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.

Anyone working on an isolated VM/app container runtime for a web browser anti-fingerprinting?

I'm not sure such a thing is practical/would see sufficient uptake, but if there is a stand to make, it's probably there. And there is likely some interesting tech there too.

The fact that I can click on a scientific article link and hit a paywall in 2025–when the scientists were paid with public money, the research conducted in public institutions, and the cost of publication subsidized by public funds–is an abject failure of society.

It is a foundational law of the universe that any protocol or API with "Simple" in its name will eventually grow a function named "addUpdateBucketMetadataJournalTableConfigurationInputChecksumMiddlewares".

I was quoted in this Teen Vogue article about mask bans and the harm they pose for the disability community.

This is the kind of inclusive journalism Teen Vogue has been doing for years.

If Bezos purchases them, it’ll be the end to stories about disability, trans rights, immigrant rights etc:

Mask Bans Insult Disabled People, Endanger Our Health, and Threaten Our Ability to Protest

Mask bans in cities like LA and New York are a dangerous prospect, putting people’s health at risk and allowing cities to identify protesters who wish to remain anonymous.

If you've been following any of the terrible data-related news coming out of the administration but haven't been able to step back and get a sense of the big picture, I have good news for you, which is that we just published a timeline compiling soooo many wild stories and events at @unbreaking.org

WeTransfer just changed their ToS to allow them to train AI on any files you transfer through them.

Don't use there service, especially for work that you don't have the right to relicense to them (e.g., commercial work that's exactly the most likely to create the huge files WeTransfer specializes in).

(ETA: this is already going boom so I'm muting it.)
