oh my god we're living out the 80s kids movie trope of "an evil rich guy bought the community center where we hang out and is gonna destroy it" FUCK we'd all better learn to break dance really fast

Lots of useful advice in this thread. I have survived two major recessions by minimizing overhead/costs, diversifying my income stream, and maintaining a strong professional network even in good economic times.
"Tech workers who didn't live through the dot com crash, you have no idea what's coming. Prepare yourselves." This isn't actionable. People who don't know what's coming probably don't know how to prepare for it. Dotcom crash survivors, what is your actionable advice for people?

reluctantly, wimremes@infosec.exchange :'(

Oh my! @yesthattom does a great job encapsulating what USENIX LISA meant to so many of us of a certain technical generation. Great history lesson here! usenix.org/publications/logi…

Pushing it the date to the other side of mid-terms, where it likely becomes a moot point. But the Supreme Court is not political, right?

Bob: So, how do I find people to follow on Mastodon? Ed: It's decentralised. Use the right instance! Bob: Ok, it's not a monolith. How do I find the right instance? Ed: You ask people on Twitter! Bob: Did you just tell me to go fuck myself? Ed: I believe I did, Bob.

Assume she is technical and capable of breathing fire
The show floor has only been open for two hours and I’ve already been asked “can I speak to someone technical?”

Extremely relevant
I was “in the newspapers as a youth activist” level of O-U-T as a queer student at 16yo in 1991. EVERY SINGLE ONE of the objections we now see about trans youth was made about me, and I am FURIOUS at all the gays and lesbians my age who are falling for this now. To them:

0pointer.de/blog/brave-new-t… - this is very nice. Needs some work for it to work well with consumer Linux distros (some way to handle kernel command line arguments that don't have a security impact, the spec for initrd extensions), but definitely a big step in the right direction.

DTR. Defining the Relationship. Afraid of commitment or not, in investigations, it's important to identify what you're looking for in evidence before you jump in. That means defining the relationship you're trying to identify... let me explain... 🧵 /1

how to quit a social media site with a bang: 1. DM everyone you know "I ruined my marriage because I am in love with you" 2. follow up with "sorry, wrong window" 3. log out

I think one of the most wonderful people in infosec (in the world actually) is @pink_tangent and she recently put some suggestions to a conference organiser to instead stop asking other women to ask women to submit and maybe look internally. I will elaborate more: 1/9

Once you understand that there are individuals of wealth and power that literally profit from the back-and-forth of the economy - using it to subsidize their losses and privatize their gains - then the continued existence of those "mysterious" cycles makes way more sense.
