Heading down to Raleigh for tonite's 2600.
Already planning on my dinner.
Looking forward to good conversation and decent food.

Oh, wow! You built a "Matrix-themed" #AI #hacking game? How original! 
Don't forget to "hack the planet" while you're at it!

So I have been pretty quite.. I have been busy and I have been protecting my mental health. Sometimes this place is great.. sometimes its doom scroll. My CTF presentation is completed and my Hacker Mindset deck is coming together as well. Keep moving forward. #Cyber #privacy #HackThePlanet
A Message from Sasha: BSidesPGH Wants YOUR CFPs!
HELLO, HUMANS. It is I, Sasha the Dancing Flamingo, here to remind you that while you’re busy procrastinating on filing your taxes, there’s something WAY more important to submit before April 15:
YOUR CFP FOR BSidesPGH!
That’s right. You have something to say about security, #hacking breaking things (ethically), fixing things, or social engineering your way into a VIP party—and I want to hear it.
Submit here: https://sessionize.com/bsidespgh-2025
WHY SHOULD YOU SUBMIT?
Because the world needs your unique hacker brain. Because the cyberflock thrives on diverse voices. Because talking at @bsidespgh makes you 73% cooler (scientific fact). Because I, Sasha, demand it.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
#OSINT, #DFIR, Threat Hunting, Cyber Deception (aka how to outsmart humans and machines).
Red Team, Blue Team, Purple Team, “Wait, Which Team Am I On?”
Security Fundamentals (because SOME humans still think TCP is encrypted). Unique Hacks, Wild Research, “I Can’t Believe This Worked” Stories.
Anything involving birds. (Don’t make me regret saying this.)
First-time speaker? EVEN BETTER. We LOVE first-timers. Need speaker coaching? We’ve got you. Your voice belongs here.
DON’T WAIT UNTIL 11:59PM ON APRIL 15.
I know how you humans work. You’ll be frantically hitting submit while also cursing at your tax software. Don’t be that person. Submit early. Be a responsible hacker.
SUBMIT NOW: https://sessionize.com/bsidespgh-2025
The #CyberFlock needs you. I need you.
Now go forth, and submit your CFP. Or else. (Just kidding. Probably.)

BSidesPGH CFP: File Your Talks Before Tax Day!
Attention, hackers, tinkerers, security misfits, and cyberflamingos!
You know what’s coming on April 15? That’s right—Tax Day. But let’s be real, filing your CFP for @bsidespgh 2025 is way more fun than filing your taxes. (And way less likely to get audited.)
Submit here: https://sessionize.com/bsidespgh-2025
Why Should You Submit?
Because you have something to say. Because the world needs more chaotic good security knowledge. Because sharing your knowledge is way more satisfying than giving Uncle Sam your money. Because this is your chance to contribute to an event built by the community, for the community.
First-time speaker?
We love first-time speakers. Never spoken at a con before? Great! We’ll help. Need coaching? We’ve got you. Your voice belongs in security, and BSidesPGH is where people like YOU get started.
What We’re Looking For:
Red teaming, blue teaming, purple teaming—hell, even chaotic neutral teaming.
OSINT, DFIR, threat hunting, breaking things (ethically, of course). Security fundamentals (because let’s be honest, some people need a refresher).
Unique takes, niche topics, weird hacks—if it’s cool, we want it. Sasha the Flamingo personally approves of hacking birds, bird hacking, and social engineering pigeons.
Submit your talk NOW: https://sessionize.com/bsidespgh-2025
Don’t wait until the last minute! Because submitting at 11:59 PM on April 15 while also cursing at TurboTax is not the hacker life we want for you.
Hey Chooms! Tonight I have a special treat I'm sharing through the #Veilid network: the very difficult to find 1990 underground punk film, Terminal City Ricochet!
This is also on the Internet Archive, but I wanted to share it as it's kind of a special film for hackers.town, as a few townies helped get it ripped and properly preserved online! It also stars Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys (who spoke at The Last HOPE in 2008 as their keynote speaker) and Joe Kiethley of the punk band D.O.A.!
I'll be seeding it overnight through Veilid! Grab it using distrans!

Enjoy, my Chooms! And don't forget to #KeepCirculatingTheTapes! 
The old methods of dealing with anti-democratic forces have failed. Congress is not going to save us. The courts are not going to save us. Voting is not going to save us.
We need a new playbook to actually fight corruption and greed - the root causes of our current situation.
Here are Five Actions to Save Democracy, that you can start right now.
https://billhunt.dev/blog/2025/03/02/five-actions-to-save-democracy/
There was a *lot* of critical work done at #18F. I'm trying to capture the most universally useful documents over on my policy website - I've started with De-Risking Government Technology Guide.
PRs of other documents welcome!
Happy Cyberpunk Day to all who celebrate! On this date in 1990, the US Secret Service raided Steven Jackson Games seizing 300 floppy disks including the GURPS Cyberpunk TTRPG in connection to a Bell South memo describing how their 911 service was implemented. The USSS was sued and ordered to pay $300k in damages and court fees for the illegal raid. #hackThePlanet

The two hardest problems in computer science are:
1) hacking a Gibson, and
2) naming things.
