Just quietly putting it out there for any #zfs nerds in Oz that may be interested.

@Cloudflare 48 hours later and still no reply from support. What sort of a business are you running there?

@Cloudflare 3 hours with no reply to a P4 urgent support request on a paid account! ID# 01204468 WTF?!

What they said!

@TomLawrenceTech Right on the money TL!

Would you hire an employee that randomly hallucinated? Imagine a brilliant employee who consistently delivers impressive work, but also has episodes of random hallucinations leading to them confidently presenting a mix of accurate data and complete fabrications that are not easily noticed without careful examination. If such this disqualifies a human candidate, why do people hyping AI readily ignore similar – and potentially unsolvable – hallucination issues in AI when it comes to replacing human jobs? I get why AI is exciting. AI is remarkably effective at acquiring tacit knowledge rather than relying on hard coded procedures and does so by learning by example, gains mastery without explicit instruction, and acquires capabilities that it was not explicitly engineered to possess. Despite all of that, I feel that AI is still just a tool to augment our work, not replace the workers.

"Stealing everything you’ve ever typed or viewed on your own Windows PC is now possible with two lines of code" This post by @GossiTheDog is also good reminder to never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by a group of well funded and out of touch developers at Microsoft. doublepulsar.com/recall-stealin…

@EscapeNet_Au having an outage in VIC? No NBN here and a traceroute stops at your GW. Your phones are also down.

We're investigating reports of issues accessing some Microsoft 365 services, and we're reviewing our service telemetry to determine next troubleshooting steps. For more information, please see MO790828 in the admin center.

@TechnoTimLive If you're checking out distros I highly recommend KDE Neon it's been my go to for a few years now once you see the current version the distro speaks for itself.

@GerardoAltman Nope, dual boot

I did a thing

@TechnoTimLive Does that mean you've ditched windows?

@nixcraft Why is the photo dated 2009?

IBM nearing deal for cloud software provider HashiCorp, source says. IBM is about to ruin one more company.

SharePoint users should beware since audit logs on the platform have proved relatively simple to circumvent, meaning malicious actors could exfiltrate your data without tipping off your security team. If you're hoping that Microsoft will act quickly to fix the matter, don't.... theregister.com/2024/04/10/mic…

@slightlycode @ChrisArter @mateusjatenee If we are talking about what a minimal client needs to run the stack and host a few sites. 8GB Ram, 4vCPU, 160 GB Storage. This will let you run approx 30 low traffic sites. We have these packages pre built for Agencies etc velocityhost.com.au/cloud-hosting-…

@ChrisArter @mateusjatenee @GerardoAltman what would you say your average deployment of cPanel is?

If we are talking about min server spec required to run cPanel 2GB Ram, 50-100 GB OS Drive, 2vCPU. That's just for cPanel/ whm to run on top of OS. Then what ever the hosted app requires + what ever the resources needed to handle the number of simultaneous connections to the host.

O yes the always churning machine. Have you considered @Nextclouders ? #nextcloud

Carl Weathers will always be a legend. An extraordinary athlete, a fantastic actor, and a great person. We couldn’t have made Predator without him. And we certainly wouldn’t have had such a wonderful time making it.

Dropbox continues to completely miss the mark. I just wanted my files. Synced. I would remain a paying customer forever. But not if they play with my data. arstechnica.com/?p=1990819

Google Drive appears to have lost some of it's users files per their support post with more and more people joining in the dataloss discussion. This is a reminder that just because it's in some cloud service you pay for, you still should have a backup either on site or backed up to another service. As a Google Workspace user I have been using Synology to backup all my data just in case, but thus far I have not been impacted by this. I do have a video showing how to use Synology for backing up both Google & Office 365 here: youtu.be/Yb2UUUnF0hc?si… And here is the Google support link with users and Google discussing the situation: support.google.com/drive/thread/2…

@TomLawrenceTech 😆 can't get approval for down time to patch something that could potentially bring down the entire organisation for who knows how long!? Not to mention if breached may never get them out of the ORG. Sounds like they need an unplanned outage to see how quick the recovery is?

"The cybersecurity reality we live in now is teenagers are running around in organized crime gangs with digital bazooka’s. They probably have a better asset inventory of your network than you, and they don’t have to wait 4 weeks for 38 people to approve a change request for patching 1 thing." If you think that patching critical public facing infrastructure within 24hrs is not a realistic goal then tell me why! Despite all the security awareness we have here in 2023, all the new fancy tools we have, and all the celebration of coordinated government take downs of threat actor groups, cybercrime gangs are still on the rise hitting more companies and making more money than ever this year. You need to be able to identify and patch something like CitrixBleed within 24 hours — if you cannot, there is a very real possibility it isn’t the ideal product fit for your company due to the level of risk it poses, and you need to rethink if the architecture and look for a solution you can manage. The LockBit ransomware group has assembled a strike team to breach banks, law firms and governments and I don't see this stopping anytime soon.
