I've always been most keen on understanding how offensive cyber is conducted in order to best defend against it. What programming I do is just to facilitate that.

Are you also interested or involved in cyber security?

Do you use reddit mostly through the app or web? in c/technology

Mostly mobile with Rif, desktop only with RES. Not only do I adblock heavily with uBlock, but I've got a piHole at home to filter ad sites via DNS

Hello to all. I'm yet another reddit refuge. Initially, I was quite bummed at the news about the API price out of the 3rd party apps that had made reddit at all usable. Having discovered Beehaw and Lemmy, I'm becoming quite glad. I'd already abandoned Twitter for Mastadon, but I never quite appreciated that the Fediverse was a thing until the Great Reddit Purge forced me to take a step back and re-evaluate my (digital) life.

I'm now quite glad those bastards are putting the last nail in that particular coffin. I've known the Internet from when it was young, and I remember the nettiquette of olde. This place has the feel of those days. It's nice and refreshing.

I'm an avid computer and cyber security geek with a love of reading, music, programming, sysadmining, teaching, and many other things. It's great to be here with ya'll, I'm excited to be part of this great community! :-)
