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.

Dear Dems,
Stop asking. No more money. None. Until you get your act together and respond with the fire and fury and action the times demand.

I am once again asking companies to not be absolute shitbags about their data breach disclosures, such as deliberately blocking search engines from seeing the page by using a "noindex" tag in its HTML.

Today's edition: Australian airline Qantas.

Mexicans aren't stealing American jobs. North Koreans aren't stealing American jobs. AI isn't stealing American jobs. Corporations are making staffing decisions based on perceived short-term profits. It's those decision makers that should be catching the heat, not the people trying to get a job and get by.
Texas Is Fixin’ to Fix Repair: Right to Repair Signed Into Law

Over the weekend, Texas became the first Republican-led state to enact a Right to Repair law for electronics (and the seventh state overall).

Also found out that Microsoft FS 2020 has recently introduced XBox live account requirement, and if you read the Steam forums there are quite a number of people having problems logging in and playing the game. Game has gone from good to beta and now downhill.

Basically €120 of mine are gone. Thank you Asobo so bloody much.

So - warning: stay away from any game made by Asobo/Microsoft. If you want a flight simulator, get XPlane or any other simulator, even AFS2 is decent, but with VR built in from the start.

Incidentally, we are hiring two Senior IT Security Engineer positions.

Remote? Not hardly. Not an option. RTO is in full swing.

On site in

  • Memphis, TN
  • Maryville, TN
  • Birmingham, AL
  • Lafayette, LA
  • New Orleans, LA
  • Charlotte, NC
  • Raleigh, NC
  • Dallas, TX

I have a great boss who is sympathetic but who is bound by HR and executive management to RTO.
What I'm saying is, if you need time for family stuff or whatever, you can take it; you just can't work remote or even (apparently) hybrid.

Lovely Buick.

The Commodore is a very rare slug.

The Orange Torana has me very worried

And the yellow SL/R is gorgeous.
