One of the more frustrating aspects of using GitHub for business is that;; despite all of the investment they've done to make it more accessible and useful for enterprises, some basic administrative functionalities are still super tedious to manage.

For example, you want to get granular audit logs for more than some small look-back window? You must use their API, and you can't just be an org admin/owner, you have to be an enterprise admin/owner to do it (which is a separate role that doesn't inherit any organization permissions).

They've come a long way in recent years with enterprise needs, such as adding log streaming options, but some things still feel like they take much more effort than they should.

Hi folks - do any of you use Snowflake, by the Tor Project? https://snowflake.torproject.org/ I run a node and it's pretty simple to set up.

for the past few years, i'm sure many of you have read my many lamentations about the death of the old, small web many of us grew up with.

there are tons of static site generators out there, but none of them did what i wanted: something that could build an entire site without futzing with javascript and library dependencies. i wanted something that we would have had in 2005, but didn't have in 2025.

in january, i decided to do something about it instead of whining. i started gluing together a few php scripts i had been using to build blogs, rss feeds and mini homepages. i even wrote a new mini markup language.

i thought it would take me a week. it took >3 months. 😅

it ran for the past month as globaltalk.network's interactive site, and many of you asked if i'd ever let other people spin up an instance. i can finally say: yes!

today, kiki is officially finished and released for public use. named after my little black house demon, it's small, fast, and sometimes well behaved. and, it's all written in php without a single external dependency. just unzip and go.

it's released as shareware - in the oldest, finest, jankiest meaning of the word: you're free to goof around with and share the unregistered version. build your own little kiki instance, and customize the heck out of it until it feels like your own little home in the world wide web:

I had a conversation today at work and someone said “No one under 35 knows what BSD is”.

Let see how that works in here:

(35th birthday + 1 second is over 35.)

Under 35 & know about BSD OSes

23.8%

Under 35 & don’t know about BSD OSes

1.4%

Over 35 & know about BSD OSes

71%

Over 35 & don’t know about BSD OSes

3.8%

Wow. CVE database is in serious trouble, tomorrow.

The cyber industry as a whole is in trouble also really, it’s the elephant in the room - the collapse of the White House’s support for cybersecurity is obvious and pronounced due to widespread cutbacks.

EFF calls on cybersecurity community to stand up. Great piece by @evacide

We can’t talk about defending democracy by being silent. Being silent is defending authoritarian control.

Cybersecurity Community Must Not Remain Silent On Executive Order Attacking Former CISA Director

Cybersecurity professionals and the infosec community have essential roles to play in protecting our democracy, securing our elections, and building, testing, and safeguarding government infrastructure. It is critically important for us to speak up to ensure that essential work continues and that...

The White House are going after Chris Krebs and his employer, Sentinel One.

They’re also going after CISA.

They call Chris a “significant bad-faith actor”.

Shocking stuff by the USG here.
