include your name or any extremely identifying information* in your synopsis or we WILL disqualify you. ----------------------------- *Code of Conduct*: - PancakesCon is intended for a PG-13 audience. Please keep conversations and talks appropriate for young people (e.g. talks about making alcoholic drinks or medieval weapons are fine, but please be mindful of young people in talks and conversations) - PancakesCon talks and chat are moderated, and we have a zero tolerance policy on abuse, hate speech, and harassment.

Landed in Canada. Managed to resist the siren call of a medium iced Capp, and ordered a small. Coming from Europe, I just can't handle drinks the size of a human head.

Even remembering to order the small, I was like, how big can the small possibly be? 200mL? (How much could a banana cost? $10?)

The small is definitely at least 330mL, which is plenty to combat the burgeoning jet lag. The large is 650mL. I guess the medium must be half a liter.

Anyone ( @cy maybe?) have experience helping not so tech hobby family members use yubikeys / similar? I am thinking of suggesting it again to my family but some days I think it's almost too complicated for me, let alone folks who don't think about this stuff constantly.

Anyone know whether there's anywhere in Hamburg you can buy yubikeys /similar in person?

Weißt jemand ob es gibt ein Laden wo man yubikeys oder andere ähnliche Produkte kaufen kann?

I was very much looking forward to seeing several of you at why, but it turns out I won't be able to make it. My mom's getting knee surgery and I'm going home to help my parents with post surgery care, dog walking, etc. I hope you all have a great time!

And I'll see you at emfcamp next year!

It was definitely time to touch grass. And for me that meant going to teach Zumba. It constantly surprises me how profoundly it affects my mood! I'm so glad I found this incredibly silly sport which occasionally pays me to make faces in the mirror while dancing like a fool with several random strangers who will become friends!
