@SwiftOnSecurity Biggest thing people can do to improve things is to use different retention periods for different data sources. You don't want your IDS or AV alerts going into the same bucket as bulk flow data or firewall logs and being subject to the same retention policy.
One aspect of security configuration I don't see talked about enough is verbosity vs retention.
Do you really want this event of marginal use if it makes you have 20 fewer days before logs turnover?
@MikeDrucker Whenever they make those volunteer announcements I go to the counter and ask for $1000, comfort+ or better on my reroute, and a first class domestic voucher. Based on how often that works, they must be authorized to go much higher.
At JFK. Guy behind the counter asks for a volunteer to give up a seat for $500. Nothing. "$550." The crowd suddenly coalesces to shout "HIGHER!" like it was a game show. "$750" "HIGHER! "800!" "NOT IN NEW YORK! GO HIGHER!" They applauded the elderly woman who took it at $1100.
@SwiftOnSecurity I was once handed a database of IP phone MAC addresses. All of the zeroes were O's. This was supposed to be the source of truth used for the E911 system.
I recently complained to our Ops team they were putting the letter O in numeric asset tag names.
Turns out Lenovo accidentally encodes the letter instead of the number in some barcodes. Oh my god.
Have humility on where you think the fuckup occurred you'll get humbled fast.
ChatGPT is cool but would be awesome if it could reason about the data it does know to provide answers… example, it likely knows the answer to the first question but doesn’t give it.
Awhile back I theorized about a DB that was a core set of APIs where if you wanted a set of functionality (let’s say doc model or row/columns) you would install modules enabling that functionality. A WASM defined DB.

@TechConnectify My first run in with those:
Move into apartment.
Connect computer, router, etc.
Leave room, flip lights off on the way out.
Computer, router all turn off.
They are nice for lamps though :-)
@noIPv6 Yeah, would love to, but we make appliances, so we have to support the full crazy matrix of possible configurations. Would be great to be able to rip out all the ipv4 options and only have to support a single configuration instead of three.
@JustinAzoff absolutely!
& what you describe is exactly why everyone who CAN (& knows what their doing) moves to v6-only/v6-mostly as fast as they can, to reduce the # of places they HAVE TO support legacy ip 🙃
The thousands of developers that are staying must know what is best for them. I really wish those hundreds of people the best. They are going to be working with dozens of the best developers. The four of them are going to have a great time working for the new leadership.

@Beyond2Parties@colmmacc As he tried to explain to you, a state name is not 13 bytes of information because there are only 50 states and you only need 6 bits to count to 50.
If every 13 character string like "dhprckwbpdcau" was a valid state then you might have a point, but they aren't, and you don't.
Folks this Approval Voting account is trying to explain information theory to me and I just can't even. If anyone happens to know who they are IRL and could help them, please do.
@Foone I'd vote for Dragon's Lair, an actual terrible game. I'm sure some people like it and knew what to do, but I'm pretty sure when I was a kid I spent many dollars just to immediately die at the beginning after pressing one button.
