This past weekend I had a #3dprinting jam bad enough it was easier to replace the whole bowden tube. After a print or two I started getting equally bad jams with the new tube! The clue was noticing resistance just pushing filament through the bowden tube. A drop of olive oil on the foam in my dust filter provided enough lubrication and now prints are silky smooth!
When we say the #Librem5 is a mobile computer in your pocket, this is what we mean.
One of our customers (@primalmotion) hacks on custom versions of #PureBoot firmware for their #Librem14 which always runs the risk of temporarily bricking your computer.
When that did inevitably happen, they were able to connect their Librem 5 to their hardware flashing equipment and run the same tools you'd run on your Linux laptop to re-flash working firmware.
Oh look: a fake CA tied to a surveillance company. Nothing to see here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/08/trustcor-internet-addresses-government-connections/
I'll shortly be attempting to migrate to another instance (theoretically all followers automatically get updated? Exciting times), so a brief #introduction while I'm still on this one - I'm a security developer, Linux contributor, and free software advocate focused on ensuring that people are able to make informed decisions about whether their computers are trustworthy and what software can run on them. I also reverse engineer weird IoT things and tend to find exceedingly strange bugs.

Given how easy it is to move to a different Mastodon instance, it will be interesting to see in the coming months to see how many new folks will live in the "big cities", how many will move to small towns, and how many will start their own homesteads. #fediverse
I was in my school's engineering library this morning and found a familiar author. I thought you'd be interested!
My weekend project of installing a mantel over my brick fireplace was stalled by the brick wall being *far* from flat (center sinks in a half inch). After several attempts at shimming the French cleat, still not able to seat the mantel firmly enough to suit me. #homeimprovement

Let's add some more chaotic energy to the world. I've got a prototype for fpm that converts curl|bash to your favorite package format.

I recorded this episode of @reality2cast back in April with @shawnp0wers and @kyle about making the move from Twitter to the fediverse with Mastodon and I think it’s all still relevant. It’s a fun and nerdy chat you can check out here: https://www.reality2cast.com/109 #TwitterMigration #podcast #opensource #nerdsWithMics 🤓🎙️

Alright, time to intro for this instance:
I've been in #InfoSec for almost 25 years, starting out in threat research. I moved into #SecurityEducation / "thought leadership" for a few years, and for the last few I've been focusing on #TechnicalWriting / #TechnicalEditing
Trying to help researchers write better threat reports and security content.
The greater part of my thought leadership content was about increasing inclusivity, especially for the #neurodiverse and #disabled communities.
Reminder: I’ve started posting helpful FAQs here: https://wiki.infosec.exchange/doku.php?id=wiki:faqs
Just got #Mastodon setup on my @purism Librem14 with #QubesOS. I am liking #Whalebird as the local client personally. Yes this is basically my daily driver when I don’t use the Pop!_OS desktop and also what a bit more security. now to back it all up. #cybersecurity #linux
