Someone came up in a T. rex outfit at #GrrCon and made the speaker take a shot on stage.

Meshtastic has a good amount of users at #GrrCon not nearly the numbers of DEFCON or Hamvention, but enough for some conversations happening, but I did have to ignore 1 node for spamming #Radio #Cybersecurity #InfoSec

Watching NCIS S15E6 and cringing 😅 ham radio with “handles,” fake call signs, and tech that makes zero sense. Hollywood never fails to butcher comms & infosec. #NCIS #HamRadio #Cybersecurity

ARRL launched a nationwide grassroots campaign for the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act 📡 Urge your reps in the House & Senate to support it! This strengthens our role in emergencies. #HamRadio #Radio #AmateurRadio

Did something for my mental health: built a charging station for all 4 of my phones It’s away from the bed, and I only wear my smartwatch to track sleep. Inside: 2 charging banks, 9 USB-C ports (30W each). No more doomscrolling at 2AM. Space for my HAM Radio, and Meshtastic to charge too.

Heads up: no stream this Wednesday, I’ll be traveling for GrrCon. Excited to connect with folks there, and streams will resume after I’m back! #Cybersecurity #Streaming

Those who pretend to be perfect are often the most flawed, hiding behind an image because they fear the mirror. Perfection is just a mask. Mistakes are the real teachers, and the mirror never lies.

Ever look back a few years and think “good God, I was a schmuck”? 😅 Truth is, I was just lost. Therapy’s helped me process, assess, reflect, and actually change for the better. Highly underrated. 1/2

Been feeling a bit burned out between work & content creation, so I’m going to take it easy for a bit. Sometimes you need to recharge to come back stronger. Thanks for understanding 💜

Some people aren’t friends, they’re just drama parasites. If they keep dragging up stuff you’ve moved on from, they’re not here for you, just the chaos. These are the kinds of people you don’t need in your life.

I seriously don’t get the hype around Labubu. Honestly, I never got the Beanie Babies craze either. Thinking of toys as an “investment” is wild to me, collect if you enjoy them, but banking on hype is just insane.

Just took some Tylenol... I guess I’ll “rizz ’em with the tism” if RFK Jr & Trump are to be believed 🤦‍♂️ Wild how conspiracy brain turns basic meds into doomsday plots. #Tylenol

CHOTINER: So You created us right GOD: Yes CHOTINER: In Your image GOD: Yes CHOTINER: And sometimes we do bad things GOD: Oh Yes CHOTINER: And then you send plagues and floods GOD: OK I think I see where you are going with this

I do hope these tools can be added to Parrot OS, as I prefer Parrot OS for when learning and tinkering with red teaming

Oof! This is an expensive oversight. They were still mid-discussion for cyber insurance, and now can’t produce vehicles for months 🚨 Prime example: cybersecurity is an investment, not an expense. www.ft.com/content/c... #Cybersecurity #InfoSec #LandRover #Jaguar #Automotive

FDA Patch Notes v2025: – Fixed bug where Tylenol allegedly caused autism. – Nerfed ibuprofen. – Buffed caffeine.

What the hell—YouTube put my account in restricted mode!? 🤦 Found out when I tried to leave a comment. I watch cybersecurity & regulation vids… not kids’ shows. Wild that AI moderation thinks that makes me underage. 1/2

If Tylenol actually caused autism, half of Gen Z would already be running Linux and fixing my router.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Honestly overall this makes sense because less people are watching traditional TV. Almost no one I know watches actual TV, we have a TV with streaming apps via a device or on the actual TV.

If Tylenol caused autism, half of America would be coding in Python by now

Windows 10 support ends Oct 14. Reminder: Linux is still here to keep your old PCs alive. I even game on Linux these days, no need to toss good hardware just because MS dropped support. #Windows10 #Linux #GamingOnLinux #Windows11

I’ll be working on crossposting my short form videos that were on TikTok and YouTube to @skylight.social moving forward

Hot take: Too many only care about trendy human rights causes. Look at Sudan, tens of thousands killed, 11M+ displaced, yet barely a headline. If you care about Palestine, you should care about Sudan too. Why the silence? 1/2

Your ‘zero trust’ strategy doesn’t matter if Karen from accounting still clicks the UPS tracking link

AI won’t take your cybersecurity job. It’ll just confidently hallucinate why the ransomware note is a false positive

Good God!? How insecure can you be!? An app made to “out” Charlie Kirk’s critics has leaked its users’ personal data. You can’t make this stuff up. Weaponizing tech against critics and failing basic security. 🤦 🔗 san.com/cc/app-for-o... #cybersecurity #infosec #charliekirk

If your password manager is still LastPass, you don’t need a threat actor — you are the threat.

