I just noticed that ../ looks like eyes and an outreaching arm, as if it's a victim drowning in quicksand.
I'm sure this is trenchant, somehow. cc @cR0w

Hey y'all don't sleep on this one.
**Agency Information Collection Activities: Vulnerability Reporting Submission Form**
#CISA wants to know what your ideal vulnerability reporting system would look like.
"CISA previously published this ICR in the Federal Register on October 30, 2024, for a 60-day public comment period. **CISA received one comment.** The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30-days for public comments."
Man, remember October, 2024? Things were looking pretty great back then. What a time to be alive.
Anyway, thanks for the extension, Kevin, ya big lug!

Last night at about 11:30pm, I took a practice ham radio Technician test. I fell asleep twice. I guessed most answers (I know jack all about radio, slightly more about electrical engineering). I got 63%.
I suspect I can study up enough in time to pass a the exam at @npub1dqdh...8xy4 ham .
Thanks to That Texas Country Music Guy at DC512 for encouraging this side quest!

It's not just me, right? Post-quantum crytography aka #PQC, especially quantum-resistant cryptography, smells an awful lot like snake oil.
I cannot figure out how people sell this stuff with apparent sincerity when it's clearly impossible to test in production.
Say, what's the first major-release film to mention either "the internet" or "the world wide web?"
(Or, alternatively, "DNS" or "SMTP" or "TCP/IP" or other uniquely internet technology, though that seems doubtful.)
And I mean mention as in, either in dialogue or printed and shown on screen in a newspaper or something.
There's a kind of [annoying reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/o98hkx/what_was_the_earliest_reference_to_the_internet/ ) about this that's not very helpful and is fixated on WarGames which definitely doesn't talk about the internet (all the comms in that movie are over dialup).
A timestamp reference would be just great if you have it.
