Musk and his cyber-terrorists are now moving into IRS records. If they get away with this, that's pretty much the ballgame, folks.

I continue to report on the urgent cybersecurity and privacy issues resulting from DOGE access across the government. If you know something our readers should be aware of, please reach out to me on Signal at joemenn.01. Thank you.

Winter is waning
The featherfolk are flocking
Spring will be here soon

Popped out for a light snack

Every Tesla we saw on our walk to dinner last night had a similar message. This is North London.

since we're renaming oceans to silly things, the North Atlantic Ocean is now the Gulf of Dingle.

BREAKING: A bunch of U.S. Digital Service employees (including me) were fired tonight. It's still unclear exactly how many. There is no visibility whatsoever into what determined who was let go. Legacy USDS (i.e., pre-DOGE) leadership was not involved in the decision about whom to let go and was not notified in advance that people were going to be fired.

The amount of love and support from the fedi pouring into my notifications tonight is very much appreciated. I don't take it for granted, and I appreciate you all. 🫂

Yesterday I interviewed a ridiculously clever person from @nvidia about chip design and the future of computing. We agreed that Voyager's Bio-neural circuitry is the way forward but it'll take a while. Also, I love my job.

I'm looking for a new job doing security assessments / research.

I spent the last 6 years building advanced security assessment capabilities around hardware/IoT, industrial, marine OT, and x86 platforms. Before that I spent 5 years as a pentester. I excel at weird and novel stuff with no template.

I'm in the UK and I'm looking for a full-time remote role.

The UK online safety act, giving protection from non UK websites.

A group of 20-somethings with names like "Big Balls" gain unauthorized access to your servers, delete data, take your website down, and now you can't serve your customers and your organization goes belly up unless you pay money to a mafia boss.

Sounds a lot like ransomware, doesn't it? When your government starts imitating ransomware playbooks, it's a four-alarm fire. At least in theory one can negotiate with ransomware actors.

Could this be a cuff link?
If this is a cuff link then I know what it is.
If it's *not* a cuff link I have no idea what it is, but it's living in my desk drawer 🤷‍♀️

the reviews of How Git Works make me so happy to read, my goal was to help people form a clear mental model of Git and it's amazing to hear it's actually working ❤
