I think the Chris Krebs situation really underscores that the "infosec industry" and the "infosec community" are very different things.

@blaise I think too many people view their support of a political party like they support a sports team - anything they do is good and right, unfair calls that support their team are just fine, and any call against their team is evidence of bias and is unfair, and there's a weird sense of pride when their team is "winning", even if that winning hurts them.

Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug.

@mttaggart I know people are down on cloudflare, but for the reasons described in another thread, it's becoming almost untenable to run a public site that isn't behind a CDN, and sadly cloudflare's price is right for most people, as opposed to Akamai and Fastly, which can get crazy expensive very fast

I have a (bad) sinus infection right now and a dentist appointment later today. I am going to see if they’ll let me use that sucker straw to clean out my sinuses

We’re about to find out what happens when China stops buying US bonds. Somehow, I don’t think this was factored into the equation.

I decided to treat myself to McDonalds for lunch after my stock market wins, and well… Crowdstrike got there first it seems.

I am hearing 90 tariff pause

Wow. Something just happened in the stock market.

If Nicole isn’t the cure for open fediverse account registrations, I don’t know what is….

@jeff true, though we do also have the flood of bikinibots that hit mastodon.social now and then

@GossiTheDog well that is interesting because it means the article I linked is incorrect.

Perhaps the best part of Booker breaking the filibuster record is that he was talking about John Lewis as he broke it. For those that don’t know, the previous record was held by Strom Thermond set in 1957 when he was trying to derail the civil rights act.
