Anything that has root/kernel access is a risk. It always has been. When will we learn. Probably never. Because money runs this world. So sad. Time to open a bakery and move on from this world.

A manager needs to do their own CYA. If they don't, well, that's on them. But you as an individual should only focus on what you can control.

I'm sure they can try. But put yourself in the shoes of that engineer. Imagine what would go through your head. My entire MO would be CYA. Every 1on1 conversation, secretly recorded (thank you favorable NY state laws), and a paper trail a mile long. For just this reason.

They have the ability to sign files with Microsoft certs?

Life is just a giant story we tell ourselves. This is no different. Who knows what tomorrow's story will tell!

>Nobody ever asks if these data centers are actually providing any value to society.

Please, do not spot with data centers. It is an element of our consumer based economy. We should ask why for many things we consume in our life. Data centers are just a byproduct of this consumption.

>Cox's support organization was presented with a compromised device being handed to them by an infosec professional, and they couldn't handle it effectively at all.

I can't really blame them. The number of customers able to qualify that a device has actually been hacked is nearly zero. But do you know how many naive users out there that will call/visit because they think they've been hacked? It's unfortunately larger than the former. And that'll cost the business money. When 99.9% of those cases, the user is wrong. They have not been hacked. I say this as someone who supported home users in the 2000s. Home users that often think they'd been "hacked".

> but people use Discord because it's convenient.

This is it. The brain is wired to expend the least amount of energy possible. Online communities of the past were held up by the few. Those willing to do the work.

>IMHO, the real problem is that there is zero value to go to bby.

If I need something asap, and they have it. That's the value.

For sure! If anyone is looking to expand on this, the book Ratio by Michael Ruhlman is a must.

Yeah. I'm done. My five year plan is to open a bakery. If I'm gonna slave away, might as well be for my own sake.

>So, I will repeat it again: our greatest asset isn't the code we write. It’s us, alive, and living the life.

This is so important. Our work is an extension of us. Our state in the moment will bleed into all areas of life. There is nothing more important. As we are limitless potential. But only if we are living in the here and now.

More words?

>Does Twitter have any software developers left

Not many people in the field actually understand protocols at the RFC level. That's the real crux.

>Not sure why but it's a plague

Perceived SEO

Absolutely. So the question is, did FB view this through that lens? If they did, then maybe the ROI wasn't there. So they said fuck it.

What incentive does FB have to limit that access? Feels like MBAs would just see that as a cost/burden? We know FB does give a fuck about privacy, so that’s never gonna be a reason.

You’d think that. But having spent time higher for operations/support in higher ed, it’s really hard to attract people that have a quality foundation of knowledge.

We don’t pay enough

The illusion of control. In a life that is anything but certain. Tales of the ego.

What’s interesting is I’ve been pushing 20-25 up for the last month or so.

Have you stopped to think why this bothers you?

>“One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations.”

This is important. We are limitless potential. To embody that, is to understand that life is uncertain. It's great to set goals. But don't take them too seriously. Or you will get lost in the concept.

Exactly. Not many folks catching federal charges for simple possession. trafficking on the other hand....

Have you played with the newest bend insensitive fiber? You can wrap it around a pencil and an otdr shows no or minimal loss. But I think you’re correct about damage from average consumers. They’d destroy the ferrule in no time.

>A big problem today regarding Ipv6 is the still missing auto configuration on most devices and router sided problems like don't sending out router advertisements with the prefix.

Huh, I haven't seen that issue with RAs. So far, my SLAAC deployment is playing nicely with my endpoints. About 40k devices, all BYOD. SLAAC seems like the only way to make this go. Because Android still has no intention of implementing DHCPv6. :(

If you live in the US. Auto parts stores take used oil. As do Walmarts with auto service centers. I’ve never had an issue.

I think your take hits the nail on the head. Most people have zero interest in running their own website.we live in a world where people have no clue how things work. They just want it to work and not have to understand how.

People could change their own brakes and oil too. But how many folks want to? Not many. It doesn’t provide value to them. Just like a personal website wouldn’t provide value to them. Hence, like you said, social media pages are their “personal website”.

This is neat! Might get your interface disabled though in my network. I rate limit ingress ARP on access ports. :)

>Seeing that over 90% of my traffic load was malicious and abusive was frustrating. Dealing with the abuse emails and complaints was worse.

My take. I suspect Cloudflare benefited allowing that traffic. It's another data point/tool in their toolbox against the baddies.
