I guess because like five of us are saying something, what was done to Chris Krebs is an absolute injustice and a mockery of his selfless service.
America no longer supports or protects critical infrastructure defenders. I hope someone else appreciates him a lot more.
I know he can’t reply.
@hacks4pancakes i am so mad that we are allowing these people to blow up all the bridges so they can charge us to ride a leaky ferryboat that will definitely sink.
@hacks4pancakes I think you should update to chaotic good from neutral given the state of the world
@aoptic no. I believe in structures. Not broken structures.
@hacks4pancakes Everything I've been saying has been to recruiters asking me if I wanted to move back to DC and do .gov infrastructure security "soonest."
Apr 12, 2025, 12:18 PMTo which I presume your answer is a resounding “oh hell no” even though this town needs folks like you.
@rickf It is indeed "Oh, hell no." That I don't know how to do that kind of management stuff aside, I'd have to move back to DC, and I can't support my family on what they're offering. And once I filed my SF-86 they'd either drop me like a hot potato or disappear all of us in one go.
Oh, and I can't drive for the foreseeable future and this is a high travel position.
Law firms can sue cuz they have the dough. I hope he can get help from
ACLU?
GOFUNDME?
@hacks4pancakes It is very important that the names of those who do and did the right thing are listed. There will come a day of reckoning for those who moved against them and both the good and the bad need to know that day will come. The good because they need to know they are supported and the bad because they need to know we are keeping watch, and they will answer for their actions. This applies everywhere in the World. #Mastodon #Fediverse #Karma #Justice
@hacks4pancakes +++++
@hacks4pancakes just posting here doesn't do much. I called the Whitehouse and my senators. Everyone should
@rsalz I’m not sure why you all assume I’m not doing all those things, it takes only a few seconds to post and inform a few more people.
@hacks4pancakes i didn't think you weren't.
@hacks4pancakes Marcy @emptywheel talked about Chris Krebs on the @nicolesandler show today. https://mastodon.online/@spocko/114321594253086142
Apr 12, 2025, 11:57 AM@hacks4pancakes I just realised that Brian and Chris are two different people.
Thought he left CISA and became a journalist...
@Ichinin tall Krebs and short Krebs? They’re both pretty tall. 🤷🏻♀️
@hacks4pancakes @Ichinin I used to be 5' 11". At almost 53, I've somehow shrunk to 5 10 1/2. Gravity's a bitch.
@briankrebs @hacks4pancakes @Ichinin Measure yourself in the morning, you'll be a bit taller.
Apr 12, 2025, 3:55 PM@briankrebs @hacks4pancakes @Ichinin I was unreasonably irate when it turned out aging had dropped me below 6 feet.
@briankrebs @hacks4pancakes @Ichinin Gravity also attacks us sideways... Rupert Vennekerm (Peter Ustinov): “No more questions. You're still growing upwards. I'm only growing sideways now.” The Sundowners, 1960
@briankrebs @hacks4pancakes @Ichinin I bet your back hurts sometimes too.
I've lost a whole inch at 60 but I'd happily give up another if standing up didn't make me flinch and groan...
@briankrebs gravity is a myth. The earth just sucks.
Apr 14, 2025, 12:31 PM@briankrebs @hacks4pancakes @Ichinin
I am 6'1". I have always been 6'1". I will always be 6'1", even when I am old and bent.
Never mind what the measuring stick says.
@hacks4pancakes Nuff respect
@hacks4pancakes I've certainly expressed my own outrage here and on Facebook. But I can't speak for my employer, and those who can, haven't. :-( The silence is not exactly increasing my pride in working there.
@hacks4pancakes Krebs ... I can only dream of aspiring to be like him. It is sad to see one of the most respected people in the industry being treated like this simply because he refused to back a lie. Everyone thought the cheeto colored cockwomble was joking about taking revenge. That is all the "man" lives for ... that and money, power, and obedience. He truly is a danger to our way of life and our country.
Should he wish too I'm sure there are a great many organisations or governments worldwide that would appreciate his help.
Reading a little on Krebs, it wasn't long before I came upon this little-referenced organization (at least in my feed) concerned with electoral finance reform.
They could use some boosting:
