Tonight's baguettes for fondue... #bakestodon

Environment Canada predicts a mild La Niña for Vancouver this winter, but above average temperatures for the autumn. We could use the wetter, bring it on. #YVRWX

With all the WaPo firings over Charlie Kirk it almost makes me wish I hadn't already cancelled my subscription so I could cancel it again. #cancelculture

Any fee beyond the price of an event ticket that is not a government tax should be required by law to be labeled "Enshitification charge".

Life in downtown Vancouver... My wife and I are watching Task Master and we hear Sarah MacLachlan loudly coming through the window. My wife complains that it's too loud. It is actually Sarah MacLachlan performing live across the street. Not too loud.

de Adder. 🎯

has anyone used `git reset` with a filename argument, like this: `git reset HEAD^ file.txt`? I'm having trouble thinking of an example of what that could be useful for, would love examples

For pete's sake, @mozilla : if you want to measure whether the AI/ML features are worth a damn, put a big green "disable all AI in my browser" button on the version update screen and put some telemetry around how many people instantly click it. Just about everyone I know who has taken the 142 […]

I expect most news from the US to have an element of insanity these days, but cyber letters of marque? Really? (https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/21/congressman_proposes_bringing_back_letters/) For a legislative body that appears to have a median age of 60, the US Congress appears to be […]

The announcement that the Google Pixel 10 will support C2PA (https://contentcredentials.org/) is a huge victory for freedom from AI slop. Now Apple and Samsung please! I have been pushing for this support on commodity devices for years, as authenticity is the only way forward, you can't prove a […]

It was awesome collaborating with @tomflood.bsky.social on this project. So cool to see this up!

Baguette night.

Trying to wrap up RSA Conference submissions. Damn, they don't warn you how tiring "thought leadership" is...

Ah, another "strong MFA bypassed" story. /me opens article, starts scanning for buried lede Ah, here it is ... paragraph 8: "First you have to compromise the endpoint" 🙄 Surprise! This is _not something passkeys were designed to mitigate_ […]

Rode out to Jericho Beach this morning. It's nice and cool, so not very busy. #yvrbiking

My favourite thing about RSA submissions is how they tell you that bullets are not allowed and all of the example successful submissions in their FAQ have bullets in them. #infosec

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/artificial-intelligence/claude-gets-1m-tokens-support-via-api-to-take-on-gemini-25-pro/ you have uploaded 75k lines of code - your entire codebase - to claude. it has given you code back that appears to run, but you only made sure it fired without errors […]

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

I HAVE DEMENTIA AND NARCISSISTIC SOCIOPATHY!!! I AM A GRAVE NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT AND A DANGER TO THOSE AROUND ME, ESPECIALLY TEENAGE GIRLS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

@bazcurtis I don't know if you saw our Black Hat giveaways?

On my way to Las Vegas. This is my excited face.

What is this, 1997? Not confidence inspiring...

Any FediFriends that will be at Black Hat who would like to meet up, please DM!

There is no limit to the sleaze. I got a marketing pitch in my work email today that included creating a flattering Wikipedia page as part of a "package" to promote my awesomeness. I'm tempted to do it so I can identify and report all of the pages they have created.

AI integration may seem very recent, but has been woven into the fabric of cybersecurity for many years. However, there are still improvements to be made. In our industry, models are often deployed on a massive scale, processing billions of events a day […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

@chetwisniewski the thing they werent told when they were ordered to "move fast and break things" was that some of the things in the "scope" of being broken were things like "their legs, their jaw, their nose, their arms, their spirit, their will to live" etc :D

Wait a minute, do I have this right? I've spent most of my career battling against SQLi and watching things like the NX CPU extension being rolled out to fix the mistake of mixing data with code/instructions all to watch everyone throw their arms up in the air and go YOLO "ignore all previous […]

#cisa tags #citrixbleed2 as exploited, gives agencies a day to patch https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cisa-tags-citrix-bleed-2-as-exploited-gives-agencies-a-day-to-patch/ #cybersecurity #citrix

Back then

Canada is in an abusive relationship with the USA. We need to treat their behaviour in-kind. Put the digital services tax back on, and increase it every time they make another tariff threat. You can't negotiate in good faith with a deranged madman.

Musk made a Nazi salute and programmed his bot to spew antisemitic conspiracy theories, but of course these two things occur in complete isolation from each other and it would be unfair to draw conclusions about a person based on the things he does and says.

Posting about Prime Day deals to Mastodon feels... off-key?

celebration time! #usenix #usenixatc #usenixatc25

Afternoon ride to Jericho Beach. #yvrbiking

A lot of Microsoft fans have asked why our logo is four squares and why we don't have a cute mascot like Linux has. We do have a mascot dumbass. It's a cat riding a fucking T-Rex. If that's not cool as shit I don't know what the fuck is.

BSides Vancouver, which I had the privilege of keynoting this year, sadly had some customs issues which prevented the badges from arriving on time. I've just picked mine up and looking forward to having a play. This year's theme was mis and disinformation. #bsidesyvr #badgelife #infosec

@SecureOwl If it is any consolation, ACARSDrama is the 4th most interacted with instance on my Mastodon server
