Just in case you still use Basecamp, HEY, or have been looking at Omarchy… the person in this screenshot is DHH, creator of Ruby on Rails and CTO/co-owner of 37signals. Brilliant engineer. Increasingly controversial public figure. #RubyOnRails #OpenSource 1/4

I’m giving talks at cybersecurity conferences. People regularly tell me my videos, streams, and talks helped them break into IT or inspired them to build a homelab, learn Linux, or pursue cybersecurity. That’s honestly one of the things I’m most proud of. #WGU 3/6

My first DEF CON 34 badge showed up today, so I guess DEF CON officially starts for me now. The NFC tag has a CTF, and the badge gets me into one of the secret parties: the Florida Man Party. Extremely on-brand start to Hacker Summer Camp. #Cybersecurity #DEFCON34 #Badgelife

That’s not because Python is hard. It’s because the assessments often feel disconnected from modern software engineering, Git workflows, and how code reviews actually happen in the industry. #WGU 5/6

I’m may still finish because I’ve already invested too much to quit at 71%. But I really hope universities spend more time listening to people actively working in IT and cybersecurity. The goal shouldn’t be checking boxes It should be preparing students for the careers they’re paying to enter 6/6

Sorry for the crash, y’all. My stream PC on the 2 PC setup hard locked and needed me to hold the power button to reboot. It runs Windows 11 Enterprise, so once again it was Windows causing problems, not Linux. I’ll try to be back tomorrow. #Twitch #Streaming #Linux #Windows

Man, English is stupid. I spent way too long wondering why lead, the metal, is pronounced “led,” but lead, as in guide, is pronounced “leed.” Same spelling. Different sound. Completely different meaning. Who designed this shit?

I’ve noticed there are basically three kinds of cybersecurity creators: Those teaching from real experience, those honestly documenting their journey, and those who barely talk cybersecurity because they’re too busy selling “get rich, get certified, get hired in 90 days.” #cybersecurity

@0x00string@infosec.exchange well that’s funny you’re literally the first person I’ve ever talked to that actually thinks this way… you also missed the main premise the point isn’t going to DEFCON just for Mitnick, it’s that you never know who you will meet. Last year I met Ham Radio Crash Course for example and was stoked as I watched him to learn radios
