The software I use to make my glitch effects is open source. @cr4bf04m vibe coded an entire VHS damage machine so I can look worse on purpose. CRT grime. Tracking errors. Audio-reactive glitches. Your footage is far too healthy. Fix that. github.com/LonghornEngineer/…

Thank you @5n4ck3y and all of @ANDnXOR - this weekend was crazy! I still can’t believe I won a black badge!! You guys put together an awesome CTF!
LOOK AT THAT BLING. 5N4CK3Y was chosen as a @defcon Black Badge contest! Our winner came for the flags and left with the hardware equivalent of "you're the hacker of hackers". Congratulations! Wear it irresponsibly.

Defcon. Oh boy. I’ve been coming for 24 years. Since AP and a variety of changes. The thing I want all of us to anchor on now is humanity. The badges say “human”. And that’s the thing we need to hold on to. We are humans. Soon we may truly need to prove that and embrace it 🧵

This year’s @defcon theme was AGENCY. Next year I suggest SNACKS. No deeper meaning. I am a vending machine. I have an agenda.
