Starlink at the White House
muskwatch.com/i/159516805/star

" #Starlink, a satellite #internet provider owned by #SpaceX, has been installed on the #WhiteHouse campus...

bizarre arrangement that provides no clear #technical benefit, as internet speeds from Starlink’s satellites are easily outclassed by its terrestrial competitors. Jake Williams, a #cybersecurity expert... “It introduces another attack point,” Williams said. “But why introduce that risk?”

Something I wrote in the W3C Authentic Web Mini Workshop’s Zoom chat:


Another implicit assumption (flaw) that is often a part of "purely technical solutions" is the neglect or ignorance (innocent naïveté) of existing technical solutions.

A technical proposal should not be praised for what it claims to solve.

A technical proposal must be evaluated by what marginal difference or advantage does it provide over existing technologies.

Any technical proposal that ignores prior technologies is itself doomed to be ignored by the next technical proposal.


In addition to the slide presentations (links to come) in the mini workshop and Zoom verbal discussion which was minuted (link to come), there was a lot of very interesting discussion in the Zoom chat, which was not minuted. Sometimes such quick back & forth can help inspire summarizing of points which one had not previously written down.

I was encouraged by a fellow workshop participant to blog this one so here it is!

So, an #introduction, eh?

I'm a recovering #engineer, former CTO, security researcher, and ex-regulator for #ICSsecurity. I'm now the Director of Cyber Risk at Dragos and I teach (and write) for #SANS.

I've had a lucky career-- I've testified before the US Congress and several federal agencies (as well as a few other countries abroad) and have helped hundreds of industrial organizations improve their #OT security. I've helped write a handful of international standards and I have some strong opinions on what "good" looks like for ICS/OT.

I'll usually write/present on:
#cyberrisk #metrics #technical #standards #engineering #safety #auditing #industrial #ICS #IIoT #governance
...and whatever strikes my fancy. My focus over the past 5-10 years has been more board-level, but I spent a large part of my career in a hard hat trying to fix (and break) industrial systems.

That said, if anyone asks me "what do you do for a living?" I usually avoid talking about myself and instead deviate to more important things... like living a healthy, happy life and helping others where I can.

Oh, and memes. I shitpost memes about how absurd our small community can be some times.

Suppose I should give a re- #introduction for my second instance shuffle

- I'm a #technical #writer by day
- I #WriteTheDocs
- I work at #minio, the object store
- I like reading #fantasy and #sci_fi
- I'm a #dad to three
- I'm owned by two #cats (a tabby and a tuxedo); they were pandemic kittens
- I work from home, and like it that way
- I #knit things, mostly blankets
- I'm a Next Gen #Trekkie
- I watch #LOTR extended editions at least yearly
- I live in the mountains of north central Pennsylvania, and love it

There are many #introductions but this #intro is mine.

I'm a professional technical #generalist. I write #code, read code, research, discover problems, and develop solutions.

Been in some form of the computer industry starting in 1995. It's what pays the bills: Career trajectory was #dialup ISP #helpdesk ➡️ Corporate IT ➡️ firewall/IDS analyst ➡️ CERT/SOC #Technical #Leader ➡️ Cisco Talos Technical Lead.

For fun/enrichment/growth: I dabble in making #DJ mixes, #woodworking, #3dprinting /CAD, #circuit design, #music production, studying #Japanese language & culture, a little bit of a #coffee snob learning #latte art, I love to cook, and I make a bangin margherita #pizza.
