- Reposted by Siggi Bjarnason (he/him)The schedule for BSides Reykjavik 2026 is live at cfp.bsidesreykjavik.com/2026/schedule/ Other details at bsidesreykjavik.com. Remember tickets are still available both for the workshops and the conference.
- Reposted by Siggi Bjarnason (he/him)A surprisingly large percentage (like around 50%) of accepted talks aren't confirming their acceptance. Either no response or "sorry, not going to be able to travel." If you submitted a talk, please check the status at cfp.bsidesreykjavik.com/2026/me/subm...
- Reposted by Siggi Bjarnason (he/him)Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469. Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by. It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.

- Reposted by Siggi Bjarnason (he/him)Please join us in welcoming and thanking Palo Alto Networks as this year's Gold sponsor. Words can not adequately express our gratitude. They are clearly very invested in supporting the Icelandic cybersecurity community and want to ensure it is informed and well educated.
- Reposted by Siggi Bjarnason (he/him)We are just waiting for speakers to confirm their acceptance before we release the schedule for our 2026 conference. So if you submitted a talk, please check your inbox and get back to us ASAP. If you haven't heard from us one way or another, you are either an alternative or the email got lost.

BTW tickets continue to fly out, have you secured your ticket yet? bsidesreykjavik.com/events/list/
- Reposted by Siggi Bjarnason (he/him)As you are snapping up tickets to the conference like hotcakes, don't forget about the workshop the day before. The fabulous Susanne (Zuzana) BITTER and Chris Clarkson lead you through Breaking the Chain: Threat Modelling Supply Chain Risks and Vulnerabilities.
- Reposted by Siggi Bjarnason (he/him)In less than 24 hours, we have sold 27% of available tickets. If this pace keeps up, we'll sell out in no time. So make sure you get your tickets early. This could be the first year we sell out. If that happens, we'll try to negotiate with the venue to increase the number of available seats
- Reposted by Siggi Bjarnason (he/him)Please join us in thanking Syndis for their contribution to our 2026 conference as a silver sponsor. It is clear that they care about the Cybersecurity community and want to enable knowledge sharing within it. Be like Syndis and sponsor us to make this year's conference the best one yet.
- In response to world events these days I like to quote a song from Diane Warwick, what the world needs now is love sweet love. This was true many decades ago when Diane made this song and it's even truer today.

- Considering the news as of late and all the discussions on social media surrounding that, I think it is a good time to remind everyone that hate is not the answer to anything. We need more love and respect in the world.
- It doesn't matter if it is brotherly love, neighborly love, platonic love, or romantic love. All love is good; there is no bad love. The type of love is totally up to you, just love your neighbor.
- Just because someone is being hateful in their action and speech doesn't mean that you should be showing them hate. I understand it can be hard to show someone like that love, in which case you should at least be civil towards them, hopefully showing them some level of respect.
- Regardless, you should not be disrespectful or hateful toward them; that is what they are after. They are trying to spread hate, so don't give them the satisfaction of hating them. Love your fellow human; that is the way to go.
- There are a lot of reasons why I'm weird/unusual. One is that I don't like to receive gifts for Christmas, birthdays, Valentine's Day, etc. They feel so obligated. If you want to give me a gift, it should be for a weird reason, like because it's Tuesday the 13th, or humpday.
- If you want to do something special, or commemorate one of those days, give me the gift of time, not stuff. An evening out, or even an evening in, means a great deal more to me than something you can buy at a store. Companionship is the greatest gift of all. Time is the most precious commodity.

- Just came here to say I'm a huge believer in the message behind the song "All you need is love"
- Reposted by Siggi Bjarnason (he/him)We've got some exciting things brewing, so stay tuned. Yeah, this is a vague posting. I hear it is all the rage these days 😀
- Today's pondering: Once you start getting begbounties, does that mean you're site is easy to find and secure enough that the only thing to find are info-level issues, or are those engaging in begbounties so incompetent that info-level issues are the only thing they are able to find?

- I wrote a not so little blog article on how we can counter all this hate and division in todays society, with love, acceptance, compassion, respect and consent. It's about 5000 word, or about a 30 min read. supergeek.us/consent-rela...
- These conservative talking point about minimum wage is too high sounds like argument for slavery and are frankly disgusting. If you can't afford to pay employees a livable wage, you can't afford to have employees. This might mean your business plan is not viable. mynorthwest.com/4026936/rant...

- I find Microsoft Edge to be a very competent browser, but constant badgering and trickery from Windows to get me to make it my primary browser makes it so I simply can not bring myself to use it as my primary browser. I'm sorry that's just the way I am.

- I think I've given up on dating apps, not because they are a hot dumpster fire, which they are, but because I'm looking for strong confident women and they aren't on the dating apps. I just can't connect with the insecure women that are on the dating apps.
- Just collated all the domains I have registered, across three different registrars and found out that I personally own 14 domains. I know I'm a supergeek, but maybe that's a bit too much 😀😎😛😊 Here is a breakdown of the TLD's and how many in which TLD: com:1, de:1, is:4, link:1, net:2, org:1, us:4
