Look what you made her do!

My attorney and wife,
@YeeHawClaire@mastodon.social , got so mad about the redistricting of #Texas's District 11 that she filed the paperwork to run for #USCongress today.

Update: Of course all campaigns need money. Here's her

Back home, and one of my #defcon regrets is my failure to buy some gear from @dirtcheapgeek@ioc.exchange and saying hi to @0x00string@infosec.exchange in person.

Another time.

Update: I passed my #defcon ham tech exam on my second attempt. Dope.

Apparently this lets me bounce stuff off the moon. Which is kinda all I want to do now.

Technically, my goal for this year’s #defcon was to take the ham technician exam. Technically, I have achieved that goal.

W/R/T #CVE

1) This is still a thing:
https://resist.bot/petitions/PWDDUS

Makes it easy to pester Congress about the CVE program.

2) I was reminded of this bit of Internet history:
https://www.pigdog.org/auto/digital_gar_gar_gar/shortfeature/605.html

It was written in 1999, about 3 months before CVE came on this scene. It’s snarky. But there was no DNS Fairy, either.

Las Vegas monorail is real pokey today for #defcon. Many minutes of delay before it leaves each station. Plan accordingly, public transit fans!
