Disagree and commit crimes

I was thinking about setting up ntfy.sh soon. Of course, you always run the risk of the notification service crashing and not sending you notifications about it, lol.

Design a bastion to not even offer users a shell. No need for it, so don’t even offer it.

I want to hear about how the scene has changed for the better, how it has changed for the worse, and what we can do to bring back the golden age of zines. I also want to ask them to save me a physical copy (I’ll distribute some at the booth again if you want)

The Subnet is a project by @elcannibal.bsky.social that encourages you to connect to suspicious open access points in order to get free exclusive music from some of your favorite artists.

I have _TWO_ new songs dropping at @defcon.bsky.social this year.

One is on the @defconmusicorg.bsky.social soundtrack, it’s an ode to Hacker Jeopardy in collaboration with @lintile.lol called DFIU.

One is a 56-bar free verse that will be exclusively available on The Subnet (details below).

defcon 33 main stage sunday aug 10 noon - flyer with sick ascii by x0 and aNACHRONiST

Are you going to @defcon.bsky.social??

We'll be giving away 9500 print copies of Phrack!

Come by main stage Sunday @ noon to see @vacci.ne @richinseattle.bsky.social and chompie talk hacker history! This will mark the first time Phrack staff appear together on DEF CON’s main stage.

Content publishers can now get paid per request, effectively, by bots. This gives bots a more reliable way to access the data than participating in the arms race. Places where captcha served anti-abuse can basically be replaced by “you can make as many requests as you want, pay for each one.”

I honestly fully expect the traditional captcha experience to go away. With Cloudflare and Fastly both introducing payment schemes for websites to directly charge bots for interactions, I think it flips the captcha game on its head for most use-cases.

Part of the job as a cybersecurity professional is in fact arguing to purge and not log information about your customers.

Data is not oil. It's risk.

Oh wait second complaint is that I pay an annual subscription to not be able to tell the time. But the annual subscription is comparable to buying a new smart watch every year or two, I guess.

I’ve been such a big fan of the whoop band specifically because it’s not a smart watch. All the health tracking features, a convenient vibrate-my-wrist alarm, no notifications, multi-day battery life, can recharge while wearing.

Only complaint is it doesn’t tell the time.

Come see me rap at the @defcon.bsky.social chillout stage on Saturday Aug 9 @ 8pm.

There will be old raps and new raps,
borrowed raps and blue raps.

I’m at #OpenSauce and the PCB badge has a SAO connector. Badge Life is taking over every conference, isn’t it?

No one knows how many users @obsidian.md has

I think it's around 5-10 million people but I'm not sure?

Anyone can download the app and start using it without creating an account or talking to anyone, and there are no analytics built-in 🤷‍♂️

I still can’t believe they renamed the Cyber Cold War to the Cybrrrr War.

The existence of cyber 9/11 must mean that cyber Pearl Harbor already happened.

Can’t wait for 13ft.io

Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and setting it on fire?

And you can download it in various file formats, but ONLY via FTP. Just for old times' sake. If you don't keep an FTP client installed, try your command line. I bet there's one there.

I had this idea last night while driving home from SFO and seeing all the AI billboards.

Call the company “Actual Intelligence” and a slogan I’m working on: “When even Hitachi can’t fix your vibes, you need Actual Intelligence.”

“Center for Conservative Scholarship” and it’s just got packs of crayons and finger paints, dedicated nap time, and for the thesis they might make some macaroni art.

Make sure to watch them around the glue, though. It’s been known to mysteriously wind up in digestion tracts when left unattended.

From BitchX to Bitch@, 20 years of bitching on the internet.

The three types of data structures in computer science are FIFO, LIFO, and FAFO.

In two years 68% of customer interactions will be performed by AI agents, but in three years 100% of customer interactions will be handled by human beings.

Can DM me here for now and if we have to move beyond that I can share signal or email 🙂
