Librarian by day, whitehat by night. Cybersec consulting on the side when companies are in deep doo-doo. Probably one of exceedingly few 30-somethings to touch cobol 74 without spontaneously combusting.

If you live in the Nordic countries I have probably touched your bank's backend inappropriately. Multiple times.

@PogoWasRight seeing a list of 39 vendors with “legitimate interest” is pretty much the quickest way to get me to close a tab.

It’s an absolute joke that they can describe something like that.

I feel like "Cyber Monday" is really everyone from BlackHat and Def Con getting back to their day jobs 'n stuff.

I think this shows how @linuxfoundation is not necessarily on our side.

@da_667 Here are some I saw around Defcon today. #defcon #DEFCON33 #sticker #stickers

we live in a world now of systems with multiple gigabytes of RAM. Multiple Multi-Gigahertz processing cores. SSDs with blazing I/O. Even in the face of moore's law, multi-core systems, and even ARM-based multi-core systems are still performing extremely well. All this, and even in spite of the business world's best effort, broadband has, in general, improved greatly.

So how is that, the way forward with web protocols is "my dogshit-performing JS framework has lead us to web servers that have to use UDP to perform at scale." and not "javascript was a language created in a handful of days, maybe we should re-visit that."

@da_667 Hey! Hey! Want *more nightmares*!? Most modern OT and Industrial IOT controller systems run an IBM project called NODE RED which is a successor to an older project called CODE RED that did OT protocol communication amongst other things. Why bother building something specific when you can use something generic right? Can you guess what NODE RED runs on? That's right! Node.js! THE FACTORIES RUN ON JAVASCRIPT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tomorrow's prairie thunderstorm threat map is a giant bunny rabbit. Bewaaaaare!

I feel like we are losing kindness in our society, and this crushes my heart.

Empathy seems fading.

@GossiTheDog I hope this isn't too risqué
