Considerations on "Salt Typhoon" - what it is (and probably is not), and thoughts on unsubstantiated or at least undetailed linkages to other threat actors:

Google inks another massive solar power deal to electrify its data centers https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/19/google-inks-another-massive-solar-power-deal-to-electrify-its-data-centers/

@Viss @maldr0id Honestly curious what they’ll say given it’ll likely foreshadow a number of things that’ll really impact the field, probably for the worse

Read about actual grid operations and outages instead of BS “expert” opinion and wild ass speculation: https://eepublicdownloads.entsoe.eu/clean-documents/pre2015/publications/ce/otherreports/20040427_UCTE_IC_Final_report.pdf

*wakes up*
“Ok, time to start day one of RSA”
*checks news, sees reports on Iberian outage*
“Mother of god”

OH at #RSAC: “I’ve been behind enemy lines!”

@Viss just hard to juggle multiple platforms but I realize I need to "be here" too

OK, trying to be active here again - I'll be at RSA next week, if you're around let me know!

Satya, one week ago: "The vodka-infused shitheads had access to my fuckin' inbox for TWO MONTHS??? DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!"

Today: M365/Teams are bassically unusable

@Viss fuck i keep getting confused

@Viss excellent description. That earns a Billy Dee Williams clapping gif, except I can't post a gif here.

@nohackme More of an indictment of lack of tracking and awareness AMIRITE??? _ducks_

@tarajdactyl Generally SE Michigan (e.g., Detroit area + Ann Arbor, but not Detroit exurbs) should be ok, plus Lansing area (again avoiding exurbs). Otherwise Grand Rapids proper and MAYBE Traverse City.... good luck!

any trans folks in Michigan out there? talk to me. where's the best place in the state for a queer family?

MI is the closest state with trans friendly state laws.

anybody have any suggestions for trans groups there or other resources?

many bonus points for areas that are walkable and/or transit friendly, as there are members of my family that don't drive.

who did it better?

Love seeing this nonsense on The Other Place.

The degrees of ignorance and stupidity displayed by this sort of shit - from lack of awareness on what it takes to qualify as a Marines DI through how training is less about bending to brute force than it is honing understanding to discipline nad orders - is absolutely astounding.

Finally, the right wing edgelord behind this post not only never served, but probably would have been turned down by USMC or any other selective enlistment or commissioning source given this kind of shit.
