I used to run links.dartboard.social, but decided it was too much work for a single user instance.

I microblog at @knova@lostcreek.social.

  • This is cool to see. I tried my hand at running an instance most of last year but threw in the towel this past January. It was just me and 1-2 other active users and none of this software is wide spread enough to have a good solid support community. I really appreciate the people out there dedicating their time and other resources to making this work. (Truthfully, I didn’t put a ton of thought into how and where I was hosting my instance before inviting others to sign up, which is on me, and I think is what ultimately came back to haunt me down the line - my GoToSocial instance is much healthier, for example)












  • Wondering how I can best spend my time in a vast universe of infosec knowledge.

    I feel like a lot of learning websites are geared towards pentesting, because it is a very active / immediate skillset - if you do things right, you’ll get a flag.txt or something. I guess I’m just looking for something that isn’t just watching videos or plugging away at Jeopardy style learning (HtB, Try Hack Me). But I’m also a bit directionless at the moment - there’s so much to learn and I don’t know which way to go.

    Edit: decided to peruse some of the older topics for immediate gratification, came across your great guide here - https://shellsharks.com/getting-into-information-security - problem is I do a lot of this stuff already. I think I need to figure out my own direction.
