Expect extreme temps 🥵🌡️ climate change + desert= 100+ degrees F everyday basically. Combined with how 🥶 cold the conferences traditionally are it's recommended to bring hydration powder &carry a hoodie in your bag.🧣🧤Hell- carry a blanket, snuggie, hand warmers.Don't forget COVID 😷masks &🦠 sanitizer!

🥼🧪 experimenting with cataloging my descent into #defcon31 on Bluesky. First thing is around this time of year I get way more phishing attacks & "nation state apt may be trying to access your account" warnings from the platforms & tools I use. Some are so good 🏆, I store them for later.

who is headed to defcon? blackhat? diana initiative? bsides vegas?
