Finally home after a great #defcon33. Huge thanks to the organizers of @defcon.bsky.social and all the Goons for putting on such a great con. And special thanks to the @defconpolicy.bsky.social crew for making me feel so welcome. See you all next year!

Great talk on community building by @hdm.io and @circuitswan.bsky.social at the @dianainitiative.bsky.social. Definitely one of those talks that I didn’t know I needed till I was there. #defcon33 #CommunityBuilding

Great opening talk from @heatherwest.bsky.social for Policy@Defcon! She even tried to answer my ridiculous question. Super excited to see what else the #PolicyAtDEFCON33 village has in store. #DEFCON33 #HackersMeetPolicymakers

Just remember that Security is like an Ogre. It’s cumbersome, no one wants to think about it, everyone assumes it lives in a swamp and that it will block you when you try to cross a bridge. Also, it has layers.

I don’t care what that study says. The four presentations of Autism are Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello.

I got tired of OpenID and decided to write about RSA padding. What could be simpler than RSA padding? Except I made the mistake of asking whether RSA PKCS1v1.5 padding is probably secure and it sent me down a rabbit hole of insanity.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? (Repeat previous answer) The amount of websites and applications that run on Amazon’s cloud platform (also Google’s and Microsoft’s to a lesser degree). Every couple years they’ll have an outage and half the internet just stops working.

The results seem to strengthen the case that these systems rely on elaborate pattern-matching rather than the kind of systematic reasoning their marketing might suggest.

"-le" is a forgotten suffix in English - it's integrated so far into words that we no longer register it. It indicates continuousness: to sparkLE is to repeatedly spark, to scribbLE is to continuously scribe, etc. Which implies that to chortLE is to repeatedly do something called a chort.

Started the first episode today and so far it’s amazing. Cory Doctorow is talking to all the right people about the how and why of the current state of the Internet and why it’s not what we were promised. #enshitification

Which one? 1. I didn’t choose the sysadmin life. But someone had to fix the DNS. 2. I didn’t choose the sysadmin life. I just wanted admin rights on my PC. 3. I didn’t choose the sysadmin life. I said ‘try turning it off and on again’ once.

Feels a good day for a thread. So I would like to introduce you to a mostly forgotten, but actually rather pivotal figure in PC history. Meet Dr Portia Isaacson Bass. If it wasn't for something she did in 1981, we'd all still be forced to use IBM (or IBM-licensed) PCs right now. /1

Sure this meeting could have been an email… except that Kevin won’t reply to my 4th “per my last email” asking him to do the thing in his literal job description. So instead we have to sit on this call so I can stare at him till he finally says “sure, I guess I’ll take care of it.” Thanks Kevin.

I always appreciate getting a sales email that starts with “Hey {name}”. It makes it feel so personable. Oh what’s that? You would like to “Chat re Cyber”. Oh sure, your inability to use a mail merge gives me great confidence in your expertise re Cyber. #ITlife

This can’t be right... curl isn’t just “run by some guy”. It is ancient stonecraft wrought from the bones of the internet. It exists from before time, where its creators have since passed out of memory. It is ever present, always waiting to summon bits from across the ether when its name is spoken.

Nobody starts a digital identity thinking they're going to be hunted, nor with the experience to know how it can break and be tracked. Someone used a slip-up to find my personal username, then a flaw in Minecraft, to find my even older personal email address. They went 3 layers into my obfuscation.

You see, it turns out observability is pretty useless because it doesn’t do anything. Yet... Somehow? It’s this thing that we’ve been able to grow into a multi billion dollar industry composed entirely out of “get a bunch of data, and then…” That’s it?? hazelweakly.me/blog/the-fut...

SageMaker has felt stale for a while now, so this is interesting. Maybe it's more polish and cleaner coupling of existing AWS services, but don't underestimate the convenience factor of an AWS native platform in gaining adoption. aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in...

Why has no one told me about this. I’ve been using the NerdFont version of Cascadia for a while because “sure that works”. Can’t wait to do this when I get to a real screen.
