Uh, Tweetdeck is now behind a paywall. That's it for me now then. Bye bye Twitter.

An advantage at trivia quizzes. For me, that's the upside of having received a religious education.

Just in case anyone here having ANY buyers remorse at moving your social home away from X/Twitter.

Since my audience here is diverging a bit from my Mastodon account, seems appropriate to mention here too.

I was part of a company-wide layoff in June. After visiting family in July and taking some time I was just starting my next job search at the beginning of this month, when Covid hit.

As the symptoms clear, I'll be picking this up again.

Please pass along any leads if you know of someone hiring for a full-remote,
#infosec Senior Security Architect role, or similar.

My previous position was as a Senior Security Engineer for 5.5 years.

#CISSP. Strong communication skills. #C #Unix #AWS #Python

Happy to fire a resume out for anything that looks interesting. Not interested in relocating, but would consider hybrid in the California Bay Area.

Thanks.

Just announced a CVE in RubyGems.org where I played the role of security researched, incident coordinator, deployer, and patcher.

Anyways, if you want to read about it: github.com/rubygems/rubygems.o

There's a local Vancouver, Washington mural artist whose work features Mayan styling and it's always great, but this one caught my eye this morning and I think it's particularly rad.

Just to be clear: this is terrible.

Look, if someone wants to (try to) delete something they created off the web because they don't like it, that's fine (probably impossible, but fine). But to delete content simply to cater to one monopoly's algorithm...just chalk this up as the latest reason why large tech companies are poison for this world.

@antonyjohnston @pablobm It is amazing. Incidentally it also works to send toddlers to sleep (confirmed)

Me: represent!

@noodles In this era of vulnerabilities with dedicated websites and catchy names, how can they have missed that trick!

In response to Google's monopolistic implementation of the Web Environment Integrity, I have a modest proposal:

Open source JavaScript libraries should add bugs which only occur when they find "navigator.getEnvironmentIntegrity" is being used.

Go into a "while(true)" loop. Start throwing exceptions randomly. Just fuck up the page. Make the lives of every developer who is in the origin trial who uses your library completely miserable.

If they want to fork, they have the freedom to do so. But then they're taking on the maintenance that they would prefer to outsource to their community.

If you have enough big libraries doing this, it might make a dent.

The near-future of proprietary internet is bleak.

Switch to the free internet. Use #jitsi, #bigbluebutton, etc.

Paying for curry delivery last night, the restaurant's webapp threw a security error. Apparently I was sending a potentially dangerous request!

In reality, an input validator had decided that the password I was sending (on account creation) had funny characters, perhaps an attempt to inject malicious code.

Anyway, I had to retry with a weaker password...
