money can't buy happiness means rich people can't shortcut to inner-peace by buying it, not that it's okay that regular people constantly have to find new ways to do with even less

As a Lego puritan, I'm a bit conflicted...I have a non-Lego flowers set and it's really lovely and I feel so guilty! But it's so PRETTY! 😍

Monday. 9 business days until I'm on leave...not that I'm counting or anything. >.>

If someone asks me how I'm going, I'm literally just sticking with the Norwegian "Up and not crying" these days, because....look, if that's the best I can manage, I call it a win.

Other folks 40+ - is being tired just a part of living now? Will I perpetually be half-zombie?

Spent the day cleaning out my garage, then playing video games, and will be finishing up with a bit of Lego building. All in all, a productive Sunday!

Nothing says "Good parenting" like a nastygram about the amount of Robux you've bought your kid in the last month 😅

When I deny a request from MS Authenticator, I want to be able to attach a reason - which would then be subsequently sent back to the mf trying to sign into my account. I'd love to be able to tell them to fk off and E.A.D. Can someone make this happen pls? 🥺

Wooooooo! @hacks4pancakes.com on stage and KILLING IT!

Wooooooo! @hacks4pancakes.com on stage and KILLING IT!

So pleased that's now done and dusted! 45 minute slot was closer to 30 😅 got through it all, but had to rush the ending 😭

Heading down the Gold Coast as we speak for #AusCERT - speaking (Again! I know! I don't know why they keep having me back either!) tomorrow morning. Hoping folks are entertained but also take something away. I'm a big fan of giving homework!

If there were any expectations of any kind of accountability for anything, a security fuckup of this magnitude (a repo called “Private-CISA”!) would be a massive administration-wide scandal, inspire congressional hearings, and cost many their jobs. But her emails? krebsonsecurity.com/2026/05/cisa...

krebsonsecurity.com/2026/05/cisa... "...noting that the commit logs in the offending GitHub account show that the CISA administrator disabled the default setting in GitHub that blocks users from publishing SSH keys or other secrets in public code repositories." I have so many words. All profane.

How bloody rude of my phone to call me out like this...

May the 4th be with you - make Space Mum proud. 🖕

Work in security. You learn to hate everyone.

it’s always a great day to say fuck this shit

Finally finished the storyline last night - Mephisto was a bastard to kill, died at least four times! This expansion was amazing - was so happy to see an old friend come back. The lore behind the game is so engrossing and there were so many easter eggs for long time players!

Wanting to spark my social media presence back up, but honestly unsure where the hell to start...it's been so long! What do you lot want from me?!

Today is taking too long. Too. Long.

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Main reason for rising again is being asked if I really *need* my .wtf domain. Yes. Yes, I 100% bloody do.

Popping my head back up again to breathe. Also, my daily weather is insanely accurate yet again.

I call bullshit, I'm freezing 🥶

Someone sent me this little guy to my PO Box - and I have no idea who! But I adore him. He's so soft and he even has a name! Douglas! 🥹😍

What the actual fuck... www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

My hands are beautifully clean, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Taken me a while to get around to this one - but this is a brilliant look at AI (though it is going to scare the ever-loving fuck out of you): www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_9w...

Back here on Bsky, having my 6 monthly existential crisis of "Is it me or is it them?" 🤦‍♀️

Agreed.

This floof 🥰 Her favourite spot in the world to sit, if she can't physically sit on Mr GirlGerms 😅

I just realised, I never posted my epic 40th birthday present here! The Lego Titanic, in all her glory...and also with the light kit from Light My Bricks!

age 15: Computers are amazing! I'm going to do amazing things with computers! age 45: explaining to the fourth person this week why Chat GPT is not a replacement for google or the library or friends

Stuff like this makes me cry pretty much every time These types of people should be the ones in charge of shit

Happy Sunday folks 🌺💜🥰

This is giving me warm and fuzzies 🥰 tiltify.com/@ironmouse/i...

Trying not to let work and personal bleed too much into eachother, but want to make sure this gets out and has good reach. If you've got on-prem SharePoint, please go do the things, because this is *nasty*: msrc.microsoft.com/blog/2025/07...

Hard judged for the volume of my music in my car this morning by folks at my local coffee shop and honestly? Zero fucks given. It's Sunday, if I want to scream along to my metalcore, I fucking will.

"Look at that cute fluffy belly!!!" 😍 Narrator: It was a trap...

Drawn into the dirt on the back of my car yesterday morning - didn't notice until today. Guessing due to the volume (and type) of my music. My response? 🖕

Men in this industry will really be like "Hey, you should be aware this other guy has a bad reputation among women" and continue to publicly support and uplift said guy. And it's honestly exhausting and demoralizing. Your actions are louder than your words.

NEED MORE LADIES 💄💅💜

Tough love is bullshit. Emotional honesty paired with empathy is invaluable. And I wish people understood the difference more often than they do.

Dropped my kiddo at school today and this was outside her principals office. Figure it's such a good message, I should help spread it further 🫶

At BSides Brisbane today, being around amazing humans in security - *MY* people. It's almost been like therapy. Lots of hugs, lots of knowing "How are you going?" questions, lots of friends 🥹 Representing by wearing my "Hackers In Heels" sweatshirt as well 💜
