Just had an unexpected fire alarm in our building. I was impressed to see that everyone actually evacuated immediately and calmly. Sounds like such a minor thing, but so many folks don't take it seriously when the real stuff goes down.

This instance was a false alarm, but it serves as a good reminder: always assume it's real. Take action. Because when it's not a false alarm, action makes all the difference.

Hmm... I don't know that I like this. Anyone have any thoughts on the company that Yubico is merging with? Could be nothing, but I've seen too many mergers with questionable motivations in the past.

Yubico sets the bar (in my opinion) for security keys. I surely hope that continues to be the case and we don't find out there was something fishy about this acquisition/merger.

If y'all have not had a chance to play around with Microsoft Sentinel, I am super impressed! There are so many useful features with this tool. I'm still very early in the learning process and I've already found tons of useful data.

Anyone have Sentinel tips for blue teamers?

If you have any control over email validation, please check to make sure that your RegEx doesn't have antiquated detection logic. I can't tell you how many times I come across services that refuse to accept an email address with a TLD longer than three characters.

There are tons of websites out there now with TLDs longer than three characters. Not allowing users to use the email that they want when signing up is a quick way to cause frustration or even user abandonment.

Someone on the blue site posted recently about hearing impairment and how them tweeting about it had helped in real life because folks were more aware of it. I think that's awesome!

I figured I would try following the example.

I've worn hearing aids since I was four years old. I have a 25% hearing deficit, mostly in the upper frequencies. Most folks can't tell that I am heairing impaired, as I do well with lip reading and such. But it definitely still causes me to ask people to repeat themselves more than an average hearing person would need to.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Updated the code. Figured out a better way to do it. Version 0.3 up at the above GitHub Gist link.

If you are annoyed by the max width property set on the panes of the #Mastodon interface, I've created a #tweak with a little bit of JavaScript that removes the max width property, which I inject into the page on-load using the #Greasemonkey extension in #Firefox. Just wanted to share the script in case anyone else is also annoyed by this.

I spent the better part of last weekend planning, installing, and configuring new network infrastructure at my house. Only one hardware addition, but a complete logical restructuring and hardware confg switchover to mesh and Wi-Fi 6.

It's been a fun project overall, but it has also been the first project that I've done since adding #Obsidian (https://obsidian.md) to my toolkit. I'd heard of it a while back but just never got around to trying it out. I wish I had sooner.

I planned the entire network upgrade in its own Obsidian vault, learning the software as I went along; the documentation is pretty solid! I'm also a bit obsessed with the extensive plugin system. There are so many things that this app can do! I've already pivoted to creating new and more complex vaults for work and task management.

Anyway, wanted to share in case anyone else was missing out on Obsidian, as well.

TL;DR: The vertical tabs functionality in Edge is real good. Please bring it to Firefox and others (#Brave).

After spending some time over the long weekend using the vertical tabs feature in #MSEdge, I'm seriously considering increasing its frequency in my browser rotation. I was working on a complex SOHO network overhaul involving multiple moving parts, time sensitive tasks, and aiming for next-to-no-downtime during the transition. Edge's implementation of vertical tabs was quite helpful for solving problems that I didn't know that I had. It's unique, well designed, and not something that is available elsewhere.

#Firefox has been and will be my main browser until it is longer a viable option or Mozilla deviates away from its current values and ethics. And yes, I do have the Vertical Tabs Reloaded add-on installed, but It's not the same experience. At all. Edge's vertical tab grouping functionality, along with color coding, additional interface buttons, and the ability to easily disable the horizontal tab bar breathe new life into vertical tabs.

Here's my #introduction:

Howdy! I'm Andy, from Texas. I have been in IT for a decade now, and #InfoSec has been my passion for around half of that time. I work in the public sector for a state agency as a Security Analyst. My passion in this career is #CTI, but my current role has me doing a little bit of everything. I'm also very into privacy and accessibility in the technology scope.

In my spare time, I like to play video games, Magic (MTG), and guitar/bass. I'm a metalhead and Iron Maiden is my all-time favorite band.

Glad to be here and collaborate with my fellow security nerds!
