I feel like this security questionnaire is trolling me.

Q: Are AS/400s used to process, store data or used for scoped services?

A: We are not a hat factory in 1993.

To log into the Teams website on my Mac:

  1. Use Passwords to log into Okta.
  2. Use Okta Verify + Touch ID for MFA.
  3. Log into Teams with Okta.
  4. Install Microsoft Authenticator on my phone because Okta’s SSO isn’t enough for MS.
  5. Log into my work account in Microsoft Authenticator. (Bonus: typing an Okta password into some random app’s webview gives me the warm fuzzies!)
  6. Bounce to Okta Verify + Face ID on my phone for MFA.
  7. Scan the QR code on my Mac with my phone.
  8. Enter the 2 digit code shown on my Mac to double-plus authenticate with Microsoft Authenticator.
  9. As punishment for doing all this correctly, finally have to use Teams.

I might’ve broken my personal “rust target directory size” record.

From Flock wants the most detailed map of its surveillance cameras taken offline:

Michael told The Intercept that Flock’s recent claims about its data security record don’t reflect reality. Flock has publicly claimed multiple times that the company has never experienced a data breach, “and this was after I pulled their database of devices.”

  1. “If they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear”, right?

  2. What, they don’t like someone tracking their activities? Pfft.

I’m hiring security engineers to join me at Factory, and you should apply!

I’m looking for people who care deeply about their craft and want the freedom to shape their role around where they can have the greatest impact.

Here’s the general job description: factory.com/careers/s…

Treat the listed qualifications as guidelines, not a checklist. If you bring different strengths, I want to hear about them!

Onsite in San Francisco.

Today’s illegal political ad, paid for by taxpayers amidst economy-crippling stagflation, features an old man slumping down a hallway, bitterly remembering his favorite things he said over the course of his failed life, not realizing how small and weak they reveal him to be.

I just finished reading “Lonesome Dove”. I see why so many people say it’s their favorite: it’s near the top of my list now, too. Wow. I hate that I’d passed it by for so long. I had it in my head that it was a romance novel of some sort, like “the lonesome dove sought her true love in the American West” or such. And in a way, it is. Even more, it’s a brilliant exploration of hopes, fears, motivations, and survival in a brutal environment.

Go read it. It’s great.

The US government paid for a campaign ad for Trump, featuring — I am not making this up — a chorus singing “love me” repeatedly in the background.

The national debt is at record levels, the price of diesel is skyrocketing, inflation is making everyone poorer, and we’re wasting tax money running an ad for a tired old man to literally beg a country to love him.
