@wdlindsy @Nonya_Bidniss Holy hell. I thought people would be repulsed by a Nazi, and just didn’t believe he was one. It turns out they recognized it, they just don’t fear it because they’re not going to be on the receiving end of the hate. They stand to gain from it.

@ryanc I got a mosfet to light up a cabinet once. Not for very long.

Just in case you ever need this in the future..

Actual wide-scale resistance groups operating under a repressive regime rarely look like what many movies have led you to believe.

What they look like are a lot of normal people who maybe lose a document, maybe forget to latch a gate, maybe take a little longer to do a task than they would otherwise.

It requires no command and control, no leaders, no connections to be compromised. For most, it is not the work of great measures, it is the thousand.. million.. cuts that grind the oppressor to a halt while never being something they can prove.

Think less about secret handshakes, and more about an unfortunately bad case of ADHD at an inopportune time.

I try not to focus on one topic too much. I know a lot of you follow me because of infosec, and I appreciate it.

But if you’re American, look at this and imagine for a moment that this was a map of where it is safe for you to go, and realize that’s becoming reality for some of us.

This is why we are scared.

@ryanc In the US I believe it is white (neutral), black (hot), red (signal) with Red to black normally floating, alarm signal is notionally+9VDC red to black but 7 to 20VDC in practice. White to black is 120VAC.

"Are you sure?" is something we say just before you do something that is going to cause a lot of pain, aggravation, or expense because of an assumption you've made somewhere deep, deep in the stack of assumptions that were made leading to this decision... and if you say “yes" we assume you are aware of it.

When you make a request and your autistic security engineers immediately say "Are you sure?”:

1) Stop
2) Repent.

@foone Before my name was Rabbit journalists kept asking me that and saying they couldn't cite me because I wouldn't let them use my legal name. Now it's my legal name and none have asked. I am disappoint.
