I've been in and out of information security professionally, but somehow always have related projects. Mainly working with zeek and network level detection at the moment. SDR, cycling, and climbing enthusiast.

I boost a lot. Topics range far and wide from security and "the cybers" and may include politics, food, humor, science, law, nature, art, and other sundry unsavories. I occasionally post my own projects and thoughts.

@NanoRaptor a buddy of mine was Carol Browner's (Clinton EPA) press secretary. For the Y2K event, every Cabinet department had members on-hand in the specially-designed Y2K bunker, which was later used for the Bush-Cheney transition team. Anyway, everyone at the bunker that night had to wear a color-coded Jerzees sweatshirt cardigan: red was fire/ems/hospitals, blue law enforcement, etc. The press secretaries and assorted hangers-on wore green. I'm guessing they all looked like Mr. Rogers

Today, *every* living prior leader of NASA's science directorate have released a joint letter condemning the proposed cuts to NASA science. These individuals every administration from Reagan to Biden, and all believe these cuts are insanely destructive.

Military operation in LA's MacArthur Park (which did not appear to actually involve detaining people, thankfully... looks to be grandstanding and/or deliberate provocation)

ABC7: Troops aid federal immigration agents during raid at MacArthur Park, officials say

"Defense officials told ABC News that 90 armed troops were involved in the operation in support of immigration authorities in Los Angeles. All of the troops involved in the operation were activated members of the California National Guard. The operation included some 17 humvees, four military cargo trucks and two military ambulances."

Troops aid federal immigration agents during raid at MacArthur Park, officials say

Video shows armed federal agents, some on horses, walking across a soccer pitch. Mayor Bass said minutes before, more than 20 kids were playing on the field.

Do you own any items - individual specific items, not just ones of the same type - that have a cultural significance in some group?

A Trek prop, one of Mulder’s office posters, one of Steve Jobs’ turtlenecks, an old Mac that belonged to Douglas Adams, an animation cel, the spear of Longinus, a pope’s finger bones - anything?

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.

US-based friends: If you are as horrified about potential apocalyptic cuts to NASA science as I am - know that it is NOT TOO LATE to do something about it. The cuts are not a done deal!

The Planetary Society makes it very quick and easy to contact legislators about this. It really just takes moments, it is SUPER easy to do (I have done it!)

Check out the link and take action!

Friends outside of the US: Boosting info helps also if you are so inclined.

NASA science faces record cuts. Take action to stop it—we'll show you how.

@ai6yr part of me wonders if alarm fatigue was a contributing issue to this disaster as well. There's enough low water crossings in the places I've lived in Texas that flash flood warnings are pretty commonly wide blasted on days with heavy rain, so I'm sure a lot of us are desensitized to them.

Lighthouse, 2014.

This abstract photo, captured inside a lighthouse with a small 35mm-format mirrorless camera and a 50mm lens, is mostly a visual pun on the concept of a lighthouse, as well as a study in diagonal and radiating lines.

It was very tight quarters, especially with the tripod. But a tripod was essential here (less for sharpness - at 1/3000 sec - than for composition and framing).

@mattblaze Out of curiosity, do you keep notes on all these photos? I ask because this was a photo from 2014, but you still mentioned the tight quarters.

@jpholbrook Mostly, yes.

@mattblaze – to me it immediately invoked a fresnel lens, which adds another layer to the pun.

@mattblaze very nice (I'm a fan of lighthouses) - what are we looking at in that image? Looking at it on Flickr it looks like it might be part of a wall illuminated by the window?
