I would have rather hired Jim Schwartz as #browns Head Coach and get a talented OC. Keep the best thing in the building thats been the bright spot of Browns games. Defense has started to make a comeback with the lack of top tier QB's staying healthy. Now that he wants out, I expect average […]

Why does my financial institution need to give my DOB and SSN to their marketing partners?!?

One tool that was shown to me a few years ago that continues to pay off is the great CyberChef. It's like a cyber swiss army knife. Doing any type of security, debugging, reverse engineering online? There is most likely a tool for that. https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

Major courts blocking your DNS records at say Google? Nothing technically stopping you from hosting your own DNS server on the open internet and telling people to use your IP for dns queries. Unbound makes it easy..

Cool #swift Lang FreeBSDkit that provides Swift Overlay for FreeBSD system APIs. https://github.com/SwiftBSD/FreeBSDKit #freebsd

Cool Blog post about the Mac Malware of 2025 from @patrickwardle. Glad to see 2 of my findings made the list (Kitty Stealer/Purrglar & PasivRobber). https://objective-see.org/blog/blog_0x84.html #cybersecurity #apple #macos

Happy #meshmonday #pdx. Some Portlanders have created an alternate mesh with custom LoRa modem settings. We ask everyone to have up-to-date firmware and responsible broadcast intervals. The current mesh reaches from Vancouver, WA to South Salem and we're looking to extend it down the valley […]

#macos folks!! Today is a *great* day to: ```bash brew update && brew upgrade && brew cleanup && brew doctor ``` then: ```bash brew bundle dump --file=~/Brewfile --describe --force ``` to create a `Brewfile` you can use to "quickly" restore the Homebrew bits that you rely on.

Microsoft has the worst 2FA Authenticator App... the UX is bad like really bad.

The #browns win against Steelers! So glad we got the W. Would rather get the W than a better draft pick. Sanders needs to go a bit but I think he could be the QB of the future which means our draft pick can be better supporting cast around him. Go Browns! #nfl

Calling all #starwars Fans on #meshtastic. I created a Star Wars channel for just us. Set it up and be on the lookout for fellow fans on the airwaves! Channel: ImpHoloNet PSK:WQX8r9UVVv2lGoyfTc37PV6BsLVIJ2Bk2Ow2ndhu66w=

Random thought: #meshtastic is like the original way internet was created where no one link could break the entire network. If one link went down it would go around and continue on. From what I understand #meshcore is like today’s internet. Where you have infrastructure nodes that if they go […]

What a win by the Bears! Great game. Go Bears! #nfl #bears

Slight ponding around around the house. Some slight wind gusts hitting the trees here and there. Hopefully we don’t loose power tonight. MHGrid: CN85mm #pdxtst

FWD to SNL Cold Open Please and thank you.

When your ER follow up appointment Doctor shares the name of a Star Wars Character.

NIST: No Password Expirations CIS WorkBench: Password has Expired please Reset your Password... 🤦🏼‍♂️

As a #browns and a secondary #bears fan, this is a good game to watch. I hope Sanders plays well today.

UPS Photo of the package that was just delivered... What is this an action shot? Also none of the foliage in the photo is of my location. 😂

Hard to take Apple seriously when they care more about UI than completing their default Shell transition from BASH to ZSH... Oh so you will update the Default Terminal UI but not follow your own Support Article. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102360

You can hide URLs in #meshtastic with Markdown. The iOS/macOS version of Meshtastic app will only show the URL/Image text, but hide the URL. The packet will still have the full markdown message.

Quick #freebsd people, I need a dual boot laptop for FreeBSD and latest Windows. Anyone have suggestions? Something that is not expensive preferable!

I’ve seen enough of Dylan Gabriel. Shedeur Sanders has the “IT” factor. #browns

Holonet SSD space has been increased! Ever have one of those "duh" moments? Yea I did. The reason why the upgrade failed last time was because I forgot to boot off the correct SSD and not the newly replaced drive in the Zpool. Only took me one reboot this time to remember there are 2 different […]

The #plex app is so bad that I can watch a quarter of football on VLC direct from HDHomeRun or the Plex Web App and hardly use any battery, 3%. The Plex app? Half the battery.

TimTam snack. Reminds me of the time when a speaker brought a whole bunch to @MDOYVR yum yum

First #browns rookie QB win since 95… I was younger than my son and he seems unimpressed. Time to fire up the Browns tunes. Victory Monday tomorrow!!!

Let’s go #browns

TIL iOS Simulator will attempt to activate Bluetooth when a user tries to log in to a site using a QR Passkey. However, the simulator itself doesn’t actually establish a Bluetooth connection, rendering Passkey logins ineffective in the iOS Simulator.

I found a vulnerability older than I am. I’m you can tie people’s names to phone numbers and physical addresses. First you have to take out the free booster seat from under your younger self. Second you open up this large document with pages that are white and yellow and read black dots on it to […]

While #cloudflare is down why not try to find Luke and the secret messages in the Hoth system! https://holonet.imperialba.se/@zolotkey/115567768922167289

Is it not clear yet that it is time to decentralise the internet? The recent outages from major providers speak for themselves. We need a network that is more distributed and secure. #internet #it #sysadmin

Last full work week for me until next year! 😊With so much "use or lose" PTO time with the reduction of PTO carry-over to 2026, I decided to work "part time" for the month of December. 4 day weekends till January with 2 full weeks off mixed in.

To be honest when first saw this I thought it was someone trying to sow up the iPhone hole for the new iPhone Sock holder thing. #apple https://h4.io/@brettezeleliquide/115558187417728895

I’m trying to upgrade my Mastodon server from 4.4.3 to 4.4.8 since yesterday waiting for yarn to run its update. Currently the yarn process is running at 200% CPU, 0% memory, and been going on for 10+ hours. Any ideas? #freebsd #mastoadmin

Is there any "network device" simulators out there that would allow me to host 20+ network devices on one host to troubleshoot DHCP issues? I would like to spin up a VLAN between some infrastructure switches, a DHCP server and a host. The host will just request a bunch of DHCP operations over a […]

NVD is borked! San Francisco IP address shows a CVE as Not Found, multiple people confirmed, including myself via VPN. I stop my VPN and go out locally and wham NVD shows the CVE just fine. :)
