Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #52,068!
FTR, it was a great show. The whole cast was awesome. The lounge was really cool too. It was themed to look like the Slytherin common room. I wish all shows on Broadway had something like this.
Got tickets to go see Tom Felton in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Lyric Theatre in November.
Should be a fun little pre-holiday trip.

It's 2025 and I am still emailing files to myself, and I still have three laptops, and three security logins, and three yubikeys, because identity segregation and security is still a complex mess, and I am tired

I wrote some mid-week words for my newsletter (and now blog!) ~this week in security~ on Google today sounding the alarm over a new "widespread" wave of Salesforce data thefts targeting customers of Salesloft Drift.
Excited to share this with premium tier subscribers. ❤️

I'm amused. Just finished moving 11k archives (~20GB). Went to do another backup.
rsync -avzP --delete
The script did what it was asked to do... now I get to move all 11k archives a second time b/c of --delete. Lesson? You can't copy and paste your way out of everything.

I've had a bunch of people ask me why I wasn't at #VulnCon, so I wrote a blog post about it
TL;DR - I don't think VulnCon should exist

Why I didn't go to VulnCon
VulnCon 2025 is over. I didn’t go. A bunch of people have asked me why, and rather than keep my answer to a small group, I thought it would make sense to write something public about it all.
The TL;DR...
