This is why when I built our systems, I did most of them using a combination of public/private keys and TOTP 2fa. Also severely isolating those systems so that the list of people w…

It's not just Microsoft, I believe NIST has the same guidelines now. Forcing people to constantly change passwords just means they either iterate a number or write them down. It al…

Lofi is huge because it’s not in the RIAA. So you can actually do stuff with it (like stream) and not get sued.

That’s real slick. Royalty free Lofi is 90% of my music consumption anymore since the RIAA decided they don’t want their artists to be relevant to anyone who is big on streaming.

If you want a value add for your resume, add sumologic. 500mb/day + 7 days retention is free for a non-gmail account and the insight you can get out of it is enormous. Especially i…

How long until DeSantis decides to push for an Arkansas/North Carolina style bathroom bill? I’ll stick to states that aren’t trying to criminalize my partner having to pee.

Vultr/Choopa specifically is like the number 2 source of malicious hosting company traffic we see (number 1 is OVH, cisco's written extensively about them). They're blacklisted in …

Outside Vultr (oof, probably the hosting provider with the second highest amount of malicious traffic coming out of it besides OVH and on our permanent blacklist) solid setup. I'm …

In AWS I’d choose ECS over any k8s variation on price alone before you get to the IAM integrations.

When I first picked up Mesos, it WAS the easiest one out the box. Basic Java bits, 20 minutes, up and running. Compared to the dog and pony show kubernetes docs were.

They're building the hungry hungry hippos for Stellaris Nemesis. Gotta eat them all!

Single best incest simulator on the market now, besides maybe Crusader Kings 2.

To be fair, I’d never use a gnome distro. Basic things are plugins now, because 1% market share says “be super weird and experimental” I switched my x220 to kubuntu after windows 1…

I'm in ops. Devs don't need to be on call, but if it gets to the point where I need you and you refuse to assist, expect your property to get zero time or attention going forward. …

I have found 2 use cases, one of which I've never actually seen in the wild. The most common use case is, "I need to store data where the schema is unknown or can change without no…

How many letters are we going to get behind KeePass? I use KeePassX and have for years. Having 14 forks seems... odd to me. Yeah consumer choice but I'd rather one or two tested so…

Slack is spotty for us

The author calling pfsense, "overpriced," has never actually purchased business grade network equipment. Netgate devices are remarkably affordable for what you pay for them in comp…

Nice astroturf

Yeah we've run into this. Before my time they gave a full application to one developer, who proceeded to build it in a language we barely use on tech no one else in the company und…

> As the article says, it’s the conclusion that’s what’s good for FAANG isn’t necessarily what’s good for your average project. This, stop doing things just because google does the…

They have the option to not be displayed in google search listings then. Google follows robots.txt.

To be fair you probably never made anything in your own time interesting enough for your employer to take notice. I have and the 1 hour time carveout I made during the hiring proce…

Special in that their technical approach is horrible, but viable because who they let you talk to are worse. They're going to have a breach at some point and it'll be legendary.

I'm not exactly surprised. Plaid is the worst of both worlds, a janky ass tech that's just waiting for the first major security breach to cause a huge problem for their users combi…
