Earlier this year I said I was going to give a conference talk. I don’t know if this counts but in 30 minutes I am giving a 4 hour introduction to networking at the Westetn Energy Institute’s Hands on Relay Schoo

Last morning in Miami Beach after #S4x26. Good time as always - learned a few things, enjoyed the sunshine, reminded once again that I am almost always the dumbest person in the room (that's a good thing that means smart people are working on these issues)
Day 1 of @S4x26
Monitoring a SONET class, I leaned a lot of this stuff like 30 years ago when SONET released but man I have forgotten a lot. DS1s and DS3s have too much math and make my head hurt
This now worries me as you are among the most normal of the infosec people I follow. Does that mean everyone in infosec needs a whack in the skull?
this made me think about all the people who wish they could have the confidence of a mediocre white male www.youtube.com/shorts/FVghp... i don't know if its a good plan for life or not but its a plan
everyone who knows me knows i am a fat tub of shit, but today i broke below the 30% Body fat mark for the first time in years.

Normally I am ok being a nobody but sometimes you really need an email answered and even with an important flag you just just don’t rate and that sucks. #minionlife #nobodycares 😢😀
Who care about @elonmusk making a trillion dollars this is what's really important www.msn.com/en-us/news/c... "accused of decapitating the father of her children began Wednesday as her attorney pointed to another suspect, her stepson, whom she later married."

Going thru some old documents found an old cybersecurity skills matrix from 2019 and used AI to update it. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

I swear to god whoever came up with @Cisco ‘s licensing portal should be beaten to death with a bag full of of bricks. Then they might feel 1% of my pain
i'm not doing Defcon 34 (I know that breaks everyone's heart) so I am looking for something else in that general time frame considering @SummerC0n , @BlueTeamCon or @CybrSecCon depending on where i can meet up with friends. other recommendations?
i couldn't find specifics but according to chatgpt this is what they usually bring to shows/cons - Omada gateways (e.g., ER605 or ER7206) paired with a small JetStream/Omada PoE switch (e.g., TL-SG2008P/TL-SG2210P) and Omada EAP Wi-Fi 6 APs—but to be clear, that’s an inference, not confirmed.
They had some sort of bug bounty going at ICS Village maybe you could find those models and start there.
So we finished our first official transport networking class today. 8 people for 32 hours as we tried to teach an entirely new technology stack. The class went ok but we barely scratched the surface.
So this morning I woke up to a tweet notification from someone I follow that started "feel free to mute me" and I am like, WTF stupid thing did I say now", turns out nothing this time. They were just trolling generally.
semi productive day. got some studying done. (working on my CCNP Enterprise Infrastructure and my Information Systems Security Engineering Professional exams) and made chili and peanut butter and chocolate protein oatmeal so I have breakfast and dinner for the week. Yay me.
I had to go to the Dr. on Friday and while I was there I had some labs drawn. My lipids profile came back completely within the normal range. 1st time in years. A1C was 5.2 well within normal also.
just when you thought airlines couldn't get worse @Delta raises the bar www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXYE...
I'm gonna be upfront here, I am a cultural Mormon (not religious but...) if you are a friend or follower don't show up in my thread with F the Mormons or Mormons aren't Christians or Mormons killed Charlie Kirk, I will block you in a heartbeat.

Got my ticket and hotel for #S4x26 now I am just waiting for tickets for @BSidesICS to go up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwBS... #infosec #cybersecurity #ICS
Spending the evening studying Nokia Service Routing, almost like a real networking professional
you don't is a valid answer :-) but satisfy my curiosity
You know for the last 7 years whenever I have been at a con where @beerisac.bsky.social is active I have tried to go to the meetups and I have never bothered to ask, how do you get a coin? So since #S4x26 tickets are going on sale in a couple weeks this year I am gonna ask, how do you get a coin?
