Apparently KDEnLive thinks I should be worried about only having 1.6TB of space available when rendering this latest YouTube video
On today’s lesson of, “you probably should have researched before commenting.” We have someone complaining that a IRISH airline is somehow using “Trump units.” Going to be embarrassing when he realizes the UK, which Ireland as I understand it used to be part of but is not now, started this…
Bruh… This was on an ad I keep getting as I am moving to five toes shoes. I will say I did laugh my ass off #funny #joke #Instagram
uConsole is alive with the AIO v2 kit. Big complaint: no clear hardware install docs, so I had to piece it together from videos. SDR works though, and this should be a great field radio device. More upgrades coming, including monitor-mode Wi-Fi. #Cybersecurity #radio #hamradio #raspberrypi
My first DEF CON 34 badge showed up today, so I guess DEF CON officially starts for me now. The NFC tag has a CTF, and the badge gets me into one of the secret parties: the Florida Man Party. Extremely on-brand start to Hacker Summer Camp. #Cybersecurity #DEFCON34 #Badgelife
uConsole parts are starting to roll in for my new hacker toy. Going to turn this thing into a Flipper Zero on steroids for radio work and tinkering. AIO V2 kit has LoRa, RTL-SDR, GPS and more. Build stream once the uConsole lands next week as part of DEF CON prep. #Cybersecurity #Radio #DEFCON
A lot of people would rather invent the dumbest excuses imaginable than admit they are the problem. I have heard plenty in IT and cybersecurity over the years, but this one is absolutely near the top. This is pure cope and a skill issue. #Cybersecurity #LGBT #PrideMonth
I came across this cool badge for DEFCON called the Clip Boy. This apparently is the same person who made the Space Badge I almost got last year. They look to be raising money for college so I want to boost this to help them. Happy Hacking! tropicsquirrel.githu... #Cybersecurity #DEFCON
Did we really forget even before AI we were saying there is not enough energy globally for electric cars? Now we also have AI Datacenters which use way more power. It’s interesting also that a lot of the same people I knew against electric cars and made these points also now seem to be ok with AI
I’ll be working on some content covering cutting the cable and using Antenna TV and optimizing it based on my amateur radio knowledge. Filtered, split, and even going to able to stream to all my TV’s. I am enjoying free local TV and news. #antennaTV #TV #Radio #technology #antenna
Hands on with CrowdStrike Crowdtour today with their “Secure AI Everywhere” track. Like I say you learn more hands on than a book or cert will teach you. #Cybersecurity #Crowdstrike #Crowdtour #technology
And AI, AI, AI… I am so sick of AI talks from youuuuu. Seriously, every cybersecurity conference and every vendor this year acts like nothing exists outside of AI. Some of y’all seem physically incapable of shutting up about it for even five minutes. #Cybersecurity #AI #Technology
Been working on making the iPad more useful lately for my work stuff than just simple note taking. I found a bunch of great ham radio apps. This one is Ham Pulse shown, I also got HAMRS pro, Easy QTH Locator, Hampulse, and DX Toolbox #amateurradio #hamradio #radio
Grateful to ISSA for the chance to give my first ever in-person talk, and I think my talk went great. Since it was my first time attending too, I’ll be honest: I was not that impressed overall with the conference. Too much AI and vendor fluff, not enough actual learning.
The next cybersecurity conference I am attending, CO-ISSA. So Keynote kicked off and noticed a shocking lack of villages. First cybersecurity conference I ain’t seen lock picking at. But I will be speaking here Wednesday #Cybersecurity #COISSA #ISSA
You all know I hate kernel-level anti-cheat for many reasons. I will admit “nuked the hentai-trained AI girlfriend” was not on my threat model, but if this helps more people realize kernel anti-cheat is basically malware with PR, that is still progress. #AI #AntiCheat #Cybersecurity
Hackers Teaching Hackers Day 3: Second talk I’m at “Weaponization of IoT Cellular Technology” and learning how IoT devices can be used as an attack vector to cloud systems. He even hijacked IoT to use it for his laptop’s internet #Cybersecurity #HackersTeachingHackers #IoT #android #ios #cellphone
Snagged swag from past cons for free at Hackers Teaching Hackers on day 3. Even found a DEFCON21 Badge among many other cool ones I never got to attend I can have in the studio #Cybersecurity #DEFCON #HackersTeachingHacking #GPU
Officially day 2 of hackers teaching hackers, got my electronic badge for entry. Looks like it has a LoRa radio, totally going to have to hack this later and see what it’s doing. #Cybersecurity #Spaceballs #hacker #radio #lora
This is the random kind of shit I get sent by my community and open on stream #gothgirl #gothgirlspit #echelon
Can we talk about how atrocious the apple in store buying experience is? I come in to the store and there is barely anyone here, staff free to help, come to buy an iPad, told to wait at a table… for 20 minutes while there are plenty of staff free. I guess Apple’s MO really isn’t good UX
Had quite a bit of fun learning some new things at Hackers Teaching Hackers and learning about some AI Penetration Testing tools and agents among some other tricks. #Cybersecurity #HackersTeachingHackers #AI #hth2026
I’m at Hackers Teaching Hackers today in the “From Recon to Remediation” workshop to improve my skills with AI pentesting agents #Cybersecurity #hth #hackersteachinghackers
I went shopping for new shirts as most of mine are from cybersecurity conferences or are many years old. Expect to see these on stream soon
Working on some new radio related content with my dogs! We are working on a Meshtastic as a dog tracker video and comparing to the new Apple AirTag gen 2 whilst at Hocking Hills with zero cell signal. Meshtastic and amateur radio for comms #meshtastic #amateurradio #airtag #apple #cybersecurity
Just passed the Linux Professional Institute Linux Essentials cert with basically zero studying. I’ve been daily driving Linux since the Windows Vista era, so this was less “learning Linux” and more “proving to HR and WGU what my computer collection already knows.”
If this alleged OnlyFans breach is real, the real issue is why platforms are collecting and storing so much sensitive personal data in the first place. IDs, contact info, linked accounts, payment metadata, all of that becomes a jackpot for attackers. Collect less data. Reduce the blast radius.
