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 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 👍. 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

@MrInappropriate @VeroniqueB99 looking at the Italian prime minister, though, we should be careful in how the leading woman is chosen. I'm tempted to say that any woman-politician is better than any man-politician, and having more women in leading roles in politics, PA, and private sector alike is probably the first fundamental war to be fought...
but maybe in Italy in this specific case we have a rare exception?
for sure we need more women in charge to be able to tell 😁. statistical significance to the rescue!

I hope they don’t get snatched by ICE & put in #AlligatorAuschwitz.

Note that the Camo Crazies fighting their imaginary friends in the famous park in LA are NOT helping the people in trouble - who could be their real friends - in Texas. Cowards. Afraid of getting their balaclavas dirty perhaps. 😐
