As someone who just got done putting a bullet in some long-used instances, I both appreciated and needed this laugh. Thanks!

I use a tool called TheGodFather

These guys always have the best write-ups. I aspire to write postmortems like they do. In fact, maybe my next context for a ChatGPT query will be “you are a member of of CloudFlare…

First significant vuln for KeePass in awhile. Still a better threat model than cloud.

The situation you've described has never happened. Out of all the options, it is considered the safest. People forget that the dollar is backed by the ultimate currency - military …

There are multiple places. For sure other banks. JPM and other “too-big-to-fail” banks received billions of dollars in deposit inflows over the last few days[0]. But for me persona…

Over the last 10 years we've had to replace our furnace twice, and happen to have both gas and a heat pump (a hybrid system). Each time, we had a different contractor do the instal…

Not everyone is using Azure and a full M365 implementation though.

I know the guys at the AISAC - great resource for the cyber folks working in the Aviation industry.

In fact, Canon is going after third party lens manufacturers that are blatantly violating its patent [0]. One of the problems Canon has faced recently is a flooding of the market w…

What's scary is that I recognize one of the games being played by the users in the picture - Silpheed.

You’re absolutely right, I’m done preordering games. I didn’t do it much anyway, but nowadays it’s just not worth it. The most recent and egregious example that comes to my mind wa…

5 years of software updates - that's a lol. My wife has had 3 different generations of Pixel phones fail (hardware failure, not dropped or broken by the user). She keeps going back…

This is a great article. Thanks for the link.

I have a relative (now in his 60's) who is a globally renowned network engineer from Silicon Valley. He has many patents, worked on just about every protocol known out there, etc. …

Same, last tweet from me was in December and I check Twitter daily. My last self-composed tweet is well over 2 years ago.

I second the notion of a minimum 2 week vacation. Over the years I’ve found that 7 days is simply not enough to slip out of the work mindset. I noticed that after 8-10 days I was m…

I was thinking the same. What we have here is a security nightmare. You have executable code on globally unique URLs with no protective mechanisms in front of it except for the abi…

In my experience, this most frequently occurs if the company does business with the government (fed, state, or local). In such cases, the "charade" is required by Federal or State …

The 'hup' for me will always be associated with Quake, as I played that for a long time. When I was a youngster in the early 90s, a grade school classmate of mine had a huge comput…

Glad someone mentioned GH Actions. Recent SaaS issues aside, one of the value-props to me with GH Actions is that I can leverage it in a multi-cloud environment if I'm using GitHub…

I would rather have a team of all-FTEs than a mix. But the company wants more contractors because when cost-pressures arise, they can dump them without any thought. In fact this ha…

Well, I’m not a preacher, and LinkedIn is brutal. Regarding providing the avenues to full time, that’s sort of the plan. I hope to convert them - if they want to. Some people enjoy…
