They exist in a few forms: - The company is smaller and/or already geo-distributed and doesn't have the ability (or awareness) to monitor employee locations or deal with the tax/co…

It’s incredibly annoying to read. So many super short sentences with the “not just X. Also Y” format. Little hooks like “The attack vector?” “Not fancy security tools. Not expensiv…

I wonder who actually discovered this attack? Can we credit them? The phrasing in these posts is interesting, with some taking direct credit and others just acknowledging the incid…

Nathan, do you work for Socket? I think you should at least disclose that when sharing posts here.

NPM deserves some blame here, IMO. Countless third party intel feeds and security startups can apparently detect this malicious activity, yet NPM, the single source of truth for th…

I can see the value, but to do the things you're describing, the AI needs to be given fairly highly-privileged credentials. > Right now, Datafruit receives read-only access to your…

In China, nearly everything works via the same app (WeChat) and via QR code. Every grocery store, coffee shop, train station, or point of sale has the same scanner, where you can f…

Companies should automate this. Write their own outage monitoring, feed the results, plus the cumbersome format you have to send to the provider, into an LLM, have it spit out an e…

I'm still working on https://wut.dev/ - a simpler, privacy-focused, read-only AWS resource viewer. I did a "show Reddit" post a few weeks back and it got quite a bit of interest, s…

https://github.com/OpenCut-app/OpenCut/issues/192 I don't know if this style of... discussion is something the Cluely team made popular recently, or if it took off sooner, but I re…

Much appreciated! I just put this homepage together recently, so this is really helpful feedback.

Wut.Dev ( https://wut.dev ) - a fast, client-side, privacy-focused, alternative to the AWS console. I got tired of using the AWS console for simple tasks, like looking up resource …

This "AI will never replace _my_ job" attitude by security folks (and I say this as a security engineer myself) is insufferable. Yeah, there are likely lots of vulnerabilities gett…

It’s interesting that multi-region is often touted as a mechanism for resilience and availability, but for the most part, large cloud providers seem hopelessly intertwined across r…

I can recall plenty of times HN has been down.

Wut.Dev - a "better" AWS console ( https://app.wut.dev ) I got tired of using the AWS console (the UI is inconsistent across services, resource-heavy, and loaded with things I don'…

I wish X would allow you to mute lists of people. I keep a list for insufferable VCs, and it would be nice to mute the whole list at once. Maybe a feature request for your extensio…

I bought this book immediately after the last post here on HN about it. Good read so far!

I haven’t been a fan of the UI for a while, although admittedly it’s a tough job - there’s a lot to cram in there! I started building a simpler alternative, where everything is jus…

Oh, that's neat! I've found it to be really flexible, although some of the really nice features are (understandably) locked behind the expensive "Pro" version (like right-click con…

Thankfully programmatic. It’s a common UI table widget, essentially, and I’ve written some custom code to handle multi-region support, updating the AWS credential handler, paginati…

I've been working on https://wut.dev in my spare time. It's essentially a simpler, read-only, AWS dashboard where everything is a filterable, searchable, exportable-to-CSV table, w…

> There were more geoblocks when the EU law went into action a couple of years ago. There are less now. Source for that?

Expect to see more of this, especially when the audience is local/US. IIRC, some newspapers are already doing region blocks. Why should website owners targeting US visitors spend _…

Based on "GetMetricData", you're not paying for services, but rather something with access to your account is making API requests to CloudWatch. Do you have any third-party monitor…
