Description:

Recently been talking a lot about the OWASP Top 10 and have created some slides and a 90 min talk on it!So if want to raise up your security, this is a great place to start.For the last 4 months I have taken what could be seen as extreme; blocking a few hundred thousand people on Twitter. This has led, in the last week to a few people asking or pointing out that they are blocked and wondering why I chose them.The reality is I probably did not block them, I blocked someone else (lets call them the aggressor) and using a tool I wrote, I block the agressor and all their followers and so while I've actively blocked a few hundred agressors it balloons to hundreds of thousands of followers.Twitter, is for me, a place I go to hang out with people I like, to learn from them and hear their stories. Twitter, for me, is my cocktail party; except it is getting gatecrashed by the altright, racism, sexism, and nationalists. People I do not want at my cocktail party. It has caused me to have too many shitty experiences so I now have a bouncer.I have taken the view that if someone follows a problem, the chance that they are problematic themselves is higher than I am willing to risk. It is not consistant, actually the larger the the account less likely it is to be accurate. Donald Trump is a beautiful example, so many people follow him for some many reasons that while I do not agree with Trump, to block all his followers is not going to work.Still visibleTwitter block is lovely in that you can still view my thoughts, just open a private tab in your browser. It merely makes the cost to interact with me higher - which is ideal, increasing the cost means that either someone needs to be determined to be a jerk, easier to manage, or they really value the interaction. I can handle those edge cases easier.PrivateWhy not make my account private? I tried this but it makes engagement impossible; it is not a good long term plan.BubblesThe "engage me" crowd like to say blocking creates echo chambers where you cannot learn anything and I agree if someone does this everywhere - but Twitter is merely one of many places I engage and learn. I choose to have Twitter be fun and a cocktail party. I choose other places to learn.You may have different views for how you use Twitter and that is great for you and we will agree to disagree.UnblockWant to be unblocked? Drop me an email or get someone I know to DM me and check who you follow since you are influenced by the people you spend with, so do not spend time with horrible people.I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I love to cook and so I am often in there with my phone listening to a podcast or, if it is a Saturday morning, watching Show of the week. I am not alone in this behaviour, everyone in my home does this and often at dinner we share youtube videos by propping a phone up on the toaster and huddling around it. This was clearly time to improve the experience with a kitchen screen - a smart TV would be perfect but their lack of support means it is a show stopper for me... so I put together a smarter screen.Build ListPowering this is a Raspberry Pi 4. I grabbed the 4Gb model, just cause... I don't have a smart reason for that decision. If you are in South Africa, I grabbed mine from PiShop and grabbed the essentials kit. Putting together the "case" was maybe the most head-scratching aspect since it is just screws, plastic and a fan... no instructions.Also ordered from PiShop was the remote control since I want this to be like a TV, I do not want a keyboard or mouse. I opted for the OSMC Remote Control which has a small USB dongle and uses radio signals rather than infrared, which means it does not need line of sight. Since the Pi will be behind the screen, the line of sight will be an issue. The remote "just worked" which was so awesome.For the screen, I ordered a LG 24MK400H which was the perfect side for my needs, wall-mountable and on special
