They should make a Fast & Furious spinoff solely focusing on Han. It’s time for Han’s Solo era.

Sooo I think I accidentally lost my mastodon Postgres database. That’s probably bad, right?

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I am following up on the interesting thing where `truecrypt.org` was purchased in early 2025. It looks like it is basically the same as it was before it went to auction, but the footer has this weird Trump comment in it.

I'm prepping to blow away my Windows 10 machine and probably abandon Windows forever, and I found this "exploit.bat" in my documents folder that had been sitting there for 6 years. Could probably get a CVE for this in 2026...

Tangentially related to my maintenance woes today, did you know that you can subscribe to the releases feed for a github project via appending `/releases.atom` to the end of the repo url? Kind of sick. Poor man's supply chain notifications. github.com/mail-in-a-bo...

Upgraded my mailinabox server today to ubuntu 24.04 before I learned that ubuntu 24.04 is not supported by mailinabox. The mail sending and receiving part still works but I'd be willing to bet a bunch of other random things are going to be broken that I won't notice bc the web dashboard is broken

I don't remember any of the context on why I made this, but found it again today in my projects folder, and it remains true today.

The people of California are clearly demanding high speed efficient transportation options. If only such a thing existed where they could go fast AND play on their phones the whole time. Anyone heard of any technology like this?

I can’t wait to see Stewie Griifin’s Principal Shepherd’s Ruth’s Chris’ Baz Luhrmann’s William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet at Donald J Trump’s John F Kennedy’s Memorial Center for the Performing Arts

Google should try delivering useful search results again.

Honestly this Fedora LPE (unpatched but public) is incredible. I read it last night and woke up this morning thinking of the galaxy brain move of using $PWD to bypass input filtering for the character “/“ initblog.com/2025/abrt-ro...

who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

Connection to the users and their desire paths is the most important path of working in security and nobody goddamn does it. You are gonna make compromises. And they're all gonna be worth it. Because you understand what they want and you're gonna deliver it and they're gonna stop doing stupid shit.

getting my kid a book about rust for christmas that way when they unwrap it i can tell them they arent following best practices

cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

Obvious porn titles aside, “Peace through strength” is getting real close to the fascist, supremacist Norsefire slogans from V for Vendetta.

23anddeleteme please

I haven’t been paying attention but has anybody done a “You Don’t Mess With The Zohran” movie poster yet?

I'm really sick of "open enrollment" why am I having to decide shit every year until I die

No, email inbox, Black Friday does NOT start today, Monday November 3rd.

I’ve been reading documents and speeches from the founding fathers in an effort to learn more about the early days of the country. This morning I read Benjamin Franklin’s “Rules by Which a Great Empire May Be Reduced to a Small One” from 1773. Think I may have stumbled upon the 2025 playbook.

@swiftonsecurity.com your deleted post caused me to lose some very well crafted alt text on images I was posting in response, but bsky won’t let me reply to a deleted post. Try this outfit if you want to counteract your LLM observation.

A 9th-grader just told me a joke: What does the F stand for in John F Kennedy?? Nothing. They added it after he died, to pay respect. (What's funniest to me is a 13 year old knowing some dumb reference from when they were three. Internet culture is wild.)

The stupid ass Gemini icon near my window controls in Chrome might be the straw that breaks the camel's back and finally gets me to uninstall Chrome.

I think about this a lot.

@umich.edu faculty call for an honorary degree for Trump “We have proven that we have no hard moral principles and no hill on which we will die.” www.michigandaily.com/opinion/op-e...

There’s a line in Charlie Chaplin’s “A King in New York” from 1957 where the king says “I’d rather be thought a successful crook than a destitute monarch.” Little did he know that in 2025, a man from New York would prove you could be both.

Mike Johnson gives big “top of the list at layoff season” energy. Like the guy in standup every morning who says “I’ve just been really busy but I’ll finish that task this week for sure” for 6 straight months.

The OpenAI browser is a plot to remind us that even though Chrome collects as much as it can about us, it can always get worse.

me to my therapist after every session

signed up for the mecha unit and they're saying my mecha will form the balls and ass of the giant dude our team assembles. i asked if they could make me like the back or the foot or something and they said it's either balls and ass or i have to give back my signing bonus and join the infantry

@textfiles.com I don’t know how to request something get archived, but Robert Murray-Smith passed recently and I think YouTube channel should be archived. I’m not home for quite a while or I’d do it myself. I don’t know how YouTube handles these situations. youtube.com/@thinkingand...

I guess I haven't clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025. They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.

Let’s talk about AI art. theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

@deviantollam.bsky.social hi again, I am looking for a lock recommendation for a home. I feel like you said a specific schlage lock that has a little keypad on it in one of your talks, but don’t remember which talk or which lock. Is there a specific model number better than the others?

OH: “would you rather wellness stipend or health care? I would rather wellness stipend” Oh San Francisco, you goofy fucks.

I decided to publish my Murdergram Freeverse song that I made for @elcannibal.bsky.social's Subnet Project for Defcon 33. It's very unpolished, but it has some wordplay in it that I'm particularly proud of. Enjoy. Or don't. I'm not your mother. soundcloud.com/0xdade/murde...

Every time a “thought leader” rings the AI bell, a developer’s home directory gets its wings (an LLM runs `rm -rf ~/` on their workstation)

I normally take ibuprofen for my assorted pains but now that I know tylenol is good for autism I may need to switch.

Damn, third earthquake in Berkeley today. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

2. Do not give advice you haven't tried implementing yourself. Eat your own dog food. 3. Get feedback on your guide from your target audience before publication. 4. Incorporate that feedback. This is not an optional step.

There is a lot of demand for digital privacy and security advice out there right now and lots of people are giving advice and writing guides. I beg them to do a few things: 1. Be explicit about the threat model your advice is meant for.

The defining lesson of this first year of Trump authoritarianism is that kowtowing & capitulating yields zero permanent benefit and only emboldens the admin to come after you more. This critical lesson was first documented in the landmark political science treatise “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.”
