Like many people, I'm pretty much resigned to Twitter being a legacy platform now, and have moved over to Mastodon (infosec.exchange/@metlstorm) as my daily driver infosec-chums-hangout place. See you there, don't expect much new content or good DM response times here. 👋

Hey @NZStuff, I'm the titular "expert" of this article stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/ne… and I am not okay with you selling clickbait porn ads objectifying women adjacent to my work persona. I understand the reality of funding media and online advertising. But this? Not Okay.

Sadly, this turned out to be a lie. I tested positive for COVID this week, and hence did not get on my plane to the UK this morning. 😭 As we say in .nz, "stink". Also, I would not recommend COVID, in case any of you were on the fence still.

Goodnight my #kawaiicon chums, thanks for coming to our show, and being so supportive of our attempts to do it safely. You all see what this community does, across so many important areas of society, but still with the whimsy and cheek and fun of our hacker heritage. 💜🤘🔥

I had just opened my mouth to insert one when pgut001 wrapped up and I heard applause over the green room pa. Instead taking it out like a professional, lizard food security brain stem shoved it in, then I ran for stage. You can see why this was the right choice now #kawaiicon

(context for those not familiar with the backstory; GCSB was the only member of the FVEYs that never actually admitted to doing computer hacking, despite doing computer hacking, and being in the best computer hacking club... Gotta make recruiting hard when ya can't say wat ya do)
