Favorite Security podcasts

As I posted a few months ago I listen to a bunch of podcasts. Here are the security/privacy podcasts I listen to:

1. Sans Internet Storm Daily Networking- It's a short daily update of security issues. It's more focused on vulnerabilities and major hacks. 
2. Twiet-this week in enterprise tech. I find it more focused from a topic perspective. It does go into other topics being an enterprise tech podcast however it's very clear and concise in describing issues and trends. The presenters are people in industry, SEs, or tech journalists so they share interesting perspectives. 
3. Enterprise Security Weekly-I started listening to this recently and I've found it to be pretty good and informative.
4. Intercept-This covers privacy topics and was co-founded by Glenn Greenwald, who is best known as the journalist that Edward Snowden contacted. 
5. Cigital Silver Bullet-Haven't listened to this in a while.
6. Down the Security Rabbit Hole-Haven't listened to this in a while.
7. CERT's Podcast Series: Series for Business Leaders- Haven't listened to this in a while.
8. Decrypted
9. Secureabit
10. Security Now - I find this one to be too long and veers off topic.

Finsix Dart- a product review

I recently picked up a Finsix Dart from Massdrop because I've got 3 laptops and travel a bit for work and pleasure. I remember seeing the IndieGoGo campaign but I missed out on it.  Seeing it was at a decent price at Massdrop, I picked it up.  Bottomline there are some pluses and minuses but check their website to see your if your laptop is compatible.

Pros

• One of the things Finsix says is the charger as small. It really is small. It's the size of a USB cigarette light power adapter.
• It has a USB port on it. I'm really surprised more laptop power bricks don't have one. It makes it easy to charge a phone or battery pack. It is a 2v USB port so it'll charge at the same speed as an iPhone or iPad charger. 
• It's really easy to use, after all it's a laptop power brick so it better be easy to use. 

Con

• It's not able to power one of my laptops that has a power draw of > 65w. This was my primary reason for the purchase. 

Con(but not for me)

• Doesn't work with Apple products. 

Fakenews blocking in ublock origin

I decided to put together a uBlock Origin block list for fakenews sites. I found a few listings on GitHub for host files to do this but nothing in uBlock Origin so I decided to make another repo with some of the host files as a starting point. Feel free to share/add some other fakenews sites.
