At this point it feels like the only time I venture online anymore is because I'm angry about something, or delighted. I'm disappointed to say today I'm online and updating my blog because I'm angry about something. garden.errbufferoverfl.me/notebook/202...

My thoughts on the CyberPath Professionalisation Pilot Survey – errbufferoverfl, enthusiastic zinester & artist, reluctant security engineer

I came here to back up some data and all I got was angry about an accreditation program

I’m also sorry to tell you there is about a 20 minute conversation you need to have with a bot. It sucks, but please stick with it. Otherwise this is how they win.

If you do want accreditation, I guess you can also fill it out.

At the risk of ruining Australian security professionals’ weekend: please spend 30 mins filling out the ACS CyberPath survey. surveyv8.humanlistening.com/survey/b330e... I don’t want mandatory accreditation. I suspect many of you don’t either. We should probably tell them.

I originally read this thinking you lived in Australia in a particular suburb that all the Kiwis move to and you could hear some of them like happily chatting to each other. Wholesome either way 😆

The first hairdresser I visited here had obviously never used the clippers and left the back of my head looking like a cheap copy of "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". The second hairdresser was much better but a staff member made a joke about poor people. So I started shaving my head.

Good news friends! After replacing the printer drums and some more tinkering (they had to pull the printer apart) it's working again! 😙🖨️💕 Thanks to everyone who helped cover the bill, it’s taken so much stress out of getting this bad boy back up and running.

This one means a lot to me because 1, it’s my thesis on why I think security people get so burnt out in their roles. And 2, my zine printer recently broke, and I’m currently trying to cover about $1,500 in repair costs. So every sale big or small helps me cover that cost.

Agree, their website provides little detail. ConnectID was accredited by the ACCC (the Digital ID regulator) last year see digital ID register link below. There is information on what is needed to achieve this accreditation here: www.digitalidsystem.gov.au/digital-id-a...

Hot take - even as a joke, I don't really like the idea of ppl blaming interns for taking down production Even on the chance it happened to be true (and there are definitely cases where it wasn't an intern), if an intern was able to do that, that's a problem with the processes and systems in place

This is probably one of the most pretentious things I will ever say about music but I think albums made with streaming in mind are inferior to albums made to listen to end to end. The sound and feeling they give is completely different and you can tell. There I said it. I won’t take it back.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I Want You to Understand Chicago
Politics Chicago
2025-11-08

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st.

Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…
