Close friend of mine is looking to find a new role. 4 years experience in SOC/IRT and he has a wide variety of experience in this area. He’s based in Ireland. I can personally vouch for him. If anyone has a role in mind for him I’d be very thankful! 😊 Please RT.

One of you AI companies better buy us next or I'm going to make a bunch of breaking changes and invalidate all of the code you generate.

I started listening to the @AcquiredFM podcast a while ago because @infosec_au said somewhere that he listens to it and WOW is it a good podcast. Really long episodes but I've learned a ton. Highly recommended. Would be nice to see Assetnote on it someday.

I’m going to master my split keyboard the old fashioned way and spam monkeytype exercises until I can type fast. Some things in life just require bruteforce and muscle memory

I've been trying and failing to find a good Speech-to-text system for Linux. @WisprFlow isn't available on Linux so I can't use that, but looking for alternatives. Suggestions welcome.

I'm strongly considering taking a sabbatical from bug bounty and pentesting in December to focus solely on building up my startup project. I'll be announcing it pretty soon (in the next ~2 weeks). Also: pretty soon I'll publish some of the most creative, insane AI exfiltration

You can extrapolate this out to hacking as well. You don’t need a fancy machine to hack. You just need curiosity. You don’t need Burp Pro to find bugs.

"Thus, I find it spurious to hear developers evaluate their next computer on the prospect of how well it's capable of running local models. Because they all suck! Whether one sucks a little less than the other doesn't really matter."

Have big project like LHE -> finish big project -> "oh I have free time again" -> give myself too much work to do -> die inside -> burn out and take a break for a week -> start big project because I get bored of doing nothing -> repeat

I moved into my new apartment today, which was great, and one of my cats stepped in his own poop and left a poop trail around the new apartment, which was not great
