Yesterday I passed my GIAC GCIL, today involved a trip to the German Consulate in Amsterdam. Wandered past some of the Pride setup and the Rijksmuseum, then a late lunch with a refreshing margarita.

If there's a Demel nearby, I'd recommend the Fachertorte. I first had it at VIE many years ago, and finally got to try it again last weekend (also at the airport) ~10 EUR/slice though.

Layered pastry pie/tart, on a square white plate, with a napkin that reads Demel in gold letters, and a cake fork next to it.

Workshop today with @snyff.pentesterlab.com was great, and he has generously provided stickers for @stickerstalluk.github.io which we (me + @ministraitor.bsky.social) will bring to @bsidesleeds.bsky.social I also got a copy of his book.

A desk, there are 3 packs of stickers, 1 is Hack the planet, where planet is a picture of the world, base is silver, a dark pack of stickers with and an orange bug and code in the background, with pentesterlab listed, the third is a rectangular white background sticker pack, with Read Code in and a icon style hand with index finger pointing and light blue text/code in the background, and the square next to it reads Receive Bug, with an icon style pair of hands clapping and a small red bug. Next to the stickers and bSides Luxembourg badges on lanyards.

A book with a turquoise-sage green background, there is a basic diagram/symbol of square chip with connectors in white. The book is titled CVE Archaeologist's Field Guide, with a subtitle of Methodology and lessons from 10 vulnerability analyses. The author is Louis Nyffenegger. ISBN 979828008682.

Continuing #loungewanker (as @sharonodea.com calls it) At CDG, waiting for DUB flight. Going to say goodbye to @fvt.bsky.social tomorrow.

View from AirFrance 2E lounge at CDG, it is over a road and metro, and planes can be seen to the left. The view is obscured by mesh, and there are large glass louvre style shades.

Not the best picture of tulips, but I like the colours in this picture.

Picture taken from the passenger side of a LHD car. In the foreground is the dash and part of the steering wheel. There is bright yellow rapeseed visible close to the car in a wide space separating the oncoming traffic. A white car can be seen in the right of the picture, on the left of the picture a white wind turbine, beyond this a stripe of orange, and then a large stripe of fuchsia pink, and then a stripe of pale pink, these are tulips from a distance. In the background are green trees, the sky is blue, with some small white clouds. It is sunny

After a fun time at #bsideslancashire and seeing F&F at the weekend, it is time to head back to Europe.

A series of metal structures, including a vehicle gangway. At the end of the gangway you can see a building and "T OF HULL" (P-O-R are obscured). Most of the metal is painted mid to dark blue.

I haven't been for an evening science (non-infosec) talk for ages. Looking forward to @drlucyrogers.com speak.

Projector screen with a slide, clouds are the background and the title "Looking Up: Stories, Science, and Surprises", the author/speaker name is in the lower right corner "Lucy Rogers". Around the screen is a white wall, beams, and lighting.

They (White Swan) should head over here from twitter ;-) Had a lovely early Xmas meal with family when I was back in Lancs (have been a few times)

White Swan plum gin and ginger sour - the cocktail is salmon coloured and topped with white foam. There is a slice of lime on the side of the glass, the glass is goblet shaped. It the background are 2 empty tumblers for water and an earthenware jug in beige, these are on a dark wood table.

Missed Netwars this evening as too tired after attending my first SANS course - the excellent LDR553 lead by @Nebulator.infosec.exchange I won a challenge coin as part of the capstone. A good week, but super tired.

Challenge coin in a box,there is a green disc in the middle, there is an arm raised in grey holding a lightning bolt. The text around the outer edge reads 'Aggressively Negotiation the removal of the adversary' and 'Understand . Communicate . Lead. Restore.

I am optimistic the return trip is going to be better. Passport control was a breeze, and there was a post-security lounge. It appears I will be getting a late lunch.

Eurostar Premier Lounge in London. There are some velvet chairs with normal height tables. And velvet bar stools at a circular bar. Sadly the cocktail bar is not opened on a weekend. The velvet is dark red. The floors are wooden. There is a modern circular light above the bar.

Picture of an unopened menu leaflet, and a packet with a refreshing towel. These are blue as per the Eurostar branding.

Some not very good photos from @bsidesleeds.bsky.social It was lovely to see so many people after such a long time, and to give @mintynet.com IRL ((hugs)) rather than virtual.

Photo of of the opening of Mat Caplan's talk in compliance at bSides Leeds. Slide says "Stop Making Nonsense”, there are a lot of backs of heads in fron of me.

Photo of the final panel session at bSides Leeds, showing all bar one of the panelists.

You're welcome. It looked lovely over there last night. (flying visit to see family)

The Wellsprings and Pendle Ski Club, approached from the Sabden side. Old low building with car park, dry stone wall, and artificial ski slope.

Still sick after more than a week, so on Dr's recommended rest. Opted to listen to some new music. The new @garbage.com is great. But Google AI is still awful - you can find the Rolling stone interview at www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Image shows a screenshot of a webpage from a Google search, with a Google AI overview, which states "The Garbage song " The Day That I Met God" does not not contain the word "tramadol" in the lyrics. The song is about a spiritual encounter the feeling of being lost and unable to speak after meeting God" it contains a link to YouTube audio of the song and then follows with "The lyrics include descriptions of chaos, noise, and a feeling of being overwhelmed." This answer is in response to the query "garbage album the day that I found god lyrics tramadol". The AI response is incorrect.

Screenshot from the Rolling Stone interview with Shirley Manson, showing the part where Tramadol is discussed.

"Yes, you sing that you found God in Tramadol"
"I love the humor in it. It gets disarmed by this realization that perhaps I'm not as smart as I thought I was and maybe I'm just high. So it's sort of having that inner dialogue, the wrestle with yourself and your faith."

"Well, I'm glad Tramadol provided that for you."
"So am I. I've very grateful."

This shows that the Google AI overview is incorrect, and could be easily shown otherwise from readily available sources on the internet.
