We need something to replace it. Lemmy isn't quite there yet.

AWS doesn't consider them sensitive, but some organizations do. My feeling is that I would rather avoid leaking any info about my AWS environments. Just because AWS doesn't think they can be dangerous doesn't mean someone e

I did this at a previous employer. I leveraged a Lambda functions and tags applied to instances to determine when they should be and when they should be off.

I don't believe CALEA has any provisions for requiring CA providers to allow decrypt.

It's odd that regular testing wasn't part of a compliance framework for them. BC/DR testing has been part of every security/compliance framework I've worked with.

It's sad that this is framed as a zero-sum game. At my current role, the expectation is three days a week in the office, but no one freaks out if you end up working remotely for a week.

If I'm disconnected from the real-world impact of my job, I'm likely to think it's bullshit. That doesn't make it a bullshit job; that just means that I can't see how it fits into the bigger picture. Companies aren&

I'm not sold on the idea that this is an either/or scenario. Classroom-based instruction is critical, imho, for social development, but having personalized learning as an option for areas of struggle (or areas of excellence) that

This was the quote that came to mind. I read that book many times as a kid and that quote really stuck with me.

I used to love Graylog, but I was evaluated it for use with AWS and a) it's AWS bits seem limited and b) I found a bunch of deadlinks from their github to their site. If they can't keep their docs updated, it doesn't give me

SumoLogic is also not cheap.

Unity already has license fees if your game earns money. This new license change comes across like a shameless money grab.

It's fair to say Meta didn't give the data, but they provided a platform that allowed CA to develop the app which gathered the data. On the topic of data privacy, that's a bad step by Meta.

Meta literally allowed their data to be used by Cambridge Analytica in a fashion that likely swayed the 2016 US election. EDIT: Well, this was certainly wrong. I'm leaving this up as a testament to not double-checking my assumptions.

You could say that about most ToS bits. A lot of them are hard to prove. This at least provides a potential legal remedy in the event that a) they are lying and b) we are able to determine that. It's better than nothing (assuming you&#

The takeaway seems less about nifty coding and more about working in isolation. The author found a path he thought would solve the problem and was 'clever', but never really got feedback from peers. I've done that myself; bee

You still end up beholden to a service. They have human beings now, but they might not in the future. Or they could vanish. Even running everything on your own systems is risky because you still end up being reliant on domain registrars.

A lot of Internet users don't want to pay for content and don't want ads. I guess they're hoping some deity will magically pay all the content producers.

I get it, but man that's some hyperbole in there. I like Mastodon, but since there's still good stuff on other sites, I will read those, too. If the author thinks he's outsmarted analytics and tracking, they should check with

Years ago, I wanted to learn Unix so I installed FreeBSD and ran mail and DNS on it. I thought, this will be a great learning experience. Except...it never broke. There was never anything to fix, so I didn't really learn that much from

If you have to run an "Enterprise Linux", you are probably required by regulations or compliance to have a support agreement in place. Whether it's RedHat or Oracle or something else, security is going take third place to com

How does Peeng differentiate between 'pings' from different services coming from the same IP? Payload? For example, if I wanted to use this for an appserver and db server and both have a NAT gw as the source, would I need to separ

The US government doesn't really have a great track record of doing this any better.

On a related note, could the leader of the team have shutdown a supercomputer by shooting the monitor?

As a development exercise, this is neat, but its extreme focus on software dev makes it just that: an exercise. Slack incorporates all of the extra stuff suc ignores because it's a service; you're paying for someone else to hand

Don't taxes on things like cigarettes and sodas disproportionally affect lower-income folks? Intended or not, it comes off as a bit classist. I don't have a better solution, tbh.
