I am eminently qualified to speak from experience about a variety of dumpster fires.

ICS cybersecurity person, @pancakescon organizer, martial artist, marksman, humanist, level 14 Neutral Good rogue, USAF retired. Speaker available for gigs.

Gin connoisseur. Rodent parent. Some dipshit from Chicago. Now an immigrant in Melbourne.

I post *very serious* things about infosec. Thoughts are entirely my own.

The most benign but still absolutely terrible part of Palantir surveilling every move we make in global groceries is someone actually does know and permanently record when I eat nothing but paneer tikka masala instant meals for 10 days straight

When you’re an atheist, but you join the UUC to do human rights activism - and you get to sing songs from the book of the dead on Sunday whilst talking about First Nations rights

Today Oura announced the Ring 5, a nearly $500 wearable which locks you into a monthly subscription fee to even really use the data generated about your own health. Or, you could use Cracked Oura, which someone made to bypass the need for a monthly sub https://www.404media.co/cracked-oura-can-you-use-oura-without-monthly-subscription/
