I am eminently qualified to speak from experience about a variety of dumpster fires. ICS DFIR at Dragos, martial artist, marksman, humanist, level 14 Neutral Good rogue, USAF retired. I post *very serious* things about infosec. Thoughts my own. Enby. 🏳️🌈
I'm in Singapore, and somehow I accidentally booked myself a tiny Disney princess hotel room that I can barely move around in without bonking my shins. It is tremendously goofy and fun but I have also been on 70 hours of flights so I'm very tired
Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here's a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.
When you're an atheist, but you join the UUC to do human rights activism - and you get to sing songs from the book of the dead on Sunday whilst talking about First Nations rights
I'm at my friends pageant and sister showed up with a sword. The world needs to know. Go Anuja!
This might be my favourite slide on quantum computing, ever. From Peter Gutmann at #AUSCERT
I fully realise Singapore legalised being gay only three years ago, and I still feel safer here every time I visit than large swathes of America. My trans friend hasn't been harassed, once. We spent the evening lesbian bar hopping. Americans get lied to, so dismally.
This is kind of a silly take. Niantic are absolutely opportunists, who certainly didn't see AI coming when Pokémon Go or Ingress premiered. What they've always been interested in is being a *source of user geolocation data* which they can monetise. First way was lucrative Pokémon IP. Now it's AI.
When the AI company has decided your name is Nathan. Or everyone's name is Nathan. Yet manages to get the email address right. But thinks you're in another country. I definitely trust this AI company to spot security gaps. I desperately want to reply that my name is Lesley and I live in Australia.
This photo of Brian McGinnis is going to be in museums and history books if we aren't wiped out in nuclear fire.

***Begging *** universities to stop forcing your cybersecurity students beg for strangers' free time on the internet to do pointless interviews instead of even practical mentorship or projects. We're exhausted, understaffed and the market is hell. None of us have time.

Oh no. I was just mostly joking. This is kinda depressing given how important the Great Lakes are for freshwater.
I've had it with weird nerds shitting on Academy so thankfully I'm a bigger weird nerd.
