Ubiquiti patched two UniFi Network Application vulnerabilities, including a maximum-severity flaw that may allow attackers to take over user accounts. bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…

🚨 Cisco Firewall 0-day Vulnerability Exploited in the Wild to Deploy Interlock Ransomware Source: cybersecuritynews.com/cisco-firewall… An active campaign by the Interlock ransomware group is exploiting a critical zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2026-20131) in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software. The vulnerability may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary Java code with root privileges on an affected device. The investigation advanced when a misconfigured infrastructure server exposed Interlock’s complete operational toolkit. Initial threat activity involved HTTP requests to a vulnerable software path, containing Java code execution attempts and embedded URLs. #cybersecuritynews #cisco

45Drives is heading to Ceph Days Raleigh on March 25, 2026. This full-day event brings together Ceph experts, core contributors, partners, and community members to discuss the latest developments in the Ceph project, upcoming roadmap initiatives, and real-world deployments. The day will conclude with a networking reception for attendees. We’re also proud to share that Mitch Hall, Chief Architect at 45Drives and Ceph Foundation Board Member, will be presenting: “FastEC in Ceph Tentacle: A Technical Deep Dive into Next-Gen Erasure Coding Performance.” If you're in the Raleigh area and interested in open-source storage, Ceph innovation, and connecting with the community, this is a great opportunity to join the conversation.

We in the level1techs community have launched a sensor telemetry package on Linux, in rust, that hopefully doesn't suck. github.com/level1techs/si…

Why upgrade from 1U to 2U for your gateway? Brett breaks down our newest gateway design and shows how the extra space improves performance, reliability, and scalability for Ceph storage clusters. If you're building or managing high-performance storage infrastructure, this is worth a look. ow.ly/19Lh50YpRFx 🎥 Watch the full video now to see the design in action. #Ceph #ServerHardware #StorageServers #DataCenter #TechInfrastructure

🔥 Throwback to Creator Summit 2024 – Cluster Jenga For the past three years, we’ve hosted Creator Summit to bring creators and infrastructure experts into the same room, and in 2024, we decided to test that collaboration live. With @TomLawrenceTech , @TechnoTimLive , @RaidOwlTweets , @CraftComputing and more, we built a fully redundant Ceph cluster and started pulling it apart mid–data transfer, drives removed, network cables unplugged, and power cut — to see how long real open-source infrastructure could stay online under pressure. No slides. No theory. Just architecture, resilience, and high availability tested in front of a live audience. If you haven’t watched this session yet, now’s the time: ow.ly/TcIj50YociT And if this is what year three looked like… just wait for what’s next. @PhillComm #45Drives #CreatorSummit #OpenSource #Ceph #HighAvailability #DataResilience #StorageArchitecture #TechCommunity #Infrastructure #Creatorsummit2026

@bears0 @arstechnica In the context of cybersecurity the details matter. The article implies you've found a flaw in the math that allows you to turn ciphertext into plaintext without the key. This is a Control Bypass that it attacks the logic of the network, not the locks on the data.

@TomLawrenceTech @arstechnica It can be used to bypass encryption. It’s in the third paragraph of this picture which can be found in the original article

Hey @arstechnica AirSnitch DOES NOT bypass WiFi encryption. It breaks client isolation per the title of the paper. arstechnica.com/security/2026/…

Is SMART back? Today's TrueNAS Tech Talk is short but sweet - there's a quick hotfix for TrueNAS 25.10.2, an official TrueNAS Proxmox storage plugin is available for Community testing, Docker network support is landing in the App catalog - and an update on plans for SMART options for monitoring drive health.

Object storage is quickly becoming the standard for modern infrastructure but managing S3 shouldn’t require multiple dashboards or paid third-party tools. In this technical overview, Brett Kelly walks through the latest updates to Houston UI, including: • Native S3 management built directly into the File Sharing module • Support for Ceph S3, MinIO, and Garage (RustFS coming soon) • A new S3 Object Browser for Linux • Endpoint-agnostic access to any S3-compatible platform including Amazon Web Services and Linode The video also breaks down an important topic many teams overlook: differences in S3 protocol implementations and how centralized management simplifies operations across environments. If you're running on-prem object storage, hybrid cloud, or multi-site infrastructure, this update is designed to reduce complexity and give you full control without added licensing layers.

Big upgrade. Bigger performance. We’re giving you a first look at what’s next for the Storinator Hybrid lineup. Brett Kelly walks through the evolution of our F8X1, F8X2, and F8X3 now moving from SATA SSDs to high-performance NVMe. The result? Dramatically higher IOPS, lower latency, and the enterprise-grade reliability you expect. If you're running Ceph, ZFS, or other software-defined storage platforms, this is built for demanding workloads that can’t slow down. What’s changing: • NVMe replacing SATA for serious performance gains • Innovative busbar power delivery • Custom 45Drives fan controller • NVMe boot drives This is the next generation of Hybrid storage. Watch the full video to see what’s coming and why NVMe changes everything: ow.ly/YGYk50YljA6 New Hybrid NVMe systems. Coming soon.

My homelab has changed again… 2026. Full rack tour + upgrades: network, compute, storage, and power. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=-KJ0jm… Chapters are in the description.

In this in-depth session, Mitch Hall joins Tom Lawrence from Lawrence Systems to explore Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) and the essential disaster recovery concepts every IT team needs to understand: Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO). If you're running Proxmox VE in a homelab, SMB environment, or enterprise cluster, backups aren’t just about storing data — they’re about ensuring fast recovery and minimal data loss when it matters most. Mitch and Tom break down: The real difference between RTO and RPO How Proxmox Backup Server improves backup performance and efficiency Deduplication, compression, and incremental backup strategies Designing a disaster recovery plan that aligns with business uptime requirements Practical recovery workflows inside Proxmox VE Whether you're building a resilient homelab, managing virtualization infrastructure, or architecting high-availability production environments, this conversation will help you create a backup strategy that’s reliable, scalable, and aligned with real-world recovery goals. Watch now to strengthen your Proxmox backup and disaster recovery strategy: youtube.com/watch?v=tRqLzs…
