@ksaj SNMP - Security not my problem

One of the nice ways of keeping @defcon@defcon.social memories alive is to have @somafm@sfba.social on background as I work. :-)

So here we go. On my way to LAS later tonight for my favourite week of the year - Security/Hacker Summer Camp! You can find me at the Omdia Analyst Summit and the Black Hat Innovators and Investors Summit on Tuesday, Black Hat Briefings on Wednesday and Thursday, then DEFCON Friday to Sunday (topics/villages of interest include Blue Team, Cloud, AI, Policy).
Hoping everyone attending is able to make the best of the week, be it in new learnings, new or rekindled connections, and more. Remember that one can't do it all and that pacing yourself is important.
I'm ecstatic about the opportunity to discuss the ongoing evolution of cybersecurity, be it the platform debate, trends in network/cloud/application security, and more. I'm really curious to hear perspectives on these and other topics. (Edit: near-term research-specific topics also include software supply chain security, DDOS prevention)
Also, a personal favour to ask, if I may: Like many others, I'm horrible with face-name mapping, particularly at events, so say a quick "hi, remember me, I'm " as it helps me tremendously. Many thanks!!!!

Trying very hard not to get too frustrated with Passport Canada right now. :-( One is instructed to call them in some time-sensitive situations, but when I do I get "we can't take call now, we're too busy, call later".
What's one to do?

Current mood: I just put together a spreadsheet to predict when my call will be answered by passport office. Nice of them to tell me how many calls ahead of mine...
Another hour or so waiting...

@order@chaotic.fun @carnage4life@mas.to Yes, I respect the value of the recommendations for people, and appreciate some don't use it that much and prefer manual curation. I'm probably 30/70 recommendation/manual (will join in on some of what's topical/popular if it aligns to my interests - 3 Body Problem and Shogun as good examples).
All I know is that for me I deeply value the back catalogue and will be disappointed if things I want to watch "disappear", with no hesitation on cancelling service if I find value is no longer there. As always, YMMV.
