Black Hot ​ @remotenemesis@hackers.town

Hey yo newbies on hackers.town and beyond. Permit me to #reintroduction myself if you will.

I have a 1 in 6 chance of detecting secret doors and a pick lock skill of 10%. I'm probably talking about old-school D&D and totally not #infosec.

I enjoy slinging code, especially C and sometimes C++ although I mostly #golang for $daygig.

Update: Currently learning #rust because I don't wanna do #golang anymore.

My stack of unfinished projects includes a Mastodon client for the #Amiga, a side-scrolling shmup on SDL2, most of the first draft of a bad fantasy novel and so many unfinished CTFs.

Currently lost in the endless beyond of #NoMansSky

Rarely lewd but a bit sketchy on CWs.

Today is a good day to update Zoom

Don't just delete facebook. Consider all of your social media exposure very carefully.

You may think you have nothing to hide, but data is forever. Make sure you protect yourself from whatever the present and the future may want to hold against you.

Clearly this is a personal choice.

I want my compute to be a tool. Sometimes a weapon. Never an appliance.

My whole day is pretty much "computer says no", which is a polite way to say "try harder".

Can I deploy the EMP now?

Today I made sure a non binary player felt included and represented in the game world I ran. It cost me nothing but the player made an excited exclamation about representation.

The grognards are wrong. Here’s to the small companies doing better.

Thank you Ray Liotta for Goodfellas. You were born to bring us a brilliant rendition of a charismatic and unhinged Henry Hill.

Thank you.

Here’s to the people who want your attention right until something better comes along.

I had a weird encounter with a shifty dude in a leather trench coat in downtown Santa Cruz, CA. He was prowling around as if hustling. He asked partner and I if we knew where to get pizza.

He gave off I wanna sell you drugs vibe after the event. But also gen x cop vibes. Is this a thing? It was odd.

Passed him walking a few minutes later near the pizza place. He didn’t have pizza.

Friendly life pro tip I'm enjoying today:

You don't have to show up to every argument you're "invited" to.

Spend wisely.
