@Viss @neurovagrant @mttaggart @NosirrahSec @tris Viss, you saved me a whole lot of time writing a much more concise answer than I could have!

Buttons, has nobody told you that you shouldn't try to eat anything larger than several times the volume of your entire body?

@benhencke So cute! Are you selling these?

Hey #Boulder folks. This Saturday at 10:30am at the Boulder Public Library main branch, I'll be moderating a panel discussion/town hall on public safety, organized by Colorado Assembly representative Junie Joseph.

The panel will include rep. Joseph, Boulder police chief Stephen Redfearn, Boulder county sheriff Curtis Johnson, and deputy DA Christian Gardner-Wood.

After the months of protests and the horrific molotov cocktail attack against demonstrators earlier this month, there's a lot on people's minds. This is a chance to ask questions directly to local Boulder law enforcement leadership, share your concerns, and for all of us to listen to one another.

If you're local, I hope you can attend.

There’s an active investigation into the access DOGE officials gained to federal IT systems. Fortunately, detailed documentation was kept by many along the way. More DOGE “resignations” are expected.

@malware_traffic There's some unknown but interesting C2 traffic going on to net 104.16.0.0/13 (on CloudFlare). An HTTP POST is sent every 30 seconds (see Gantt chart) with gz compressed data.

The C2 servers use domain names like:
🔥 event-time-microsoft[.]org
🔥 windows-msgas[.]com
🔥 event-datamicrosoft[.]live
🔥 eventdata-microsoft[.]live

They also use this trycloudflare.com domain:
🔥 varying-rentals-calgary-predict.trycloudflare[.]com

Anyone knows what malware this is?

@mc_frontalot there are nice barcades in Denver and Boulder if that's your jam

@campuscodi why is Cloudflare allowed to evade sanctions against doing business there?

Russian internet traffic to Cloudflare infrastructure has fallen by 30% after the country's communications watchdog started filtering traffic to the service.

This is the agency's way of telling local companies to switch from the provider before it gets fully blocked.

I had already basically written-off ever going back to the United States ever again, but these (repeated) stories of completely innocent travellers getting detained and deported are the nail in the coffin.

@heidilifeldman The USA has such deep structural/cultural issues with religion, dumbness, greed and cullibility that, as a European, I often feel frustrated beyond belief trying to "stand with you" fellow libs but I try to hang on...

The American fascist project has for over a decade drained your country's historical ability to help democracy movements around the world, and that is by design. UK's brexit (many same people behind it), PRC's crushing of Hong Kong's civil society and military expansionism, russia's invasion of Ukraine and renewed imperial belligerence, Burma/Myanmar freedom struggle, much of Africa under authoritarian rule, Netanyahu's Israel under attack and lashing out...

Democracy and civil liberties are under attack globally and the enemies feel increasingly emboldened, with china and russia the main instigators and providers.

All democracies since ca. 1990 are guilty of putting profits above values and empowering autocrats instead of using their then-powerful positions to prioritize democratic development. So here we are.

The despots are collaborating to save their despotic asses and they want democracy eradicated. Our democracies should finally wisen up to that fact.

“Your freedom and mine cannot be separated. ”

Nelson Mandela realised that. We should have listened.
