Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time. Forgive yourself for giving away your power. Forgive yourself for past behaviors. Forgive yourself for the survival patterns and traits you picked up while enduring trauma. Forgive yourself for being who you needed to be.

This morning, cladding installation began on the road-facing wall of Gigabay. Goodbye view! @LabPadre

@rumilyrics *don't tell them anything

It took me 10 years to realize: no matter how much you trust the people around you, don’t tell them everything.

@livebeef @ez_a_juzernevem @vxunderground Moby's music video certainly dented the momentum

@ez_a_juzernevem @vxunderground Furries being specifically targeted would make more sense in the 00's or early 2010's, not the 2020's.

@unusual_whales That sounds low

Roughly 111 million people — half of all Americans with a credit card and over 40% of adults — are unable to pay off their credit card bills each month, per MorePerfectUnion

@ElGaloDoido1908 @AZ_Intel_ Exactly. No missiles got in that pocket

@AZ_Intel_ pretty sure this is a controlled demolition...

@pelositracker Wait, so DHS and TSA don't get paid til more people get passports? Is there an irony here?... Kidding about irony, but fr, airports less safe til this gets signed? We're all SOL

You've probably heard a lot about the SAVE America Act, but may not know why it's stalled Here's why it's not passing: → All 53 Republicans are expected to vote yes, but passing it requires 60 votes → Every Democrat is a no. They say it's voter suppression that would block millions of legal US citizens from voting Here's the summary → Passport or birth certificate required to register, not a driver's license → Photo ID required every time you vote. In person and by mail → Voter rolls sent to DHS to purge non-citizens The problem: 21 million Americans don't have easy access to those documents. Half of all Americans don't even own a passport Trump won't sign any other bill until this bill passes

@vxunderground @GenXFatBastard Is Five Eyes part of NATO? And the cyber offshoots of the G7? During aughts, NATO was largely ridiculed as ceremonial tripe with no command or will to exert any influence elsewhere, Balkans, Rwanda, Chechnya, even later Crimea, Libya should it be taken more seriously.

@GenXFatBastard I like this idea

United States President Donald J. Trump posted this message on social media today. Personal grievances the Trump administration it asserts it has with other countries and political theatrics aside, the notion that the United States even hints are exiting NATO is a PROFOUND cybersecurity issue. Yes, NATO deals with traditional military stuff (land, sea, air, space), NATO also deals with things in the digital domain (cyberspace). NATO (non-United States) has historically shared a great deal of intelligence with each other regarding state-sponsored threats to the United States. Likewise, the United States has shared intelligence on state-sponsored with our NATO allies. It makes me incredibly nervous that this idea of exiting NATO is floated or threatened. NATO cybersecurity space deals a lot with ICS/SCADA (Industrial Control Systems, which is things like water treatments plants, nuclear energy facilities, telecommunication systems, etc) and anything else which possesses a military threat to the United States and it's citizens. I am unsure of the impact leaving NATO would have on our cybersecurity intelligence. The idea makes me very nervous. The United States is constantly under siege from foreign adversaries (notably China, Russia, North Korea, Iran). Additionally, I have great concern that if we left NATO it would damage our relationship with European allies which have been of significant importance apprehending Threat Actors who have done extreme damage to the United States. Part of the FBI's success in apprehending ransomware actors have been our strong relationship with EUROPOL, and European allies apprehending individuals residing outside the United States. Chat, this unironically makes me very nervous.

Be the person you've always wanted to be.

@vxunderground x.com/i/status/20335… All of them?

I want to share something. I don't expect anyone to care. I just want to scream into the void. I've accomplished everything I've ever wanted to do with malware. There isn't really a malware thingy that's popped up that I haven't seen or done. My malware code repository of stuff I've written dates back to like, 2009. I've released dozens upon dozens of never before seen (at least publicly) malware snippets and ideas. I'm standing at this weird cross road where I'm standing at the peak and I'm kind of looking around like ???. What do I do now? Options: 1. Keep finding new stuff for usermode Windows malware 2. Venture outside usermode to kernel mode malware 3. Switch focus, focus on initial access or stager stuff, not final payload 4. Switch focus, focus outside Windows to different platforms 5. Switch to defense, develop ways to detect malware 6. ??? There is always more to learn and do. But, I've been climbing vertically for like, 20 years, and in order to keep climbing I need to find a different path.

