@archon@infosec.exchange

Greetings fellow sentient being! I'm an #InfoSec generalist living in the US working as a #Security Engineer dealing with both back-end infra and client devices. I talk about infosec, #politics, bad jokes, memes, and life. Usually without a CW since they're so intertwined.

Because I can't stick to one domain, I'm also a #software developer and #Linux and #OpenBSD #sysadmin. Having done all of these for the last ~15 years, I'm eminently qualified to talk about how I've gotten it wrong over the years. And maybe a bit about what I've seen other people do.

#TransRights are human rights. #BlackLivesMatter. SWERFs, TERFs, fascists, and similar filth need not apply.

More: #Introvert, #ChaoticGood, #ActuallyAutistic, #ADHD, #AuDHD. #EncryptThenMAC.

Posts are all mine, even if they're terrible, don't blame my employer.

Right to reserve rights is reserved. Lefts are unreserved. All wrongs kept on retainer.

Boost is not necessarily an endorsement. Unless it's a #fox picture.

Good heavens - fediblock fever has taken hold of lemmy instances - apparently Infosec.pub doesn’t block all the right instances and that is being attributed to malice

@jerry I've only been online since the days of Usenet and IRC and BBS, so maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't the whole point of the federated network that you can choose the instance based on your own personal preferences, and we avoid a bubble by not enforcing one set of views on the entire distributed network?

Like, say, I dunno, everyone preemptively blocking Meta's Threads before they're even federating when half the reasons for doing so don't make any sense despite the company giving no shortage of legitimate concerns?