No stream tonight since Rosh Hashanah begins and I’ll be with family. 🍎🍯 Might make up for it tomorrow, so keep an eye out. #twitch #streaming

Half of infosec is arguing about tabs vs spaces. The other half is still trying to figure out why the printer is beaconing to Russia

Every time someone says ‘AI will replace cybersecurity jobs, I remember the last SOC alert I saw where ChatGPT would’ve just responded with “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

It’s a mix of gaming, chilling with chat, and diving into whatever cursed/funny content pops up. Basically: internet chaos with a side of gameplay. twitch.tv/chiefgyk3d #Twitch #Streaming #Gaming #Vibes #Linux #GamingonLinux #Cybersecurity

VPN? Nah, I just put a blanket over my router. Total stealth mode.

Finishing up my responsible adulting 🧺, laundry almost done & even changed my bed sheets (see ma, I am an adult 😅). Stream will be live right after! #Streaming #Twitch

Seen some ignorant takes lately, some bordering on antisemitic. “All Jews are Zionists”? Wrong. Many Jews oppose Netanyahu, while the biggest pro-Israel bloc is actually evangelical Christians. Stop flattening identities into bad faith stereotypes. 1/2

Funny thing, people can’t seem to tell what trolling is anymore. Not every joke, poke, or bait is malicious. Sometimes it’s just playful banter… but the internet forgot how to tell the difference.

Tried to delete system32 to make my PC faster… now it boots straight into enlightenment.

People don’t quit jobs, they quit management. In IT/cyber, upper mgmt often adds the least while driving away the best. I was overlooked for promos despite building automations, Terraforming, scripting & being the AWS go-to over “seniors.” 1/2

Would it be insane to think maybe half the users on X are bots? It seems like it got worse under Musk

Just installed Arch Linux on my smart fridge. Now it refuses to chill anything unless I sudo it.

Michigan lawmakers are actually proposing a total VPN ban under a “public morals” bill 🤦 This isn’t just bad policy, it’s policing morality. VPNs are vital for privacy & security. Tired of seeing this nonsense resurface. 🔗

Sometimes it does the soul good to do a little trolling 😈 Not the toxic kind, just the harmless, playful stuff that gets a laugh. Internet needs more of that energy.

A lot of today’s political violence comes from people being chronically online. Smartphones made it worse—no logging off, no cool-down. We forget people are more than their political views. Sometimes, you just need to touch grass.

I am now live on twitch twitch.tv/chiefgyk3d #Cybersecurity #InfoSec #GamingonLinux #Linux

no trump the US Citizens are paying the tariffs

No stream tonight—I’m wiped out 😴 I’ll make up for it tomorrow with extra energy. Thanks for understanding, see you then! #Streaming #Twitch #YouTube #Kick

Thinking I may need to re-record my “Why I left Twitter” vid I had planned post-Charlie Kirk incident. People will assume it’s politics or “liberal echo chambers.” Wrong. It’s about Twitter killing API access, Infosec Twitter dying, bad engagement & paywalls for automation. 1/2

Just learned about loop-on-ground antennas 👀 Considering one (maybe buried a bit so my dogs don’t knock it over) + a switch with a 2nd antenna to boost 160/80/40m, where the CHA-250HD is weak or needs improvement. #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #Radio

It’s interesting seeing the sudden shift: years of railing against “cancel culture,” yet post-Charlie Kirk, many are co-opting it. To be clear, I don’t celebrate his death despite our differences. But the irony here is worth noting.

Thinking ahead: maybe a spring project, adding another antenna for better 80m/40m. The CHA-250HD is solid, but I can do better. Considering end-fed, inverted L, or dipole w/ more LMR400 + a switch to swap between them. I want to avoid a scissor lift again though #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #Radio
