Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I’m looking for someone for a project about bringing cyber + “Hollywood” together. Will be fun. Anyone in the movie/tv show business that also has a vague interest in cybersecurity? 040
Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 31/03/2026I’m late to this party but… Project Hail Mary, right? Maybe Hollywood should continue to make more movies based on epic Sci-Fi books with a built-in fan base? 🤔 Or just cranck out a dozen more sequels with the same recipe… yeah, I’m guessing that. 010

Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Amen - a pain when you actually need a loan but never a reason to have it unfrozen otherwise. So upsetting you need an account to do this with all the companies I never asked to rate my credit in the first place. 000
Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Amen, Jim! I’m reminded of the scene from “Hackers” where the Director of Security explains the breach to the board and how somebody didn’t follow his guidance on passwords. It was too on the nose (even holds up in 2026 😬). That said, we have slightly better enforcement tools now than in ‘95 000
Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Cyberattacks = war. That’s increasingly public opinion globally. Interesting read. Hopefully countries tread carefully with one another in this theater. 000

Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I would vote in-office v. WFH to start a career, my $.02. I can’t speak highly enough about the cyber profession but you have to WANT it. Super competitive and you usually need to grind as a grunt for years before you make real $$$ and do anything fun. Can’t speak for law as a career. 000
Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Cybersecurity is harder to break into but way more fun. Functionally, cyber is cheaper to start (don’t need advanced degree to start) but will also usually pay less for entry level. What’s make you interested in cyber v. Law? PS - sorry can’t help with tuition 100

Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 05/01/2026I think the entire movie Marty Supreme is rage bait. Shitty people doing shitty things. The most egregious dialogue to make you hate every character.

Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Was this a crypto use-case? Curious if/when one would consider TEE for building an AI application… still trying to wrap my head around this space. This is definitely further down the stack than I’m familiar with 100
Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 01/01/2026I like crypto but the reality of avg people being technical/responsible enough with their life savings and NO intermediary is also terrifying for 95% of the population. People would say “use a crypto service” then but it seems you have the same intermediary risks…. 100

Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Yeah, wonder if we could build something on top of BSky to make it more interesting to the infosec community? Any thoughts? Or is it simply waiting until we naturally get more infosec people & memes here. Cause agree that’s gonna take awhile… 000
Brandon @that2000sguy.bsky.social · 30/12/2025I always thought a decentralized version would come along and kill Twitter. Musk might’ve helped speed it up.
