There’s a madness to my method. 🥸

Autism and Sensory Issues:

Our microwave oven is a sensory nightmare for me. I always try to stop it before it reaches zero and begins beeping. I get extremely anxious over this.

What do you avoid?

@autism101 @actuallyautistic 💀 Had to show this to my husband so we could have a good laugh. He does not understand why I must stop it before it beeps! But he does it too, for me. ♥️♥️♥️

Also watch videos without sound, play games without sound, and cannot stand my stupid car turn-signal blinker noise.

Ok. I am tired of Infosec.exchange being sluggish. I just submitted a crazy order with Hetzner to upgrade the instance. Hopefully the last time for a while. I ordered a dell AMD Genoa 48 core server with 256 GB of ram to act as a database and redis server, a dell 64 core sapphire rapids server with 256gb of ram to act as the single front end/puma/streaming server, and an amd 7950 with 128gb of ram to run minio (insourcing from Backblaze).

I ordered all with 10g network interfaces to be connected to the same switch.

I continue to see issues with Backblaze performance causing issues with posting.

This will consolidate the environment down from about 13 servers to 4 (I will keep using less expensive servers on 1G networks for Sidekiq if it can’t run on the sapphire rapids server.

I will be putting that behind Fastly for global distribution and ddos mitigation. I don’t know whether I’ll keep serving media via bunny.net or try to do that with Fastly also. Bunny works pretty well and is cost effective for media delivery.

Anyhow, changes are coming. Thanks for patience.

@jerry Thank you for taking such good care of the Jerryverse. 💜 If you post a fundraising toot too, I will be happy to boost.

I keep forgetting how awesome the Mona app is. I am hoping they some day add moderation/admin functionality.

And for anyone longing for quote tweet functionality, Mona already has it.

@jerry I’ve noticed they are very good at listening to and responding to their users. Perhaps tag them and ask?

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.

@geekgrrl@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry Okay. I was afraid to ask, but since you are encouraging questions… If two mind readers are reading each other’s minds, who’s thoughts are they seeing?

It’s perhaps a bit disappointing that Google decided not to reach out to me/the mod team as they posted this: https://blog.google/threat-analysis-group/active-north-korean-campaign-targeting-security-researchers/

The account is suspended now.

@jerry For a full five seconds I thought the item in his left hand was a small black cat. :blobcatbreadpeek:

@jerry @GuillaumeRossolini Oh wow. Yeah, Jerry is a big animal lover. I don’t think he’d post something like that. My brain is just wired weird. 😆

This is a real, real bad one. It seems an instance dedicated to CSAM and should be suspended right away!

Not sure if you saw this scroll by or not, @jerry. ⬆️

So the craziest thing happened today. I went out to lunch because I was not having the happy work day and needed to get away from the house. After lunch, I went to the grocery store next to the restaurant. I don’t know how it happened but when I woke up, I was in my car with Mike’s harder lemonade and some orchids. At least that is the story I’m telling.

@jerry Sorry to hear you had a crap day. At least it was orchidully productive! :flower_pink:

(It is possible I made that word up.)

(Also, you need to add yourself an orchid emojo. Just sayin’.)

@jerry I am not a photographer, but the … depth? focal point? for your shots tonight is nice. It feels cozy. Probably time for me to sleep too! lol 🥱

I am in love with this lens. I don’t think I’ve taken such nice pics of my old friend, Thor, before.

Thor, the orange and white tabby cat looking at the camera.

@jerry That is a very good picture of Thor. He’s quite photogenic.

I am only now remembering it - when I started having a high fever last week and tested positive for Covid, my wife offered to call the local large animal vet to come out and administer some ivermectin. This is why I love that lady.
