Or, “What I’ve Been Doing Instead of Writing Shit” I haven’t written anything on this blog in… a little while. So what better way to get back to that than explaining what I’ve been doing for the past uhhh 4? 5? months :D job In case anyone missed it, I started a grad role/paid internship-type vibes role at [redacted] as a “Cyber Security Analyst”, which if you base yourself off r/sysadmin or other similar places is literally made up and/or Bad.

Or, Oh my god stop using CVSS for everything So anyway, CVSS is pretty bad and 4.0 partly kinda redeems it a little. Let’s talk about why that is and why vulnerability management is widely just… broken. 🙂 Also, I’m assuming you either know the basics of this topic or you have access to [favourite search engine] 😉 But everyone uses CVSS? Must be good, right? The simple answer is, just because something is widely used doesn’t mean it’s good.

Or, If I See One More Snowden LARPer I WILL Cry I really should stop letting people live in my head rent free but if I did you would stop getting spicy blog posts from me, so… Anyway, threat models and risk measurement, eh? A disclosure I guess? I’m going to base this on the knowledge gained through my degree and what I’ve seen online. Anything that may be related to employment I hold will not be discussed here because that would be unethical :)

Or, FOSSbros make me cry Look, I like open source, and the general FOSS philosophy. But cmon man, the way FOSS is represented it makes me think the FSF is a front for Microsoft to make FOSS look like a joke and people are way too happy to be the caricatures. And who am I to say this? Look up who contributed the bulk of the translations into Romanian for Sileo or FluffyChat and don’t look up how much time I spend hanging around privacy and security spaces on matrix.

Or, Why are men?? This is normally a topic reserved for household contexts (at least, that’s where I’ve encountered it)1 and centred around men’s shirking of responsibility to do household labour that then ends up pushed onto women. What if men don’t just do it with household work? What if it’s also part of other realms, like say, in a university group assignment.2 Let’s take it from the top; Weaponised Incompetence So as I briefly mentioned earlier, this concept is basically all about (typically) men shirking their responsibility to also take part in household labour (e.

Or, the misguided march for privacy in that which is Not, by design… Shoutout to my fediverse homies who know what I’m talking about here. To everyone else, yes, there are genuinely people who believe you can make a social media platform its exact opposite, that is, a private social media platform with no asterisks on the word private. What is social media? According to my favourite website(s) Wikipedia1 and Wiktionary2, Social media are interactive forms of media that facilitate creation and sharing of content in a many-to-many relationship with regards to the publishing of said content.

Or, Jesus Christ these people have never stepped foot outside their STEM supremacist echo chamber and it shows What do Brendan Eich (creator of javascript and Brave), regular people, and techbros all have in common? Well, other than being humans. Correct, they all kinda hate Firefox and Mozilla! But why is this the case? I promise it’ll be relevant to why techbros are. Opsec? I hardly know ’er; why do I know this?
