In 1986 I was attending a small liberal arts college that had a CS program with a single faculty position that was cross-listed with the math department. So the CS students got to run the small network of Sun3 machines.

If you felt a strange disturbance in the Force it was just me finally turning off the email/DNS services that I've been running for decades. This is somewhat bittersweet for me, so hang on for some stream of consciousness storytelling about 30+ years of email management.

RBAC doesn't scale. At all. It's time we do away with this theoretical approach to access control.
Every decade or so the world (re)discovers RBAC/MAC. tailscale.com/blog/rbac-like…

I know COVID is on everybody’s minds right now but don’t neglect your other regular vaccinations. It’s flu vaccine time again, and this is particularly important for the immunocompromised.

I'm collecting used laptops to fix up for 1000+ families in need. Let me know if you have any to spare

For those of you who have been missing it during the COVID crisis, this is what leadership looks like. Kudos to @strandjs and @WWHackinFest for making the tough call and doing the right thing. youtube.com/GZ__IuhDqyc

great find! 😁 ☝ triggered the exploit without owning a Razer mouse device! with a (rooted) Android device (using configfs) it was possible to construct the required usb gadget. 👉 so just plug in an Android phone and elevate to local admin immediately 💥🔥💥
Need local admin and have physical access? - Plug a Razer mouse (or the dongle) - Windows Update will download and execute RazerInstaller as SYSTEM - Abuse elevated Explorer to open Powershell with Shift+Right click Tried contacting @Razer, but no answers. So here's a freebie

Maybe I should give up this DFIR life and take up my true calling as the host of Jeopardy!

Demonstrably false. Certainly the sex workers are not benefitting financially from losing their livelihoods.
This is pretty much the most acceptable and best answer when a friend shares something like this. Look at any of your friends. Had they met you as another gender would you still enjoy their company? Yup. Cool, can we go do the thing now? Accept and love people for who the are. ❤️
I told a friend I’m trans today. He said, Yeah I kind of figured. Can we still go running? “

Somebody is spending a lot of money lobbying to make the Internet hostile to sex workers. Who benefits financially from this?

You do know what is right. Beware any person or group who tries to interfere with your personal moral compass. True mastery comes from within.

My county in Florida is now offering booster COVID vaccines for the immunocompromised. While I’d like to see more of our population getting their first dose, this is good news for those that need it. seminolecountyfl.gov/departm…
