Correction: 49 years of thinking different and 1 year of sucking up to the oligarchy. 🫣

When electricity gets expensive, at night I go around to all the solar panels in the neighborhood, drill holes in them, and siphon off all the electrons. I had originally tried it with some car batteries, but the sulfuric acid burned the taste buds off my tongue. I've been too scared to try with li-ion batteries.
@catsalad I Am the Very Model of a Modern Cyber Specialist
I am the very model of a modern cyber specialist,
My posture is proactive and my mindset synergist,
I leverage blockchain paradigms resilient and immutable,
For threats that are, in practice, mostly quite disputable.
I’m zero-trust by principle, by strategy, by ritual,
Though flat networks persist beneath my slide deck quite habitual;
I champion quantum readiness, cryptography transitionable,
While SSH keys on our servers stay embarrassingly guessable.
I speak of AI governance, of ethics and alignment,
Of digital transformation in a cloud-first re-assignment;
I orchestrate compliance in a framework interoperable,
Yet patching legacy systems is declared economically implausible.
I circulate an SBOM with enthusiasm evangelical,
Though half the stack was compiled by interns quite mechanical;
I threat-model via workshops with sticky notes galactical,
But tracing actual packet loss I find impractical.
I quantify cyber maturity in gradients holographic,
With heatmaps operationally impressive and chromatic;
I benchmark risk velocity in dashboards most aesthetical,
While incident response remains distinctly hypothetical.
In short, in blockchain-quantum-zero-trust evangelistical,
In AI-driven thought leadership aggressively statistical,
In buzzword transformation visionary and fantastical,
I am the very model of a cyber strategist theatrical.
But when the logs erupt at 3 a.m. with evidence electrical,
I forward them to someone slightly more technical.
My apologies for posting last week and then deleting something other had boosted and replied to without explanation. I realized that between having my face on here and sticking out like a sore thumb at work, it’s not hard for things to get back.
May I offer a picture of the Dewiest of Dewbers, Mr. Dewey, realizing he lacks the thumbs to complete his heist to say sorry?
P.S. This my first time doing alt-text on an image. If I should do something differently, I’d love to know.

This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... no values are here.
What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular party... it increases towards the right... the party of danger is here... right in front of us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the person, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of hate.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
