I am eminently qualified to speak from experience about a variety of dumpster fires.

ICS DFIR at Dragos, martial artist, marksman, humanist, level 14 Neutral Good rogue, USAF retired. I post *very serious* things about infosec. Thoughts my own. Enby. 🏳️‍🌈
The last time I posted this I had some Zionists out themselves and get angry, so to be crystal clear I will repost it. I will always be a voice for the oppressed and for those less privileged than myself. Even if it costs me infosec clout.

When you want to turn on a tv series in Australia you have to wait and be told to go apply waiting security updates to your devices. 💯💯🙌🏻

Oh good, I've gone from the person who critiques every hacking show scene to the person who critiques every immigration scene

My dear friend,

This is either burnout or clinical depression, and if you're feeling like this, (while unfortunately temporarily common in our industry and current world), it is not normal long term - and it will very likely come with serious long term health consequences.

You need to seek help!

What movie are they drawing on my apartment building?

Yea, there's nothing left for me in America. I'm really sorry. This is what a distinguished military career even at senior-most levels gets you now. Fired by internet trolls.

This feels like a very @swiftonsecurity story but I'm going to tell it.

Chat bots (not just LLM driven) are surprisingly old. In the mid 90s, a mark up language for string-driven bots called AIML was released. A small community of early hackers and devs got really into it. I was part as a teen.

The keynote is @davidshoebridge.bsky.social and this is actually going to be my kind of conference, I think.
