aweiher··on Working on complex systems: What I learned working at Google
System Thinking 101
aweiher··on Doge software engineer's computer infected by info-stealing malware
The first sentence is actually:

> Login credentials belonging to an employee at both the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Department of Government Efficiency have appeared in multiple public leaks from info-stealer malware

Does not sound like clickbait for me.

Using the blind man with probing cane emoji to signify losing in a game is really disappointing
aweiher··on Amazon Web Services dark patterns (2024)
I once tried OpenSearch serverless, as it is advertised as "you only pay for the resources consumed by the workload".

After one month of not using it I was surprised by a 300+$ bill as there is a minimum of 2 OCU billed. Yes it is explained on the billing page later in more technical terms but was still surprising for me as I have a different understanding of "only pay what was consumed".

aweiher··on Google to buy Wiz for $32B
We use wiz and rapid7, so I can compare these two:

Usability of Wiz and the ability to adapt it is so much better. Everyone can get a seat without extra costs, enabling shift-left for the dev teams. Projects make sure they only see what they need to see.

The query engine is top. There are very good presets. Create Boards to share custom queries with the teams.

Compliance frameworks are available. You could inspect the rules, they are written in OPA rego and you could add your own rules.

Cloudtrail search is also a lot better than the one aws is providing.

I could go on and on and on .. this solution has so many powerful features.

"Sandworm" by Andy Greenberg gave me the chills.
aweiher··on Ask HN: Why Keybase?
I still use keybase encrypted git as a backend for my gopass password repository.

Not super happy with it as keybase git is super slow, but did not find any alternatives for encrypted git, which is not self-hosted.

Don't use the keyserver, chat or anything else. But the onboarding of new machines is really nice.
