SwiftOnSecurityThe reason I went from Helpdesk Engineer to Security Engineer is because a lot of it is a subset skillset, if you're trying to build truly resilient systems and ensure nobody fucking calls you with their problem because the issues never happened in the first place, because you designed for the worst possible scenario.
I didn't learn most of this stuff because I was responsible for Security. I learned because it was my job to clean it up, either per-machine or a whole-network compromise. And I really didn't want to do that.

Dan GillmorThe pro-covid cult started with Republicans, but now it's basically everyone who (wrongly) imagines he/she isn't vulnerable. This now includes Democratic politicians who once said they cared about public health.
Their message to older and most vulnerable people (typically due to physical conditions they can't control) is simple: Shut up. We don't care about you -- at all. https://thegauntlet.substack.com/p/zero-masks-on-the-house-floor-is
Ah, still learning on the Mastodon journey... my login issues are due to trying to login to the wrong server... have to login to the server where your account is.

When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.
Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.
This is the only real time travel paradox.
Sounds a lot like #libraries to me, but social media too.

Penny D SackettIn 1968, they knew about their connection to #ClimateChange.
That year, the American Petroleum Institute received its commissioned report on the pollutants the industry was generating.
The report explained that #FossilFuel use released carbon buried for millennia and, if this continued, oceans would warm, ice caps would melt, and sea levels would rise.
“There seems to be no doubt that the potential damage to our environment could be severe,” it concluded.

How an Early Oil Industry Study Became Key in Climate Lawsuits
For decades, 1960s research for the American Petroleum Institute warning of the risks of burning fossil fuels had been forgotten. But two papers discovered in libraries are now playing a key role in lawsuits aimed at holding oil companies accountable for climate change.
Brian Klaas*Sheepish request* I'm new to Mastodon, but a lot of my former Twitter followers don't know I'm here yet. Someone suggested I could simply ask you fine people to boost me. Would you be so kind? (I promise to post a photo of my dog to say thanks). #WelcomeToMastodon
