Chris Goggans, Bob Stratton and I were sitting at a nice sidewalk cafe when someone walked by and handed us postcards advertising the movie. It was a funny moment and I have that postcard somewhere. Always loved the movie for quirky homage that it was.

Remove references to the CFP that served as part of your LLM prompt that appear in your submission.

Focus your energy on one, maybe two submissions max and not half a dozen.

Don't submit without researching the history of your topic to ensure you aren't claiming a 20 year old framework as "new".

Sad to hear. Have known John since the 90's and early years of Cryptome and collaborated with him on one big endeavor. Also enjoyed getting him to come speak at our FedCyber event year ago.

It is the biggest reason I keep holding out for a refreshed Studio or Pro. It is killing me to keep running this Intel Mac though, so I might need an interim strategy.

Interesting comment from @hultquist.bsky.social: "There was a time when they'd come through a simple proxy or even directly from China, but now they're connecting through elaborate, ephemeral proxy networks... It's not uncommon for a Chinese cyberespionage intrusion to traverse a random home router"

My Facebook app on my phone has 3 notifications showing on the icon and I can't find them anywhere in the app to clear them. Like they want the false positive to draw me back into the application.
