i’m about 6 years in as a security analyst. this kind of stuff is what i’ve been wanting to do since high school. i’ve been wanting to challenge myself lately but hadn’t found a project that hooked me until this.

A friend dared me to pen test his home network with the goal of placing a text file on his desktop as confirmation. I’m preparing a formal report for me plus an informal powerpoint for the group.

I did not expect this to be the project to light a fire under me but here we are 💀

DMV on my birthday without any sleep is not how I wanted to start the day 😭

Quickest way for me to know I’m stressed is when the phrase “I can’t” returns to my vocabulary.

I hope your friendship bonds are strong because I’m definitely witnessing mine be tested 🫠

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

First DEFCON Visit: ✅

I met so many new people, learned a lot, wish I learned more, and have a renewed passion for my career.

good luck!

I want to say you can just contact the counselors at the colleges you’re interested in. They deal with a lot of unique situations for students and ‘non-traditional’ students like working adults is a pretty common situation they have to navigate.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean court approves the arrest of former President Yoon Suk Yeol over December's martial law decree.

makes sense. i view the lottery as a poor person’s pipe dream given the slim odds. it makes me wonder how often do rich people actually play the lottery and whether a cap would have any significant change on the lottery itself.

is this an attempt to bar rich people from participating?

223.8 💪🏾 Plateaued for a bit last month because I was traveling & eating out for a few weekends in a row. My weight for most of May stayed at 229-231 until 5/26 and hit 223.8 5on 5/28.

Ain’t no way I lost almost 8lb in a week so it was all bloat 😭

I hit 239lb when I posted this and I’m currently 229lb with a 5K race scheduled for tomorrow morning.

I have *maybe* 2 pairs of pants that still fit. My gym shorts are getting loose too 😭

After this CTF I never want to see a GraphQL query EVER again. #EthicalHacking #CyberSecurity

I spent my game budget for the month then Steam slaps me with the Spring Sale

I broke through my last weight loss plateau! I’m excited that I’m still moving toward the goal but I’m running out of old pants to wear 😅

Hot Take:

I’m okay with health bar mods as long as people don’t use it to berate other players on their performance.

"The Black mentor class is being fired, not just on television but throughout America."

And that's why it will never be enough to "express sympathies" and send "thoughts and prayers". If you want to make a difference, hire, platform, support, and put on Black folks. Anything less is cheap talk.

I’ve started greying at 29. They aren’t prominent enough for people to see but I can see them whenever I’m doing my hair.

Using cozy games to reset from a ranked grind is a secret cheat code I wish I knew years ago

I might buy a Playstation out of spite at this point.

Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.

Air purifier for the allergies. Also change your home’s air filters monthly.

More controversial but: I don’t allow my cats into my bedroom. I love them but if their fur is in my face I can’t breathe and my eyes get itchy.
