What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment but never in a thousand years?

The letter “M.”

I do not owe anyone my #disability positivity. I am not a walking advocacy campaign, but a human being living the rollercoaster that is #disabled life, that is life itself.

I will have good days and bad, most will be mixed, all will come with challenges. I cannot demand the standards of myself that the wider non-disabled world asks of me, but I can be more gracious in my assessment of my abilities.

I will complain without solutions, celebrate with enthusiasm tinged with frustration, choose the parts of myself I share sometimes with care and sometimes without.

You will deal with it, or not; it makes very little difference, other than when it makes all the difference.

Hi, my name is Kayla - I'm a geek, cybersecurity professional, gamer, in love with sci-fi, fantasy, cosplay and community social events. I'm also a queer woman, so of course my account is LGBTQ+ safe and I do not tolerate anti-LGBT rhetoric.

What to expect here - nothing fancy, I just want to be in touch with larger cybersecurity and geek community (because they're usually the same) here on Fediverse. Mainly posts full of cat pictures, memes and rants about Linux and tech stuff in general.

This is my english-only account, if you speak czech, you can head also to @kayla_eilhart 🙂

"Tightening every bolt" my talk about #curl security at FOSDEM 2025, on video:

I've started posting on LinkedIn all the unconstitutional shit Trump and Musk are doing to undermine the security and integrity of our government. Mainly because that crowd needs to hear it most. It's incredible how many people in the infosec space are still defending the actions of DOGE and its dear leader(s). And they're not all crypto bros and AI peddlers; we're talking about people in some pretty important roles, tech-wise.

But at least when they reply with the inevitable "stay in your lane" or "I used to like you when you stayed out of politics," they are on record as complicit and totally okay with what is going on.

The thing that was bad about "client side scanning" wasn't the client side content classification, it was the co-opting of the device to send "maybe crime" reports to third parties.

There are plenty of interesting and maybe valuable applications of actual client side scanning of content though I don't trust any of them to be done by companies who align themselves with authoritarians and bigots...

"if you oppose "DEI," you should have to use the full phrase instead of the letters. Be brave and say, "I oppose diversity, equity, and inclusion."

Bonus points if you admit which part of that you don't like. Making it an acronym transforms it into a thought-terminating cliche.

From now on, be proud of your (shit)
opinions, but be specific.
Let everyone know if it's diversity
you don't like, or if it's equity, or
if it's being inclusive."

I was once in a band called ‘The Radiators’, we were a warm up act.

Then I joined ‘The Duvets’, we mainly did covers.

After that, I was in an outfit called ‘Cats Eyes’, mostly middle of the road stuff.

Now I'm in a group called ‘Missing Cat’, you may have seen our posters ...

I know it's very difficult to understand. It's also very easy to be sarcastic.

As promised, here's one from last weekend's photoshoot, of me in leather shorts. I am not at all satisfied with this as a visual artwork; I made it partly just to establish that I fit in at least somewhat on woof.group.

I hope some people enjoy it anyway.
