@catsalad@infosec.exchange I am thrilled to announce that I have recently navigated a high-pressure situation that required immediate, decisive action and a complete pivot in my personal resource management. This experience has taught me the importance of agility, rapid response, and the necessity of a fresh start when facing unexpected internal challenges. #GrowthMindset #Agility #Resilience #LessonsLearned
I’m humbled to share a major pivot point in my journey. 🍝💻💥
Today, I spilled spaghetti all over my laptop, resulting in a total hardware failure. While some might see a mess, I see a powerful lesson in resilience and the fragility of our digital infrastructure.
This experience says a lot about our society: we are often one "noodle" away from a complete system collapse. It’s a reminder to always have a disaster recovery plan, embrace the unexpected, and never stop hungry for growth (or pasta).
How are you future-proofing your workflow today? Let’s connect and discuss. 🚀

Tip on the side at 4:12 "Most homes burn because embers get inside the home and the home burns from within." ... "getting metal mesh over any openings in the eaves, over vent outlets, which can be like a $50 fix, will substantially improve the odds of your home making it through a wildfire."

When suffering feels everywhere, it’s easy to respond with panic, despair, or burnout.
This Dharma talk explores a Zen koan for our time: how inner stability allows compassion to become sustainable action.

Eternal props to @jurgentje for turning “#resilience and #dependency” from abstract terms into a visual that makes the reality impossible to miss.
#Signal seems to be down, so this is a good moment to consider if you have backup comms channels with people you care about.
A Signal Contingency Plan, if you will:
https://signal-contingency-plan.info/
I agree with the recommendation there and am working on making Delta Chat @delta that kind of backup channel for me and mine.
However, if you have enough land or the side of a deck, maybe solar panels would be a good idea.
Last song for my #20favevideos and perhaps the most influential in my life (and most helpful).
A teenage boy with ripped clothing is alone in a house picking through piles of rubble and debris. His little dog jumps around excitedly as if this were all a game. The boy picks out things he treasures and one by one he shows them excitedly to the camera. But now and then he holds lovingly in his hands a framed sepia-toned portrait of a man from the 1930s or 40s and stares off in deep reflection and melancholy. Was it his father? His grandfather? Then he’s playing joyfully again with his toys. We see a whole wall and several windows have been blown out of the house, most likely by a tornado or hurricane, as cows can be seen grazing nearby. Again he lies on the floor holding the portrait in reflection, reaching up to pet his dog. The video ends with him dancing and practicing skateboarding tricks in what was once his bedroom.
An incredible, profound video of resilience in the face of incredible loss, and continuing with life despite losing nearly everything and everyone.

What would #JohnBrown do?
I think one of the things would be to create an intense enough tradition of #AntiRacism & #AntiFascism within his family and community, that it would be considered a religion by outside observers. #JoanMastodon could be its prophetess.
Another would be to secure mountain property to act as a refuge of resilience.
#Resilience is an act of #Resistance
It is going to take all the #resilience and #spiritualstrength we can muster—thus #spiritualwarriorhood—to become a wise and worthy #opposition whenever #Project2025 policies come forward, intended to displace #democracy w/ government by the few & monied & powerful. https://bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

Proprietary protocols are a security risk.
Proprietary protocols necessitate vendor lock-in.
When you commit your design to proprietary protocols, you lose the freedom to shop for lower cost products.
You’re stuck with the vendor’s availability and deliverability schedule.
If another vendor comes to market with a desirable feature, you can’t buy their product or use that feature until your proprietary protocol vendor includes it in their product – which may be a long time, if the feature is protected by a patent.
You’re stuck with the vendor’s schedule for firmware updates and CVE patches.
RECOMMENDATION
Your risk analysis should include an inventory of hardware, software, AND protocols.
Recommend the redesign of any system with proprietary protocols.
In the short term, before redesign is complete, update your Incident Response plan, growth plan, and spares inventory to minimize crises.
CEOs: Ask your CISO, CIO, or systems architect, “Do we rely on any proprietary protocols?” And if they don’t immediately know the answer, it’s time to find out.

