#MorningAll & #TZAG G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!
Monday has dawned super bright & warm, like an excited teenager off to the seaside!
Not much on today - I was going to tackle the shed today but it’s going to be stonking hot , I may leave it till the end of the week when it’s slightly cooler.
Anyone accusing me of procrastination will have to wait their turn!
I'm still developing the MS-SQL honeypot. So far I have output plug-ins for:
InfluxDB 2.0 (requires Python 3.x; the rest and the honeypot itself run on 2.x just fine)
JSON
local syslog (Linux only)
MongoDB
MySQL
RedisDB
SQLite3
Text file
meaning that the honeypot can output the collected data to servers sunning such databases or log files.
I have more planed but I couldn't find a reasonably good and free provider to test my code.
Is any of you running one of the following and willing to provide me access for a short while (just to make sure that I correctly send the data there):
CouchDB
Discord
Elasticsearch
HPFeeds
InfluxDB (not InfluxDB 2.0)
Kafka? (I'm not sure how to send data to a Kafka server)
MISP
RethinkDB
Slack
Splunk
Telegram (essentially, you'll need to register a Telegram bot and grant me access to it - i.e., bot token and chat_id)
XMPP
I've found free hosting providers for CouchDB, Elasticsearch, and RethinkDB but they suck and I couldn't figure out how to connect to the servers/databases.
At first it is hard to believe that most people don't pay much attention to politics. Most people don't know what "project 24" is or the significance of the phrase "obstructing an official procedure" (maybe you are such a person) --but, when I think about how tense, nervous and occasionally helpless political news makes me feel I totally get it. Also, a lot of this stuff is boring and kind of technical.
#OTD 24 June 1751 Eric Ericsson married Stina Månsdotter in Grebo Parish, Östergötland. Eric took over the croft of Lilla Björksved on the lands of Rösten from Stina's father. The couple had eight children: four sons and four daughters.
Stina, my 5th-great-grandmother, is the earliest known ancestor with an inherited health condition that has plagued this branch of my Swedish family. Her story, with many questions, appeared in a blog post last year. #genealogy
Do any of you have an ambient music making app on your phone that you enjoy? I'm thinking something like a simple synthesizer simulator that lets you make ethereal soundscapes to relax to or to save to use as background music?
I have a vague memory of an app like this years ago...
@rbreich being “just” 55 years, I do ask myself the same question about the people here in eastern parts of Germany. They vote for a fascist party and I don’t know how they came to get to a point in which one would do that. Some may be too young to understand, but a lot are old enough to have grown up in a semi-fascist society: the GDR.
Did they really forget about it all?
Or do they think “well, it wasn’t that bad last time, how could it be worse?”
I hope America will choose Biden.
"Trump could have saved lives by setting a better example during the early days of COVID."
This is true. But doing things like wearing a mask, being supportive of the public health education initiatives was not free for Trump it would have cost him politically. These actions would not win him acclaim with people like me (since to me it's "just doing your damn job") but they would have made him less popular with some of his base.
