Dear internet: I would like your favorite movies about women overcoming huge/galactic obstacles. Those obstacles should not be dudes.
Good example: Gravity
Bad Example: Kill Bill

Are you kickass at Webflow and want me to pay you for a couple of hours of tutoring/cowork? I should already either know who you are, see you in my LinkedIn list, or a few people should tell me to talk to you.

I was talking to someone today who only knows Michael Sheen from Good Omens and his pandemic videos with David Tennant. All yall Gen Z babies who think Michael Sheen is an adorable blonde angel—you didn’t know Lucian. If you haven’t seen Underworld, I suggest you expand your horizons this lovely Halloween season. Bonus: Bill Nighy toothily fanging the scenery beyond all hope of dramatic redemption.

I'm going to prove a point and you're going to help me.
If you're a member of the information security and/or cybersecurity profession, and you have clicked on a phish in the last, say, five years, share this post. If you have not, star this post.
Someone's trying to say that you can punish people out of clicking on scam links and I say that not only can you NOT prevent phishing by punishing people, but the most skilled #infosec and #cybersecurity people in the world can and do get phished as well.

Hey, folks! Want to do something *incredibly* cheap and tiny to support me? Facebook turned off our ability to go live with videos unless we have more followers :/ It's dumb, I know, but if you have a Facebook account and would be so kind as to follow Red Queen Dynamics' Facebook page, I would be mightily grateful.

@npub14n4…y3e3 I hope the middle of their back starts to itch every time they almost fall asleep. I hope that no matter how many times they flip over the USB it never goes in the slot.

I am not a particularly peaceful person but I do like to conserve my energy, which is why I don’t bother to personally hate most criminals—I tend to think they’re policy failures.
But this guy? The guy that ransomwared the Seattle Public Library and apparently has individually stolen employee personal data? Fuck this guy. I _hate_ this guy. I would expend unnecessary energy to ensure he has a bad day.

Damn, it feels good to be a hacker.

Does anyone know how to reach someone at the Computer History Museum in San Jose so I can see about donating this to them?

So @npub157k…c8e5
is live right now premiering a killer talk on how to use building and fire codes to be an incredibly convincing red teamer. You should go here and chat and watch this because it's incredible.

OH: The year is 2038. Standards body participants have finally achieved their ultimate dream: the Ur-Format, a grammar subsuming YAML, XML, CBOR, JSON, JSONB, X.509, protobuf, Cap'n Proto, Borgconf, all dialects of CSV including non-Euclidean ones, TOML, and http:// Sendmail .cf. It is now believed, Mr Anderson, that we no longer lack the necessary language to describe your perfect world

Oh look it’s a whole ass lesson in why cyber is physical.

No one should feel bad about trying the first option of turning something off and turning it back on again. I was just talking to somebody who is a little less familiar with technology, and they felt bad that this was one of the first things they tried.
In fact, engineers restore everything back to a last known good state all the time before doing troubleshooting. It’s a really smart choice, and people shouldn’t feel bad or stupid for using it as an option in troubleshooting.
