Max Leibman has moved!What do I do for a living? Like many of you, my primary occupation is entering passwords and two-factor codes into a variety of apps and websites all day long.
Mike ElganAll the recent chatter here about scones got me craving scones, so I made a batch.

Stop saying I ‘created’ people like Marjorie Taylor Greene. That’s asinine. She was created in a meth lab.
Robert MaguireI've never watched anything before that is this hilarious, sad, enthralling, and....boring all at the same time.
George Takei Performances of Allegiance begin in just five days! I'm ready for you, London. Are you ready for me?
Steve HermanOne of the trees in my yard here in #Virginia has decided to let off a bit of steam to welcome the New Year.

BrianKrebsEverything online gets leaked, lost, sold or stolen eventually. This is a fundamental reality that catches up with everyone. BTW this is not a recently acquired conviction: https://web.archive.org/web/20190216141214/https://twitter.com/briankrebs/status/1045091640480804864
But please, convince me I'm wrong if you can!
I know that over the years I've radically overhauled how I interact with companies I chose to do business with. For starters, I assume breach, which means that any information I share with them is likely going to be on the Internet at some point.
E.g., I no longer sign up for a new account somewhere without also doing it in a local, hardened VM and VPN.
I assume that the IP address I used to sign up there will be leaked in connection with my other account details, and probably the last IP I used. I assume records of what I'm doing or buying there will also be leaked.
Hell, I do pretty much all of my news reading now in the same kind of (separate) setup. No way I'm agreeing to run 97 pieces of Javascript from 22 uncertain destinations on the web. I know a lot of my readers unfortunately swear by ad blockers and rarely make exceptions (I'm not a big user of them myself for a variety of reasons), but being able to reset your system after a weekend of wantonly browsing the web is also nice.
Those are just a few basic examples. But I'm curious to hear from others -- How have the folks here altered the way they live and work online in response to the incessant reminders that everyone gets pwned?
Some food for thought over the, er...food coma the next few days :) Cheers!
