Jan SchaumannSystem Administration: Week 13: Ethics and Social Responsibility (now with AI, oh boy!)
In this week's lecture, we discuss the professional codes of ethics in our field, some hairy ethical dilemmas encountered by #SysAdmins and other engineers, and how we can take an active role in acting in the public interest as part of our jobs.

There are a number of unsurprising parallels to a conference talk I gave way back at Velocity in 2015:
N-gated Hacker News🎩💻 Behold the hacker's wet dream: bypassing noexec like it's 1999, because who needs #security when you have a #PoC that screams "I told you so" at sysadmins? 🙄 Spoiler alert: defense in depth is just a bedtime story for the gullible. 😴🔍

JohnsOk, I'll try it here and see if someone can help me.
I'm preparing a #Windows11 machine, installed all the software but when is #sysprep time, it fails:
Audit mode cannot be turned on if reserved storage is in use. An update or servicing operation may be using reserved storage.; hr = 0x800F0975
#DISM/Get-ReservedStorageState -> Disabled (done through regedit)
Updates? done, and paused
Tried everything I've found (replacing #spopk, redoing the machine)
Any ideas? #fedihelp #sysadmins #helpdesk

Hi Mastodon-Admins,
I'm the admin of an instance running on v4.3.21 and would like to upgrade to v4.5.0. In the 4.5.0 release notes I can see the update steps for v4.4.8.
Is there any chance I can update directly from v4.3.21 to v4.4.8 or do I have to sequentially update through all the minor releases v4.4.0-v4.4.8?
It’s Friday evening. The production server isn’t responding. VPN drops every two minutes. Three hours later, you’re still fighting configs. Thousands of developers & #sysadmins face this.
@netbird, an #opensource networking platform, can help!

CorootJava TLS has been a blind spot for eBPF-based #observability tools for years. JSSE runs entirely inside the JVM with no exported symbols and nothing to attach to.
Here is how to solve it: https://coroot.com/blog/java-tls-instrumentation-with-ebpf/
Benchmarking our eBPF Java TLS agent against OpenTelemetry, Coroot added only +15% CPU overhead vs +38% from OTEL, which dropped 20% of requests under load.
