Hi, this is Andre. I'll be writing about software architecture and development, cyber security, UX/UI topics, politics, and queer experiences. I'm a classically trained musician and music composer, band director, and music instructor. I'm handfasted, have kids, and play and create (video) games. Sometimes I don't recognize social cues.

A bot trying to detect & replace Garfield text with random lines from random songs

I may have some misses, but I'm shooting for 99% accuracy.

All #Garfield strips are downloaded from gocomics.com and processed in real-time using text detection via tesseract to try and find text bubbles.

Lyrics are chosen from a directory of songs, with random lines picked out and fitting attempts made.

Been in information security, privacy, computers, etc. since, well, since almost they have been around (i.e., a very, very long time). Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota or there about. Oh, and I write the PCI Guru blog - pciguru.blog

Pro democracy / anti nazi / anti fascist / anti MAGA / anti crypto bros. Right now there is not much I do like. 
I follow educated people who have IMO intelligent insights on things. If you want to know and understand more than you do, follow people who know and understand more than you do. Also applies to inspiring / funny people / journalists / photographers. (There is a lot of overlaps in those groups and following intelligent people).
TL;DR - I boost a lot and follow smart / insightful / funny people and occasionally have something to say.

ReToots / Likes does not signify endorsement / agreement.

PS - Really do not want to follow anybody @bird.makeup and will not link to the (formerly known as) bird site.

I share interesting stuff, and random thoughts. Trek fan. Part time gamer. InfoSec aficionado. Google+ refugee. Anti-capitalist. Free Palestine 🇵🇸. Viva Puerto Rico libre 🇵🇷.

Working at front lines of the IT and having fun there. Been around the Internet since 1992 and still in awe what has become of that little baby.

Personal interests:

- Books (mostly F&SF)
- IT Security
- Computer Games & RPG
- Cooking
- Movies
- Everything that blinks, has buttons to press and looks remotely gadgetoid

Everything i write, post, tweet, blog or blurp is just my personal opinion and is not the opinion or policy of my employer, my cat or my goldfish.

I post in English and German. Will try to mark each post correctly, but errors happen. Sorry for that.

I appologize if I am not following you back. This happens as my stream is already getting more posts than I can read.

Information Security. Motorrad. Politik. Vienna, Austria.

Toots are mostly in German, some in English.

I am Director of System Architecture at SCI Semiconductor and a Visiting Researcher at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. I remain actively involved in the #CHERI project, where I led the early language / compiler strand of the research, and am the maintainer of the #CHERIoT Platform.

I was on the FreeBSD Core Team for two terms, have been an LLVM developer since 2008, am the author of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime (libobjc2 and associated clang support), and am responsible for libcxxrt and the BSD-licensed device tree compiler.

Opinions expressed by me are not necessarily opinions. In all probability they are random ramblings and should be ignored. Failure to ignore may result in severe boredom and / or confusion. Shake well before opening. Keep refrigerated.

Warning: May contain greater than the recommended daily allowance of sarcasm.

I BLOCK boosters of Auschwitz Memorial (reason: EN: https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/114109842135519548; NL: https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/114220546604058265). I may unblock them after some time (if they did not repeat).

Independent 60+ Dutch security researcher. I hate injustice, propaganda and discrimination. I try to be as objective as possible.

Notes:
• Don't auto-trust all of this. It may be a spoof, even if "I" say it's not (i.e. my account may be hacked).

• Muting users of URL-shorteners (i.e buff.ly) on infosec.exchange.
