April 9th, 2026 – “Ashley’s Quest to watch Monty Python faster”

Hello Hackers!

This month we are joined again by Ashley, who will be presenting her talk “Ashley’s Quest to watch Monty Python faster”:

This talk details Ashley’s journey to watch Monty Python (and every other blu-ray she got her hands on) faster, in which she got nerd-sniped into building a computer cluster capable of handling asymmetric nodes and tasks dynamically, to minimize latency and maximize throughput, and all of the specific intricacies she utilized to optimize it.

Bio: Ashley is a cybersecurity professional specializing in hardware, reverse engineering, and cyber operations, with a wide variety of interests (aka a massive nerd). She is also a federally certified drone pilot. “If you can break things, you can also almost break things, and I think that’s neat.”

Meeting will be on Discord. If you need an invite, look no further.
