My path through security has been unusual, so I've run in to some unusual solutions to problems. Some feel so intuitive that it's hard for me to believe they're unique. But I'm realizing they may be worth writing up and sharing.

This seems like an appropriate place to share my first write up, but, if not, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Here's a quick overview on using table top exercises to verify runbooks. Feedback is always welcome, especially editing (grammar, typos, and the like).

This is less related to actually existing "AI" and more about one of the myths (or, ultimately, the constellation of myths) that drives people to work on "AI." I posted this on Mastodon, but it probably belongs here as well.

I posted this to Mastodon a while back, but I'm realizing I should probably drop this here too.

Fractal Anarchism already has spiritual elements and seems to align well with the cultpunk manifesto.

Reticulum is a network that runs over various mediums. It supports communication over the internet, hidden internet services (I2P), and radio (packet radio and LoRa). It can be either disaster resilient or hidden, depending on the use case.

It could provide a good layer for discovery and coordination.

Hex characters 0-F don’t visually provide any information about the underlying binary. I can’t tell from reading 0-F representations of hex if a specific bit is set or not. It’s necessary to convert to binary to notice things like parity set to odd/even/none. But raw binary isn’t compact enough to easily look at.

Kaktovik Hex is a compact binary and hex representation based on some of the ideas behind Kaktovik Inupiaq. It supports the same visual arithmetic as Inupiaq, but also supports things like visual XOR. The bits of each nibble are represented as either | (for ones), V (for 2), or empty (for 0). The lower two bits are on the bottom, the upper two are rotated on the top. Every symbol can be written without lifting a pen.

This is a great overview of organizing for anyone who has been afraid to try. It's from a while ago, but it is always relevant.
