@varmaz.is I fondly remember your reaction to Dade’s “Not bad… for a girl” line when we watched Hackers at Derbycon. Followed by @todb.hugesuccess.org’s response to Dade’s “you’re lucky I’m such a gentleman” line. So proud to be part of our team.

Resist tyranny. It doesn't matter if Chris Krebs is our friend or enemy. Sure, he's demonstrated enormous character in the situation, but still, such political retaliation is evil whoever he is.

Such a perfectly pragmatic @erratarob.bsky.social take on the situation. Rob doesn’t expect people to agree with his politics - which is healthy - rather he lays out why this shouldn’t be about political leanings anyway.
Here's my blogpost in support of Krebs. It's different enough from those by @stamos.org or @k8em0.bsky.social that it's worth writing, though the conclusion is much the same.

Update on the CVE sitch, CISA has "executed the option period on the contract to ensure there will be no lapse in critical CVE services." Yay! Not sure what it means for the future, but for now, no loss of CVE Program service. Thanks CISA! www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

Since security firms have gone quiet, let me say that @thekrebscycle.bsky.social was an exemplary 1st director of CISA & worked super hard to defend & protect the American people. The pineapple on pizza thing is still weird, but otherwise, I’m a fan. I stand with Chris. #defenddemocracy
