I’m writing this post after needing to step away from a heated debate I was having earlier on Mastodon. I’m not going to repeat it all verbatim, but the gist was that new numbers are in. While user accounts have surged, thanks to Musk, a million or so have no activity – meaning either they […]

Something interesting came across my Mastodon feed. It was about bringing back blogging. You can find more information here: https://bringback.blog. I absolutely love this idea! We definitely need to bring back blogs now that Musk has helped stick a nail in the Web 2.0 coffin. Web 2.5 is still social but it brings ownership back

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and that means it’s time to do my annual reflections of the year and look forward to the next year. 2022 was definitely an interesting year for sure. I’ve already done this from a company point of view so it’s time to do it from my own personal point of view.
You may remember Unity as being Ubutnu’s primary desktop environment from 11.04 until 17.04. It was a pretty great environment and one that I still miss greatly. Mostly because I primarily compute on a Mac and Unity was very Mac-like. Especially with the app menus in the top. I like that a lot. But did

I’ll be honest – I’ve never liked Musk. I thought he was overrated back in 2012, I think he’s even more overrated now. Even more so, his ridiculous cult following is made up of people who think if they worship the ground he walks on, he’ll bless them with self-driving. His rockets are also nothing

A few days ago, NodeSpace offered this interesting challenge on Twitter: So here I am, putting my money where my mouth is and taking this challenge. I’m not even an hour in and the results are… interesting. A little surprising, but definitely interesting. Going all in on IPv6 For this challenge, I setup a separate

Hey IPv6 nerds: this blog post is a simplification of SLAAC, RA, NDP, and EUI-64 to help the IPv6 learners and IPv6 deniers begin to understand IPv6. Don’t get all smart-assy because it turns people away from learning. Remember, this was once a new and strange concept to you too! Plus, the more people we

Earlier I posted a very hot take on ethics and infosec. I enjoy debates on ethics because it really applies critical thinking skills. Here’s my hot take on it: Ethics are 100% off the table when conducting a pentest. I was met with a rebuttal about if an employee sues because of it. Here’s my

This site has always been about experiments. I’m taking things a little bit further by doing a really radical experiment. Just like my main blog (which contents have been imported into this one), this blog is hosted on a VM on a Proxmox hypervisor in my colo. Only this server is a bit different. While

Staying organized can be a bit of a hassle for me. Some people find it easy, I do not. As I have started doing more software development, I’ve launched my own bug tracker running MantisBT. Mantis is probably one of the OG bug trackers since it dates back to 2000 and I’ve known of it
