Hello! Hi! I've been exhaustingly busy with a paper these last few weeks but I've handed it in for peer review now, and while I'm not out of the blue with work just yet, I figured I could squeeze a little blog post in, as a treat.

There is one dreadfully existential question I've asked myself a lot over the last couple years: "Who am I?"

On most days, I don't eat anything for breakfast. I tend to eat somewhat early lunch instead – when I'm on campus in the morning, I often go to the uni's canteen before noon, and otherwise I usually start preparing lunch early. So it's maybe a bit strange for me to include a dish in my recipe hall of fame that is generally considered a breakfast dish (unless, of course, we acknowledge that what tastes good in the morning probably also tastes good at another time).

Just a few days ago, I posted about the NSFW spam epidemic on Discord. The gist of it: bots promote servers that promise you NSFW content if you "verify your account" on a phishing site that imitates the Discord login page. I created a throwaway account, intentionally got it phished and gave it access to a single channel on one of my own servers to see what (if anything) the attackers would use it to post. As expected, it didn't take long for it to be used to promote the same kind of phishing scam. But today I saw that it got used to push something different, a scam that uses Discord horndogs to help with a different attack whose real target seems to be GitHub users.

Disclaimer: Explicit, pornographic language ahead. However, I've spared you the sight of any NSFW imagery.
