First of all, I must admit I have messed up this week. It started small, with an issue in my parents’ PiHole. The fix was not that complicated, but I had to upgrade the Raspberry pi zero to Raspbian Bullseye. After the update, I performed several updates. Autossh, VPN, I set all of that up no problem. During the update, I was pivoting through one of my private servers in the cloud.
Finally bought a Flipper zero! If you’ve seen me on twitter (how else would you find this post), you may have seen me posting some Flipper shenanigans. Now I will try to explain why I bought it and what it has done for me so far.
This is going to be fun. I have no stake in this, I am going to just yell at the clouds in this one. But I will also try to share what is available about the UP Phone (UnPlugged Phone) and the services underneath it.
In short, Roe v Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court.
I know I am late for the show (World Password Day was yesterday), but I had no access to the machine I usually write on, so I’ll get this off my chest now. I will illustrate my complaints about the proposed system, as well as potential solutions.
I moved to the “prepaid” card, and now every month, I get about $13 per month taken from my debit card. Sure, it’s still botnet, but it’s less of a botnet, since a virtual card number won’t lead attackers to everything I am.
To start this off, I have to say this: I have not ordered stuff in my real name for about a year now. I have one or two shops that know my name, but the vast number of e-shops have no idea who the package is for. Where I live, it’s not illegal to put a burner card number in (many banks support this feature nowadays) and a fake name in the order. If you can have your shit sent someplace else entirely, even better, although I cannot say I’ve done this (I do not have a private P.O. box at the time of writing).
In recent times, where most people work on their own (entrepreneurs, contractors, etc.), the field of branding has gone from being a thing corporations and companies do to something everyone should think of. However, in this post, I would like to explain the polar opposite I am striving for: Being a ghost (and leveraging that as branding).
Now, this is just gonna be a quick venting on what I heard today. It is for all the folks just starting in cybersecurity, and seems to be endemic to the US. The thing I’m talking about is bootcamps.
Guess who’s back!
It’s been a VERY long time since I’ve been offline, but now I’m back and I’m happy to say that everything’s going fine.
