FYI I am no longer active on Twitter. Working on a write-up which I will link here at some point, then eventually delete my account (been in progress for a long time, recent events have accelerated my timeline)

@CaseyKulla Not to add to the election load but shouldn't this be "postmarked by election day"? https://t.co/9WRjGKnKjI

Could also do this for actors, comedians, artists, authors or anyone where they have a product that is occasionally released along with some sort of press. Could also be useful for behind the scenes folks too, I'd love to follow producers if I liked what they generally worked on

RFP: Human (or AI?) curated band/artist news + releases.

Monitor social media feeds and Google News for major news and releases and let users subscribe to their favorite bands so they never miss a drop or some major news.

Daily/weekly email.

Stuck the landing✅

And I should mention, I wasn't looking for any of them specifically. I just stumbled across them in my normal day to day actions as an active and involved student

I have now disclosed security vulnerabilities at 3 of the 3 schools I've attended in the last 10 years (for a total of 4 disclosures). There is a lot of work to do in the education IT security sector!

All 4 have been permissions misconfigurations that resulted in normal users being allowed to access things that they shouldn't. Universities are often (correctly) compared to small cities, but most cities don't have an email address/account for every single citizen

Just got included in an email chain with someone recognized as a "father of the Internet"

My day is going well

Taking inspiration from https://t.co/yHnidcQyQD I wrote a quick little 40 line python program to determine if a piece of text was written by me. Turns out I have a big enough corpus of text to make it really easy! https://t.co/fC7gsGL3Fk

Just submitted my first FOIA request. Y'all better get ready!

Scheduling w/ 1 other college student: literally any time of any day
2 other students: alright so Monday and Thursday mornings are out
3+ other students: the only time everyone is free is 1:43am each 3rd Tuesday after a new moon, but only for 15 minutes if it rained yesterday

I am always thinking about how I can help other people - what do they need, what are they working on?

Being proactive goes a long way - fake friends reach out when they need something, real friends reach out when you need something.

Just used `git bisect` to find where I introduced a bug (in production). Huge props to binary searches and the time that just saved me!

Turns out JS sourcemaps don't have a formalized spec. So the `sources`field is really the wild west. yay /s
