The Computer Science department at Louisiana State University (LSU) is currently hiring for many faculty positions related to applied cyber security. Courses taught inside this department include reverse engineering, malware analysis, binary exploitation, memory forensics and other intensive courses related to incident response and offensive security.

Ideal candidates will have significant experience with deeply

technical areas of cybersecurity. LSU was recently granted the CAE-CO designation and is one of only 21 schools nation-wide to hold it as it is the most technical designation granted by NSA and DHS. The department also runs a large SFS program for cyber security students.

If you are interested in one of these positions, then please see the

following link. I also ask my industry contacts to please spread the

word within academic communities that you have access to:

https://lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/LSU/job/3325-Patrick-F-Taylor-Hall/Assistant-Professor_R00074211?q=computer%20science%20cybersecurity

The cybersecurity effort at LSU has strong support from the highest levels of the school and is rapidly expanding – so now is the perfect time to join.

PS: I am not employed by LSU, but do work very closely with the CS department to ensure the courses are relevant to industry and rigorous enough for students to leave with real-world, hands-on experience. If you have questions related to the position, then please direct them to Dr. Golden Richard at LSU: https://www.cct.lsu.edu/~golden/

WE DID IT! The Texas Observer will remain open!

Our board just voted to rescind both the layoffs and the closure. We'll have more news soon, but we believe this is the start of a very positive transformation at our publication—and you were a huge part of it. THANK YOU! You proved to the world that #TexasNeedsAnObserver!

I've started adding an extra credit question to all my exams that is, in a nutshell, "Describe, in detail, some topic you studied for the exam but that the exam did not cover".

Most of the responses I get are of the form "I found <thing> really interesting and studied it in great detail, but you didn't ask me enough about it and I want to talk about it more."

This is super rewarding.

My daughter’s 11 grade lit class is reading Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale right now. We were discussing how it is a dystopian book that has parallels to current events. She said her classmates were comparing the things happening today compared to the book as well. Thank goodness WA state education authorities are still allowing them to read and openly discuss this important topic. #Bookbans #Books

I'm not sure who needs to hear this but you don't owe anyone on the internet your real name or a profile image that's a real photo of you.

Also make sure to install Peertube on its own subdomain or domain, one that you own.

The Guide to Peer-to-Peer, Encryption, and Tor: New Communication Infrastructure for Anarchists

"An exhaustive anarchist overview and guide to various apps and tech that utilize peer-to-peer and encryption.

Shhhhh
This is a discussion about digital tools for communicating securely and privately. To begin, it must be stressed that a face-to-face meeting, out of sight of cameras and out of earshot from other people and devices, is the most secure way to communicate. Anarchists were going for walks to chat long before encrypted texting existed, and they should still do so now, whenever possible."

I drew this in 2020, posted it on the birdsite, and it went viral (at least by my standards!), earning me 250 new followers.

It shows how much battery various stars would have left if they had battery indicators like phones do. #MastoArt

Love mastodon but do have a pet peeve. So many people post photos and info without including where in the world they are or where the photos were taken. This is truly a global community. It's helpful to know where in the world you are.
