We use `sops`[1] to do this and it works really well. There is a Google Cloud KMS keyring (for typical usage) and a GPG key (for emergency/offline usage) set up to handle the encryption/decryption of files that store secrets for e

The moral, legal and technical imperative to protect this data is 100% on the company storing this data. Even if the onus of protecting sensitive personal information were passed on to the performers making a living from this site, they wou

A lot of concepts that originated in plan 9 have been widely adopted by modern unix-like operating systems, most notably the /proc file system, so in a certain sense I would say that it was a successful project. Lack of applications, d

Maintaining your own email infrastructure is a security nightmare on its own right, you are probably better off using Gmail and just GPG encrypting everything unless you really know what you are doing and have a surplus of free time.

Way too common. So many clients I've dealt with have a deployment workflow that is some variation of this.

Amphetamines (used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy) and Benzodiazepines (used to treat anxiety disorders) are both well-known to be addictive. Benzodiazepines in particular can have fatal withdrawal symptoms if a patient quits them cold turkey

In my experience, the sense of "enlightenment" that came from experiments with psychedelic drugs arise from the realization that a very small quantity of chemicals (a dose of LSD is measured in millionths of a gram) can have such

Some people have underlying neurological issues that can manifest in teenage/early adulthood years independently of drug use, although use of psychedelic drugs does tend to exacerbate such problems. It is possible the drugs permanently

The real difference is that a cancer diagnosis is probative (based on measurable, detectable underlying physical pathology) whereas a psychiatric diagnosis is not.

I think a big part of "mathematical maturity" is knowing how important it is to have someone else look over your proofs. Of course you can learn a ton on your own by reading and working exercises and doing research, but there is n

It is really hard to truly self-study in mathematics. Going through the opencourseware and reading textbooks (working as many exercises as you can, of course) will get you only so far. It is important to have someone (ideally with a PhD-lev

Topics to study should include: Unix IPC, signals and syscalls, filesystem and kernel implementation details, and network/socket programming. Being able to read and write C programs goes a really long way. Beej's guides are a good

There are also excellent free and open source frontend interfaces for vault that are out there, such as vault-ui and goldfish. We have used both at my org, since the HashiCorp enterprise pricing is unfortunately not within our budget.

You can also set up vault to encrypt each shard of the root key with the GPG pubkey for each administrator before dumping them to output. This way, plaintext shards of the root key never even touch the disk or otherwise come into view of an

There is more than one way to construct a synthetic identity, but in most cases that I've been aware of, a stolen SSN is used to construct the totally fake identity. Using a completely fake SSN instead of a stolen SSN is what distingui

The SSN of someone "off the grid" would actually be perfect for doing what is called synthetic identity fraud. If a given SSN has no credit history, you can make up a fictitious person and apply for a credit card with it. The appl

The last time I used pine was sometime in 2012 or so, then I switched to mutt. This was how everybody was doing it in that particular organization, for some reason. The only way to check your mail was to ssh into some ancient centos server

I have used Makefiles for a lot of little things over the years. One of the latest things I have found it useful for is automating deployment of websites via Jenkins jobs. It is a lot easier and more manageable if your Jenkins job is set up
