I'm genuinely grateful to be trans and grateful to be autistic. I wouldn't be ME otherwise and frankly, I think being me is pretty cool.

Thanks Alex. That rings my bell for sure. “Here have a second busted memory unsafe kernel, running on an already unsafe kernel, next to another dodgy kernel. Tada! You are now wicked secure”, well that seems like a stretch we’re all going to have to spend some cycles on fully understanding!

LET'S GET READY TO RUNTIME RUMBLE! edera.link/vev3bsky

I recently had a conversation with someone who was shocked that I was from Alabama because they couldn't hear it when I speak. I worked very hard to renounce my accent, and it only comes out subconsciously when people mention southern accents and that's it lol

Kindness is punk as fuck.

Annoying things about being trans in 2012: getting asked if I've had "the surgery" and "which way I'm going" Annoying things about being trans in 2025: literally every societal ill is apparently our fault and also a lot of people want us to cease to exist.

The fact that the next version of Debian is named forky is making me unreasonably excited.

You'd think I'd remember to stock a first aid kit, but nope! Just wrecked a scooter and got scraped up and I've got nothing to help. Anyways if you don't have one, let this be a reminder to get one <3

Brick had a moment of deep reflection.... But what was she thinking about? 🐇🧱 #cuteanimals #pets #rabbits

oh look its me

sometimes if you have nothing nice to say, it is better to say nothing at all. that's why i don't have anything to say about that one topic everyone's talking about.

“Security can be effectively built-in from the ground up when properly designed,” comments @edera.dev's @alex.zenla.io on Apple's latest push to eliminate memory safety bugs. More from @lhn.bsky.social & @wired.com www.wired.com/story/apple-...

Remember to support your friends and family and tell them that you love them. It's becoming increasingly hard to forget the impermanence of life, and I personally try to subscribe the idea that you should treat others like every moment might be the last for either of you.

You can tell I am a nerd because if I ever win the lottery, the first thing I'm going to do is paying good money to make the following projects: 1. ext4/btrfs read/write on macOS with FSKit 2. apfs driver in Linux Can you imagine what life would be like if modern filesystems were portable?

If you publish OSS please include a security.md file — TIA

Hardened images ≠ runtime security. Real threats happen after deploy—zero-days, creds, malicious AI. Hardened runtimes embed isolation by design, stop lateral movement, and cut pager fatigue. Security shifts from chasing alerts to preventing attacks. More from @jsalazar.co for @thenewstack.io

I have to spend a lot of time on LinkedIn for my day job, and it's incredible how many people on there, regardless of political alignment, truly believe that everything they have, they've earned, and how anyone with less than them deserves to have less.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Anne Moffatt's memoir, The IT Girl, details the story behind the photograph with the baby—where Moffatt, then Technical Lead at Shirley’s company, Freelance Programmers, programmed the black box flight recorder for the Concorde

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

It's sorta funny that Thunderbolt is mostly a complete disaster on anything that isn't Apple. Anyways, my many hundreds of dollars Thunderbolt 5 dock does not function on an ASUS ProArt Z790 Creator Wi-Fi motherboard in Thunderbolt 4 mode because of either ASUS or Intel. Works on Apple stuff fine..

It appears that macOS 26 ships with DPDK related stuff. Yes, that DPDK. > /usr/libexec/dpdkswitchd >> rte_eth_promiscuous_enable

As an aside, my long running project to create a version by version diff of all of macOS continues to bear good fruit like this. I diffed all of the man pages and got surprised. If Apple won't give us release notes worth a damn, we'll just do it ourselves!

I've been trolling through the macOS Tahoe man pages and I stumbled upon this.

growing up means realizing that Michael Eisner was probably better than Walt Disney at running a creative company and that if Walt had been allowed to build EPCOT it would have failed miserably.

The old security perimeter is gone. AI & cloud-native workloads demand defenses in the runtime itself. Hardened runtime = isolation by design, minimal attack surface, real-time containment. Stop chasing alerts. Start preventing attacks. edera.dev/stories/hard...

Edera Protect just won Innovation of the Year from @cyberscoop.bsky.social. We're helping to future-proof infrastructure with no tradeoffs—near-native performance, airtight isolation, and zero workflow changes.

I am not a language purist but I don't think I can trust security software that is only written in shell script.

Edera is making secure computing simple, scalable, and real. Two @cyberscoop.bsky.social 50 nominations—one for the tech, one for the visionary behind it. Cast your vote for Edera Protect and @alex.zenla.io : cyberscoop.com/cyberscoop50...

With a heavy heart, I have to remind everyone that Kubernetes v1.30 Uwubernetes is now EOL. If you are still running on v1.30, please upgrade your clusters uwu 👉👈😔

There's still time to vote: @alex.zenla.io, Edera co-founder and CTO was also nominated for a @cyberscoop.bsky.social 50 award as "Most Inspiring Up and Comer" AND Edera Protect was nominated for "Innovation of the Year" Voting closes July 25th. cyberscoop.com/cyberscoop50...

Edera's virtualization stack relies on the Xen hypervisor for securing and isolating container-based workloads. On top of that is a vital control plane, orchestrating guest lifecycles, resources, and networking. @alex.zenla.io explains why we wrote the the Xen control plane in Rust.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

It may be July now, but we just want to say that regardless of the month, LGBTQ+ people have always been here and will always be here, no matter what various entities might try to say to the contrary!

It's 2025 and containers are still not a security boundary.

This was a major pain in the ass. I put a number of hours into this, and the main issue ended up being the open source decoder used in the decompilation doesn't seem to support Smacker's latest codec version very well (v4).

I support the trans folks who are leaving the US for their own safety. I have the resources and the support network to do so if I wanted to. However I personally feel that the trans folks who stay deserve support and love, and I would not feel comfortable abandoning those people. I'm here to fight.

Want to push back against the bigoted attacks targeting trans and gender-nonconforming people? Here are specific ways you can help—with your time, money, and everyday actions.

I was one of the people who actually liked it when MacBook Pros had 4 Thunderbolt ports... I wish they hadn't split out the 4th one.

Tonight I am installing Visual Studio on Windows 11 inside Parallels on macOS Tahoe Developer Beta on a 13" M2 MacBook Air... so that I can try to get SDL3Swift to work on Windows :P

I wrote some scripts to compare macOS 15.5 vs 26 in key filesystem changes, here is the output: gist.github.com/azenla/dd09b... Looks at /Applications, /System/Library/CoreServices{,/Applications}, /System/Library/{Frameworks,PrivateFrameworks}, /usr/libexec and /bin, /usr/bin (both no changes)
