I dunno who needs it but this was an amusing (in a dark way). nesbitt.io/2026/06/26/i... I think my favorite line is from the customer impact section: “Some customers may have experienced unscheduled collaborative compute with external parties.” 💀 #aisecurity #weredoomed

One key thing that comes to mind, while we're looking at automating changes and leveraging AI agents to do the grunt work, we run the risk of burying the underlying complexity of modern networks. #CiscoLive #AI #Forward #Networking

Seeing #Forward demo live, the ability for an AI agent to iterate through a complex change and catch mistakes and correct them before offering a change plan with high confidence of success w/o ever touching prod until it's time to rollout the change is damn powerful. #CiscoLive #TFDx

The ability to plan out a configuration change and actually, truly, see what the change will impact across connectivity paths and security control points before actually pushing to prod is damn nice to see. 2x for easy multi-vendor support. #CiscoLive #TFDx #Forward #Networking

We're back at #TFDx at #CiscoLive with Forward. Follow along LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... YouTube: www.youtube.com/live/NNUCqqJ...

Now talking through Live Protect at #CiscoLive. Follow along, interesting product to solve a pretty big issue within networking teams. LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/events/cisco... YouTube: www.youtube.com/live/kah8XfG... #TFDx #datacenter #networking #datacenternetworking #security

It's nice to see Isovalent doing something to expose the K8 cluster hosts into data center fabric and getting rid of a blind spot network teams have to deal with in large k8 environments. And allowing tenant isolation down to the workloads is pretty damn cool. #TFDx #CiscoLive #datacenter

And we're live with at #CiscoLive in Las Vegas with Data Center Networking updates. Follow along live! #TFDx www.youtube.com/live/kah8XfG...

Bless this memorial on the mall in DC.

This resonates way too well for me. The balancing act IT has to play is challenging on the best of days.

Here we go with HPE Aruba Networking #NFD38

Just a reminder that our trans industry colleagues are literally running out the clock. Life and death. If you are wondering if you should offer them a gig even at a low rate outside America, for the love of Pete, do it now.

Oooff…that’s…damn that’s spot on.

I'm just going to leave Freedom of the Press Foundation's excellent guide to leaking to the press right here in case anyone happens to need it: freedom.press/digisec/blog...

Make NO mistake, tariffs are ment to be a distraction from the real crisis at hand. 👇👇👇

The cognitive dissonance with people who believe that tariffs will make their lives better is dumbfounding. The only people to benefit will be the top 1% with preservation of their wealth.

While this will be challenged in court before the night is out, this so overly broad and, while it’s “about the kids” (bullshit) they are going after all GAC. Follow closely and remember it was never about the kids, it’s about control.

This meme is so going to get worm through before the end of one year. But also it’s fucking true.

Ooooff…I feel this…and I don’t like it. 🤣

New #JWST image just dropped 🔭🐡🧪

I mean, if there’s no impact to women’s health why wouldn’t they want to data shared. Oh…wait…

Ha! Fitting.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Twitter to fully achieve the hollow echo chamber status it deserves now.

Well…this is annoying…

This could be quite handy

And there are still plenty that won’t realize the show mocks them

Fact

I’m still kinda surprised by opening the app here and it suddenly feels like /that other place/ used to be. It’s…refreshing.

And that’s done…

You will need a new GPS device too buddy.

If you’re going to park in a bike lane when you’re 20ft away from your giant parking lot, you’re going to get the sticker treatment. Idc if you’re Mercedes Benz and have 12 cameras pointed towards me. 🚫🚙

A counter argument: libraries are safe spaces that do not charge you money to be there. Librarians help those without access to the web to apply for jobs and housing, provide access to accurate information without payment, including physical or e- or audiobooks.

Someone on Mastodon described Bsky as "a bunch of people hanging around in the parking lot after the mall has closed" and I thought it was A) accurate and B) pretty great actually
