iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

At the end of the day, life sure can be funny.

At the time all I could do was laugh. Even now, 35-years later, I still crack up about it when retelling the story to different friends. The military does crazy stuff like this to people, but the camaraderie it builds is unlike nothing else I have ever experienced.

Surprise surprise, right?🤭 To this day I firmly believe San Dawg boot camp purposely put us in the same company specifically to fsck with us.

Hanging with an old military friend reminded me of when I was in Navy boot camp. Of all the companies forming every week in San Diego, mine had both a Jarkoff and a Wyckoff. Our company commanders unsurprisingly yet affectionately referred to us as "jack-off" and "whack-off"🤣

Last night I met up with an old Navy buddy. We have known each other for 25 years, and more or less stayed in touch. When I was on shore duty in Yokosuka in the mid-90's, he and I worked quite closely together on a team of two setting up all the communications channels required at the time.

What kind of idiotic shenanigans is this @f1tv.bsky.social Refusing to support @firefox.com on F1TV, claiming its an unsupported browser makes zero technical sense. This nonsense only started during the Las Vegas GP. Firefox handled every race before without an issue. Completely uncool and illogical

Karp is absolutely bonkers. I do not understand why so many eccentric CEOs voice such extreme ideas about everyday life. Karp can fsck right off gizmodo.com/palantir-ceo...

surely I cannot be the only person who finds it annoying af when Uber or Grab drivers are wearing headphones, and constantly chatting with someone rather than paying attention to the actual road they are allegedly safely navigating to get me to my destination without issue

Unsurprisingly SG tops the list again, w/JP & SK tied for 2nd. What I do find interesting is the US tied for 10th, falling behind UAE, and most of Europe. Ultimately, not a significant difference since US passports nets access to 182 countries vs SG's 193✈️ www.henleyglobal.com/passport-ind...

i understand all these tech youtubers reviewing new tech, endlessly explaining the specs ad nauseam. this does not provide any real value give me feedback after exclusively using the product for 2-4 weeks. no spec walkthrough. just real world usage, and then how that compares to similar products

Not everything in the cyber threat intelligence industry is broken. But too much is warped just enough to matter. "What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world." — Morpheus, The Matrix, 1999

Finding myself falling out of love with my Apple Watch. It no longer supports me, but competes for my attention. I want a beautifully crafted, Rolex-like analog watch honoring elegance and fine craftsmanship, while offering the fitness tracking of an Apple Watch. Surely someone is working on this🤔

Cyber threat intelligence has been captured by performance and profit. Defenders are waking up. The old model is collapsing. A new one is being built from the ground up. Read the full breakdown → praeryx.com/blog/cyber-t... #cybersecurity #cti #cyberthreatintelligence

Night sky view from a beaches in Okinawa is absolutely amazing⭐️🌘 Zero light pollution provides incredible views of the darkness

Praeryx is not here to join the chorus. We are here to burn the broken parts to the ground and rebuild with clarity, with discipline, and with unwavering intent.

100

What rose was not a mere product. It was a presence. A force born of discontent, summoned to confront the arrogance of the present, and disrupt the rhythm numbing the edge of innovation. The epoch of change is no longer on the horizon. It has already begun.

100

Praeryx did not begin with a pitch deck or a roadmap. It began as a whisper, buried beneath noise and indifference, sharpened over time through silence and scrutiny. Forged through quiet conviction and tempered by fire, it emerged from forgotten paths where few dare to tread.

100

The company is called Praeryx. The mission is real. What we are solving has been hiding in plain sight. It is the blind spot quietly weakening defenders while vendors continue to flood the market with noise and theater.

100

I believe in the Praeryx mission so deeply that I walked away from certainty and took the leap. Into the unknown. Into the fire. Bootstrapping an idea and a philosophy the market does not just need, but instinctively knows is long overdue.

100

But a new kind of startup, born from deep frustration, sharp purpose, and outright rejection of the stagnant loop this industry cannot seem to escape. CTI has become theater. Innovation has been replaced by mimicry.

100

For the past year, I have been quietly shaping something different. Not another boring dashboard. Not another tired intelligence feed. Not another monotonous dark web or attack surface management platform recycling the same decrepit data with a slightly shinier UI. Change is no longer optional.

100

After years out of the game, I am finally building again. Not alone, but with a small, focused, talented, relentless team bound by a singular purpose.

110

After years in the trenches of cyber security and cyber threat intelligence, from government halls to global threat briefings, from McAfee to CrowdStrike, and even from the early chaos of deviantART to the sharp edges of the most advanced endpoint technology the world has ever seen.

Something new is coming. Now that CyCon 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia has concluded, this feels like the right moment to publicly, and somewhat officially, announce @praeryx.com

this whole situation is just completely unprecedented, and nobody in government seems to want to try and prevent the further erosion of our country😢

this relentless slaughter just keeps piling on more ruthless carnage, and watching the chiefs spiral into full-blown panic is nothing short of delicious. this is absolute devastation, and i am feasting on it again, fsck both the eagles and the chiefs!

i totally feel you. i purchased a pre-made Ghost theme, and used the *code injection* feature to add CSS to modify the layout to my liking. you can get 90% of your needed customization that way having said that, i did also did into the theme code to make more needed changes to fit my concept

010

thank you sir!🙏🏼 I ended up just not migrating most of the content and started fresh. feels like a brand new home. ive been using ghost in other projects, so was already familiar with it, making the transition easier you should check it out

110

it has been an incredible run, but it is time for a platform that is faster, leaner, and built for the modern web. Ghost offers exactly what i need: a streamlined, blazing fast tool with arguably the best online writing experience available so long, wordpress. thanks for the incredible memories

000

i refuse to support a platform not respecting the people and businesses that helped build it into what it is today

100

while i admire wordpress as a technology, the way matt matt mullenweg handled the wp engine situation left a sour taste. watching a company so deeply embedded in the open web mistreat its own ecosystem was enough for me to walk away
