TFW you put your main SIEM in the cloud for resilience but it was hosted in the datacenter that ate a ballistic missile.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

AI is not inevitable. If we had sane people in government that were not in thrall to billionaire tech CEOs, LLMs could be regulated, forced to obey existing copyright laws, and banned from places where their use is inappropriate, such as college classes. This should be a moderate position.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

The reason the good faith seniors on here are posting that the junior / mid level market is bad (it is) is because we have watched it crash in real time and a lotta of us are dealing with serious fallout as both hiring managers or mentors.
It's genuinely a good faith warning. It's not like, "don't get into the field we love". It's just that for a really long time you could get into cybersecurity with no degree and no IT experience because the demand was so high. And schools, influencers, and parents still play it off that it's like that. That people can work full time remote and make 80k entry salary.
It's not. It hasn't been for a couple years. We've been hit by "professionalizing" and oversaturation of graduates. Can you still get in with a sec+, a kali box and a dream? Maybe, if you really meet the right people and get lucky.
Pragmatically though, that won't be the case for 99.9% of young people now, and if we care at all we need to counter the "everything is rosy" message people are using to sell boot camps. We are getting hundreds of cybersecurity grads and laid off professionals with work rights applying for positions.
How can organizations even take the time to look beyond that at hundreds more juniors with no degree, criminal convictions, a GED, needing a' v sponsor, etc?

You really need to take it seriously and make yourself a top candidate. And these days to be competitive you typically need a bachelors, certs, and some hands on IT work experience. You need a very good professional network.
That's not true of every case. People will get lucky.
Or they'll have a security clearance or live in the right remote place for an in person only job. It happens.
Not often. The best thing we can do is try to enforce that they need to work seriously hard and have solid professional credentials.
TLDR we aren't all assholes; some of us are trying to save 20yos from falling for Uncle Bob putting them in a bootcamp to make an easy six figures.

Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’

I wonder if there's a point when the military or individual soldiers say "no" and disregard illegal orders. Will the soldiers fire on Americans in their own country?

Yesterday I published an analysis on the tanker MARINERA arguing that this was not a routine sanctions evasion case and not a simple oil shipment problem because the behavior around this vessel did not fit commercial logic and instead tracked with mission logic.

For me the "stars" were the YouTube algorithm. The talk was at the top of the feed. But also - it's the best talk I've seen in a while so the position was well earned 😊👍

My Ubuntu Summit talk is up! Where I talk about:
1. How Desktop UX is effectively dead
2. Why I hate the term UX/UI with the heat of 1000 suns
3. How OSS can actually innovate in #ux

They found a remote connection which could also be used to disable the vehicles. Calling it a "kill switch" It's a bit like calling every knife in the kitchen a weapon.

It's not great that it's there, but it shouldn't be a surprise either - especially to the people's in charge of the buses.

⚠️ update on #React2Shell

After the POC dropped ~21:04 GMT today, Fastly detected a profound proliferation in the # of requests triggering our NGWAF signal for React2Shell (see graph).

We strongly recommend you immediately identify and update your React / Next.js apps + apply proactive protection.

Hesarin jutusta:
Syksyn mittaan johtajien vaihdokset ovat jatkuneet. Keskiviikkona yhtiö kertoi, että operatiivinen johtaja Tommi Malinen ja viestintäjohtaja Tommi Manninen jättävät yhtiön.

Kaksi viikkoa aiemmin yhtiö oli kertonut, että toimitusjohtaja Jussi Holopainen jättää tehtävänsä. Hän korvasi vasta kesäkuussa Jussi Mälkiän.
