I'm not sure the actual words exist that could describe my disdain for the guy in the commercial who says "biberty".

Yea, lots of self proclaimed experts out there at times like that. Our two repeaters (Amateur radio) are both messed up right now. Hoping to get them back on the air soon.

2/2 The tree tornado damage he proclaimed was actually trees cut by the power company and/or the township over the last few months. I can see some out my front window & they've been that way for a while. Remember: storm chaser does not necessarily equal storm expert.

Had a tornado blow through a few days ago, just about 3 miles from my house. We had "storm chasers" & others flying up & down the roads like absolute maniacs for a while. I saw pictures posted by a storm chaser this morning of what he said was tornado damage to trees in the area. I had to laugh 1/2

I just started watching the NFL again after taking a break for a few years. Mainly got back into it because my grandson loves it. I am bewildered by a lot of the calls by the refs. The NFL rulebook is crazy and its enforcement is a little haphazard sometimes.

Pretty bizarre ending to that one.

Thank you! Doing well, just crazy busy as always. Hope you are doing well too!

After a long time away, I am back on Bsky. Kinda just needed a break from social media. Time to catch up with everyone's posts and see what I missed.

Thank you! Haven't been on here for quite a while. Much appreciated my friend.

So great being back to work in a job I'm really enjoying. Been brushing up on my Wireshark skills this morning before work to help me diagnose some issues. So much fun getting my mind re-engaged on cool stuff.

MALoney (It's in the name): OneDrive Offline Mode (Recallish vibes) Back in April 2024, Microsoft announced a new feature coming to OneDrive for Business called Offline Mode. The feature al...

There seemed to be enough interest so I decided to do a write up on what I have found about OneDrive Offline Mode. Hate to burn a forensic artifact but I’m concerned about what Microsoft feels is secure. #DFIR

I got a poorly written job offer email last night with a link to an online Office.com application form. Obvious scam & I reported it to MS. Just in case you want to scam anyone, MS confirmed to me that abusing online Office forms for job scams is not a violation of the terms of service.

The whole article has the look of someone needing to come up with something, anything to post so they threw a mess of crap together and called it an article. Truly just terrible and dangerous advice that I hope no one follows.

5 free and open-source alternatives to paid anti-virus software Here are some free and open-source alternatives to commercial antivirus software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

2/2 I posted a comment on the article saying they were giving terrible suggestions and my comment was promptly deleted. Take a look at this craziness: www.xda-developers.com/free-open-so...

I saw a link to this terrible post & decided to take a look. The article suggests "free & open source" alternatives for antivirus. One suggestion hasn't had a release in over 20 years. Another that hasn't had a release in 15 years and one more whose Github page indicates it's been 8 years. 1/2

Currently half time at a high school basketball game I'm attending and once again I'm pondering what it is about sports that tells people that in order to be a fan of their team they have to be a complete and total a-hole.

Amen to that.

Thanks Cory!

Thanks Lorie!

So excited to be going back to work as of tomorrow after a few months without a job. Going in in the morning to meet with HR and do the on-boarding stuff. Best part of the job is I'm going to be working on things that really interest me with people I already know and like.

Definitely join if you have an interest in a malware reversing and analysis. One of the most welcoming and helpful Discord groups you could hope to find.

Coming to you live from 2025 Snowpocalypse. My area is forecast to get 8-12 inches of the white stuff mixed with sleet and freezing rain. I'm just hoping the rural electric co-op we have can keep the power on throughout. Here's a pic of the current view out my back door. Everyone be safe out there!

I got exciting news on the employment front yesterday. Starting back at a former employer that I miss greatly on a part-time basis for now with the near future plan of being full time. I'm so excited at this opportunity and so very grateful for it.

I've been using the free tier of Zoho mail with my own domain for several years and I'm very happy with it.
