One thing I’ve noticed, particularly with my parents and other older people, is that they are apt to equate confidence with competence. Someone can be spewing a giant bag of horse shit, but if they do it confidently, apparently about half the population will believe it

Just a guess, but I was raised to question all information by my parents, my surroundings and even in school, too.

My parents were raised like this, too, but my grandparents certainly were not (End of Nazi Germany).

I just fear that the younger generation wasn't trained like us and that kills a lot of hope :(

I believe Hetzner needs some people in their incident management department.

Apologies for the downtime on infosec.exchange. Hetzner performed some switch maintenance that was supposed to only cause "momentary packet loss", but in fact disconnected servers from the vlan until I manually refreshed the vlan.

@jerry is my favorite person in the whole infosec.exchange admin team!

Not sure what the scam would have been, but I do love messing with them.

While it's certainly entertaining isn't it a problem to answer to spammers? They now know that your number is valid and someone reads their messages. :thinking:

Management: „Sorry dear customers, we’ve lost all your data to the Russians and Chinese once again. But you will be happy to hear that we won’t pay some scapegoats their full bonus!“

Joke aside I have to ask why security wasn’t part of the target agreement before 🤔

Maintenance alert for infosec. and fedia. services**

On Monday, July 1, I will be performing some disruptive upgrades to the various infosec.*and fedia services.

Notably, I will be upgrading to postrgres 16, upgrading the memory in the database server, consolidating infosec.space onto the infosec.exchange server (this will not change how either instance operates), de-container-ifying pixel, consolidating fedia.social and infosec.town onto the container server, moving fedia.io to less expensive hardware, among others.

The intention is to reduce costs by consolidating, which should not pose a problem since the current hardware was intended to handle growth, and we're experiencing contraction.

Tell me wise veteran: Will the backlog ever be empty? Will there be a time the user won’t click shit? Will top management grace us with a smile one day?

What’s the path to enlightenment? 🙏

The number of active Mastodon accounts continues to drop, including here on Infosec.exchange, however it’s dropping slower than elsewhere. According to https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon we are the number 4 (soon to be number 3) most active instance. I’m not sure whether to be happy or sad.

The new Recall features is a good reason to remind everyone to not do personal shit on your work computer. Please.
