We need something to replace it. Lemmy isn't quite there yet.

AWS doesn't consider them sensitive, but some organizations do. My feeling is that I would rather avoid leaking any info about my AWS environments. Just because AWS doesn't think t…

I did this at a previous employer. I leveraged a Lambda functions and tags applied to instances to determine when they should be and when they should be off.

I don't believe CALEA has any provisions for requiring CA providers to allow decrypt.

It's odd that regular testing wasn't part of a compliance framework for them. BC/DR testing has been part of every security/compliance framework I've worked with.

It's sad that this is framed as a zero-sum game. At my current role, the expectation is three days a week in the office, but no one freaks out if you end up working remotely for a …

If I'm disconnected from the real-world impact of my job, I'm likely to think it's bullshit. That doesn't make it a bullshit job; that just means that I can't see how it fits into …

I'm not sold on the idea that this is an either/or scenario. Classroom-based instruction is critical, imho, for social development, but having personalized learning as an option fo…

This was the quote that came to mind. I read that book many times as a kid and that quote really stuck with me.

I used to love Graylog, but I was evaluated it for use with AWS and a) it's AWS bits seem limited and b) I found a bunch of deadlinks from their github to their site. If they can't…

SumoLogic is also not cheap.

Unity already has license fees if your game earns money. This new license change comes across like a shameless money grab.

> no other profession in the world works like this I mean, this objectively untrue if you consider IT and tech. The author makes good points, but there's no widely accredited skill…

It's fair to say Meta didn't give the data, but they provided a platform that allowed CA to develop the app which gathered the data. On the topic of data privacy, that's a bad step…

Meta literally allowed their data to be used by Cambridge Analytica in a fashion that likely swayed the 2016 US election. EDIT: Well, this was certainly wrong. I'm leaving this up …

You could say that about most ToS bits. A lot of them are hard to prove. This at least provides a potential legal remedy in the event that a) they are lying and b) we are able to d…

The takeaway seems less about nifty coding and more about working in isolation. The author found a path he thought would solve the problem and was 'clever', but never really got fe…

You still end up beholden to a service. They have human beings now, but they might not in the future. Or they could vanish. Even running everything on your own systems is risky bec…

A lot of Internet users don't want to pay for content and don't want ads. I guess they're hoping some deity will magically pay all the content producers.

I get it, but man that's some hyperbole in there. I like Mastodon, but since there's still good stuff on other sites, I will read those, too. If the author thinks he's outsmarted a…

Man, that Large Marge scene scared the bejesus out of me as a kid.

Years ago, I wanted to learn Unix so I installed FreeBSD and ran mail and DNS on it. I thought, this will be a great learning experience. Except...it never broke. There was never a…

If you have to run an "Enterprise Linux", you are probably required by regulations or compliance to have a support agreement in place. Whether it's RedHat or Oracle or something el…

How does Peeng differentiate between 'pings' from different services coming from the same IP? Payload? For example, if I wanted to use this for an appserver and db server and both …

The US government doesn't really have a great track record of doing this any better.
