I’m stuck. I need to level up in my career. I’m not getting any experience in my current role. Every time I try and set goals for myself, I’m paralyzed by half the industry saying do this, while the other half says to do that. I need a mentor. Or just to be pointed in the right direction. #infosec

The vibes are off today.

I predict a Cloudflare or AWS outage. Or something. It’s in the air.

Had a lot of stuff going on the last few months, but seeing all the #DEFCON posts and the FOMO have been a great motivator.

I’m going to start being more active here, getting more involved, with a goal of attending my first DEFCON as a security professional next year.

Let’s get to work!

Brother in law had a seemingly failing external HDD back at Thanksgiving. Finally got it to mount and told him to buy an SSD ASAP to transfer everything over. He had EVERYTHING on this drive.
6 months later, he’s texting me telling me it won’t recognize the drive and when it does, it appears empty

Donate to Help Us Seek Justice for a 5-Year-Old Facing Racial Hate, organized by Rochester Branch NAACP On April 30, 2025, in a City of Rochester public park, a whit… Rochester Branch NAACP needs your support for Help Us Seek Justice for a 5-Year-Old Facing Racial Hate

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word.

The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis.

Donate here:

Got promoted to Tier 3 Service Desk Analyst today! That’s two promotions in under 2 years!

Also, our Senior Director wants to put me on a Career Development Plan to help me reach my goals in security.

Pretty solid Thursday

Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History
Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History YouTube video by Senator Chris Murphy

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!!

This would be massive. I honestly don’t see how Trump could spin this to his base to blame Biden.

Is there a reason why we’re still using Amazon? Is it not just needlessly making Bezos richer?

Genuinely asking and if I’m missing something please let me know. But it seems like most things can either be bought locally/from the manufacturer/another website? Is it strictly convenience?

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action.

Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:

I think about this every time I see good content appealing to the Right with facts and common sense, hoping it reaches the right audience and makes an impact. Hope is quickly dashed by the realization that the facts and the logic will never break through, regardless of the volume/exposure
