Today is National Buy Your Sysadmin a Coffee Day. This is a very serious responsibility, if you don't install Java in the admin, all the things could crash.

Also, I made all of that up, but don't tell the people who don't know.

Flight attendant: Is there a doctor on this flight?

Dad: *nudging me* that should've been you

Me: Not now Dad

Dad: Not asking for a #Linux sysadmin to help, are they?

Me: Dad, there's a medical emergency happening right now

To summarize what will obviously become another conspiracy theory before long... no, no one is alleging a hack of the election results. In fact, such a hack is nearly absolute in it's failure. It's asking for an audit of other irregularities.

Food for thought. Do alerts become wallpaper in the background, and how do we make them more meaningful, separating the noise from the static?
Alert fatigue is real! If we look at just one slice of cybersecurity -- DLP -- only 65% of alerts are investigated within 24 hours. Of those that are investigated, an astounding 47% are false positives. And that pattern is consistent for most security domains.

If you are trying to help grow Bluesky, and engagement, remember, liking a post does not a while lot. Bluesky isn't developed on a popularity algorithm like other platforms.

Re-sharing a post helps a ton. Give your favorite content creators and news services a share, and watch them grow.

Fostering an early interest in STEM programs is not only the future of Tech, but quite possibly the future of our entire planet.

One of these youngsters may become the scientist that one day learns how to safely removed megatons of carbon from our air.

The DOJ's request to have Google sell off Chrome, and to potentially not allow the Play Store to be installed on Android phones by default, is a massive concern for Cybersecurity.

Think back to the days when Flash was so widely used, and most people didn't know how to install it.

I see a lot of celebs being impersonated on BlueSky and asking people not to follow the fakes.

You can be "verified" on the platform by changing your handle to include your registered domain. It helps people know it's really you.
