Are you in Incident Response? You may want to review your malware response plans.

"When the malware has a GitHub token, it installs a small service called gh-token-monitor. Every 60 seconds, for up to 24 hours, the service checks that token against the GitHub API. If GitHub rejects it, the service runs rm -rf ~/ (or a PowerShell delete of your user profile on Windows). So the obvious first move, revoking the token, is what sets it off."

Great pic of me for Hacker 101 at #DragonCon 2026. Plus a bonus pic of my #DungeonCrawlerCarl #cosplay.

Giving this a whirl.

Poly cis bi 48yo male seeking feminine folks of any gender. Liberal cyberpunk neurodivergent geek who loves going to shows, raves, burns, or getting lost in nature. Been ENM for around 3 decades, including swinging, BDSM, and rigging. I'm a service top/daddy dom. I'm very sex-positive and looking for fellow kinky folks. I'm ADHD af and tend to enjoy being with other neurospicy folks. I only have one partner right now - a nesting partner/wife, @Leahgashe

I joined the internet a whole year before the world wide web, in 1990. I signed up with Netcom and I was an IX-er. I connected to the internet using winsock software on Windows 3.1. Those folks were called IX-ers, because I got a @ix.netcom.com email address. Only folks that had a Unix system got @netcom.com addresses.

The World Wide Web turned 35 today, August 6, 1991. Were you on the Internet before HTML? Boost to find how many old farts are on Mastodon!

Stolen from @acesfunhouse. Me 2sies.

I was trying to explain to someone that virtual appliances can't be patched using 'yum update' and had the lead of our change review board not understand.

He was insisting that it would work, so I had to throw down the gauntlet and say "I'm sorry your wrong."

In which he retorted like a child, "well, this is my meeting so I that means I'm right."

This is the type of toxic shit that drives me crazy, but I'm taking this as a win. He said that on a recorded line. Lost the battle, will win eventually...

I'm going to pronounce this as Hacker Fo'Show

What's the difference in #mastodon and #pixelfed? On the surface, Mastodon supports text posts and picture posts, so why would I need Pixelfed? If I find Pixelfed profiles I like, I can follow them on Mastodon, right?

What am I missing? Besides preferences for text/pic vs. only pics, what's the difference?

Well, well, well...

Jimmy Carter taught me how to fly fish.

When I was in elementary school on the south side of Atlanta, we took a field trip to the Carter Center. There's a part of the tour where they talk about how he loved fly fishing and they have a fly rod to show everyone what it's like. As the tour got to that part, we started seeing Secret Service folks. Then Jimmy Carter comes out to tell us all out fly fishing! Then he picked a few kids to come up and try, and I got to swing it around a few times. I got to shake his hand and he patted my shoulder. It was pretty amazing! So yeah, that's my story of how Jimmy Carter taught me how to fly fish.

@GossiTheDog Can someone help Mr. Gossi? He seems to have forgotten who he is.

I learned something new about #linux today. If you're on a box that doesn't have #telnet, but has #curl

Its funny cause its true.
