I'm in a deep funk right now. Can't move. Just staring at the wall. (Using the fediverse to post a diary note and then going back into depression naps). I'm not going to accomplish any of the plans I set out to do today.

But I can work on some of them tomorrow maybe.

My hydroponics can be neglected and still be okay. I'll build just a tiny bit more tomorrow which will add to the whole.

It'll be fine. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

If you're in biz dev and are looking for a foot in the door, send me a Christmas card once a year. At least I won't hate you for your cold calls.

@micahflee I pre-ordered your book while hanging at the airport. Chapter 1 was phenomenal for people interested in basic security, even without the focus on data leaks.

I look forward to the rest.

More than once I've needed some information from an API for a Powershell script. Below is some of the code I use.

$headers=@{}
$headers.Add("Accept", "application/json")
$headers.Add("X-ApiKeys", $APIKey)
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$YourURIHere/" -Method GET -Headers $headers
$response = $response.Content | ConvertFrom-Json

there seems to be a miscommunication over whether to push to prod on a friday or not.

Let me be clear, my stance is: push to prod and let the machine god sort it out, then power off your phone.

I’m low key incredibly-incredibly nervous about teaching my first SANS class this week, even though I speak all over the world, do Toastmasters, have taught weekly for the past decade, and do the subject matter as a principal, daily. I sincerely hope I don’t fuck it up. I’m going to see RuPaul after the class in case I do, though.

I’ve never worked a job where I have to wake up at a specific time and I’ve always wondered if it’s professionally acceptable to just be honest and tell someone their 9am meeting suggestion is too early. Currently I just tell everyone my schedule is book every day until 10 am (which is technically true because I have 2am - 9am scheduled for sleeping and 9am - 10am scheduled for drinking coffee and processing being alive).

Had a text from a young man today I've known for almost 10 years. At 15, he became a father and almost dropped out. He is raising his 2 kids with the help of his family. He's always held work, but bounced from job to job. Today at 23, he made the dean's list at the local community college and is adding a business associates degree to go with his welding certifications.

Do you route your internal traffic through your firewall rules and policies?

If not, you are assuming a LOT of things about a LOT of things :)

Brains are weird things. Out of nowhere I thought I should see if there's any updates on DDOS Secrets and see how their ongoing funding challenges are going. Also I should buy some merch to help support the cause and cuz that would be sweet to wear to DEF CON.

Conspiracy Theory: The Mastodon-Fediverse Conspiracy to Sell .social Domain Names

In the depths of the internet lies a sinister conspiracy involving the creation of the Mastodon social network and the broader Fediverse platform. This conspiracy theorizes that the sole purpose behind their development was to drive up the demand and sales of the .social domain names. While it may sound far-fetched, let's dive into the details of this intricate web of deception.

1. The Mysterious Origins:
   The story begins with the development of Mastodon, an open-source social networking platform that gained popularity due to its decentralized nature. This decentralized structure allowed users to create their own instances, leading to the birth of a vast network called the Fediverse. However, what seemed like a noble endeavor to offer an alternative to mainstream social media platforms may have had a hidden agenda all along.
2. The Domain Name Ploy:
   It is widely known that domain names hold tremendous value in the online world. Entrepreneurs and businesses are always on the lookout for catchy and memorable domain names to enhance their online presence. The creators of Mastodon and the masterminds behind the Fediverse allegedly realized that by fueling the demand for .social domain names, they could generate substantial profits.
3. Influencing the Masses:
   To make their plan work, the conspirators devised an elaborate strategy. First, they strategically designed Mastodon and the Fediverse to provide a seamless integration with the .social domain extension. They knew that if they could convince users of the platform's benefits and lure them into creating instances with .social domains, they could slowly build up the demand.
4. Hidden Marketing Tactics:
   Unbeknownst to the average user, the creators allegedly employed subtle marketing tactics to further their agenda. They strategically spread rumors and popularized conspiracy theories about established social media platforms, claiming that these platforms actively suppressed user freedom and privacy. This disinformation campaign was aimed at pushing more people toward the Mastodon-Fediverse ecosystem, where .social domain names would be in high demand.
5. Collusion with Domain Registrars:
   To maximize their profits, the conspirators may have colluded with domain registrars. By ensuring a limited supply of .social domain names while simultaneously driving up the demand, they could create a sellers' market. This collaboration might have involved exclusive deals, secret partnerships, or even financial incentives to ensure that the domain registrars were on board with the plan.
6. The Final Reveal:
   Once the demand for .social domain names soared, the conspirators would have swooped in, releasing a flood of these domain names onto the market. By leveraging the scarcity and the perceived exclusivity, they would have inflated the prices, reaping substantial profits from the unsuspecting buyers who fell victim to their ploy.

Conclusion:
While this conspiracy theory alleges a dark motive behind the creation of Mastodon and the Fediverse, it is important to note that it is purely speculative and lacks substantial evidence. It is essential to approach such theories with skepticism and to rely on verified information. Nonetheless, it serves as a reminder to critically analyze the motivations and hidden agendas that may exist within the digital realm.
