The hacker community lost one of its kindest souls yesterday. I lost a best friend. The cancer can't fuck with you anymore, you still won in my book. Rest easy, Aaron (Bind).

I want to wake up tomorrow and not wonder "what fresh hell threatening to end democracy will we face today?"

If this ends up being true, and I struggle to see how it won’t, this is a very very bad look. Trying to “wordsmith” your way out of a breach will not pay off, you may think it will but it will burn you. You don’t need graphic detail but you do need honesty doublepulsar.com/oracle-attem...

oh boy

Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau confirmed that the phantom TCAS RA/collision alerts at DCA on March 1 were caused by the Secret Service and Navy "improper testing counter-drone technology at DCA"! If that's true, those are some wild test procedures. What a place & time to test.

Show me owls landing on photographers and I'll show you photographers baiting and feeding owls. Jeez.

It's #makeShitMonday! I want to see your projects for the last week, cooking, hacking, crafting, coding, wood/metal work I did a ton of stuff this week but only got evidence of making low calorie high protein butter chicken. Show me what you got!

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

www.printables.com/model/121705... Released files to #printables for the #Yaesu #FTM500 bracket I made. If you break yours - I really consider this bracket temporary until people can get their replacement which seems to take a few days to ship and a week or so to arrive.

On March 1, several aircraft on approach to Reagan National Airport (DCA) got phantom TCAS RAs ("collision alerts"), with no aircraft visible. www.cbsnews.com/news/dc-airp...

It's #makeShitMonday! I want to see your projects for the last week, cooking, hacking, crafting, coding, wood/metal work. Anything goes. I printed and put up an EV plug holder and cable management. Not my design but very much appreciated! Show me what you got!

Broke the FTM-500 remote head mount. Parts ordered...but...gonna be a bit. How about I torture myself in CAD. #Yaesu #Fusion360 #AutoCAD #3DPrint #Prusa #Printables (coming soon)

Fun fact at one point my job title was: Counter-Threat Operations & Security Monitoring Lead

Quite a bit of military aircraft right now. This is not a 'tell' of anything, but a result of lots of very hard work by station owners and ACARS enthusiasts upgrading and tweaking their setups. Click on the aircraft and flip through the msg each one has. tbgacarshub.airframes.io/adsb

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

The BBC is quite correct.

" Here's a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: near miss. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it's a near miss. Bullshit, my friend. It's a near hit! A collision is a near miss. [WHAM! CRUNCH!] ' Look, they nearly missed! ' ' Yes, but not quite. ' " - George Carlin
