Another Fucking Day, Another Fucking Podcast

Oh for crying out loud. RSS feed 32776 just had to go and vomit into my aggregator, didn’t it? Here I am, minding my own business and plotting the demise of lusers who can’t remember their passwords, and suddenly I’m reminded that some poor bastard had to record the ISC Stormcast for Monday, March 9th, 2026. That’s right, 2026. Because apparently we’re planning our catastrophic data breaches so far in advance now that we need security briefings from the goddamn future.

You know what this podcast contains? I’ll tell you what it contains. It contains 30 minutes of some analyst explaining exactly how the new zero-day that your CEO is going to install via a phishing email at 9:15 AM next Tuesday is going to cryptolocker your entire fucking network. Not that anyone will listen. No, they’ll nod, download the MP3, file it under “shit I’ll never read” and then blame IT when their desktop turns into a bitcoin miner.

And don’t get me started on the date. March 9th, 2026. Either SANS has perfected time travel (and wasted it on security podcasts instead of going back to kill the inventor of JavaScript), or someone set the cron job wrong. Either way, I’m supposed to care about threats that haven’t even been invented yet while I’m still dealing with morons who tape their passwords to their monitors. Priority management is clearly not humanity’s strong suit.

Speaking of time travel, reminds me of when I convinced a particularly dense user that the server room had a “temporal flux capacitor” and he needed to run around the racks at 88 miles per hour to generate enough cooling. Watched him sprinting past the blade servers for twenty minutes before he passed out. Best cardio he ever got, and I got to laugh myself into a hernia. They don’t pay me enough to deal with this shit, but the entertainment value is almost worth it.
