Attackers are being shielded by and adversarial nation states and taking advantage of currency exfiltration via crypto currencies. So, arguably ransomware attacks should be treated as terrorism and, in some cases, acts of war. Whatever 'war' means in this context.
For simple things it's adequate, but the fact that one can SSH is also helpful as there's a RHEL/CentOS base to work on. We're able to get Let's Encrypt working with a bash-only ACME client (dehydrated) is short order.
And you probably have a point, but it's all relative to configuring all that stuff by hand in the CLI, or worse using some other enterprise vendor's attempt at a "usable" UI ... ;)
And I'm being downvoted for that? Seriously? In 13 years of networking I have never once had to reload machine to help with OSPF or BGP convergence. Good networking architecture and planning should mitigate anything other than a couple of minute outage. No routing change should ever require a reload of a server or end node.
Those who are still posting on HN are orders of magnitude more sensitive than those who post on Imgur. The communities are similar-size, yet Imguraffes are much, much more accepting of my comments. What merits a handful of upvotes there brings a downvote or two on this site.
I believe it. Networking is seen as a commodity now. It's transparent until it fails. There's a whole lot of technical debt lurking out there. I personally have seen the dark shadow of spanning tree suck the light out of DevOp engineers eyes.
Like panarky, I wouldn't take that on face value.
I'm going to guess that a significant number of people use the same password for Ebay as for Paypal. Someone's got a lot of incentive to generate some hashes tonight..
I had my 40th on Sunday. I had an interview on the Friday and I had the distinct impression that I did match the interviewers picture of the team member he wanted. This was as Security Engineer working on a relatively large Security team within a large company that hosts a lot of domains. Point of this comment is that this is the first time I walked away thinking 'does he think I'm too old for that role'. Maybe I shouldn't be saying how much I want to work around people who know things I don't.. how much I want to learn. Perhaps I'm expected to be a manager now :(
As a forty something manager - I want to work around people who know things I don't - I want to learn from them. And I do every day :) But ageism is real and you most likely felt it. You might want to focus on team leadership, but certainly never lose your enthusiasm.
Amazon are apparently scanning themselves. If they are doing this then they might figure that the quantity of exposed keys will undermine their reputation. That is quite something in itself.
Amazon AWS support have (at least on here) a reputation for refunding fraudulent usage that stemmed from compromised keys. If that is in fact a policy they follow, it's in their best interests to cut down on leaked AWS credentials.
My newly built Aircooled flat-4 needed running in. Lots of moving parts with fine tolerance needed bedding in. I quickly followed with an oil change to remove the anticipate swarf that resulted. Oil consumption reduced after 500 miles or so as the piston rings sealed up.
Then the vacuum diaphragm on my distributer needed to soften a little. On first use it wasn't flexible enough to move the advance arm quickly within the distributer so my spark advance curve was to low. After breaking it in it is much more responsive.
I would guess speaker diaphragm movement changes as materials wear, weaken or transform into their expected constituency.
Your toaster on the other hand.. maybe the oil will burn off the elements and your toast will taste nicer?
Not a very helpful article for the insomniac. Surely a bigger problem for many people is being able to fall asleep at all, let alone sleep for a required number of hours.
As a rule of thumb anxiety stops people dropping off to sleep while depression causes them to wake early. Sleep apnoea cause very many micro-breaks in sleep.
I would rather that they simply were not allowed conflicts of interest during and after office. No joining companies lobbying for the industry you were supposedly regulating when in office. ETC.
Not allowing conflicts of interests is almost impossible for most politicians: they all have friends in different industries because they need financial support (or popular support anyway). The least you can ask for is transparency and disclosure of ties/relationships/friendships.
Right now they have no chance of being elected unless they spend obscene sums. Remove that need through campaign finance regulations and you will remove an enormous source of leverage. I would be happy to see a 50% mix of public money and 50% individual capped donations making up a cursory figure. Legally require large networks to give free and equal airtime to each candidate with enough support to justify inclusion. It simply cannot be impossible to remove the biggest sources un-democratic influence.
I think there can be some simple regulation. IE take this public office and you must remain impartial for the rest of your career. It should be a privilege to serve.
Take a look at Aspartame controversies. In essence the US Attorney charged with opening a grand jury into their research withdrew and took a job working for Searle, manufacturers of Aspartame. The Grand Jury never occurred. A few years later the FDA Commissioner who gave Aspartame the green light went on to work for their PR company. To this day people don't trust Aspartame even though (debatably) the research shows it's safe.
So even perceived conflicts of interest can adversely affect public perspectives on the objectivity of scientific research. That's not good in a democracy.
