Welcome to volume twenty-nine of Scrolls, a newsletter for sharing cool stuff from the IndieWeb, Fediverse & Cybersecurity realms. This week we’re keeping it real on the web, navigating our social crises, and goin’ through the cyberlist.
Settle in, get cozy and start scrollin’!
IndieWeb
Who are you on the web? Do you keep it real or are you some other persona? Do you share openly or do you keep things close to the vest? Do you publish with confidence, or do you write with doubt? Don’t try to be something you’re not. You don’t need to push yourself beyond who and what you are. That way leads to burnout. Let yourself grow organically.
Afterall, your site is meant to be fun! It’s a place for you to express yourself and share the things you love most. But as I’ve said before, it really can be whatever you want. So what should you do next? Why not share what you’re up to right now! Or you can add some sidenotes to your articles. Try getting into your blogging rhythm by hosting an IndieWeb Carnival. Maybe you’re not feelin’ your site and you want a change of scenery. Go do it!
With so much you can and should do with your site, there’s always things you should just not do. Like, don’t use Substack, and don’t sloppify your site.
Fediverse
Social media might be a bit overplayed at this point. What we need now more than ever is community. But community doesn’t come without the effort it takes to build it. We need social networks that enable community-first principles. Mastodon may not be perfect in every technical aspect, but it’s living up to this crucial moment in time. So build and join communities on the Fediverse. Welcome the social media refugees who flee from elsewhere. We can do this!
Cybersecurity
It’s CYBERLIST time! (Fancy made-up word for a list of infosec stuff for you to check out…)
- The SDLC Infrastructure Threat Framework or “SITF” from Wiz is here to help protect your software pipelines.
- LOL! Now attackers are livin’ off of APIs.
- We know AI isn’t the most trustworthy, and maybe, fundamentally can’t be. But with The 3Cs, maybe it can be a bit more secure.
- Instead of AI, maybe we try looking inward when it comes to cyber defense.
- NTLM is dead!
- Yeah, wow. This post is an amazing Deep-Dive into Attacking and Defending Kubernetes.
Thanks for reading Scrolls! Now back to my various computerings… 👋
