Father, Husband, HAM (AA5KS), Storm Spotter, Emergency Management volunteer, InfoSec guy. Nerdy opinions are my own and almost certainly don’t reflect those of my wife.
So, Infragard was compromised in some way and they decided to send out a notification to all their members discussing it… with. a. PDF. attachment. #nope
And so it was proclaimed: I hit my sleep goal 10 days in the last two weeks. Can I get a whoop whoop?!
Don’t forget, people - keep your leaves in your own yard!
I always hear (and just saw @malwarejake on that other platform) say things like “If you don’t get your processes down before you automate, just just end up with really fast bad processes.” While I agree with that, I’d also point out that sometimes process steps are skipped because they can’t be performed manually at scale. In other words - sometimes one must automate existing less than ideal processes to buy time to transition to continuous improvement and refactoring. Obviously if you’re doing stupid things manually, stop, and if automation is so complex it doesn’t save time, don’t do it, but sometimes automating what you have so that you can create time to refine and improve IS the right answer.
I think I found a live stream for the unveiling of the new #AirForce stealth bomber, the #B21Raider. It looks like it will be live tomorrow at 8 pm ET, which would be 5 pm PT at Edwards AFB. This site is supposed to have details too: https://www.northropgrumman.com/what-we-do/air/b-21-raider/. Here is the YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chJlJgrvfBY
B-21 Raider

B-21 Raider, the future of long-range strike, will be capable of penetrating the toughest defenses to deliver precision strikes anywhere in the world.

Note - I didn’t give away even a partial password or security question (for me or my family) in the above toot…
This is our new puppy. We have a Mastiff named “Clark”, so my wife named the lab “Lewis”. I believe he would have been more aptly named “Chet”. That is all.

The issue with Mastodon is that it’s confusing for a large portion of the population. The thing that makes it so incredibly interesting to us (the nerdy infosec/it/tech is folks) is precisely what makes it annoying to so many people that “just want things to work.” Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like writing ModeLines in a XF86Config file, but it’s not always easy to find folks on different servers, and now there are at least three different servers for the infosec community.

That said, it may work absolute wonders for people highly focused on privacy and anonymity - thinking of people that live in oppressive States, for example.

I love the tech, not sure about how broadly it will scale from a usability perspective.

I don’t dislike “Tulsa King,” but the notion that downtown Tulsa has a random horse running through it is completely absurd.

Blowing up the microwave while softening the yams before they go in the oven: 2/5, would not try again.

Thankfully, it was the only thing we were using the microwave before Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately, to reheat all of that goodness, I had to brave Black Friday shoppers to pick up a new microwave…
