The Internet Of Shitters

from here

The bathroom is probably not going to be a hub of cyber-hygiene. Hopefully those devices can be wiped clean.

Know Your Adversary

found on Ted Rall's blog

It's always important to know who your adversaries are and what their capabilities are so that you can formulate strategies for dealing with them.

I imagine there are those who think it's a bad idea to think of the police as adversaries, but I also imagine those people are privileged in some manner.

(And yes, I know that the Sun Tsu quote is normally "Know your enemy" but I'm not comfortable painting police with that particular brush because the consequences of that militaristic frame of reference are particularly undesirable.)

That Would Be A HUUUUGE Relief

from here

Hacking the election has been an ongoing theme online for the last little while, but I think I finally found a justification I can get behind.

Always Good Advice

It's especially good advice in actual prison, but even if you aren't it will still serve you well.

You're Spelling It Wrong!

from here

Thanks to Lesley Carhart for pointing out that ordinary people have some difficulty spelling arcane infosec terminology. Although fisting isn't one of the examples she mentioned, that type of typographical error (replacing one letter with another nearby on the keyboard) is among the most common spelling errors in general.

How Is TSA Screening Like A Pizza Parlor?

found on Zazzle

Would you believe I found this while looking for stuff about the TSA advertising jobs on pizza boxes? I wonder how many other intersections there are between the worlds of airport security and pizza.
