i’m sorry what the fuck are you tryna sell me?

Mid-west Emo? Sure! This is such a tune

What is it about the Line of Duty tv series.. the interview scenes, often taking up to 25-50% of the episodes, are so dry, yet, I really do hang on every word.

Hey, so, it's been a real tough few weeks. Send your pet pics

Spent this weekend processing and uploading the @bsidescbr.bsky.social 2025 talks. Amazing content, what an awesome conference 😍

I love everything about this letter - a list of things the general public should and shouldn't worry about when it comes to security www.hacklore.org/letter

Academic cryptography: "we need post-quantum cipher suites, which will solve everything" Real world crypto: "key management is hard lol" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/w...

Nice work @kawaiicon.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/this-h...

I’m starting to think AI is just depicting what is happening to us metaphorically in a visual format

When did coding up frontends become about a million times more complicated than backends?

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

Hot take - even as a joke, I don't really like the idea of ppl blaming interns for taking down production Even on the chance it happened to be true (and there are definitely cases where it wasn't an intern), if an intern was able to do that, that's a problem with the processes and systems in place

If you see this post a bird.

Redid my entire nvim config the other day using Paq. Surprisingly quick to get things going well.

Interview with the Vampire was released 31 years ago today 🧛

I didn't take nearly enough photos at #kawaiicon. I'm not a confident shooter, and it is important to me to respect people's needs, privacy, or other requirements. But, here's a few random pics I took. Thanks Wellington!! glass.photo/xntrik/serie...

Also I definitely wouldn’t go there and check the Store navigation and click the Black Friday sale link idk

Back home. Forecast: 31°c.

An ABC producer asked if I could do a live deepfake of Julia Zemiro for... reasons. After a weekend of learning how to train a deepfake model, I recorded a segment for a pilot that eventually became Crime Night! You can see my short segment 18 mins into this episode: iview.abc.net.au/show/crime-n...

#Kawaiicon vibe. @xntrik.wtf @kawaiicon.bsky.social Photos are at www.flickr.com/photos/4nits... - this and others will be there soonish.

My Day 1 photos of #Kawaiicon are online along with the earlier uploaded bag and tag and axe throwing photos. www.flickr.com/photos/4nits... @kawaiicon.bsky.social

Good news #Kawaiicon friends! Slides are now up on my site: garden.errbufferoverfl.me/soapbox/bull... Keep your eyes out for raw data, zines and recordings! Which should be there 🔜

My cup is filled. Hanging with a bunch of my fav hackers in Wellington #kawaiicon #community

Cybersecurity awareness month is now over. If you are still aware of cybersecurit, you are living in the past.

*passes away* jfc this is so real, why do y’all do this

Really awesome preso from @snyff.pentesterlab.com @pentesterlab.com over at BSides Perth. Jam packed with patterns, approaches, tips and tricks to level up finding bugs in code. #bsides #bsidesperth

The Australian Government makes more money from HECS repayments than it does from the PRRT. ‘Norway taxes its fossil fuel industry and gives their kids free higher education… we subsidise our fossil fuel industry and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.’ @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

You, an idiot: goon bag. The Chinese, a nation of intellectuals:

Today I needed a bit of code, but instead of asking an LLM I tried writing it myself and wow, this could be a new paradigm

Great kicker. Marc Benioff’s PR team wanted him to do an interview about philanthropy. Instead he sounded off on a bunch of Trump policies he supports and called for the White House to send troops to SF. Doesn’t seem like the comms team was pleased with how the interview went..

Here are 10 practical tips, based on Retana’s advice, for talking to kids about ICE raids and helping them cope with fear and uncertainty. Each point is presented in english y español. The full guide: lataco.com/kids-ice-tal... By Erick Galindo

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

genuinely think they are feeding him AI videos

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

A reminder that anything recorded on a device like this AI "friend" could be used against you — by hackers, private companies, or the government. This technology isn't a friend, it's surveillance.

...and breathe

Fascistic and absolutely unacceptable rhetoric from the unmoored little man who is basically running the federal government right now.

This is a blatant violation of 1st Amendment rights. Gooding v. Wilson 1972 and Lewis v. City of New Orleans 1974 established that criticizing law enforcement is protected free speech. This woman posed no threat to the agent, aside from a bruised ego. If he can’t handle that he can’t do the job.

What the fuck

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

Netanyahu tells UN that Israel ‘must finish the job’ in Gaza after dozens of delegates walk out in protest- Middle East crisis live

This is such a compelling read, dozens of public servants sharing what it was like when DOGE came knocking. And great move by WIRED to let the story be workers in their own words.

More than 500,000 Australians petitioned for a royal commission into Murdoch’s toxic media. Years later, with a massive majority but little courage, Labor has done nothing. Canada has great laws requiring truth in media (should they wish to enforce them). Australia needs TRUTH in media laws.

That’s the real irony of all of this.
