Once again I have spent too much time today maintaining personal projects that I'm not sure even I care about But at least they have passing badges on GitHub? ★ 1 I see a lot of sources that list AI token prices as prices per 1M, apparently these folks have never worked in advertising where 1M = one thousand (e.g. CPM = Cost Per Thousand ad impressions) I admit it makes more sense to use metric symb… Microsoft support is so legendarily bad that my team is currently playing a game of "not-it" to see who is on point for our next support case ★ 3 Maybe people need to load keywords on their resumes to pass human and/or automated gatekeepers But personally I wouldn't include YAML on my resume unless I co-authored the specification ★ 1 Given enough AIs, all bugs are shallow? ★ 1 Alma Linux had updated kernel packages to address Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) before RedHat did: https://almalinux.org/blog/2026-05-01-cve-2026-31431-copy-fail/ https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-31431 ★ 1 One of my colleagues is currently trolling co-workers with CVE-2025-71263 (a vulnerability found in the recently rediscovered UNIX V4 source) I kind of want to let people in on the joke, but quite not enough ★ 1 I know it's easy to mispronounce a word or name you've never heard aloud before, but if you're making a YouTube video about Jean Giraud, maybe figure out how to pronounce his name first? ★ 7 All the resumes with "CISSP in progress." I can say a lot of things are in progress! That's a red flag. I suppose it matches the pattern for "CISSP" for automated filters, but humans are unimpressed. ★ 1 Search tools now try to second-guess what I'm searching for. I'm searching for "tree" and it's returning results "three" and "true" I mean if Levenshtein distance is considered relevance, "trash" is right there ★ 2 I received an email inviting me to a webinar/talk by Chrys Heard and I thought it was a joke or an AI hallucination based on my name, but there really is someone by that name in infosec Howdy, Chrys! ★ 1
