I have been reciting Algorhyme to my network gear to remind it there there is no graph lovelier than a (spanning) tree.
I have now had to disable WiFi AP meshing capabilities, which I wanted as a fall back, but things can get loopy when some switch decides that CAT5 isn't good enough for it […]

@SteveBellovin, I also had the pleasure of explaining many of the jokes and allusions to a younger generation.
For example, you mentioned the Bank of San Seriffe. This led not only to me explaining that number of digits of decimal expansion of 𝜋 I know depends of the number of bugs found in TeX […]

@SteveBellovin, do you have any objection to me blogging on a site named rethinking-security.org ? If you do object, I will find another name. And I will make it clear that I am not you, but that the name is an allusion to Thinking Security.

My wife walks fast, but not faster than light. So scheduling one of her classes with an end time 17:20 and the next to begin at 17:00 in a different building is not going to work.

I’m guessing that this #halloween in #chicago it would be too scary to answer the door dressed as an #ice thug.

So my spouse and I were watching last week’s episode of Slow Horses. This gave me the opportunity to use and explain the expression “jumped the shark.”

It’s #columbusday in #chicago. Will #ice target events featuring those who arrived in the US WithOut Papers and their descendants?
Will those decedents remember what their grandparents were called and how they were treated?
Will I stop framing things in terms of rhetorical questions?

Something in #vscode just wrote a #jupyternotebook in my name, seemingly based on the name I gave to the #python project. When I saw that the file existed, I assumed it was just some “Hello, world” like thing.

I was thinking about the sadly apocryphal story (see the #snopes link below) of non-Jewish Danes wearing yellow stars under Nazi occupation in a sort “I am Spartacus”ploy.

@henryhenryhenry.com @rimaanabtawi.bsky.social, that sounds fascinating.
This is something I have thought about and vaguely constructed some game-theoretic models in my head. But I've never actually made any effort to look at this beyond that. So I really look forward to reading this.

Among myriad problems with this ruling, can we pause to appreciate the childlike naïveté exhibited by Cavanaugh on the barely-worth-mentioning inconvenience of being detained and interogated by ICE? We are approaching Plessy levels of obtuseness, or feigned obtuseness.

The “S” In “IoT” stands for security. https://infosec.exchange/@m8urnett/114421932799495947
Mark Burnett (@[email protected])
I knew IoT software was notoriously insecure, but geez, there's like no security at all. Unchecked buffers, unvalidated updates, deserialization issues, and just about everything else in just about everything I have looked at. I mean colleges could just use them as-is for teaching what not to do. This is just so bad. I've stopped showering.
