Hi all, it's time to take the plunge. I'm looking for one of a few different roles.

1) Penetration tester (or similar offensive security engagements)
I currently lead the application security program for a billion-dollar organization. My experience includes independent research that led to the discovery of dozens of vulnerabilities in more than 20 court and other government platforms. See: https://govtech.cc/

2) Senior software developer
I've been doing development in a lot of different languages, from C to JavaScript/TypeScript, frontend and backend, for 25 years. Before moving to cybersecurity in 2024, I worked on telephony platforms that used Asterisk, Kamailio, and other software. I also briefly led the FreePBX project.

What's the point of rewriting coreutils in Rust? Surely losing 30+ years of lessons (bugs and, more importantly, security vulns) isn't better than adding some memory safety? I get that it'll prevent some classes of future bugs, but many of those same lessons will need to be learned again.

@dansup @Floppy It's funnier (to me) this way. I break *so much stuff* with it, particularly when using it as an email address. Also, as of last night, I own ʕᴖᴥᴖʔ.com.

Maybe I should just throw a bunch of #fediverse platforms on it. I'll make you the same offer I've made others - if you'd like a subdomain on any of these (see profile) to test with, I'd be happy to provide one. I'm fairly passionate about them, so seeing improvements where they can be made makes me quite happy.

With 3d printing, why does the bed move, and not the nozzle? It seems like that would be more reliable.

(I know that there are some that do it the other way)

@Fragglemuppet with cheese is a thing?

@Fragglemuppet hard to go wrong with mashed potatoes on top of meatstuffs

So like, are they just going to check if the moon is still there, or...

Browser extension idea. Any time you go to access a URL with utm_source, it replaces it with utm_source=fediverse.

Feel free to steal that and make it real.

I so badly want to see this site to take off.

If you're #ActuallyAutistic, you know just how much of a problem these things can be. For me personally, having the information about lighting and how to get service in advance would be a huge help.

@soatok I'm going to start doing this as well.

We've gotten to "Hot Pockets no longer include a crisper sleeve" levels of inflation.

I'm going to start using %2e%2e%2f@example.com as a fake email address.

How feasible would it be to have something like a job board app that runs on the fediverse¹? I know about the hashtags that are currently being used, but that's pretty ephemeral. Much or maybe all of the necessary functionality is already there, no?

¹ because fuck LinkedIn and all the rest

You can't just say "we are experiencing a higher than normal call volume" when it's the same volume every day. That *is* the normal call volume.

Change of pressure? From 40ft?

What people don't know is that this monster is made entirely out of hands.

I'd like to address the allegations...

There haven't been any though, so feel free to reply with your grievances.

Who should one talk to if they wanted to become mummified upon death?

You okay there Confluence?

Happy last hour of democracy, for those who once celebrated.
