Loved the main write up by @daedalus in the recent issue of #TheCrux . It reinforces why I fell in love with Open Source and try to help out where I can with my limited skills. #opensource #bsd #linux

This morning I needed a simple S3-compatible object store to test something. I did some quick searches to see what was handy and useful in that space right now, eventually found SeaweedFS, and it did exactly what I needed ...

And *then* I opened today's issue of The Crux by @daedalus which would have given me this exact answer immediately and saved me a lot of time.

Don't repeat my mistake. Always read The Crux with your morning coffee before you attempt any other work.

@daedalus Yes, but what a wild set of security holes & leaks you reported in #TheCrux this week.
My favorites:
Microsoft never heard of memory overrun leaks, like Citrix Bleed, so put all saved passwords into clear text in Edge browser at startup.
Japanese hotel check in system put 1 million photos of passports & drivers licences into cloud storage apparently actively made publicly visible.

I didn't have much to say for #TheCrux this week, so I wrote a silly thing about yak shaving.

One for you maybe @dgerard that I've including in this week's issue of #TheCrux: some Bitcoin mining outfit called IREN (based in Sydney apparently) just bought OpenStack/Kubernetes/Docker veteran Mirantis: https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/infrastructure/iren-buys-mirantis-for-625m-to-unlock-ai-compute-utilization

They have SEC filings https://iren.com/investors/sec-filings showing they mostly lose money mining Bitcoin but have done a pivot to AI because of course they have.

IREN Buys Mirantis for $625M to Unlock AI Compute Utilization

The $625 million deal adds Kubernetes and enterprise ops to help turn deployed GPUs into usable, revenue-generating AI infrastructure.

Better think of a rant for this week's issue of #TheCrux

@CaptMikeYates a zing worthy of #TheCrux!

Writing this week's issue of #TheCrux newsletter, and I think I might start giving out a Security Bandage Award.

"NASA has released the original source code for the #Apollo11 Guidance Computer into the public domain. Now we can all be humbled by what #MargaretHamilton managed to do with less #RAM than a modern USB keyboard."
