The CyberForge HQ has officially entered the satellite internet era 📡⚔️😃 If anyone else is tempted to escape ISP chaos, I now have a @Starlink referral available that gives us BOTH a free month. Referral link below or scan the QR code in the image 👇 starlink.com/residential?ref…

🤣🤣🤣

During DEFCON and Black Hat LAST YEAR I got together with @Flangvik for us to collab and record a goofy react-style video poking fun at Hollywood/media portrayal of hacking and cybersecurity. Quality is a little scuffed, but it's beers and hotel room content 😅 Special thank you to Melvin for giving me grace and leniency for taking literally 10 months (💀) to get this out the door. youtu.be/XIXb9tCgwHw

The new CyberForge uplink has arrived 📡⚔️ @Starlink Residential Max has officially landing at HQ. Professional installation booked for Monday. I honestly… can't wait for this 😀, excitement levels are high 😃 Time to leave ISP outage pain behind and bring satellite internet into the kingdom. Huge thankyou 🙏 @elonmusk

Tomorrow's guest for the Payload Podcast is Andy Piazza (@klrgrz) -- live on X/YouTube/Twitch/etc places -- would love to see ya in chat :) youtube.com/live/21JVLkxcdmo…

Naomi Brockwell Joins JHT All-Stars! New Free Upskill Challenge: Create your own encrypted USB drives. justhacking.com/uc/uc-encryp… Storing sensitive files on a normal USB drive is like writing your diary on a sticky note and leaving it in a taxi. If someone gets the drive, they get the files. No hacking required! Naomi shows three ways to create encrypted USB drives: The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key, the Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 50C, and VeraCrypt. Find out how they compare, which best fits your threat model, and step-by-step setup tutorials for each. #cybersecurity #hacking #privacy #encryption @naomibrockwell

I was an AOL hacker in 94-96 with Chron, Radiator & Happy Hardcore. I released Star Tools in 96, Mad Misery’s Master AOL. That led to my friend Jay Satiro’s arrest I’ve had CIA engineers work on my projects since 1999. The CIA helped @RealRossU in 2019 ryanabravanel.medium.com/aol…

Important to know that Postgres/MySQL on local SSD is *the* best way to get great performance. The reason it could get *even faster* boils down to abstraction boundaries. SSDs are built to be workload agnostic. They have their own controllers and garbage collectors meant to balance performance of many different I/O patterns. DBMS are written to support arbitrary backing I/O devices: SSD, HDD, or even a remote storage system. It's good that they're written to be broadly performant! The point of the paper was that, if you're willing to build something that specifically targets local SSDs (and even specific models of local SSDs) you can optimize the full DBMS -> OS -> hardware stack for the exact characteristics of a workload and hardware specifications. This is a classic tradeoff. You can usually get better performance as you narrow scope for specific hardware, architectures, etc. Maintainers of OSS must walk a careful balance of optimizing for performance while also maintaining wide compatibility. For the curious-minded, I wrote an interactive article on the history of I/O devices, and how that interplays with database performance: planetscale.com/blog/io-devi…
