I’m gonna simply say this: if you are at all interested in a Stargate show with ANY of the original creators/performers involved, now is the time to say something. Otherwise it really will be the end of that chapter forever. Let them know you are THERE
Hey Stargate Fans please let @amazon and @AmazonMGMStudio know how you feel about them cancelling #Stargate
They MOCK us. They think they don't need us. Let them know what you think of that.
I won't be watching ANY other Stargate that is created without the OG creators /Gero being involved.
I'm DONE with studios SHITTING ON THE FANS AND KILLING IPS WE LOVE.

I hadn't gotten to looking at the real estate claims yet... apparently many of the "savings" assume a 5-year lease continuation, even if there were no plans to renew.
Examples abound of DOGE inflating numbers and taking credit for work it didn't even do 🤦♂️

Roughly 4 hours after being called out for attempting to hide the actual TCV, doge.gov/savings was finally corrected to $8M. The actual savings are no more than $5.5M as $3.5M has already been spent, but that's par for course.
Their headline $55B number remains unchanged.

SCOOP: @DOGE does damage control
A diff of "savings" estimates from doge.gov between today and yesterday shows that 4 rows have been edited - all corresponding to errors I called out in my thread yesterday. Let's see what they changed!
🧵
This is inaccurate.
In September 2022, the agency contracting officer mistakenly wrote $8B instead of $8M when logging in the FPDS database. DOGE discovered this error in January 2025, and the agency updated FPDS accordingly. DOGE has always used the correct $8M in its calculations.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
On 2/18/2025 the doge.gov/savings Wall of Receipts displayed this line item as $8b, but linked to the revision of this contract that was corrected down to $8m.

Multiple line items have been revised after errors were pointed out, but the claimed total savings of $55b has not changed.

After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in.
Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then.
🧵
It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen.

With all the talk about @offsectraining adding expiration to their certificates, I honestly can’t recall one situation where someone questioned my expired certs from Cisco, knowledge is knowledge that’s all employers care about
Let ya certs expire!
Grabbed a piece of random old tech, and found what may have been a crippling exploit for the vendor, but with the cloud systems long gone we will never know.... @koalasafe semaja2.net/koalasafe-resear…

honestly the sorry here goes miles (from my pov)
at the end of the day there are people inside this company and they are probably having a very rubbish time....
I've deployed BSODs to hundreds of PCs before and it's not fun... imagine doing MILLIONS :(

Honest question… if there was some time bomb bug in windows that was purely accidental and no one noticed until it hit, would everyone be nuking Microsoft? Bugs happen, the real question is how well prepared an org is to deal with any disaster (eg. Solar flare, etc)

Successfully passed the @offsectraining OSDA certification this weekend, the exam results were issued in just over 24 hours which was a pleasant surprise :)
Coming from the OSCP the lack of flags sure did make the OSDA a different experience.
Back in late 2022 I discovered a vulnerability for the Siklu TG product line, and finally I have published the article which was delayed a further 8 months to give time for customers to update
semaja2.net/2023/06/11/siklu…
I did request a CVE ID be assigned but never heard back on it
Proud to successfully pass the OSCP certification! @offsectraining was surprised to get the results so fast!
Its finally submitted (OSCP)🤞 everything is correct in the report, now the waiting game for the results @offsectraining
