At @BSidesLuxembourg As per other events I am masked. I am full of a cold, I tested for Covid, RSV, Adeno, flu and strep, before departing, and all clear, but wouldn't wish this on anyone. Workshop today with @snyff (@snyff.pentesterlab.com on bsky) was […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The tech sector is massively failing older people. I just spent over an hour trying to assist an elderly neighbour with her home phone. The provider’s website and contact phone number make it as difficult as possible to speak to a human, defaulting to mobile phone based text workflows. The […]

@merill Since passkeys came up the other day, you might find the discussion @filippo kicked off over on BSky interesting https://bsky.app/profile/filippo.abyssdomain.expert/post/3mkvf3fw7mk2m

Le sigh. Every time we go around and have to do this again and manually figure out wtf each of the ten thousand linux distributions provides their security updates and current status. Spending my Saturday morning searching for CVE-2026-31431 and "copyfail" patch status is just 👍. Anyway […]

new blog post! https://lina.sh/blog/ddos-honeypot i stumbled across a secret fake DDoS-as-a-Service website ran by the dutch police, and when i started digging into it, they panicked and shut it down really funny story, if anyone is interested how such a fake website looks like, take a read ^^

How it started / how it’s going

Are you looking for an #opensource alternative to #Jira? Are you especially looking for structured backlogs & agile boards? We've been exploring, through user interviews how the backlog refinement & sprint planning experience in @openproject#opensource#jiraould evolve to better support #agile teams. We also […]

For folks who aren't over on BSky.

Our call for sponsors is still open. Our financials for 2026 are still a bit sketchy, we wouldn't mind 2-3 more sponsors to ensure the stability of the planning :). Feel free to boost or send to your friends working for cybersecurity vendors, and thank you so much to the awesome sponsors who […]

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@merill/116203323789181775 If I wear my EUC security hat, I understand why something like this is being implemented. If I wear my OSS, or security testing hat, I can see this is going to be unpopular for certain groups of people.

We're discussing arranging a 'future of detection engineering' panel at #bsidesluxembourg2026, but unfortunately the only pureplay-DE submissions we have on the topic are from men. And 'manels' are stinky by nature. DOES ANYONE KNOW SOMEONE NOT-white-male who is planning to (or would be […]

Does anyone have a decent way to integrate card payment/Apple Pay/Google Pay with Pretix? We're using Mollie now, but it looks like they're taking 24% of every transaction.

RE: https://akademienl.social/@Frederik_Borgesius/116119324034099770 Ooof, I've felt that data protection in NL is viewed differently to the UK, so the quotes from some of the stores consulted shouldn't surprise me. "...drugstores...say that forwarding data on pregnancy tests is indeed in line […]

Well done to the British government on updating this page https://www.gov.uk/guidance/electronic-travel-authorisation-eta-guide-for-dual-citizens yesterday, saying you might be able to travel as a dual national with an expired UK passport AND the other nationality passport, just as lots of […]

I have been using crisp sandwich photos from https://vole.wtf/buttystock/ instead of the godawful stock images in Sharepoint since 2024. Today was the first time anyone has asked why a technical post I'd written was illustrated with a photo of a sandwich.

I want to make a video series about trains. The idea is we take the directors from national railways, and set them each a challenge. - SNCF, they have to get to a board meeting in a very small town at 10am, and another in a different town at 1400. They have to use trains, they can't use hotels […]

What do folks use/recommend for household project management/task tracking? Trello, Jira, MS Planner, a spreadsheet, something else? Any which can be kept private to the household, and/hosted in Europe? Thanks @Edent @neil
