#BikeChi Spotted at Huron/St Clair outside NW hospital. My condolences to the owner. If you be biking, they be stealing. 👀

I'm obsessed with network monitoring and currently using @fingapp to test WLAN. My previous house had 1950s era bathroom tiles - much thicker, and pink if you're curious - that acted like a faraday cage. Tiles from the 80s+ were cheaper, hence thinner, and far less faraday-y.

There needs to be regulation to require encryption on these video systems with auditable ways to track keys. Tesla et al is the future but not like this with these massive privacy fails.

Two most amazing technologies:

👉PKI (public key infra)

👉 @Shazam

Both are like magic 🪄

@ArysPan I wonder if a younger sibling 200,000 years ago was jealous their older sibling got to make the handprints first.

I became curious on the etymology of 'nonce'. It comes from middle English meaning "one purpose". The word was especially used in the phrase "for the nonce", meaning "for the one purpose".

In cryptography, a nonce is a single number used to purposely add randomness.

You need only 3 @Yubico yubikeys for your very important accounts, like email and password manager.

One stays in your laptop at home.

One is for travel, keep it on your keychain.

One is for backup and kept in a safe. That's how you have redundancy with hardware keys.

ZTP is short for "zero touch provisioning" which is a fancy name for having computers set up computers. I ran the ZTP initiative for 800 customers / 50k endpoints.

Limit the apps you install on your devices, keep them lean and clean. This reduces vulnerabilities inherent in software and makes you safer than the next person.

I’m 40.

Just a number.

Best shape in my life today and will be even stronger tomorrow. #wehackhealth
