1. I think i'm the smol-est person at #FediCon2025 -- in the photos I've seen so far, it's very obvious (for the record, I am 5'0")

2. i really want a Capicola Monte Cristo sammich :ms_loud_cry: --- I think it's coz i'm overtrained and intermittent fasted for 2 days during the conference that I wanna eat something salty and spicy (likely my body saying "I need more electrolytes)

3. i really want to have dinosaur-shaped gyozas like what I saw from @Natasha_Jay's video.

I also learned there's a place in Mexico that does dinoquesadillas OMFG. I love spicy quesadillas! I can't remember the last time I've eaten a quesadilla so it means I haven't eaten those for more than a year (I went on an ayurvedic diet in Valentine's 2024 to Spring 2025) to improve my gut & skin health). Dairy was one of the foods I was not allowed to eat.

SRSLY: i love dinosaurs so any food shaped like it, I WANT TO PUT IN MY MOUTH #kuchisabishii #randomthoughts #sundaymusings

See the dinoquesadillas here OMFG

Die Tatsache, daß wir immer noch "Zollstock" sagen, zeigt wie lange es dauert, bis sich (auch fundamentale) Änderungen durchsetzen. Wer glaubt, mit einer genialen Idee die Welt verändern zu können sollte daher vor allem eins haben: Geduld und den Willen auch generationenübergreifend zu denken und zu planen. #SundayMusings

I am not saying that here, on my slice of the #fediverse, I found "my" people. What I do say is that Facebook, Twitter, Insta, TikTok, BlueSky, Threads are definitely not "my" people. But I would love to see all of them use a common language at the low-level -#ActivityPub. Once that happens, things can only get better :) #SundayMusings

@washingtonpost
Today is #Sunday
How many #church leaders around your community and the world at large are spreading #farright #zionist (& #GOP) #hubris about #Israel's right to defend itself when the #truth now is that #Netanyahu has led #IDF into indiscriminate #revengesieges that extinguished the lives of innocent #civilians and #children in #Gaza? It is my duty to decent humanity to call them out.
Sorry if my #SundayMusings are not to your liking - it is too difficult to feel otherwise now.

Good #Sunday morning #mastofolks!
Sharing how to be happy from a wise and down-to-earth man:
“I get to work in a job that I love, but I have always worked at a job that I loved. I loved it just as much when I thought it was a big deal to make $1,000.
I urge you to work in a job that you love. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don’t like because you think it will look good on your resume.”
-- Warren Buffett

I think I've uncovered evidence that we're in "The Matrix".

I take the dog for a walk on the same route along the beach most mornings. I often bump into a friend or two and a few people I'm familiar with but...

There also seems to be an infinite number of people and dogs who are procedurally generated - I've never seen them before and never see them again!

Here's a gratuitous late morning coffee cup shit on this wonderfully slow Sunday morning. Next up? Some Coda buttons.

I'm relearning how different platforms function.

Something I had enjoyed about Twitter was just sticking random thoughts out there. No images necessary. IG is less friendly for that. Mastodon doesn't have much engagement. I guess it's cross posting and finding a home.

#taxodon #sundaymusings

I’m so used to NOT posting or replying or really engaging at all on the bird app (except for with people I know IRL) for fear of being harassed by all the crazies (although I was never what one would call a power user) that it’s gonna take a bit for me to get used to not just reading and scrolling but actually interacting with strangers again. And using hashtags. #sundaymusings 🤔

Since @newsgoth raised the topic, I'd like to keep it going. My intuition is that there are a LOT more GRC types of people out in the workforce than there are pen testers, SOC analysts, bug hunters, REs and so on.

I will say that the thing which really drew me in to security was risk. I read the book "Black Swan" before a lot of risk programs starting crowing about black swans, and it entertained me endlessly to watch companies try to enumerate and quantify their black swan risks/exposures.

I learned a ton about decision making under uncertainty, and, in particular, that most companies don't have an appetite to be diligent about it, and so we end up with the likelihood x impact heatmap nonsense that lets people press on with their preconceived notions about what risk priorities are.

I do think that a fundamental problem we have in IT is a lack of understanding about what can go wrong. We make what we think are informed decisions, but they generally are not. We lack imagination, which is why I think we need more red team consultations in the GRC field.

Do I want to be that person who owns a coffee machine and then sniggers at lesser mortals for drinking ready made coffee? #sundaymusings #waystoavoidwork
