1/4 I don't like to compartmentalize my life, so if you're following me you're going to see some of its various facets. This one's about religion: if that's not your thing I respect that, and hope you can scroll on without hard feelings.

I'm doing a #parents night at a local elementary school about helping #kids stay safe online. Here's my handout with my proposed talking points. Any advice/suggestions/something I'm missing? #parenting #onlinesafety #esafety #socialmedia

We're joining with #Netbox Labs on Feb 25 @ 11 AM EST for "Managing #NetworkSecurity Threats In #CriticalInfrastructure With NetBox & #Zeek in #Malcolm." You can watch this overview (youtu.be/c__mZAGXmk0) if you want a bit of context before the webinar. Register at netboxlabs.com/events/webin....

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes. Right fucking now! How is this even a discussion?

Our old (11) #dog Peach and our young (< 2) #cat Toad are such good partners. In the winter, Peach gets to sleep in the shop under a heat lamp on the couch, and Toad is a faithful companion every night. It warms my heart. #catsanddogs #pets

So I'm a 42/yo man who is going to be going to #therapy for the first time next week. I've been on meds (effexor xr 150mg) for a number of years for #depression and #anxiety but lately it's just not cutting it vis-a-vis prevailing feelings of worthlessness and dread. /1

The next Zeek Webinar just started. The topic is Parsnip: Lowering the Barrier of Entry for Parser Development, with Melanie Pierce from Idahp National Laboratory. Join us at www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y0l...

We will host another Zeek webinar, Parsnip: Lowering the Barrier of Entry for Parser Development, by Melanie Pierce, on Wednesday 20 November at 1 pm ET. Register for free here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

My friend Melanie Pierce is presenting a Zeek webinar tomorrow at 10am PST on Parsnip a project she's a lead on here at #INL. If you're interested in #Zeek and #parser development, please hop on!

I just released v24.11.0 of #Malcolm (malcolm.fyi), a powerful, easily deployable network traffic analysis tool suite for #NSM. See github.com/cisagov/Malc... for details. #opensource #HedgehogLinux #Zeek #Arkime #Suricata #PCAP #CyberSecurity #Cyber #Infosec #INL #DHS #CISA #CISAgov

I'm curious what other #Python coders do to manage helper functions and classes to reuse across various scripts and projects to avoid copy/pasting. For the last few years I've maintained my own package on PyPi (pypi.org/project/mmgu...) that I add as a project dependency. Are there other approaches?

Some stuff I #selfhost in my #homelab: * PiHole/DNSCrypt * LLDAP * step-ca * Vaultwarden * Plex * Photoprism * Calibre-Web * audiobookshelf * Podgrab * croc and hostyoself relays * boringproxy * Ladder * Uptime Kuma * Gitea * Serverless container registry proxy * OwnTracks * transmission-openvpn

And rounding out the other end of our #pets brigade, here's our #dog Princess Toadstool "Peach" Grover, or just Peach for short. We've had Peach since she was a puppy. She's an old lady now (11) and we couldn't imagine our life with her. Bonus photo of Peach and our #cat Toad cuddling together.

A rite of passage on any new platform is to share pet pictures. I'd never been much for #cats but we've had this guy for almost a year and a half now and I can't believe how much we love him. His name is Toad, or Jarnathan Thaddeus Toad Grover, Esq., if you want to be formal.
