@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social I am just glad that the threat actors agreed to only attack the instance while it was shutdown.
Awfully decent of them.

@mattblaze@federate.social @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social that was quick! I was fully anticipating the court to postpone until the issue was moot.
Can't wait for the analysis on this.

@tess@mastodon.social Homer is us, we are Homer. Would we all sacrifice a boatload of men to reunite with Anne Hathaway? Perhaps not on purpose but neither can we rule it out summarily.

@tedted@hachyderm.io ok I'll bite (elo 900 here so I am not impressing anyone) - My response as white: Ng5
As to your alternate move - if I am being honest I would make the same move you did. But if I had to pick an alternate it would be Bxf3 to nullify the knight's blockade, but I don't love it.

@jerry@infosec.exchange apologies - I am sure its posted somewhere but is there a link where one might support the instance?
"Why do you have so many chloropleth dashboards?"
Well simple... have you ever noticed how much fun it is to say "chloropleth"?

@adamshostack@infosec.exchange Just to say, I would not presume to give you security advice. I think you literally wrote the book on threat modeling 😅

@Dennis@beige.party be certain that you glower with disgust at the peasants shambling onto the plane forcing them to furtively look away like the vermin they are. For emphasis, slowly sip your preflight drink that clearly indicates proof of your superiority. This is how the air crew will know you are a true 1st class flier and not just some rank stowaway who got an upgrade.

@wendynather@infosec.exchange My most unreal silicon valley moment - enjoying the best bbq at a hole-in-the-wall, husband and wife team - both older, husband had a rasta hat and dreadlocks to the middle of his back.
Somewhere in the conversation (I don't even know how we got there) - he drops a deep technical analysis of why mainframe programming is better positioned for large analytic workloads compared to SQL DBs. The crazy part - the framing and his analysis - spot on. I imagine my bbq smeared mouth was open and in shock.
Apparently he is a regular heckler at SQL conventions at Moscone - but settled into a life of grilling ribs. The wife, no less technical, had a knowing look as her husband launched into yet another diatribe (apparently not uncommon)

@bruce@darkmoon.social I have found the opposite - towel ended up being clutch when the occasion arises. Stuck at the airport? towel becomes a pillow. Stuck at the airport? Towel becomes a small blanket. Stuck at the airport? Towel becomes a loincloth. Stuck at the airport? Towel becomes emergency snack.
Currently stuck at the airport - send help!

@tinker@infosec.exchange the ROM community tried to warn us. They tried to prepare us. Also retro gaming is now effectively demarcated at games before 2026 and games after 2026 (with and without physical media), not sure how it's gonna look in 2050.

@JuliusGoat@mastodon.social Exploring the tortured analogy of the locker room a bit further... while Talarico is quiet in the analogous locker room, Paxton and his buddies are actively pulling off towels and stuffing trans peoples' heads into toilets. (if you think I am exaggerating look at Paxton's stated goals and efforts). Is one candidate preferred over the other?
Are we to believe that for trans rights that Talarico is the worse candidate? Worse than say... Paxton? Sorry these are the choices. Or alternatively should we understand that they are politically fungible?
The claim beggars belief.

@mattblaze@federate.social I honestly thought the odds of the court supporting birthright citizenship was 50/50 - and from the 5/4 split, seems not to be wholly unjustified. All to say this is an appalling state of current things. Not least a bedrock principle of American citizenship being an essential coin-toss. These are dangerous times as everything, including established precedents and the constitution is subject to be radically reinterpreted by the court.

@fesshole@mastodon.social reading all the confessions - I fear that one day the UK will cross a threshold from 'passive-aggressive' to 'actively-agressive' and the intensity of changeover will be an emotional (if not physical) equivalent to a thermonuclear detonation.
Replying to
@mttaggart@infosec.exchange Normalize giving threat actors embarrassing names. Some suggestions:
Charming Kitten - Obtuse Baboon
Fancy Bear - Impotent Car Salesmen
Clop - Horsey Weirdos
I can go on - admittedly this might not stop adversaries but at least IR will be more fun. "Quick - baboon proof the firewall!", "The Horsey weirdos posted again"

@petrillic@hachyderm.io a bit of context, LEECH is parody, and the Humvee was for hacking (as in "hack the systems in this vehicle"), they had a boat too if i got my villages right.
Perhaps it's all feds and collusion, but in this case the intent seemed more hacker oriented than not.
Doing threat intel research based on the EDR's ai enabled write up and found myself saying - "I think the AI hallucinated that hash".
This is it! This is the Cyberpunk dystopia, we've arrived! Everything kinda sucks, but in a cyberpunkish way.
I need to update my wardrobe accordingly.

@mcc@mastodon.social ok... but i am pulling the ejection cord when you come back to tell us that we also have a carapace.
Chronovore why is it that you don't procrastinate?
Well you see, early on I discovered a universal law. Not a man-made law, but one not unlike the law of gravity.
The law is this: Every problem postponed, no matter how trivial. Becomes a huge problem at some un-arrived time in my life. Invariably I will be found at the intersection of exigency and immediacy, yelling into the void: "Someone made bad decisions 10 years ago and now we pay for it!".

@evacide@hachyderm.io agreed - they are not marketing this as an accessibility tool. And if it was, I would ask it be open sourced/licensed to lower barriers to actual accessibility integration.

@evacide@hachyderm.io Not defending Meta's initiative, nor playing devil's advocate., and I am loathe to see these devices in public. That said I was talking to my optometrist and they explained how helpful the glasses were for low vision folks, more so than existing solutions.
Question I had and I really don't know - what was the balance of privacy and accessibility? I think any answer must also consider that Meta is a bad faith actor and we cannot assume good intentions.
Also apologies - I do not mean to make you specifically the respondent for all questions that rightfully belong to Meta, this just seems like a forum where we would see something more substantive than PR fluff.
