Not Simon 🐐

This blog would serve many purposes:

• List of links (hopefully categorized) ranging from daily to weekly (monthly?)
• Timeline of events to keep them organized
• Mega post when an incident spans multiple sources
• Personal insights and opinions
• Helpful resources (mainly for myself)

There were many times when I felt like I could benefit from having my own blog. It didn't even need to be specifically a blog; it could have been a Pastebin or repository to dump my thoughts (to not forget something important).

I was hesitant at first since I grew up with blogs like Xanga. The stuff I wrote as a high school student was downright embarrassing. I also learned the dangers of being too open on the internet, the privacy risks, and now of operational security.

There are benefits to be able to draft up a more nuanced post. I remember being limited to 140 characters, and trying to find creative acronyms and ways to thread together messages.

So my blog will be a long form version of my Mastodon activity: Open source information, summaries and links. I'm still getting used to WriteFreely, and exploring the limitations of the platform.
