I hope by now everyone knows what Log4j is and how dangerous it could be given 10 points on CVE score. Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center published guidance where they observer toolkits being updated with exploits for Log4j. Also FTC issues statement to go after companies who failed to remediate Log4j it's getting very serious folks. https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2021/12/11/guidance-for-preventing-detecting-and-hunting-for-cve-2021-44228-log4j-2-exploitation/
Here we go again, another example of outright censorship. It's not even about policy, Twitter simply clearing our people they don't like. That's why I use Mastodon and highly recommend it to everyone as the one way stay free in your expression. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/02/technology/marjorie-taylor-greene-twitter.html
This is something we need people with bigger audiences to realize. Sure, Twitter has that "special sauce" that just keeps you scrolling for hours and hours. It's in Twitter's best interest to rope you in. It's that same "special sauce" that means that the majority of your followers don't see your posts unless they explicitly go looking for them. They're there, but they're not in that feed curated by Twitter to make them the most money.

Looks like bad guys never sleep or just decided to play Grinch: WordPress sites are under attack if you had one of the compromised plugins update it immediately. https://www-bleepingcomputer-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/massive-attack-against-16-million-wordpress-sites-underway/amp/
@cooper Sounds like privacy focused company bowing to digital censorship giant, because selling information about their customers who interact with their account online will have better ROI than privately sharing updates and thoughts through a Mastodon instance. World we live in.
URGENT: Starting Dec. 1st, Russian ISPs have started blocking access to Tor. We've also learned that Roskomnadzor, the Russian gov't responsible for censorship, intends to block http://torproject.org.

Sometimes ignorance of manufacturers is astonishing, and being Linux user you have to fight through that ignorance every day. So I am glad to announce that I completed quest of connecting those headphones to my laptop. Those won't pair, for no reason, so as a work around I had to trust that device in bluetoothctl then I removed device from BT setting and then :) I was finally able to pair. Beats decided to ignore part of the market, for no reason, but sounds is comparable to my Sennheiser.
Awesome, we are getting schooled on what you should not do as you deliver presentations. Basically master class on how you can take very interesting subject and ruin it by delivery, I am debating with myself on whether I should jump in front of the audience and offer to deliver presentation off of his slides. Unfortunate anomaly at the really awesome conference. #CSC9
It's a most wonderful time of the year: CSC9 conference. It's been virtual last year, good to be back in person. Also nice opportunity to earn some CPE. #CSC9