Puis mon père est venu me rejoindre, et ensemble nous avons joué cette mélodie.
Un moment simple, plein de chaleur, de musique et de pluie.
J'espère que vous apprécierez cette chanson autant que nous l'avons ressenti."

#PuertoRicans are devising the #FoodSystem of tomorrow
by Ayurella Horn-Muller, September 3, 2025
Excerpt: "In the wake of #HurricaneMaria, many residents of #PuertoRico, especially those working to improve the archipelago’s local food system, began to think about hurricane preparedness differently. Because they weren’t able to rely on federal assistance, they decided to build their own prototypes of #resilience, which didn’t just set them up to be ready for the next storm, but also set them up to live better everyday lives. #Cooperatives, #gardens, and school-based agricultural programs emerged to fill the gaps left by the government. #Barter networks and local farmers markets have become increasingly popular. #MutualAid kitchens and community-led supermarkets have also expanded their work, ramping up donations, surplus food, and partnerships with nearby producers. These projects aren’t just temporary disaster responses. They are models of long-term resilience and food independence. They are living blueprints of what food sovereignty could look like in Puerto Rico — and elsewhere."

CISA’s new venue guides provide a structured, non-prescriptive approach to physical security and dependency disruption planning.
They emphasize:
-Risk-based assessments
- Scalable security options
- Cross-sector dependencies (energy, water, comms, transport)
- Collaboration over compliance
How effective do you find voluntary frameworks compared to regulatory controls in physical and cyber-physical security?

Winter weather – power failures – what’s a good design?
In theory – in a perfect world – the backup batteries only need to last long enough for the generator(s) to start up and stabilize with the load of your choice. But, in the real world, the backup batteries should hold the system up in the following scenario:
1. Power goes out.
2. Batteries/UPS take the load.
3. Power failure alarm is issued to the technician on call.
4. Generator fails to start.
5. Generator failure alarm is issued to the technician on call.
6. The tech on call requests service from the generator maintenance contract company.
7. The generator company rolls a truck.
8. The generator service person identifies the problem, repairs it, and starts the generator.
If continuous operation through a power failure is the goal, I design battery/UPS systems for a minimum six hours of run time, and if the generator company has to roll a truck that’s really not enough. Six hours is only enough if you have in-house technicians on call who live close to the monitored system.
If it’s impractical to support a system with the appropriate amount of battery capacity for a generator repair, then the solution is a second generator. If, and only if, the system is protected with a second generator, is it feasible to reduce the battery capacity. Keep in mind that battery capacity decreases over the life of the battery, or with temperature variations, etc. Also, equipment gets added over time, so if the system is built with marginal capacity (generator startup and RPM stabilization), then when you have an outage six months or a year after initial installation, the batteries may no longer be adequate.
Design with lots of margin, not just to load transfer time.

After 2 years of war in Gaza, universities begin to reopen, offering hope: "Our buildings were destroyed, but our will was not." - ABC News (2025-12-10)
>> Before Oct. 7, 2023, Gaza had 17 higher-education institutions, comprising hundreds of buildings. Today, most of these facilities are in ruins, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education.
>> More than 100 university buildings were destroyed during the war, while roughly 200 university employees were killed, the education ministry said. The devastation has raised doubts about whether higher education could resume at all. But at Al-Azhar University in #Gaza, the administration and some students told ABC News they are determined not to let the war erase an entire generation's future…

If you're living with a chronic illness, it's perfectly OK to feel sorry for yourself: it's a reasonable reaction to a difficult situation, and sometimes it's important just to sit with that feeling for a while.
But don't be afraid to make room for other feelings in your life too, including love, joy, empathy, kindness, and gratitude. Our illnesses are part of our lives, but there's a lot more to us. ❤️
“We didn’t have the technology or the staffing to meet the needs of how catastrophic this fire was,” Kathryn Barger, the county supervisor who represents Altadena, put it to me bluntly. “The notifications were a failure.”
