A friend sent this to me and y'all might enjoy

some_natalie,

@tweedge I'm pretty sure my contractor grade "smart oven" is secretly mining crypto or something. I didn't think it was possible for a simple appliance to have a UI that sucks so badly. It's slow and feels warm, even when the oven is cold.

None of us actually enjoy having to call out tech conferences for still in our year 2024 having zero speakers who aren’t white men. Getting lots of comment abuse, legal threats, guilt trips, and being known for that instead of our jobs isn’t like great or fun, actually.

some_natalie,

@hacks4pancakes 1000%

Further, the lack of diverse conference speakers continues to perpetuate the problem - when you don't see folks that look like you in positions of knowledge, it's so much easier to just give up because you don't belong here. Or just not prioritize writing that CFP, or asking for that promotion/new role, or applying to that really cool job.

Edit / add - thank you so so much for saying this! :heart_cyber:

This post from DHH is a must read for any engineering manager.

It's not just uptime at stake either - it's security too. WAY too many security issues are caused by technology that never needed to be part of the stack at that scale anyway...

Innovation is dead. In its place, companies just add internet connectivity and voice control in places it’s absolutely not needed so they can pretend extracting data and profit is the same as progress. No one needs a “smart” bidet.

We're getting sick of sharing a platform with goosesteppers. Can anyone recommend a good alternative to Substack? We're drawing up a shortlist.

some_natalie,

@nf3xn @riskybusiness just gonna jump in with Hugo, Gatsby, and other static site generators work now too. Use Actions to build and deploy more or less anything static - don't have to be locked in to Jekyll (even if it's fabulous). :ruby:

some_natalie,

@nf3xn @riskybusiness committing the html is barbaric 🤣

https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/ is Hugo's directions. I thought there were some generic BYO generator directions somewhere, but not sure now ....

Me for the past 5 hours with 1 hour to go

some_natalie,

@jerry fluffy kitty cuddles! May I ask what the kitty blanket/wrap is? Does it provide some secure way to let them roam a little in the car for cuddles?

I'm taking my kitty on a cross-country road trip because a couple other care ideas fell through. She doesn't like car rides or kitty halters/collars much though.

some_natalie,

@jerry Thank you!!!

You either deploy adblocking or ransomware.

some_natalie,

@SwiftOnSecurity found this while cleaning out ... in the war of adblockers vs ransomware, it's the only way to be sure :awesome:

briankrebs, (edited ) to random

I've grudgingly come around to the notion that there is only one way out of the ransomware problem: Make paying a ransom illegal. This is not very different from laws that make it illegal for US companies to pay bribes to foreign officials.

I really don't see any other way out of this mess. Yes, some victims will unfortunately ignore any laws that say they can't pay, but enforcement probably will not be hard.

What will be difficult are the situations where peoples' lives are at stake in ransomware incidents This sounds callous, but we can't afford to take the short view here anymore, and our other alternatives aren't great either.

I'm quite certain this is an unpopular view, but we have already seen the cost of doing nothing. At least in the interests of congruity for our financial sanctions vs Russia, we should probably make this change sooner rather than later.

some_natalie,

@briankrebs even Skeletor agrees - fining companies for incidents (ransomware or otherwise) tends to be a cost of doing business :thinking_very_hard:

    I am going to start moving Infosec.exchange behind Fastly. If it goes well, no one will notice. If I screw up, you’ll notice.

    My money is on screwing up.

    some_natalie,

    @jerry Then it'll be a great story :heart_cybre:

    I love how these casually genderswapped images illustrate how weird things are, and hint at how we could do better

    some_natalie,

    @vonzo @bjb @codinghorror I know we're all making a very serious point about sexism, but given the subject matter ... maybe this is maybe even better as a fact :awesome:

    Gordon Freeman was 27, what’s your excuse?

    some_natalie,

    @codinghorror @SwiftOnSecurity Gordon wasn't at fault - he was the new postdoc in the lab. That's more like indentured servitude ... 😇
