To those celebrating Imbolc, may the first signs of spring bring renewal and hope.

To everyone else, here’s to longer days and fresh starts.

[Jayson E. Street 💙 🤗💛 @jaysonstreet]

I was recently laid off, so I’m officially open to new opportunities. If you need a Hacker, or a teachable moment using Red Team tactics. I can also be a trainer, community builder & liaison.
I want more than a job I need a company & purpose I can believe in. Please share!
💜🤗💜

@sfzombie13 He already has a copy of 451. Not sure if/when he read it though.
Nope, neither of the warrior series or redwall. Lots of other books but not those. We do not currently have physical copies. But I will add them to the list.

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

I am so happy my sons love to read. I just handed my oldest son my copy of 1984 for him to read.

If you plan on celebrating tonight, be careful out there.

If you set off fireworks, try to keep all your fingers.

If you drink, don't drink and drive.

But by all means, enjoy yourself. You survived 2025.

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

Wishing peace, rest, and a little kindness to everyone today however you mark December 25, or even if you don’t. May it be gentle to you.

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

Just a reminder to you and your families. Be vigilant especially at this time of year to protect yourselves from these kind of attacks.

First time I have had time to talk to a phone/email phish attempt in a long time. It was actually pretty smooth.

They were pretending to be Coinbase saying that they see "bad" activity on my account.

When I finally called him out on it, he asked how good was the attempt. LOL

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

To all who mark the Solstice, may the longest night give way to renewed light.

And to those who do not, may the season still bring calm, warmth, and good things ahead.

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

Remember, Remember the 5th of November!

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

Happy Samhain, Happy Halloween, and a magical October 31 to everyone. Whether you honor the turning of the seasons, enjoy the spooky fun, or just love candy and costumes, I hope the day brings warmth, laughter, and good spirits. Stay safe and celebrate well.

A huge thank you to @SecureWVCon for allowing me the opportunity to present again this year. Always amazing.

Why do so many doctors/therapists/etc for school aged children want to schedule appointments during the school day?

If you are working with children try to keep the fact that they are probably in school in mind...

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

Had a fun day out with the family hiking and climbing on big rocks.

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

@sfzombie13 thank you. i have tried the first two already and i can get the results about 80% of the way to my desired result. I have not tried chafa yet.

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

Looking for a commandline solution (linux/ubuntu/macos) that allows me to convert text (possibly containing ansi colors) into a png.

Needs to be headless and no gui requirements.

I want it to maintain columns/formatting.

Suggestions?

Almost time for @GrrCON! Don't miss @tatanus's talk, happening this Friday at 1:00PM. Plus, be sure to swing by our booth and say hello if you'll be there! https://t.co/QPqxmCwRl8

@SquarespaceHelp I have been in very slow correspondence with Squarespace help over the past week and no help yet. Still hoping someone will eventually be able to give me an update/answer/reason/anything.

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

So, my personal blog that I hardly ever update is now flagged as unsafe by @Google . I am not sure what happened to cause this or how to go about getting it resolved. Thoughts?

[Adam Compton (@[email protected]) @tatanus]

@dayna12121 @Google That might work if the domain was one i had verified to monitor. But now @squarespace has the domain suspended and i do not think i can make the necessary DNS adjustments to get it monitored/associated with my account on Google.

thank you anyways
