CIRCLE WITH A DOT

all things being equal I'm pretty sure AO3 has better uptime metrics than AWS or Azure

pretty sure a member of my extended family went full dark enlightenment trad catholic convert so that'll be fun when I cross the mississippi river to see them in another decade

@tinker unsurprising given the us fed gov is a big customer of theirs in general & their certs are on the approved list for DoD employee certification requirements.

it must rule not knowing how anything works or being at all curious about it, you actually reap the benefits of shoving a chatbot into every corner of existence

@claralistensprechen3rd @thepacketrat "the butterfly site" refers to bluesky, a website that uses a butterfly-shaped logo. "reliance on external dependencies" refers to a recurring problem in software development. this post has nothing to do with physical butterflies nor a researcher who you seem to have a personal problem with. have a nice day.

NIST announcing it's only going to triage CVEs found in software that the government uses is a great practical joke because there's absolutely no authority that can reasonably catalog every piece of software the government uses

my cynicism here is mostly hyperbolic, fret not, but we're not solving this problem overnight

@thepacketrat pointed out over on the butterfly site that it's a little over 10 years since the left-pad incident. I looked up the wikipedia article he authored about it - March 22. And just about 10 years later after we all learned the dangers of over reliance on external dependencies, we get axios. Everything old is new and no one learns anything ever.

it's just fuckin infostealers man that's it that's all anything is anymore

now class, say it with me:

policy controls that dictate technical controls are not substitutes for actual implementation of technical controls.
