Evergreen advice from the design side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVkLVRt6c1U (Mike Monteiro: F*ck You, Pay Me)

The _really_ fun bucket squatting attacks are when the cloud providers themselves use deterministic names for "scratch space" buckets. There was a good DC talk about it at DC32 for…

Mountain View recently turned off their Flock installs after they discovered Flock had enabled data sharing without notice and other agencies were searching through MV data. https:…

If you don't remember, Daniel Penny is the ex-Marine that killed a homeless man on the NYC subway then was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide.

There was actually a good DC31 talk called "Snoop On To Them, As They Snoop On To Us" kinda in this vein, but with Bluetooth devices that are part of a lot of cop's gear. https://w…

Elon is also now claiming to have "deleted" 18F ( https://18f.gsa.gov/ ): https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1886498750052327520

Missing the real-life seller grades: EX- / VG++(+) M+ Skip on A2, otherwise MINT SOLID PLAY COPY (Kidding, nice tool!) Goldmine does have a bit of a no-man's-land between NM and VG…

Nice tool, thank you for releasing it. Unfortunately, in my experience it's a pretty normal strategy to over provision EBS gp2 volumes to get the IOPS since they scale linearly up …

I like Carlin's cadence, but I really wish they would run everything through some compression. The volume range between his "speaking" voice and when he's quoting someone is HUGE a…

Yeah, here in the slums of higher-ed dev/IT just having a github repos of any original code makes an applicant novel. We never really discussed an applicant's github code with them…

Pressing a one-off record isn't worth the cost because of the requirement of creating a pressing mother. (Mastering, creating a lacquer, a mother, a stamper, then finally pressing.…

I'm in higher-ed infosys and we see a number of automated registration sniping hacks in our monitoring / metrics. We usually don't run it up the chain unless it's malicious or impa…
