Hey, my first byline since disability leave is up at Dark Reading! It's about the hiring gap in cybersecurity and where it comes from. Big thanks to @Xavier and @hexamander for helping me with the research. It ended up being pretty involved, but with help from my boss, it found focus. #DarkReading #journalism #TheEdge #HiringGap #JobMarket #SelfPromotion https://www.darkreading.com/cybersecurity-operations/hiring-gap-not-talent-gap

@TheBreadmonkey I wish I could remember who pointed out that The Lady Catherine looks just like Anya Taylor Joy.

@BethanyBlack Ohhhh, this is where i know you from! I follow you on tiktok, but I couldn't remember why. (I follow hardly anyone - not even my niece.) Glad I do, since it's nice to have a reliably funny account in my algorithm.

The makers of Royal Match definitely overestimate how motivated I am to rescue a king. #LizziesInABox

@BethanyBlack Oooh, will try. I love those things.

@BethanyBlack Drop the link!

@WanderingTaoist @jeffowski Violence against rapists, which is what this is about, is always good and worthy of jokes.

Moments before disaster. Still happy and mutual grooming right now, but Nibbler always presses his luck. #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #Nibbler #TheLadyCatherine

Can you imagine how Gary Hart, who lost his entire political career due to a consensual affair with an adult, must feel watching a rapist conman becoming the presumptive nominee for president? (Not that we haven't had rapists and conmen as president before, but this is on the record.) #USPol

I want to be at that picnic. https://lile.cl/@capibarabot/111731028984207470

@ryanc She seems like a truly terrible person. Imagine saying garbage like that and then carrying on about predators.

The cats are competing for my affection. #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #Nibbler #TheLadyCatherine

@ryanc OK, I have actually done this (with a t-shirt under another t-shirt, but the same principle applies). First get rid of the straps by unclipping them or by Flashdancing them down. Now you have made a tube you can wiggle out of. Here's how.

1. Pull bra away from ribs at the left side, using your right hand.
2. Pull your left arm inside your shirt.
3. Wedge your left elbow into and through the bra tube.
4. Pull the bra tube over your left arm so that the bra is now hiked up on your shoulder.
5. Put your left arm back out of the left sleeve.
6. Repeat the process (steps 1-5) for the others side.
7. The bra tube is now around your neck, and you should be able to pull it over your head.

Hey, I'm stuck in California for the most wonderful time of the year. Can y'all share wintry photos as your snow comes in, maybe under #frostodon ?

Tried to find a photo that showed why the park down the street from me, through which I walked to high school, is still among the most beautiful places I've been, and found this article. It's impossible to get a photo of it, but an autumn night in Mine Falls Park, when the trees are full of fireflies, is ineffably perfect. https://nothingbutnewengland.com/why-mine-falls-park-is-perfect-year-round/

When I was growing up, the discarded shopping carts poked up out of the water, and the river barely moved. Last time I made it out there, it was clean like this, and so beautiful. That forest has been protected since the founding of the town, maybe before. It's really a stunning oasis of old-growth in an increasingly bustling small city. Nashua isn't my home anymore, but it's a great place to set down roots. (I think. I don't know how wild politics have gotten there.)

@diffractie @FrazzledBrynn Are you sure?

@ryanc Oh MAN, those look like monster mittens! Love it.

Hey folks, do any of you use a "secure smartphone"? I'm planning a writeup - and to get my son a Fairphone 4 with /e/OS - and I'm hoping to get some actual users' input. I expect that I'll concentrate on custom OSs, although I may mention some of the more secure Android and iOS models. I know I saw someone pondering a Librem a while back. Thanks! #SecureSmartphone #cybersecurity #Fairphone #Librem #AlternativePhones

My mom is visiting, and she got to meet the crows. Right now she's outside with what's left of the nuts, probably making squirrel friends. It's a good day!
