So I see you TeamPCP, I just wish you made more sense. Keep up the mystery so I can turn you into one of my case studies.

Financially motivated groups, not super interesting to me and supply chain compromise is interesting to get my attention but focusing on a specific target like Iran now that is very interesting.

They are a recently new group who is focused on cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, credential theft and supply chain compromise and now focusing on wiping out Iranian victim machines.

But, I think TeamPCP is turning into a new obsession of mine, more then just a financial focused criminal group but now, also an ideology focused one. Who is TeamPCP and what are they all about.

Well, What an interesting time, from a malware perspective it’s exciting to see but, I am still ranking my favorite malware package as Silver Sparrow for OSX mostly because of the mystery of it and the novelty of it.

Bulk trash pickup, what a wonderful day!

So this just happens to be how the year 2026 starts out. Well, just a few more months for 2027 I guess.

So, I started writing my own, and I still need to get this reviewed by my department; however, my original plan was to use my university's publishing capabilities, but it was suggested to me. I might want to look for a textbook publisher. Does #AcademicSky have any advice?

Good morning and afternoon to my #AcademicSky brothers and sisters!

I am looking for some advice about publishing a book. I have a technical subject I am currently teaching that needs many updates. The current textbook selections are lacking, and what I am looking for is not included.

Docker installs fine, I am able to load most everything but I can not get openwebui to make a connection in my system. It might be a issue with NVIDIA and how it connects within Docker. #cachyOS #Arch #OpenWebUI

I have spent the last 5 years on Manjaro Linux. I was having stability issues and decided to try CachyOS.

Both are based on Arch, but Cachy fixed most of my issues.

I still have one issue I am trying to solve, and it might be an Arch issue, but I am unable to run the Docker container openwebui

Congratulations to today’s graduating Wildcats from the University of Arizona College of Information Science! You’ve earned this!

Through long nights, tough projects, and constant learning. Take a breath, celebrate big, and carry that momentum forward. Bear Down, Class of 2025! 🎓🐻⬇️

Greed is Destroying the World YouTube video by Drew Gooden

This is one of those videos that needs to be watched.

No rest during winter break my love!

Preparing for next semester and going for a pixel game theme next semester. The course image is seen only on the course page but I have fun making them. Need to adjust the location of the text thou. #academicsky

you know I’m not really the most active person in the world. These recent few weeks have really been getting me out of my comfort zone. I’m starting to go ahead and see those facts right now and a very nice and positive way.

I am looking forward to continuing this, even after this semester

I will never not love a monologue by Brennan Lee Mulligan

AI is not perfect, but it does have some impressive outputs in many cases. So what if the students take on a more critical role?

This is not a solution, but more of an idea of how I would approach it. This, however, may not be appropriate for your course. #AcademicSky

What if you had AI "do it first" and then have the students evaluate that response to what they noticed in the reading?

In a way, you are having AI do the original assignment, but the student will then be looking for what is missing, where it was off base. Where did AI fail? Did AI do a great job?

I am still refining my methodology for AI use, and while my field is different, I do have a suggestion.

I am going to make some assumptions that may not relate to your course, but if you have students evaluate a work or some literature. #AcademicSky

What a fun idea!

Ok, I am having fun making these

Some with transparent backgrounds and some with White backgrounds

And the Images I decided to use.

I like the idea of this movement. Will it go anywhere? I am not sure, but I do like the idea of it.

Council kills data center plans in Tucson at raucous meeting The city's role in the proposed Project Blue data-centers complex came to a quick end Wednesday when the city council agreed to end negotiations with developers.

Tucson’s rejection of Project Blue shows how local communities can influence tech infrastructure decisions.

It’s a live case study in balancing economic promise with environmental, ethical, and civic values.

Yesterday, the National Bank of Canada faced a multi-hour outage impacting online and mobile banking.

While not caused by a cyberattack, incidents like this highlight the fragility of the digital systems we depend on.
