Merry whatever you celebrate or don’t celebrate, hope you enjoy time with those you love.

I've had a few people ask if the giveaways I perform are legitimate or if they're just some sort of engagement bait. The giveaways are real. Hundreds of people can attest to the free stuff they've received from myself or our sponsors (who give to me to give to others). This is my 3rd year doing it. It's every Holiday season. It's just educational or helpful stuff for nerds. It's all free and randomly chosen. Giving stuff for free is cool and badass and makes you feel warm inside. This year I'll be giving away books on malware, programming, network defense, and computer history. I also have TryHackMe thingies to giveaway. I also have some swag and stickers and stuff. Maybe more vendors will give me stuff to giveaway too, I don't know. We'll see! I'll post more details when they come up. Okay back to your regularly scheduled programming of cat pictures and malware

Holy shit they’ve LinkedInified my shitpost, including a medium article, and tons of ai hallucinated corpospeak, truly a cursed platform

The most interesting and accurate technical responses on X come from anonymous accounts with cartoon profile pictures, pictures of toast or other generic items. The one with corporate headshots and ex-FAANG in their bios usually provide nothing of value.

something to take the edge off

📧 Years before Google made the name its own, “Gmail” lived on Garfield․com — a fan email service where users could snag their own @​gmail․garfield․com address. It was email for people who hate Mondays. 🐾 It vanished like a pan of lasagne into Garfield’s belly… but its pawprints can still be seen on the #WaybackMachine ⤵️ web.archive.org/web/20000815… 🧵 #Wayback1T #WebHistory @Garfield
