For some reason I thought about Aloria today.

She was an inspiring woman, and this quote about her mental health struggles will always stick with me: “It’s a long hard road ahead sometimes, but that doesn’t mean that the journey isn’t going somewhere, and it isn’t worthwhile.”

A powerful reminder.

PSA: You don’t owe anyone an explanation about the health reasons why you are wearing a mask.

Badgering others about the tools they need to survive is stigmatizing and ableist, and should have no place in decent society.

Ne faisons pas semblant, la spécificité de la nuit de Noël c'est justement qu'elle n'est pas spécialement silencieuse, et c'est pour ça qu'on l'aime bien.

Alors maintenant, quitte à ce qu'elle soit un peu sonore, qu'elle le soit bien. Non, mieux, REMARQUABLEMENT.

In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one!

Cloudflare is down which means that downdetector - the service people use to check if things are down - is also down.

The deep problems with cybersecurity degree programs are significant and a whole other discussion. Cyber degrees usually fail to teach good foundations in computers. They become obsolete too fast. We know that and orgs are rapidly shifting to prefer CS, CE, and NE majors for juniors.

Overheard at #Pwn2Own: This exploit will take 1 second.

Seen at #Pwn2Own: PHP Hooligans take 1 second to run their exploit of the QNAP TS-453E.

They head off to the disclosure room to explain the hours of work that lead to that 1 second demo.

In the early 2000s we put a very simple chatbot based on Markov chains on a couple of IRC channels and let it learn from all messages. After a couple of weeks people got into fiery arguments with it because they expected a human and instinctively ignored telltale signs of a chatbot.
