OK bitlocker recovery key now on USB stick rather than relying on AD.

Time to head to work early to try and rebuild my laptop for the 3rd time.

Agh. New image, then windows reboots all by istelf, and lo, new bitlocker pin, still not in AD. Aggh. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. I'm going home. I'll try this tomorrow.

And I re-enabled secure boot before the bitlocker recovery key made it into AD. *sigh* Time to reimage again.

Time to blow away the laptop again today, because I broke VS2017 badly.

Alright #infosec friends, I'm throwing out a beacon.

I'm participating in a hackathon tomorrow and the team I'm on had decided to attempt some sort of IoT malware detection system. Any papers, concepts, ideas, etc. would be amazing. The team lead is fairly up on infosec but I am not so I need help lmao.

And now to be Jeb Bush: pls boost

In non-infosec toots I'm seeing Radiohead tomorrow night, and you're probably not, so I'm cooler than you.

So the BBC international streaming service, britbox, just added all the proper dr who. There's my weekend gone.

Hurrah, it's time to spend the next week writing security advisories.

This is what happens when you leave mastodon open overnight.

Tomorrow I pop into the local uni to drop off my transcripts from when I was young to start an MSc. It's been so long since I studied, and it was another country so it's a whole new paper format to learn. Bah. An *american* one.

My schoolboy french is so not keeping up with the federated timeline.

I feel unimportant without my verified tick. If only because it annoyed so many of my coworkers at MSFT on twitter :D
