Are you American? Truth is an absolute defense against libel, so post it on blogspot or whatever then go get some free food down at the weekly lab lunch. I'm completely serious. At one point I got mad I couldn't even get an interview at a decent internship despite being an ok-ish hacker, so I wrote up a description of how at the time you could go into about:config in Firefox and just write whatever latitude and longitude you want, and spoofed my location as in the middle of the 2009 green revolution protests in Iran. Someone kind of chewed me out later, pointed out we don't have diplomatic relations with Iran, I hadn't gotten permission from Zuck or whatever and I kind of shrugged. (You'd be surprised how much can be accomplished if you start repeating things from classes where the professors read directly from the powerpoint like "I'm just a rational actor responding to incentives" as you reach into your cargo pants and maintain a creepily intense level of eye contact when folks are dumb enough to bring up the internet in real life.)
