Eyes wide open. Zeal, not zealot. Retweets not endorsements. Views not my employers. To do what is right, because it's the right thing to do. Fear none.

Why did 1/2 million Americans have to die?

@rickbrewPDN @matt_timmermans I do not doubt this milestone one bit, having dealt with many domain name fusterclucks over the years, but as an avid user of https://t.co/YW3UiHurKi, this reply is what warms the heart.

Thank you for what you do, Rick.

Hey @humble - the Cybersecurity zero to hero package is meant to be accessed via @PacktPublishing, right? Really struggling to see what I've purchased and what few titles I can find now have downloads disabled. Pondering a refund at this point...

[gth 🌻 @gthau]

@hackmdio Agreed. What's your preferred way for contributors to improve the documentation (fix typos etc)? Comments directly in the text, or ...?

@endingwithali @trashp4ndasec Looking at these replies and realising there's no other source material:
gippity is going subscription model, isn't it? The dependence curve is so clearly climbing...

@unclebobmartin Independently verifying claims is bad now?

Acting on that verification - including publishing shared results and encouraging corrective actions - you see as premature? What's going to change? Spin? Legalese arguments that no-one was contractually impacted??

Be better, Bob.

@medus4_cdc I think I saw your name on the Bitty Mitty City Committee, covering viable Municipal Bitcoin Projects at the Town level, from your upcoming MIT thesis.

@LitMoose I read the posts as it unfolded like an old Jerry Springer episode. The investigator did good work, especially the GitHub history showing edits as the organiser's web of lies fell apart.

Such behaviour was so unnecessary.

Hope everyone gets their money back at least.

@corg_e Patched the o/s on a mid-range system: ALL the nearby phones start ringing as entire enterprise's screens freeze.

30 min IPL restart. Managers insist I try again as "very unlikely to be you". Patch applied, console stops responding,

...and the phones start ringing again.

Imagine a tech conference having no CFP, as they reach out to speakers directly. They successfully attract some of the most heavy hitter men speakers in tech, and 3 women speakers.

Now imagine my surprise that 2 of those women are FAKE profiles.

They do not exist.

Nada.

Interesting sessions at #IAFS - more digital forensics than previous years, by all accounts.

Wonder what some folks on here would think of them (maybe they're already attending?). Next year, perhaps.

@NicoleBeckwith @DarknetDiaries ...and others (apologies, time is short)

[IAFS @IAFS2026]

Starting the day strong at #iafs2023 with critical examinations of digital forensics, biometric tools, and ethical implications today and into the future

@notshenetworks Only fireworks in Australia.

You've got to find an indoor range to hear a few slow single shots; ain't no semi autos here.

@marcosmakoto @aviationbrk I'm guessing no filming permitted on the tarmac. Camera person was probably trying to be discreet about it.

@edengillespie @joe_hinchliffe Saw your article with Joe about Qld's breach of bail. I'm curious:

- how would you enforce bail conditions if it's not an offence to breach them?

- if homeless get bail to be at home, that's an invalid bail condition; doesn't render the entire bail system invalid.

@ask_aubry Literally an intimidation offence where I'm from. Police report + video = charge.
