This is a social media platform, with many of different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be […]

I am flummoxed at this sign next to a parking lot for a walking trail. I thought this could be just superfluous quotes, but... it's a parking lot? Then I just thought, do they mean no making out after dark? #scandlous

Oh man, so I'm looking to relax and put on some #StarTrek. Next up in the queue is #STNG S7E18, "Eye of the Beholder", and WHAM deep talk about #suicide . Listening to Data relate his experience on suicidal thought... Gut punch.

Why use a URL shortener when you can use a phishy URL extender?

Keep your security people alert and awake, generate phishing-looking redirecting link

FYI - because of what I saw happening over on mastodon. Social and a few other instances, I am resetting all the password of infosec.exchange users that haven't logged in during the previous 3 months. There's a lot of password stuffing and whatnot going on and I don't want to contribute to the […]

Just had an idea that I'll throw out to the universe and see if anyone wants to pick it up. An app like #Tea, but for shitty bosses. I'd love to blacklist some real assholes.

Ever seen this on a job application?

Do you currently reside in any of the following states: HI, MS, NM, WV, WY?

Unfortunately we are unable to hire employees living in these states.

@foxyloon I think most 9-25 pin convertors will work. I remember having a huge box them them from different vendors. I think they are pretty universal, but I'm working off 40 year old memories.

@foxyloon Back in the late 80s, I used to make RS-232 cables for terminals connected to a System V server. I would guess that 25 pin connector can support that type of connection.

If you don't have an RS-232 to USB yet, they aren't too hard to find […]

Have you or your kids ever tried to use YouTube with content restrictions on? Nearly everything is blocked. Google constantly blocked videos that were required for school. My kids have to log out of their google account just to do schoolwork.

This will be bad.
