Warez MB Been? But Exciting News!

I was doing a 30 day paint thing with a friend and posting more privately so apologies for the gap. The last few days though I’ve had a little interruption – as two new kittens have arrived. Shout ou[…]

Wow, we're running hot! Looks like we've hit the outer limits of what our current @mastohost plan covers. I'll get us upgraded ASAP, please excuse any dust until that's resolved.

If you feel so inclined to toss a few coins my way to defray server coats, let me know.

DeepSec Twitter Account is schedule for Deletion
A passive stance to IT security doesn't always work. The same is true for "social" media. The DeepSec Twitter account is scheduled for deletion. We have saved all tweets and will publish them as an archive. Meanwhile you can follow updates from DeepSec and DeepINTEL on Mastodon, our blog, or our LinkedI

No more automatic Updates for our Twitter Account
There will be no more automatic updates on our Twitter account. The synchronisation between our blog and Twitter has been deactivated. The reason is the erratic course Twitter is on. All social media platform benefit from their users and the content that these platforms receive free of charge. We do not

#administrivia We're now running Mastodon 4.1. Woot.

Please let me know if you see any issues.

Call for Papers Preparations, Social Media, and other Updates
Our traditional Winter break has been a bit longer than anticipated. We are working on the call for papers for DeepSec and DeepINTEL 2023 (14 to 17 November 2023). The location has not changed, so we can focus on the content of the conferences. This is a good time to c

Point: multitasking is a myth. You cannot simultaneously pay attention to this mandatory security training video while processing your email with the care and attention it deserves.

Counterpoint: multitasking is real. Letting this mandatory security training video play in the background still results in full credit for watching it, while you simultaneously crank through a whole bunch of email.

I think this was my first movie quiz here: https://triangletoot.party/@jhv/109355415421821015

The list I keep of these says I've done 181; errors, inaccuracies, & edge cases make the count approximate. Most were on Twitter (should go back & figure out when I started doing them here). Was doing them in both places for a while, but that got to be too much work. I rarely duplicate a movie, but it does happen. And when I'm feeling crazy, I'll do theme arcs, but it's not like I note those to anyone but myself. #WrongAnswersOnly #administrivia (h/t @clementix for the excellent neologism).

#administrivia FYI, folks - if you're having trouble uploading media, it's not you, it's us/OVH.

Just signed a photo release form for an event that will be held in late January. The form asked me what I will wear.

Couldn't resist answering "clothes, probably." If the form recipient wanted something more specific than this, they asked the wrong person.

And now I need to explain to a prospective #employer that I am in no way a "#stack" developer. I do #engineering #support, like #automation, #data_driven #configuration, #self_healing #error #detection, and #self_service #administrivia. Things that make it easier for the #application and #stack developers to do *their* jobs.

Still not sure why my blog's link to this mastodon account with a `rel=me` attribute hasn't yet verified the link in my profile.

#Mastodon #administrivia

#administrivia I'm seeing successful media uploads, and fewer 500 errors.

Looks like the immediate issue is done, but we've still got some growing pains.

#administrivia UFSP is being migrated to a new server, please expect some downtime (up to ~30 minutes).

#administrivia

We're seeing timeouts and 500 errors popping up, and media upload seems to be broken at the moment. I've reached out to @mastohost for more information, and my hope is to restore full functionality ASAP.

We may just be outgrowing the starter instance we're currently running on. 😹 ( #goodproblems ?)
