The Yes/No Game

Yes. It's sort of refreshing that it does. Social media is pretty focused on people you know (groups aside). I actually don't like most social media anyway. I mostly use it to let friends know what's happening and to arrange things with them.

Do you have a preference for one social platform?
 
No, not anymore. I used to really like twitter because it was a cross section of infosec and local for me. when it went to hell i tried mastadon, bluesky, threads...the problem is that threads and bluesky are too local and mastadon because of the server i picked is too infosec...instagram/facebook are broken timeline feeds...i use snapchat a lot but that's more of a messenger...and tiktok a lot but don't create content or comment/message...just consume.

do you ever wonder what it was like before all the interconnectivity?
 
Sometimes I do. I'm happy without it at least for shortish periods. We had a power cut this afternoon for a few hours and I just curled up in front of our log burner with a book. Bliss lol

Do you read much?
 
no, not so much. Not books anyways. I used to read a lot but I don't have the focus anymore. It's like gaming...too single tasking for me. I end up reading a lot of new, tech blogs, conversations, security content, etc to keep my mind sharp on reading...but not books....despite working at a library for 7 years.

do you listen to podcasts?
 
Yes, but...podcasts and audiobooks for me are a car thing. Cause it passes the time...any other time i'm doing too many other things to want to listen

do you sent postcards when you travel?
 
I don't...anymore...i think the last time i wrote one was back in the late 90s when my computer blew up...i had to write letters to my friend in Tel Aviv. We met in a chat room and we've been friends since.

Do you write fiction?
 
Yes...and it changed every few months. I ultimately couldn't decide what i wanted to spend any amount of post secondary education where it didn't feel like i was wasting money or time...so i just didn't. It worked out...in the end.

Do you have your parental support?
 
My Mum supports everything I do. Her boyfriend taught me to climb properly and supports my choices too so aye I have plenty of support.

Did you get plenty of support?
 
Given, yes. Took? Not always. My parents supported me in so much that they provided me with a place but it came with a lot of judgment for not going to school after graduating. To this day my mom insists that I go back to school....when I'm at a point in my career where no schooling would cover the niche market i work in.

does post school education involve moving for you?
 
Yes. Well, I work from home with flexibility to work from anywhere as long as I'm working within this timezone's business hours. Some of my trips are working holidays where I go and work from where ever i'm visiting. The next goal is to work asynchronous so that the timezone doesnt matter...it's the work getting done. Go contract you say? no thanks...i don't relish at the idea of chasing work. This way i'm fully billable and just produce results when I get it done, regardless where in the world i am.

do you plan to move countries?
 
Yes, legally. There's a lot of legal issues that come about from AI. It was never anything discussed by SciFi because the utopian futures they wrote about didn't have much greed in the way AI capitalists do now.

have you played with AI much?
 
Yes, sometimes. I use it to write queries for me. Luckily I don't have to provide it with any specifics.

Do they have any sort of policy around it for school?
 
I personally don't at my college that I'm aware of - plagiarism results in an instant fail though, so I suppose if an assignment was proven to be AI written it might count as plagiarism?

Did you have a Thanksgiving meal with family or friends?
 
wait...we fucked up in a whole new way this time...

yes...the closest is at least a 12 hour drive...anything good is another hour and a half more by ferry and another 4 hours of driving.

can you believe we fucked up in a whole new way?
 
No, I'd consider patience to be one of my more redeeming features, of which there are few.

Did you consume alcohol within the past 72 hours?
 
Yes, but depending where I am in the country it can taste anything from good, to bleach, to something that's come out of a dishwasher so I prefer bottled

Do you eat tuna?
 
Yes, absolutely. There's one island especially that I'd love to live on

Would you live in a big city like London or New York?
 
Yes. I've done some basic mountain survival training.

Could you navigate your way through a wilderness with only a map and compass?
 
No but when we do the roads stop working and the country grinds to a halt

Do your train tracks melt when it gets too hot?
 
I have been in lots of movies as an extra.


Would you eat only Frito pie 🥧 for one straight month?
It's has just this only Fritos, chilli, and shredded cheese.


Frito pie.
Yum!
 
Respectfully, if that's how you're having your Frito pie, you're doing it wrong. I could eat a proper Frito pie for a month straight if need, but not what you just described without an ounce of veg on top.

Do you procrastinate?
 
I don't. Along with stress...i don't really fear things. get concerned, maybe...but not phobia like fears.

Can you believe i have a headache right now that isn't forum related?
 
I used to and then they stopped. I went to a neurologist and got a cat scan...to a dental specialist...all sorts...they never figured it out...and then they stopped. lately...almost never.

Do you have any chronic ailments?
 
Yes. Sardines and Anchovies are about the only thing that I do not like to eat. But if it came to starvation ... anything I can digest is on the menu.

Have you ever eaten at a friends house and the food was in appetizing but you ate it so you didn't seem ungrateful?
 
I don't. There aren't any good lakes around me....wait...i do own an inflatable kayak that's never been used.

do you have a favorite mode of transport?
