Buddy Bear Security

At least everyone is flagging “expect cyber attacks” - and if the news is anything to go by for predictions 👀 uh, this ain’t looking good.

This is basically the history of YOLO tech and probably not enough diversity to go “wait a goddamned minute” - but that’s my bias

A picture of the book “We Are All Targets” with a set of page flags with bunnies and flower on a grey fuzzy pillow.

My version of a relaxing Sunday read - along with cute spring themed page flags 😍

Fountain pens and stamps have become my silly joy of analog / offline processes

There is some sort of 2026ness
that Women's Day is only 23 hours long this year

8 Badass Librarians We Need to Celebrate This International Women’s Day In the late Victorian era, Melvil Dewey, inventor of the Dewey Decimal system (and a womanizer) argued that women make excellent librarians because we have “a clear head, strong hand… and great hea…

Another wonderful article by Jess DeCourcy Hinds and I am happy to see so many librarians that I’m honored to know, being recognized!

Please don’t spread misinformation. Tomahawks fly at low altitude. It’s climbing like a THAAD interceptor (we are out of interceptors).

At what point can we just start having these reference other attacks and go “yeah you’re in it, but like, already fucked anyways so no harm done?” 👀 Looking at you, NS Power…

👀 I’m more hoping we take the “you started this, bud” sideline

The one where elections are cancelled

“This would be a war crime” - yeah, on brand really

It’s only a bad decision if the goose isn’t silly (but even then, serious goose sounds like a good one too!)

I locked myself into a library for 5 hours today and it was glorious.

Cute little floaty death bear <3

"For the love of security and teddy bears... please patch before the CVE drops. Buddy Bear SECURITY" A cute, smiling, brown teddy bear wrapped in a blanket and a warm cup of hot chocolate on the floor in front of a green laptop on a green pillow looking towards the viewer. A small plant on the left, and a small light, book, and duck on the right. The words are below, with "Buddy Bear SECURITY" in a banner. The banner has the bear's head on the left, and a padlock on the right. The duck is the homage to "rubber ducky programming" where you literally talk to a rubber duck to debug software.

I've been working on a side project (beyond going to uni) around #cybersecurity advice that takes the idea of debugging security with a teddy bear to a more literal level. The duck is the homage to the rubber ducky programming where you literally tell the duck how the software works to debug it.

Jeeves and Wooster series, then watch the Masterpiece Theatre version

Yeah I saw the Siamese below!

Squishy fidget friends are the best! 😍 best of luck to the students!

We can already shoot space stuff from Earth 🤨

I’d like to know the RMA process for components being hit by tiny space shards going at high velocity.

Two Bluesky posts: 1. Kenwhite’s post about ProPublica journalists being next for arrest. 2. ProPublica’s post of their article identifying two CBP agents involved with Alex Pretti shooting

The algorithm gods were pleased today.

It’s been one of the weirdest weeks of my career. Looking at a neat hobby (clawdbot creation) turned into security issues (my attention space, needing a 3xrename is nuts) turned into checking in on moltbook and “what could possibly go wrong?” with exponential growth, content, and humans 🔥

Focusing on tactics that, //checks notes, are the alleged reason they have funding.

And Canadians trying to do parental rights like the US get caught in this annoying thing… we don’t have parental rights. We have child rights.

“It’s what we do” - well, good confirmation that they need to be reminded to be legal, ethical and moral because they’re on camera.

A cute colouring books with cats in a yoga studio partially coloured using watercolour paints

Today’s anarchy is using watercolour paints in what my brain as deemed a “markers only” colouring book. I’m reminded of how much more I enjoy paints over markers.

And, like, enter Canada and be assholes in the wrong country

No, I was suggesting that I don’t trust ICE to read a map.

Mostly plowed dedicated bike lane surrounded by snow. Picture is of a downtown scene at sunrise

Not going to lie, I’m actually surprised the #Halifax bike lane is mostly plowed on South Park st. #bikeHFX

QR codes: the tech I wish also wasn’t a security nightmare because QR code logins are awesome.

I’m so happy to hear that your kids don’t trust QR codes in the wild!! 😍
