Faccio cose

I help software developers secure their work supporting research and higher education.

Here you may find my occasional blog posts with DevOps recipes or example code in obscure programming languages.

Check out my other Mastodon for silly sketches and art generated using code.

Sporadic poster of funny things, bastion of obscure knowledge. Day job in #antispam & #cybersecurity. "AI" destroys education, trashes the environment, and depends on slavery. My posts are a blur of humor, nerdy tech news, and politics (which use #uspol so you can filter them out).

I work at @TalosSecurity but my posts only represent myself (and occasionally your mom).

I break software.

I like bikes and computers. Well, computers sometimes.

Just an old geek. Learned about computers on a CARDIAC (CARDboard Illustrative Aid to Computation). Then the math teacher at HS got an old Navy surplus computer with drum memory. It had a high speed optical paper tape reader. From there it was BASIC, Cobol, FORTRAN, CMS-2Y, Jovial, Ada. Did some Java and C but never got that good. In retirement learning Rust.
