Ik zie weer nieuwe gebruikers binnenkomen op mastodon.nl en daar wordt ik heel blij van.

We hebben naar de performance gekeken en de beschikbare resources en de inschatting is dat we makkelijk het dubbele aantal gebruikers kwijt kunnen zonder de resources te verhogen.

Dus kom maar door met die nieuwe leuke mensen. Nodig je buurvrouw en de kinderen van de overburen uit en maak het hier leuker!

I feel like just touch, just a dab of imposter syndrome is probably good for you, if you don't have it you're either hyper overqualified, bored out of your mind, or have an ego the size of a planet.

A bit of imposter syndrome helps to bring you back down to earth a little.

Vaak plaats je al je apparaten die je niet echt vertrouwt in een IoT-netwerk. Die mogen bijvoorbeeld wel updates ophalen, maar elkaar en andere apparaten op het netwerk niet zien. Vanuit je prive-netwerk (je vertrouwde apparaten) mag verkeer dan wel naar IoT (zodat je je wasmachine kan bedienen).

And from the WTAF dept, quite a bombshell from ProPublica today:

"Microsoft is using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems — with minimal supervision by U.S. personnel — leaving some of the nation’s most sensitive data vulnerable to hacking from its leading cyber adversary, a ProPublica investigation has found."

"The arrangement, which was critical to Microsoft winning the federal government’s cloud computing business a decade ago, relies on U.S. citizens with security clearances to oversee the work and serve as a barrier against espionage and sabotage."

"But these workers, known as “digital escorts,” often lack the technical expertise to police foreign engineers with far more advanced skills, ProPublica found. Some are former military personnel with little coding experience who are paid barely more than minimum wage for the work."

A Little-Known Microsoft Program Could Expose the Defense Department to Chinese Hackers

The Pentagon bans foreign citizens from accessing highly sensitive data, but Microsoft bypasses this by using engineers in China and elsewhere to remotely instruct American “escorts” who may lack expertise to identify malicious code.

@Morpurgo @mozilla @thunderbird volgens mij kun je dat per account instellen, ergens onder ‘serverinstellingen’ uit mijn hoofd.
@derek @nixCraft Na. "hybrid" == all weekdays in the office. Sat/Sun you can choose where to work from.
I hate when there’s a knock on your door and you open the door and it’s someone.
