Jamie is a cool guy. He’s also super smart. But he’s not infallible, and so I must secure this and only run it from the internal admin network. Because that’s best-practice.

You understand that, with a store-and-forward service, speed doesn’t mean a damned thing, right?

You DO get that … right?

It’s like gauging English spelling based on what’s popular on Youtube.

Neat. But don’t call me Microlandia.

Robin Williams told that one.

I’m non-container - too much time in security - but that’s a wicked workflow. Well done.

You updated f’jo with renovate? Badass.

Been there. Never again.

It’s amazing the risk profile of that.

SNMP.

The old engine was nagios. The new engine will be telegraf -> mqtt -> brokerfest -> timescale -> Prometheus.

I guess. Not sure yet. The brokerfest is a series of broker pubsub between sites to both split out data from the stream for off-site CC, or pull it’s own subscriptions in. Data could go host <- telegraf -> broker -> remote broker -> remote timescale -> remote Prometheus

You’re gonna get different viewpoints, ranging from “yeah, but it’s popular” to “shut up”.

did […] started

Downhill indeed

a […] software

Nope. Software doesn’t get an ‘a’ in front of it; it’s like saying ‘a happy’.

This bot is missing a line dereferencing ‘comm’, as “community, by people who don’t know what comm has meant for 60 years already”

Docker kills SLSA ad ISO27002. Anything post-container?

You upgraded from ansible to ssh. As someone forced to write yaml for ansible professionally and has used many other config management tools, I can only commend your success at escaping ansible.

Try mgmtconfig.

People change. Even Strom Thurmond voted for MLK days and hired non-whites in his crew. Not a redemption - he famously voted against rights his illegitimate daughter needed - but a change.

People aren’t gonna sea-change so much, but do look for and celebrate their evolution when it’s positive.

softwares

Not a word. That’s like saying “2 helps” or “5 happies”.

Go check SLSA.dev .

Declarative is awesome.

Phew. Dodged a bullet just by adhering to SLSA.

When the enterprise OS company I worked for in 2k1 was considering forking a Linux distro to offer as a freemium product, they evaluated enterprise Linux and Debian.

Debian lost then as its package format had weaker validation and consistency guarantees. It’d’ve been harder to support.

The packaging in both hasn’t changed much, except RH forgot how to use /etc/alternatives properly and now has some ungodly rinkydink thing supplementing it like a colo bag on the side, but the validation difference is still there.

Maybe that was why. Both are riddled with fridge art - oh hi Systemd, network manager, et al - but both are generally similar other than packaging and pipeline.

high maintenance costs of VLANs

Said no one ever, until now.

Wonderfully succinct. Thank you for caring about strangers representing themselves best and better.

<shudder> not again

Wrecking

Wracking?

Everytime

Still, still not a word. It hasn’t been a word, and maybe it will never be a word.

I don’t host on containers because I used to do OS security for a while.
