In a dim-lit room he taps alone,
Strings of code replace a tone.
Valentine’s lights flicker far away,
While he chases ghosts in gray.

A silent server hums his beat,
Encrypted wishes none can read.
Cupid’s arrows miss the screen—
His heart, like packets, drifts unseen.

HACK THE PLANET

Bluesky is hard, fwiw. Definitely harder than Twitter. Everyone on Bluesky thinks they ate the main character and they get weird about people who aren't as outraged at the same thing they are. It's just not a big enough ecosystem for people to be themselves without needing to be what people expect

“I’ve never met someone like you interested in computer-“

First of all, you’ve never met someone like me PERIOD but, since we all know this is about putting down women, let me ASSURE YOU that I have millions of talented and technical female peers and I strive to be more like them every day!

My bad. Had to use port 8080

Oops, I borked my pi-hole upgrade.

@phillipwylie.bsky.social apparently Spotify thinks I should listen to you this morning 🤣❤️

I asked ChatGPT to draw a visual representation of how a VPN works. In the end it wrote python code to generate a flowchart in matplotlib.pyplot. We defined the different pieces to be used.

At that point I threw my hands in the air. As long as you don't know what you want, it does great.

You're the special character in my password.

The firewall's up, the ports are tight,

No rogue intrusion in my sight.

But Valentine's, a lonely plight,

My heart's a server, dark as night.

No phishing scams or sweet redirects,

Just empty logs and no effects.

I scan for love, the missing specs,

While hackers party, have their sexts.

First!

Level the bed?

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

I had a great time participating in the CISO panel at
FutureCon in Dallas, TX. It was great seeing everyone! Thanks to my employer @horizon3ai.bsky.social for supporting my community efforts!

If you ant to get in my pants... to get to my wallet of course, don't start off by insulting me. Negging was never a good idea and for sales people it is just plain stupid. Don't come in telling me I don't know how to do my job. Don't come and say a problem is impossible to solve without you.

A website screenshot with a black background and bright green ASCII art and text. The title "Veilid" is styled in blocky ASCII characters at the top, followed by the tagline "Take Back Control." Surrounding ASCII art features symmetrical patterns and characters like "[ x x ]" and "(' ')," evoking a retro-hacker aesthetic. The page includes navigation links such as "about," "veilid foundation," "contributors," and "code," alongside a large, detailed ASCII rendering of the word "Veilid." Below the visual art, text introduces Veilid as a framework emphasizing privacy and decentralization, designed to combat the commercialization of the internet. It describes VeilidChat, a demo of the framework, its contributors, press releases, and community events, highlighting privacy-centric values and grassroots development.

When you sign up with a service provider where you have a close relationship, do they provide you a Disaster Recovery Guide? Is this a common thing?

If you are saying “but I did nothing wrong” to a cop, it’s too late.

Happy Peanut Butter day

Using GenAI to summarize key points in Terms of Services agreements is like using CliffsNotes on book reports.
