Had an amazing time #FirstCon last week. Met a bunch of awesome folks from all over the industry. Around 3 hours of sleep per night and 17 hours of social interactions ^^ Was so done but also super happy on friday :) Cheers to all the awesome folks in our industry <3

Hunting bottlenecks in my infra.
For months I thought it was the MySQL server. Now that I have some stats, this does not seem to be the case. Time to check the other servers...

At the beginning of this month i bought myself a #Steamdeck.
Must admit I am very pleasently surprised by it. Nice handling, great screen resolution, good performance. Better and more versatile than a Nintendo Switch.
Nice product @valvesoftware

Hope my back will thank me in some years...

Small Bugfix in gi7w0rm.github.io/ArrayThisClo...

Thank you :)

Happy to share that I have signed a work contract at a CTI company.
Also, today was my last work day at my old employer, since I took the remaining vacation days. Looking forward to 2 weeks of rest to prepare for whats to come.
Cheers all ❤️

Seems someone just tried to pay an Uber with my @ThinkstCanary token CreditCard which I entered into a #webskimmer.
I bet it didn't go well ^^

Please excuse the lack of content in the last weeks.
I am overhelmed by current political developments and additionally working on some topics that I can't publicly disclose. No capacity for free research :/ Hope this will get better in some months.
Cheers to all my friends and followers.❤️

Looking good on the #jobhunt. Hope to sign a contract by the end of next week.
Currently decluttering my workdesk to be prepared for a fresh start. Highly motivated for whats to come 😊 💪

Happy to have received recognition for being a #TopContributor to the abuse_ch project in #2024. Currently ranking place 4 in the leaderboard of global #IoC sharing via #Threatfox.
Definetly planning to keep up that rank in the next years.

Cheers to the Team @abuse_ch and @spamhaus.bsky.social!
