BSides Ottawa CTF was a lot of fun. I met some people from BenchSci and joined their team
I think we came in 6th (leader boards are blanked for the last 30 minutes to create some suspense before the winners are announced).
We were second at the end of Day 1, which felt pretty cool. All down hill from there, though!
Got my COVID + flu shots on Tuesday and that took me out for all of Wednesday with a killer headache.
This whole week has been fraught with appointments and health stuff, making today (Thursday) the first "normal" day since Wednesday last week (before the CTF).
Today (Thursday) I went down a rabbit hole of Air Traffic Control and listening to planes with SDR, and looking at the publicly available map and NOTAM data available. Not quite sure why, it just seemed to happen.
I also had a call with a friend. We kvetched about work, naturally.
Looked into IPFS, something I am keen on existing, to find that it's probably still not useful for what I want and maybe it never will be?
I have amassed a criminal amount of tabs and I'm going to need a purge. Some of them are waiting on the right context to come around again (like registering ARIN objects) and some are in queue to read, while some are in a queue to post about (like on clinks)
Partly this is because I've spent so much less time on the computer lately, which might be positive, and partly because I've spent the time that I have on thinking about the nature of stuff and the time we live in.
I put my bikes away as we're heading below freezing again and when I'm riding for fun, I don't want to be out in subzero temperatures. My son's bike is still out because it's how he's getting to college, so it'll stick around until there's ice on the ground making it unsafe (and not just ... y'know ... unpleasant)
