if you update your mikrotik on 7.22 today, do not forget to enable the new RA Guard in the bridge settings.

It help to block some ipv6 router advertising attack.

change log don't say if there is fix to airsnitch or not tough

Technology is not inevitable. We've decided not to have asbestos in our walls, lead in our pipes, or carginogenic chemicals in our food. (If you're going to argue that it's not everywhere, where would you rather live?) We could just not do LLMs. It's allowed.
@decryption For that price you should provide the raspberry hardware as well. Also the overhead of shipping raspberries around and the support of replacing defects one individually sounds like a nightmare. If you have a bunch of them ready in your rack you could automatically deploy and deliver them to your customers.

I am just so tired of this "AI" shit. Truly. Not just the extra maintenance burden on my but the constant discussions that lead nowhere. I can keep making the same arguments against using "AI" for anything relevant from here till the cows come home but it's not gonna change people's opinion. Because they are "on AI" or their bosses force it upon them or whatever.

But honestly. It's all been said. Neither does the tech change significantly (regardless of what the boosters tell you) nor do the other facts at hand, the brain and skill atrophy, the exploitation, the ecological impact, etc. etc. etc.

Dunno. It's hard to keep doing this whole "keep making your point and maybe some people will change their mind thing" when the facts are all on the table and people just have made decisions I find morally questionable.

Maybe I am just tired. Will keep doing the same shit tomorrow. Keep running against that concrete wall hoping that it will somehow crumble.

AI is making us write more code. That's the problem.

I analyzed research papers on AI-generated code quality. The findings:

→ 1.7x more issues than human-written code
→ 30-41% increase in technical debt
→ 39% increase in cognitive complexity
→ Initial speed gains disappear within a few months

We're building the wrong thing faster and calling it productivity.

@tante the boosters do not care. I had a coworker tell me to my face yesterday that we need to stop relying on "internal expertise" at our company, and instead hand that off to LLMs to write tests to validate everything. This was after I pointed out to him that the majority of tests the LLM wrote for him were fake, and tested nothing. You could write code that severely broke what the LLM has written for him and the tests would have continued to pass. How can we give up on the expertise we have, and give up on further building that expertise, if the tools aren't capable of doing the work? If you can't validate the output then you're guaranteed to create a catastrophic failure in the future.

Sometimes figuring out whats happening over time in the Mikrotik changelogs isn't as easy as it should be..... I made a tool to display changelog entries and data in different ways, as well as searching all changelogs for keywords. (MLAG for instance is a good search keyword).

This is still in really early public availability, but its been useful for 2 out of 2 people I shared it with and so I expect it will be useful for a wider audience.

@Bene @hetzner Those scammers and attackers are nasty. I wish #hetzner would offer real phishing resistant MFA. Like passkeys/webauthn. Further I would like to see an API endpoint where we can collect account events like logins etc so we can monitor those in our SIEM.

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States.

It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.
