    Yeah a million bucks is great but have you tried —-after two years I can finally eat with the fork in my left hand.

    You don’t know how it feels when you’ve spent a decade taking to a void about serious threats to faltering water ICS security and the news finally breaks and the headlines are “vulnerable PLCs can be hacked”. I’m just wrecked.

    One of the Chicago news anchors asked what High School I went to and mate I moved 20,000km to never meet anyone who knows what Naperville is or what it was like being the poor kid there.

    Rather be poor and not famous than have anyone question in twenty years where I stood on human rights, or if I was afraid to take a stand against evil.

    You might think you’re prepping for the apocalypse but have you seen Victoria’s LORA mesh networks?

    Mad Max is actually kind of a shitty series because when you move to Australia as a punk and you find all the Mad Max people, they are.... pretty much like all the punks everywhere, and absolutely the people to leave your small child with. It&#39;s the... other ones you have to worry about.

    If I gambled on both NFTs and the metaverse to the tune of millions and millions of dollars and even renamed my company accordingly I would be so canceled I’d be farming potatoes, but people are still quoting Zuck AI predictions on my daily news feed.

    Um, can anyone please help me with a contact at VirusTotal to unblock a school IP?

    I’ve been talking to a lot of journalists about the US Midwest water hacking and I get asked a lot why we hear so little about cyber threats against water and sewage when it’s what scares us as practitioners the most. I think it’s psychological. &gt;&gt;&gt;

    Nobody warns you how tremendously disconcerting going back to an American restaurant is after living anywhere else long term. - them walking off with your credit card &amp; no tap to pay - the huge portions and sodium - the weird attentiveness for tips - being IDed over 30 - flags everywhere

    Since we are doing eating and Australia this is how you eat fast food sushi in Australia - one of the cheapest quick bites you can get anywhere.

    Emigrating has generally been a very, very complicated and difficult task, but by far the hardest aspect has been relearning how to use a knife and fork. It&#39;s way harder than accents or driving on the other side of the road.

    Even the man stubbornly fights the man in Australia This is the KFC reaction to a postal worker getting fired after an unauthorised KFC break (other stuff too, but everyone likes a good tale)

    They had better have chosen ACDC for the Australian emergency alert tone

    I’m in Singapore, and somehow I accidentally booked myself a tiny Disney princess hotel room that I can barely move around in without bonking my shins. It is tremendously goofy and fun but I have also been on 70 hours of flights so I’m very tired

    Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Castle are both absolutely iconic movies for millennials and Gen X, and I can’t believe I never saw them in America. I mean, Hugo Weaving giving a thoughtful performance on 90s LGBT struggles, in drag, with dialogue on trans life at the time. (Cis actor aside.)

    People don’t get that how far a bit of courtesy and effort goes in job hunts. I have gifted conference passes, party invites, given referrals, certification vouchers, and internships to mentees who showed up and cared. I’ve also permanently blocklisted people who low effort AI spammed, or no showed.

    I bought a Fjallraven backpack because they were so highly recommended, and I’m sorry, I don’t understand the point and I have massive regrets. Someone needs to sell me the bag I purchased, because it’s not padded well and has no luggage strap or extra security pockets. Why do people buy these?

    I’ll be debuting a new paper tomorrow at #OTCEP withJan Hoff. It’s about how to detect and more relevantly, remediate large scale commodity malware infections in legacy Windows environments that are unfortunately extremely common in critical infrastructure. https://dragos.brightspotcdn.com/26/7e/547e75c5410ba8e2aec7525fae46/dragos-2026-otcep-ir-whitepaper.pdf

    Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here’s a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.

    American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug and psychosis. Try being an immigrant American living somewhere with social medical and telling people it’s actually good and less expensive. The bots and naysayers come screaming out of the woodwork to try to make excuses for why it’s actchully terrible.

    It’s fascinating to live in a time where the majority of global consumers are just fed up and hate everything new on the market. Hate removal of physical media Hate forced AI Hate video surveillance in cars and homes Hate micro transactions Hate digital subscriptions What a time to be alive!

    The most benign but still absolutely terrible part of Palantir surveilling every move we make in global groceries is someone actually does know and permanently record when I eat nothing but paneer tikka masala instant meals for 10 days straight

    Went to the doc today and she was like, here’s your bc prescription and your shots, see you in a year” and I was like “but no exam?” and “shouldn’t I lose some weight?” and she was like “what no, you’re perfectly healthy?” and fam, I genuinely love Australia and I’m sorry I have US healthcare trauma
