Teaching was my first love. Packets were my second.

I make classes to teach people how to defend themselves against hackers. In my spare time, I teach college students to compete in cybersecurity competitions, or try to take back my home automation from the cloud.

I very rarely end up finding a solution for an issue that works exactly as I dreamed it would, but Parsec (https://parsec.app/) is that thing. not to infomercial on you, but after working eight hours a day, I cannot sit at a desk any longer - Parsec is streaming my powerful personal PC to my lightweight laptop so I can edit to my heart’s content while flat on my back. it required no config or fiddling - it just fucking worked. I am astonished. (and grateful.)

Reminder kids, check the battery health regularly on those UPSes.

Yeah, that one, buried under a desk that you nearly forgot about. And if you replace the batteries on one don't wait to also replace the batteries in others of similar age even if they haven't failed yet.

Don't ask me how I know, I just know, okay.

I cannot imagine allowing attackers to keep stolen funds is a deterrent.

I went to a doctor yesterday to get my annual medical review for my drivers license. He was not my usual GP so when he asked me something about the computer I thought he meant, could he access my records. I said ok πŸ‘. But later on I realised he wanted to record and use AI to analyse our conversation so he didn’t have to type notes 😬😬😬 I felt a bit shocked. I was able to review the notes, so that was a relief, but wow. Anyone else had this at the GP? #AI

I love The Korean Vegan (Joanne Molinaro) for a lot of reasons related to her food blogging, but she's also a bad ass lawyer.

This YouTube Short is the first I've seen that explains really clearly what the warrant paperwork should look like if you're being asked to open your door (and don't just open the door - she explains).
