I don't dispute that jails are hard to break into, but they are even harder to break out of. How many of us would choose to live in a prison in real life? Instead we make risk assessments that balance personal freedom and security, and the digital world should be no different.

The security industry has largely failed to build security measures without reducing a user's freedom more than attackers. It's not only harder to build security solutions that give users control, it reduces dependence on the vendor. This is why vendors just build jails.

@Gina Caty says make climbing pants that are comfortable, flattering, and don’t rip in one climb and

@Gina my research has shown that if your back looks amazing while you climb you can crush like two or three grades higher than otherwise. This is actually unisex in application. Now that you’ve read it on the internet it’s also a fact.

@Gina make leggings that make the booty pop. Strappy back top thing. TikTok yourself climbing literally anything. Profit.

@doenietzomoeilijk just in time for us to move back to the US where riding a bicycle is just insane!

@Gina and hope we survive long enough for the rebound

@Gina just another collapse around the corner. Been due one for a while.

@kyle isn’t that what the air in the bay is supposed to be???

Welp guess my fiancée is officially Dutch now. Her bike was stolen last night.

@kyle even websites without ads are still crippled by “full stack” dependency on garbage from top to bottom. I see this a lot on corporate sites. Abysmal performance that comes from using the latest tech rather than the most well suited, and then doubling down on copypasta of StackOverflow solutions to tricky topics rather than trying to understand a best practice or approach.

Today was not what one might call fun.

Email detailing what was certain to be an exploitable service thanks to extremely bad php and other regrettable decisions. This was followed by our M2M ISP breaking their firewall and taking out *global* communications for almost all of my remote devices.

On the plus side, I’ll hit 40hrs very quickly this week and I’m in no mood to violate my local labor laws by working a second more than that.

Knitting on the train always helps the time fly by.

Pulled into a meeting with a backend provider because “we sent your system a message and you rejected it!”

In the “proof” from their logs was a Java UnknownHostException.

My stay in the meeting was short.
