To be honest, with Azure Devops platforms, web app instances, containers and deployment slots, its almost bulletproof once you spend the time to get it originally configured. Same with AWS I imagine.

Deciding to sell this on the darknet is a life changing decision, white to black overnight and imagine not really something most would contemplate. Payment in BTC probably from an already compromised address so loads of factors. Probably an

The newer generation smart meters operate on their own network, so that its critical and separate infrastructure so this won't happen again in the future. Also you have to be pretty set on not getting a smart meter as it removes you f

Without knowing the problem or context, I will take this on the basis of a "coding problem" where I may be tasked to create a piece of software/code/webapp to solve the needs. I take things a bit differently to most, I f

That's a great read, many people get burned out. Have spoken to a few people who left the industry to do something else, most of them came back a few never did. The grass isn't always greener, some people can easily work through a

I have been using chroot since approx 04 when I found it during my first Gentoo install, what docker did for me was make it so much easier to deploy various environments, due to how much exposure they have. It took a good amount of effort t

As someone who has used FreeBSD exclusively on bare-metal corporate production servers for the last 10 years, I still wouldn't use it on desktops/workstations. It's built as a server OS and my opinion is that it does this ve

So for some reason I am just discovering borg (been an rsync.net customer since 2014), currently all my data is GPG encrypted on the client side, so database dumps, files and server logs. I have a custom script that encrypts all files, the

In current times if a site was expecting high load or large amounts of traffic, it would be a bad idea NOT to have it behind a well configured load balancer and tested to a scale beyond what you expect. A simple python web API can handle 3k

Use a whiteboard/pen paper with a webcam, as if you two were in the same room. Just because we have every productivity application available to us, it doesn't mean we have to use them or approach things any differently, half of th

When you stat answering more questions on irc and stackoverflow than you ask about complicated areas. Building basic sites ans blogs is easy, but say someone asked you to read data from an old database or connect to a payment backend that d
