@rtwx @bb010g @dzuk @bootsy @nightpool @kaniini @Sir_Boops I did start one, but it didn't get used so I killed it. Seems a waste for the sake of the occasional conversation.

Maybe a telegram group or something?

@mike 20mb jesus christ!

@mooshoe @colomar ah, I'm with you now. 👍

@mooshoe of course, but it's also a social platform. Free software is a common interest we all share, but it shouldn't define the entire instance.

@colomar

@mooshoe also, if they are, report them to @mike and myself and we can review.

@colomar

@mooshoe I agree with @colomar. I think people are entitled to talk about politics and their personal life if they want. However, if it starts to dominate the timeline, we may need to re-think.

If people are consistently doing it, there's always the block button. 👍

183 days since last Christmas. 182 days until next Christmas... #justsaying

@popey I used to like you. Now, not so much! 😁

@RyuKurisu could well be, yeah. I also checked after this and it's actually 2 months since I deleted my fb account, not 3 (which is the requirement for them to delete all data).

Its not so much that the photo still exists that concerns me, as, let's be honest, I don't think any of my data will actually be deleted from fb.

What concerns me is that the pic was sent via private message, yet its publicly available for all to see if they have the link.

@DatTux two things I try not to talk about - religion and politics. Sorry. 😉

@BruteNerd everyone wants to go in to either pen testing, or red team when they start out, as it's seen as the coolest/most interesting roles. They're also the most difficult to do well.

There are so many different jobs out there in InfoSec. Data/event analysis (zzzzzz), cyber threat Intel, malware analysis, dim/dar, incident response, network security, threat hunting, pen testing, red team. The list almost endless.

Good luck!

@mike

@BruteNerd as @mike said, I work in InfoSec. Like you I pivoted (kind of) a few years back. I was an IT generalist too, then moved in to networking and security around 8 years ago. I've since moved away from networking and now work solely in security.

Is there a particular part of security you'd like to go in to? Also, no, you're not too old.

@steckerhalter I disagree. I think it's people's greed that does this, not "the system". The system just takes advantage of that greed IMHO.

@AndrzejL haha I don't think this would qualify as responsible disclosure! 😂

So I've just been doing some testing with a friend of mine. It seems that Facebook allows users with the correct url to browse images sent via pm without authentication.

E.g. My Mrs sends a picture to her mum, if I have the correct link, I can see the image even though I don't have a Facebook account.

Case and point; below is a link to an image I sent to a friend of mine via PM. Also, I deleted my Facebook account 3 months ago!

Ran out of chars, see next toot for link...

@mikebabb nice work! Did you port your WP theme over to Jekyll, or did you create a new theme?

Some deep and meaningful thoughts whilst I was on holiday.

What do you guys think?
