Hello, my name is David. ('Dave' is someone else.)
I am a geekosaurus.

“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.”

ZT for hate, including, but not limited to:
- racists
- homophobes
- transphobes
- sexists
- religious bigots
- "alt-Right" (i.e. Nazis who won't accept the name)
- Nazis who accept the name (props for having THAT much integrity, I guess?)

By day, I am an information security guy. CISSP(2005), CRISC(2011), CISM(2012), CCSK(2013)

I'm an INTJ, so I love being asked. So, ask! Or read!

Idea: A new #InfoSec conference called "The Boring Security Conference". It covers topics and hands-on advice that are what actually keeps organizations secure. No zero-days, no APTs and no "if the criminal does these 39 things in precise order and you're not watching your owned" talks.

Now would be a good time for instance admins to clearly communicate with people on their instances about some things:

1. Are they going to block Threads?

2. Are they going to defederate from instances that do not block Threads?

3. When? How much time do people have to move accounts before they potentially lose contact with their friends?

Whatever you plan to do as an admin, please communicate your plan to your instance community.

The sooner, the better.

Scientists will be like "results should be replicable!" but then do all their experiments with a random walk of homebrew code that runs on four computers networked with a nest of BNC cables, each with a different version of MATLAB, and after every experiment the data is saved by walking a flash drive around to each of them since they cant be connected to the internet because one of them still runs Windows XP and if the rest so much as heard of a software update the work of 5 grad students whose whole PhD was spent setting up this monstrosity would be ruined forever.
