Everything old is new again.

An unusual item in my collection, Mister Black’s Secret by Catherine Barr. At first it seems like an early example of cheezburger speech but it was actually written in a shortlived teaching alphabet called ITA.

Just did a 10k run and knocked nearly 12 minutes from my last 10k time. I wasn't going for speed, looks like there's something to be said for pacing yourself! #running

Two more weeks until cybersecurity awareness month Prepare to be aware!

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall. It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?

Wordle 1,547 2/6 🟩🟨⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that was unexpected! #wordle

Tag yourself. I'm fish 2.

Looking forward to @sec-t.bsky.social this week in Stockholm! Got a preview of the venue today and it looks pretty special ✨

Talks from the SteelCon 2025 security conference, which took place in July, are now available on YouTube www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

If an adult uses a VPN to avoid age verification who does that hurt? None of this makes any sense.

I use USB daily but I have no idea how it works 🤔 USB 2 vs USB 3, USB-A vs USB-C, the PD standard… this talk is full of interesting details 💎 And now I even understand why my USB-C power bank doesn’t work with *this* cable unless flipped 🙃 media.ccc.de/v/why2025-25...

The moon is looking a little eerie tonight #WHY2025

Nothing says hacker camp more than World of Techno #WHY2025 #WorldOfTechno

The road trip to #WHY2025 is under way! 🤘

live action catbus looking pretty sweet

I'm drinking the Bios Crash slurpee I hope it crashes my bios I hope I blue screen

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird. (he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

Watching the UK public react to age verification there feels a lot like rewatching them realize what Brexit actually was. Yes, the leopards are going to eat your face US lawmakers… take note

Who invented early flights and why 😵

We are finally ready to announce that EMF 2026 will happen on July 16-19, 2026, at Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Herefordshire. Expect more updates soon as we start spinning up the organisation again.

Friends! Any spare tickets to #WHY2025? Roadtrip is on, baby!

I once wrote games in (Turbo) Pascal, though mostly with spaceships rather than dragons. Perhaps if I'd had this book...

Just did another 10k run, but in warmer weather. Feeling good after, but my god that shower is going to be amazing 😄

Just had a tiny zebra jumping spider hop onto my leg and eye me up before hopping back off. Absolutely adorable.

I still can't get over the fact that "panels you point at sky and make electricity from sunlight with no fuel is the cheapest source of energy" needed explanation.

Tyrannosaurus rex lived closer to the release of the Apple QuickTake 200 digital camera than it did to Stegosaurus.

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron. This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM. Links in thread. #retrocomputing #retrogaming

This is because of the Online Safety Act, and UK folks had better get used to doing this because every site on the internet that "is likely to be accessed by children" and has users in the UK will be doing this as of 25 July; that's Ofcom's deadline.

Montreal squirrel has places to be 🥜

Me leaving the house for the first time in a week

During our recent travels across Europe a partner took me running. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it, but I just did my first 10k and it felt GOOD. I... think I'm a runner? 🏃‍♂️

If you're heading to BSides Leeds this is a must-see talk from the wonderful @erlern.bsky.social

Terrific summary of Linux process injection techniques www.akamai.com/blog/securit...

autistic people will really get bored one day and end up finding a vulnerability with a CVSS of 9.3

Final ticket drop in just less than an hour. Waitlist will activate once we're sold out. If you miss getting a ticket it is worth signing up to wait list. (Similarly if you're holding tickets you can't use please refund them for others to use)

The notification snooze option on Android is great, but why can't I snooze things for more than 2 hours? I need to snooze things for days until I'm back from travels sitting at my laptop

I've just made that 6 new countries in 5 months.

If you load this page it contacts 82 IP addresses executing 256 separate HTTP transactions to download 18MB of data writing 64 cookies to your device to tell you “no”

"You’re always so prepared!" Thank you, I’m autistic and need to be at least three times as prepared just to feel half as comfortable.

BlackHoodie will be back at @reconmtl.bsky.social this year ☺️ It'll be two days of Breaking Down Binaries: Introduction to Reverse Engineering & Malware Analysis by @bitmaize.bsky.social and Souweera de Souza, registration is now open blackhoodie.re/recon/

Made a cocktail for my wife and she put it in the freezer, inadvertently creating a new superorganism please hel—*glurk*

I made a tool to help test archive (zip/tar) extraction bugs (sync working directory into archive, add path traversals, links, permissions, etc): github.com/avlidienbrun...

Made an insert for a Zippo that holds 2 Yubikeys. If you print one let me know how it fits and which printer you used. Files are available on printables: www.printables.com/model/128385...

Not satire. Fast track to talk rejection if you can’t be bothered to QA your submission, why should we believe you will deliver better quality on stage?

We still have a few tickets left, why not treat yourself on this beautiful Saturday afternoon and come visit us in Sheffield this July. ti.to/steelcon/2025/
