    Funny to see how burning man has changed over the decades. When I first heard about it, it was very anarchist hacker related.

      I think public perception has changed.

      In my circle, the same hairy weirdos are going to dig their shitty playa bikes and solar panels out of a storage locker. The same as they’ve been doing since the early 2000s.

      But people don’t seem to think of it as artsy and counter culture any more. Instead they focus on the rich dudes from Silicon Valley (who were also there in the early 2000s).

          Unauthorized entry is one of the finest tenets of penetration testing, hacking , social engineering and espionage.

          I’m not supposed to be here? Fuck you, I’ll be where I want to be.

          I watched too much defcon one time and there was a job fair that required you have linked in or a portfolio that I couldn’t set up on time. Fuck it, I snuck in with no pass, saw my bud enter legitimately, walked up to him and shook his hand and blended in.

          It was minor, but really fucking fun