@vxunderground x.com/i/status/20334… Hark, henceforth work

Currently reading about how the weird mooshy gooey thingy inside my skull can retain information (the brain). I started reading on neuropath ways and neurons and synapses. My brain (which is reading this and convincing me to type this) cannot comprehend how mooshy gooey non machine can store information. Mooshy gooey thing in skull, which is self aware, is confused. I am mooshy gooey thing. I don't understand any of this. I am having an existential crisis trying to understand it.

@staunovo I thought A) California is going to be in a world of hurt next week for oil bc of War and B) their refineries are bottleneck where even trains of oil from ND bakken are going to idle?

California’s Natural Resources Agency has ordered Houston-based oil driller Sable Offshore Corp. to remove a pipeline crossing a state park days after the US government instructed the company to begin pumping crude through the conduit. #oott bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@x_viral_vibes Where?

Natural oil seeps occur when hydrocarbons from underground source rocks migrate to the surface, forming visible crude oil, tar, or gas emissions.

Most people waste too much time explaining themselves to people who never had their best interests at heart. Time explaining what you do is time not doing it. You want to get things done, you need to learn how to ignore most of the world:

@HedgieMarkets Zipline 10x better

🦔 Walmart is expanding drone delivery to 150 more stores this year through its partnership with Wing, bringing the service to over 40 million Americans. By 2027 they're planning 270 drone delivery locations from Los Angeles to Miami. Wing says their top 25% of customers order three times a week. Most popular items are eggs, ground beef, avocados, limes, and snacks like Takis. The drone drops packages via parachute without landing. My Take The economics question keeps coming up and it's fair. Right now this probably doesn't make sense for a bag of nuts. But the last mile is the most expensive part of delivery, and if you can launch multiple drones from a truck in a central location to cover a radius, you eliminate a lot of windshield time. The drone doesn't need health insurance, doesn't take breaks, and can fly a direct path instead of navigating streets. The more interesting use case is urgent lightweight items. Prescriptions, phone chargers, last-minute ingredients. Wing started in Africa delivering blood and medicine to remote hospitals where the infrastructure didn't exist for ground transport. That worked because the value of speed was high and the alternatives were bad. Suburban America is a different test. The infrastructure exists, people aren't dying without their avocados, so the bar for convenience has to clear the weirdness of a drone dropping a parachute in your yard. Based on the three-orders-a-week stat from repeat customers, it seems like once people try it they keep using it. Whether that scales nationally is the question. Hedgie🤗

@JavierBlas Someone anticipated the need x.com/i/status/20328…

I wish I owned a VLCC right now. OK, even just a mere Suezmax would be good. Hell, an Aframax would do it. (looking at eyewatering dirty freight rates)

@vxunderground Do you live on a farm and like to sleep upstairs in barn? Like an un-homed cat sanctuary, and your favorite cat is like Hobbes from the comic? And one of your cats looks like a huge female tarantula?

Today United States Donald J. Trump released the "Cyber Strategy for America" document. It was highlighted by FBI Director Kash Patel. Let's take a look at it together. I'll translate it from fancy political speak into nerd speak.

Trump Pillars of Action: 1. Shape Adversary Behavior >mean nerds attacking americans and companies >theyre innocent ppl tho >nsa and cia given thumbs up to hack back extra >we raising aggression 2. Promote Common Sense Regulation >reduce cybersecurity regulation >checklists are for losers >regulation make companies less agile >companies and gov need to be fast af 3. Modernize and Secure Federal Government Networks >government computers are lame >will make them better >use best practices >use "post-quantum cryptography" >use "zero-trust architecture" >use "cloud transition" >will improve stuff to hunt down nerds we dont like >will use AI for cybersecurity 4.

🇫🇷⚓️ FLASH | Emmanuel Macron annoncera mercredi le nom du futur porte-avions français. Quel nom aimeriez-vous qu'il choisisse ?

@oilgas_investor @JavierBlas Trump admin reportedly had no preparation in the event Iran closed the straight. Such crazy blind spots.

@JavierBlas In this administration, competence is optional. Loyalty is not.

The American Petroleum Institute and CME (owner of the top US commodity exchange) are both pushing against some of the ideas the White House is floating to bring oil prices down. Reflexively, one would think that Joe Biden is still the President...
