TL;DR: Technoblather.
I find it more annoying than I should that the VAST majority of what you see in the realm of application security these days is simple regurgitation and rebranding of long-since-realized, simple vulnerabilities.
If you're a skiddie, great -- every exploit is a new vulnerability, ripe for naming and trademarking.Have at it. But at least admit that you're just a skiddie.
If you're an actual hacker, it's always down to basics...and those rarely change.
And...I'm back. Yeah, I know...no one cares :)
Summary of goings-on:
- reprinting portions of what is now a Paz Vizsla tribute costume (new X1C printer is _nice_)
- returned from our first trip to Portugal...and now looking to move there (permanently) within 10 years. So there's that, which is nice.
- _might_ have confirmation of a new wolfhound pup coming later this year...about 4 weeks before officially official
What it ISN'T: "Hey, we've got this high-profile arms dealer of yours who's never going to see the light of day again. We'll trade him to you for Griner."
What it IS: "We have an arms dealer of yours. He's been in prison since 2008 on a 25 year sentence. All of his contacts have long since been burned and you can't find armaments anyway. We'll release him 10 years early in exchange for Griner."

Who would have thought that a monetary system based on a non-transactional, append-only "database" that is architecturally incapable of scaling would be a bad idea?
The mind boggles.

What is a bad gateway?
Tell me what it means!
It’s simply just a symptom:
CoSo’s bursting at the seams!
Thousands of new users—
Quickly brought on board—
Are challenging the servers
And pushing CoSoCore!
If you get this message
While trying to access,
Take the chance to relax
And don’t become distressed
The wonder that is CoSo
Is waiting here for you
Have a bit of patience
As these waves pass through
😄
(Not sure if this is technically accurate but the rhyme works lol)

For those posting the constant barrage of "Go Vote" posts -- do you really think that's doing anything other than making noise?
I mean, does anyone really think there's someone sitting there today who sees that and says "oh...crap...I hadn't realized that was today. I should go vote!" 'Cuz that's pretty much all you could possibly be after at this point -- those who decided not to vote have long since made that decision, you're not changing anything.
PROTIP -
If the Firehose is too much, you can unpin it.
If a hashtag, word or phrase is annoying you, filter it.
If a person is annoying you, block them.
If you don't want to block them, mute them.
If you only want your friends to see your posts in feeds, set that as your default post privacy setting in your settings/preferences.
The tools are available for you to combine in your own way and make COSO your unique experience.

Hacker (ethical kind), recovered-ninja, blacksmith, geek, serial kilter.
That about covers it.
