mastodon 4.8.0-alpha.3+glitchI'm a UNIX and Security Admin (#DFIR and #BlueTeam), lifelong A's baseball fan, and I enjoy opera and early music. I sing, dance, and act, read voraciously, and plan to keep learning new things for as long as I can. @UnixGeekEm on Twitter. She/her. #BlackLivesMatter #TransRightsAreHumanRights
I have met two kinds of French people this trip:
There have been many more of the first group than the second so far. It helps that my teachers taught me a Parisian accent, back in the day.
Do you like security and also music?

I have had a confirmation that it can work on the Amazon Linux kernel, but also RHEL says "fix deferred" for all affected RHEL versions: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-31431
Bruce Schneier is making a fascinating point about personal trust (trusting your friends) and social trust (trusting a random person will behave in a predictable way) at the SANS AI Summit.
They are not the same but they're still both called "trust".
Yes hello, I am "dump the loose-leaf tea into the mug instead of the strainer" levels of tired today.
Months ago I saw a gorgeous painting by @TishaPaints@mastodon.art and I fell in love with it. I told myself I would use it as a motivation to finish the computer security class I was taking, and then pass the certification exam. Last night I passed the exam, and tonight I got to buy the painting.
There are a bunch of others at https://tishamark.com/shop if seascapes appeal to you as well.

You know you've been in IT for too long when you see this gorgeous photo of a building in the winter and look at the pattern of the windows and think "what kind of router is this?"
Today I am "I forget how long I left my tea steeping" levels of tired.
I feel seen
You know it's going to be a long day when you're already refilling the hot water boiler for the Nth cup of tea of the day and it's only 8:30am.
Isn't it funny how in novels and fanfics the protagonist, no matter their age, likes music (and other media) that was popular when the author was a teenager?
For AI, we can't treat it like a friend. No toxic anthropomorphism.
The #OaklandRoots soccer team is playing at the Oakland Coliseum tonight.
That rusting decaying pile of concrete is where I truly learned to love sports. My #baseball team is gone from there now (asshole team owner John Fisher wanted more $$), but it's lovely to see the stadium in use.
That "Let's Go Oakland" chant ringing in the stands is making me feel things, let me tell you.
Today I wrote a sentence in German in a professional email, and only used a translation tool to confirm I had a word or two correct. I hope it didn't have too many mistakes in it that didn't occur to me.
