Yes. Evaporative cooling towers. I suppose in those cases nearly all the water used goes to atmosphere.

Okay but that doesn’t detract from the intended purpose of DMARC.

The primary purpose of DMARC is to prevent impersonation not to prevent spam. I own a domain, I implement DMARC to make sure others know when email from my domain is legitimately f…

If you use AWS Config with an organization wide aggregator, which Control Tower sets up by default these days, have your agent use it to find resources and related resources. You c…

Blast radius. One example… What happens when you give an identity s3:* on resource: *? It can read/modify every bucket in the account that doesn’t have a resource policy with an ex…

Isn’t Microsoft perpetually short on capacity? https://windowsforum.com/threads/azure-capacity-crunch-exten...

It’s a new SKU. You’ll have to pay for that new type of app.

There are the handful that it’s not just a web console or API you interact with. Have to file a support ticket. Those will be a pain.

This is the conversation I plan to have with Okta sales soon. Wait till you see how easy AI makes it to switch to Entra ID or anyone else. It’s tedium not even problem solving.

I thought this might be the case. Thanks.

IMO, the text is in the wrong direction. I thought it felt uncomfortable to read. On my real life bookshelf, it flows from top to bottom.

Amazingly some companies like Hyland still ship software that requires IIS. Bonus add are the pages and pages of setup instructions.

Home Assistant shipped an MCP server and client: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mcp_server/

Mechanics, car wash, anyone who can unlock the vehicle while it’s parked.

Curious about other experiences. I’ve been playing with this stack and left wondering if Strands provides any secret sauce with Agent Core. So far it doesn’t feel that way and some…

I still can’t use Containers because of a broken DNS implementation. I suppose I could manually set the DNS as I switch on and off VPN, but I don’t have to with Finch, Podman, or D…

mDNS should work here even without a reflector.

I live in the SE US suburbs and a regular story on the news are fears over roaming packs of kids on e-bikes or e-motorcycles. Now, while the safety concerns of reckless riding are …

When it goes all the way to the top, their question isn’t how should we stop them, it’s how can we get in on this?

I'm likely being overly specific, but blocking npm downloads, installation on corporate devices, etc is trivial in a restrictive corporate environment.

Not quietly. Uploads are commonly monitored by data loss prevention (DLP) solutions, especially when MITM is being used for corporate proxy. Downloading a tiny JS from a CDN, or ac…

I've been trying out MCP servers for FreeCAD to mixed results. One area I had near magic was providing a land survey which includes details in writing of the plat. It took those di…

I've done this exact approach before. It's a good way to exfiltrate data. Post the software on GitHub pages, or a popular CDN that co-hosts other shared libraries and you've got a …

Admittedly I’m unsure if it was Google or DuckDuckGo. I switch between both. I quickly asked the in search AI for a UTC time conversion like a lazy fool and it got it off by almost…

Sadly it’s going to be more nuanced. The Bedrock models, at least, have additional click through EULAs for Anthropic models. You’re going to need to review and agree to those as we…
