Oops, forgot to mention infosec.exchange on this week's podcast... sorry folks. I'm here! It's just very quiet around here so it slipped my mind.

If I was going to be on a Smashingly good podcast this week, what story should I cover? :) Suggestions welcome.

Today the Darknet Diaries episode I worked on for Jack went live on his Patreon just now. pinch me pinch meeee I got to work on Darknet Diarieeeeeees

... that moment when you're opening that Word doc attachment and instinctively nervous about it...

There's a bigger interest overlap between infosec & privacy folks and the artist community than I think a lot of people realize

On the off chance you are an artist making the move from Twitter and need help, I'm happy to help you figure this whole Mastodon thing out - please feel free to contact me.

In any case, Tumblr's TOS change purged basically the entire userbase. I'm curious if this is going to impact Twitter similarly, at least for certain communities (e.g. artists)

Twitter's latest TOS update seems poised to do a Tumblr-esque purge of artists and many of them are making the move to Mastodon instances. The main barrier seems to be understanding how Mastodon (& instances) work... that and building a new fanbase on a new platform is a slog and a half!

*waves at everyone*

Wow! Hi, new followers. I'm guessing you heard me on Smashing Security? :)
