Hacker. Hopeless romantic. Ginger.

Extrovert that's interested in your passions, joys, and sorrows.

I work as a multi-scope contract mid-level pentester. Previously held senior-level roles as a sysadmin, developer, and DBA.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

I purchased and setup deadbeefmonster.com - redirects to deadbeef.monster, just in case a human gets it mixed up. Perhaps overkill, but hey, I am gonna be somebody!

I created accounts on this instance before, think as both 'deadbeef' and 'deadbeefmonster' and even though they're deleted, I still couldn't use them. So, this third account here, 'deadbeefthemonster' was made.

@jerry is it possible to change my account to 'deadbeefmonster'? I don't know how this all works, if it just isn't possible, is too much a PITA, or a simple SQL update. Federated based on username I assume is the blocker?

@deadbeefthemonster@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry OK - thanks. I can't migrate to the 'deadbeef' or 'deadbeefmonster' ones because I had them but deleted them but they still exist in that I can't sign up with them.

Wish I could go back to when I thought I was an introvert. It was much easier to enjoy doing things on my own/alone then.

Now I crave social interaction all the time.

For history, I had mental health blockers that made me think I was an introvert, but once I solved them my natural extrovertness shined bright and clear.

sorry @jerry - had a bug in my code when searching for new accounts and it spammed search for all of them at once instead of paging :| I couldnt' kill it cause firefox tabs kept opening and couldn't get back to the terminal.

@jerry I did get too many requests error, so that's nice :)

Welcome to the new Infosec.exchange members joining from Reddit. No, we are not Twitter/X, yes we talk about more than just Infosec. If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask.

@jerry Welcome folks! I'll converse with you about hacking and overall general geek stuff. Been around the block with BSD and Linux since the 90s and have done some dope things before switching to pentesting.

Elon charging for Twitter would just drive folks ultimately to BlueSky and not here so much.

Hell, look at all the people that made accounts here that are simply abandoned.

BlueSky is just Twitter version 2 and no one on that platform cares in the same way we do.

What's an underrated ?

@deadbeefthemonster@infosec.exchange avatar

No one wants to hear it but I'm sick of being ill. In the last month I had COVID, food poisoning, and now this sinus infection.

When I get to feeling good and out of the woods and making plans I get knocked on my butt again.

As someone that typically sleeps ~6 hours a night (my normal sleep since I was a kid), I've been sleeping over 12 the past month, usually closer to 16+.

I know it isn't the end of the world and I'm not like on death's door or anything, but it is frustrating.

Does anyone actually follow the federated timeline raw?

deadbeefthemonster,

@jerry indeed. I can barely keep up with infosec.exchange local, everything else is following hashtags.

The struggle is real. But tonight I'm excited because we're going to watch POSSUM, which I've heard is quite an experience.

@horror

@deadbeefthemonster@infosec.exchange avatar

@stina_marie @horror What I love about horror is that the ratings don't matter. Horror movies don't need to be amazing with rich characters and dialog. Sometimes a bunch of badly acted characters headed to their doom is all we need. "YOU GONNA GET CUT UP IN THAT ROOM YOU DUMMY!" etc. and it is the best.

I am so so so (so) excited for the start of the new season of ST: Lower Decks. It is my treat to myself for making it through the week without injuring anyone for doing dumb things

@jerry I'm going to start watching the show in an hour or two, for the first time :)

deadbeefthemonster,

@jerry good call out, to be sure. I'm definitely going in with it just as something new and unique and not compare it to other things.

Dang, I did not realize how much the 8 core nginx server was limiting performance of Infosec.exchange. I am really sorry. Should have noticed it much sooner.

deadbeefthemonster,
@deadbeefthemonster@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry Dude, no way in a million years would I complain about the service of this instance. If anything, it would be a light-hearted joke if things were "slow" or whatever. We all appreciate you providing this safe place for us all.

But why are we singing?

Also, Pelia is the hottest person on that ship, but I may be biased by Carol Kane in Scrooged as the ghost of Christmas present (perhaps my favorite Christmas movie character).

deadbeefthemonster,

@jerry same! There's so much more than can do with her character, but could be a distraction, perhaps.

@jerry @AlicornSkyler I support this message. And speaking of messages, sending things across the Internet these days is risky at best, right? Why not protect it from hackers and other baddies with NordVPN, using my discount code... - see you next time, infosecXies

On the upside, adding an additional app server to Infosec.exchange US has nearly eliminated the lags that I had been seeing, but on the downside, I am STILL seeing the media upload issue where nginx helpfully swaps all servers mid-upload, resulting in an error 500/503 🤬

deadbeefthemonster,

@jerry I can walk by the servers to magically fix them as a service?
