Hey, hacker fam. Quick update on what's going to be a big week.

Tomorrow I'm flying out to Bellevue and Wednesday I'm speaking at #BlueHat about the work @SophosXOps has done helping #Microsoft protect all Windows users from a very devious attack.

After I return, I'm in full-swing campaign mode running for the #BVSD #SchoolBoard. I've been doing door-knocking and meet-and-greet for days. Yesterday I spent hours giving out water to marathon runners here in #boulder

Next week though - I'll be participating in a candidate forum hosted by BVSD and you will be able to watch it live from anywhere because it will be broadcast by #livestream on BVSD's Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@bouldervalleyschooldistric5781/streams). October 18 from 6pm-7:30pm MDT (UTC -6)

You can read up now on the forum and ** you can even submit questions.**

If you work in #infosec or fight #malware like me, I'd like you to submit questions to the forum. You can send in questions about #ChatGPT or any other subject, as long as it pertains to public education in some way. The link to submit questions and get more information (including a detailed look at my platform) is here: https://www.impactoneducation.org/event/2023-bvsd-board-of-education-candidate-forum/

I try not to clutter up the infosec feed with this stuff, so for more, follow @andrewbrandt

Together, we're going to #ElectMoreHackers

There’s a lot of consternation in the fediverse lately about instances blocking each other, admins fighting, blocklists, and the like. If you’re on an instance that blocks other communities you want to participate in, politely ask your moderators/administrators to reconsider. If they disagree, I recommend moving to a different instance rather than a prolonged argument. Some administrators prefer erring on the side of over blocking and protecting their user base than being permissive and expose their userbase to riff raff or, in some instances, just to avoid the appearance of being too permissive to other instances.

Life is short. Find an instance that works for you.

(Edit: and the converse is true - if your instance is overly permissive and you are regularly being harassed or otherwise bothered and your moderators aren’t responding as you expect, find another instance that is better aligned to your needs. Life is still too short. Find an instance that works for you)

@jerry @spike it just seems like suddenly, I am doing Trust & Safety work, and I'm not thrilled with that. I wish there was a way to delegate authority & responsibility to a trusted third party that takes accountability for errors. But it seems like an insurmountable problem, so instead we all end up doing it.
