I stream on Twitch <a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/gamingonlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gamingonlinux</span></a> and all my random hacking projects. I love <a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dogs</span></a> and will mostly talk about tech, rarely do I mention politics but it’s mostly cyber and privacy rights. Also I make <a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>music</span></a> as a hobby sometimes and rock a classic iPod I modified myself.

ChiefGyk3D<p>Trump just pissed off gamers. Funny how fast “anti-woke” fades when your wallet’s on the line. Would you rather see pronouns in bios or not be able to afford a Switch 2?

ChiefGyk3D<p>I constantly get asked what cert to get to land a cybersecurity job. Truth is: certs help, but they’re not everything. Learn to apply the knowledge. Homelab, document on GitHub/blog, and most importantly—network. I’ve been in this field nearly a decade. First cert? CISSP—last year. <a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/Cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Cybersecurity</span></a></p>
ChiefGyk3D<p>It blows my mind that people ignored what Trump literally said he would do—tariffs, authoritarian moves, all of it. When someone keeps repeating what they plan to do… believe them. Stop excusing it just because they wear your political jersey.</p>

ChiefGyk3D<p>I used to be a libertarian who wanted to “own the libs”—yeah, I was a schmuck. Still lean Gary Johnson-pragmatic style libertarian, but these days I find myself siding with Democrats more by far. Amazing what growing up and seeing the world clearly does to your perspective.</p>
ChiefGyk3D<p>It’s time America wakes up: we’ve given way too much power to the executive branch. The founders feared a king, yet here we are with Trump acting like one. We did this to ourselves by letting presidential power grow unchecked.</p>
ChiefGyk3D<p>The power of the purse belongs in Congress, not the White House. We need to rein in tariff authority and other executive powers—because we’re now seeing just how easily they can be abused. These new tariff rates aren’t even grounded in economic reality.<br /><a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/tariff" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tariff</span></a> <a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>politics</span></a></p>
ChiefGyk3D<p>These tariffs are heading us toward a recession, just like in the Great Depression and other past attempts. Thank God I already bought my new laptop because EVERYTHING is going to get more expensive. Brace yourselves for a rough economic ride ahead.<br /><a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/tariff" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tariff</span></a> <a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a></p>
ChiefGyk3D<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@mntmn" class="u-url mention">@<span>mntmn</span></a></span> I’m also considering drilling in a WiFi SMA connector on the side as a last resort after I play with laptop antennas and positioning. Won’t be as sleek but it’s an option. There is some space I noticed on the side plastic panel. It will be a last resort after testing for the I.MXM8M+ SoC as I am still waiting for RK3588 with WiFi built in as I really am set on having WiFi and cell modem in this laptop</p>
ChiefGyk3D<p>Over the past few months I’ve been diving deeper into radio, and it’s made me rethink the antenna placement on my <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@mntmn" class="u-url mention">@<span>mntmn</span></a></span> Pocket Reform. I suspect it’s suboptimal and plan to do some tinkering soon to confirm my theory. Let’s see what RF testing reveals!</p>
ChiefGyk3D<p>Just renewed my Mastodon server for another 3 months! Huge thanks to my amazing community for the tips, donations, and supporting my content — keeping Mastodon, Matrix, and all my infrastructure up and running!</p>

ChiefGyk3D<p>Susan Crawford won — proving Elon Musk can’t buy influence. If anything, his support backfires.

ChiefGyk3D<p>Right after <a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/SignalGate" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SignalGate</span></a>, turns out Trump officials were using Gmail to discuss sensitive national matters.

ChiefGyk3D<p>Just installed a third key light in my streaming setup so my left side isn’t in the dark anymore. Elgato discontinued the Key Light Air, but I found a refurbished one. Now running two Airs and a Mini—lighting finally feels perfect!</p>
ChiefGyk3D<p>Already got MAGA trolls on my TikTok clips about my hour-long Signalgate exposé. When it comes to cybersecurity, the only red &amp; blue teams I’m on are offense &amp; defense. I don’t politicize security—I just call out risks, no matter who’s in charge.<br /><a href="https://youtu.be/e7b5_OKn7XE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/e7b5_OKn7XE</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/Cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://social.chiefgyk3d.com/tags/Infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Infosec</span></a></p>
ChiefGyk3D<p>Elon Musk is really telling on himself by assuming anti-Tesla protests are funded and coordinated.
