Feel free to ping me if you have questions about the BlueHat 2026 CFP (closing Feb 28) or want to brainstorm a talk/paper idea that you're considering submitting.

Yeah neither look like great options (for those of us still with a foot in both worlds)

I’ll put you down in the “not using Yup or Buffer” column 😆

Anyone using Buffer or Yup (or something else) to cross post to both Twitter and BlueSky? And if so, are you liking the experience?

Secure software development helps protect data, prevent breaches, & maintain trust. It is a critical issue for every technology leader today.

To discuss, I invited Michael Hanley, GitHub’s CSO and SVP of Eng on this week’s episode. This is a ‘cannot miss’ episode.

Sooo there are no DMs in Bluesky (yet) but is there an equivalent feature allowing you to essentially message just a specific user(s)?

In case you missed it (from Twitter) we announced the dates for the next BlueHat conference. BlueHat will be back (this year) October 11 & 12, 2023, in Redmond, WA. More info, including CFP details, will be announced shortly. For now: Save the date!

WOWOWOW! Amazing!!! I have (what I think are) oyster mushrooms growing wild in the woods on my property but I'm not 100% sure and so I haven't harvested them. I need to learn how to properly identify the edible varieties!

Honest question: do these facial recognition devices save travelers/customers any (significant?) time when going through security check points? Is there any benefit for "me"?

Wow! And are you inoculating with dry spores or are these starter kits (or something else)?

Ooo what mushrooms are you growing? Or do you need to plead the 5th? ;-)

Awesome. Thank you Ron. I'll give this a try.

Thank you! Could one set it up to run every minute? (would that be too frequent?) and if there's a significant enough delay and/or timeout/failure it creates a log and/or sends an alert somehow?

Also... does bluesky use hashtags?

Is there a logging or analysis tool I can run on my home network to help determine what is happening when my internet appears to "go down" for several minutes yet the modem, gateway/router and APs are still technically all online and connected? #ubiquiti #unifi #help

We're in the planning stages for the next BlueHat conference and one of the questions we're pondering is WHEN? So... when do y'all think we should host - or NOT host (in order to avoid another con/event) - the next BlueHat? It would most likely be in Redmond, WA on the Microsoft campus.

Wendy and I had a ton of fun interviewing you for the podcast - thanks for your time Dan! BTW, I think it's 46 minutes well spent!
