#introduction I am a #NetworkEngineer with over 9 years of experience in general IT, and just recently passed my #CCNA R/S exam. I’m currently studying for CCNA #Security. I’ve been very interested in #infosec for over a year now. My current security experience is with #firewalls, patch management, and general IT Security. Always looking to learn and grow and that’s one of the many reasons I joined Mastodon!
Do all security firms market like this? 😂

Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare. ~ Audre Lorde
Just got my Neon Moon Tarot deck in from @PixelOccult !!!!
Did a simple Past, Present, Future spread and damn... some harsh draws.
Hahaha :) This is the most honest, cutting, enlightening, and appropriate deck I’ve ever had.
I am so, so, so excited to have a #cyberpunk, #hacker, technological #tarot deck.

Used my recovery day to do a little geek tinkering, and now my calendar and contact list are being served up to my phone via nextcloud rather than Google.
I like to post about this stuff not just because it interests me, but I feel like people need to hear that these sorts of privacy enhancing shenanigans are possible for less technical users.
I'm not an IT person. At best I'm an enthusiast that can read documentation. I got it done, maybe you can too.
TIL about tmux.

It’s April Fool’s Day.
Log off all social media. Today is going to be a shitshow.
Ok. The book thing looks to be a go. I’ve got five or six chapters to write for my part. Goal is for both of us to finish by the summer.
Not even worried about finding a publisher, etc. Just gonna get words on paper.
I’m decent at telling a story, but damned if I suck at writing. We’ll see how it goes!

And basically every other book on the cyber cannon

Some pre-Mastodon fediverse participants want credit, but as best as I can tell previous implementations were content to be obscure and inaccessible to a non-technical audience.
You can't live in your moat for years then get mad when gay witches and furries make something that's actually inviting to people who don't live and breath code.
I tried the previous thing. Nobody talked about stuff I was interested in. Sorry for not namedropping you when I talk about my new social media home but I only have 500 c
