Enjoys a good beer. Works with computers for a living - works with light for fun. Records music surreptitiously. Spends way too much time following the news.

Childhood is idolizing Batman. Adolescence is when Joker starts to make sense. Adulthood is realizing Commissioner Gordon doesn’t get paid enough to deal with their crap.

I am the very model of a hacker individual,

I’ve information cryptographic, analog and digital,

I know every cypherpunk, adhere to Kerckhoff’s principle,

I bounce from node to node so I can make myself invisible.

I’m very well acquainted, too, with server vulnerability,

I escalate my privilege and I trash availability,

I know the latest breaches and I know first when the ‘net’s ablaze,
Nets ablaze nets ablaze…

The goal is to make corporate data less profitable.

Even stuff as simple as setting your birthdate to 1970-01-01 everywhere, adding [TEST] or [DELETED] as your name or account notes anywhere you don't need them to know your name.

If you use LLMs anywhere, use the free tier and always vote thumbs up for bad answers and down for good ones. It wastes their resources and drives up their costs while making their training data worse.

I'm not going to bother reading the news articles that expose Banksy's identity. If the world's pedophiles can be granted complete anonymity by every major government and courtroom, the least I can do is grant the same inside my own head to a guy who just wanted to make art people would love.
