I believe that every major problem in the world today can be traced back to wealth inequality. The world needs a radical redistribution of wealth to fund UBI, universal healthcare, and free education.

Freedom, dignity, food, housing, healthcare, and education are fundamental human rights. Any society that fails to provide these for all of their citizens is a failed society.

Science works. Climate change is a real, accelerating existential threat to life on this planet. Covid is real and still an ongoing threat that can lead to long-term disability. Vaccines are one of our greatest inventions for eliminating needless misery and suffering. We need to stop normalizing ignorance.

I will not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, or bigotry of any type. I believe in open borders. Our differences make our society stronger and more vibrant.

I am an atheist. I respect your right to practice religion however you choose as long as it harms nobody else.

Don’t let other people stomp on your happiness. If it’s not hurting anybody, do the things that make you happy, even when others belittle them or say they’re uncool.

Being true to yourself is cool. Having a passion is cool. Finding joy is cool.

Weekends mean fresh baked muffins, and my recipe rules:

1/4 lb butter
1 cup honey
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 - 1.5 cups of your favorite add-in
(berries, [c]raisins, choc chips, etc)

Melt butter and stir together with honey
Mix in eggs and vanilla
Mix in sour cream and milk
Add dry ingredients and stir into an even batter (it’s ok if it’s a little lumpy)
Add your mix-ins and stir to distribute evenly throughout the batter

Spoon into greased muffin forms. This recipe makes roughly 48 mini muffins or 12 normal sized muffins. I will typically use paper baking cups for full-sized muffins.

Bake at 350F– 12-13min for mini muffins, 20-22 minutes for regular size (use wooden toothpick to test)

Usual recipes call for sugar instead of honey and this can be used, but honey adds more moisture and better flavor IMHO. Sour cream is the killer ingredient here for moistness though (you can use plain or vanilla yogurt instead of sour creamβ€”don’t add vanilla extract if using vanilla yogurt).

I’m an independent consultant specializing in Incident Response, Digital Forensics, and Expert Witness work. I’m passionate about Unix/Linux, having started my career as a Unix Sys Admin back in the 1980’s. You may have heard of me because of my training work with the SANS Institute or Antisyphon.

I went looking for a photo of Maddie’s beans. We have hundreds of Maddie photos but she is always hiding them from the camera.

Except this one. She’s just letting them all hang out here.

Obviously this toot is
@catsalad@infosec.exchange’s fault.

This is a message to anybody who has ever sent a message asking somebody to CW a post. What you are doing is a form of violence. You are invalidating what somebody is saying because of your personal sensibilities. And that is prejudiced and cruel.

Stop centering yourself in the conversation. If you can’t deal with the content, block and move on quietly. Or better yet lean in, get uncomfortable, and maybe you will learn something.

And before people start sea lioning me about hate speech postings, etc., we are obviously not talking about that. Because the response there is not a CW, it’s a Fediblock.
