@tqbf note to self: do not call protocol "secure"

@hikari ah, I remember one of the Mozilla blog posts about XUL and WebExtensions, where they talked about how they ported some internal functions from JavaScript to C and then some big extensions broke because they were patching those functions by stringifying and regexing them...

i had a whimsical idea for a gpu compute library, a few years ago: true single-source programming in c, without changing your build flow. you'd just pass the function pointer to the run_on_gpu() function and it'd work even though it shouldn't. how? parsing x86 assembly at runtime

i love that you can call toString() on a function in JS and get back its source code. it's not something you should do, but there are so many wonderfully silly applications for it. i love this shit

make friendships with people who can see the light in you, who can find the angles from which you can sparkle together. seek out those positive reinforcement loops. there's so much of yourself you don't know you have

there's so much love and joy out there, waiting to be found

Weird question: Does anyone know where I can find the "original" Twitter egg avatar images? I can find some pretty high quality versions but I'm wondering if the files Twitter actually served were archived.

There's just a lot of people on here today saying "give facebook a chance" who do not seem to want to talk about what facebook does with the chances it's given.

well my direct manager has scheduled a meeting with my team later today about a return to office plan, so I guess it's time to make a #fedihired post again

I've got a few years of DFIR consulting experience at my previous job with a big 4, I have a few years in this role as a CSOC IR Lead at a large (10K+ employees) company, I have my GREM certification, and I'm Canadian and live in Canada and want to continue to work from Canada (just remote). I've got some devops experience with my personal projects (like my twitch bots and this Mastodon instance) and I am not a programmer but I can program in... a few languages (I like Rust a lot, but also Python, and C#, and I'd love to learn Go or Zig or something). I'm also pretty happy to just sit down with Excel and a plaso timeline and scroll through it to find evil.

If you've got any leads or connections to a full time remote-only job in or adjacent to security that could use my skills, please hit me up--my DMs should be open, as should my email (demize[@]unstable.systems, though I'll use a different one in your HR system). Just make sure it's open to Canadians!

Gonna bump my #fedihired post again. I’m now much more urgently looking to move on from my current job, and would appreciate any leads (either Toronto-based or remote and willing to hire Canadians. Might be open to relocation if necessary.)

people bragging about how many hours they work smh
