Linus from LTT asks Linus if he’d ever heard of software developers being terminated based on how many lines of code they’d written .

Linus Torvalds responds “Anyone who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company…”

It’s clear Torvalds doesn’t know who this is about when questioned.

Linus hints to him it’s about Musk.

“Apparently I was spot on [about Elon Musk being such and individual who is too stupid to work at a tech company].”

Glad to hear. Lesson learned: The panic you felt sucked. It was thankfully $7 to resolve. Next time it might not be.

Back up your stuff 3 times, in at least two places. 🙂

You got two options. Both suck.

1. Call support. Have fun. I’d rather rip out my eyeballs in this scenario because you’re not a paying customer. You will get the shit-tier service, will likely be hung up on, and reexplain the situation to 3+ individuals over the course of 4 hours and ultimately get nothing done.

2. Resubscribe. Finish the job. The odds of your accounts db being wiped are kinda slim. Sucks because you do what you explicitly sought to avoid: pay Microsoft.

I recently looked at my emails spam filters and my goodness. I’ve built a monstrosity over a few decades here.

Idk of any good series but techno Tim has a great video on using cloudflare and traefik to get wildcard letsencrypt ssls for your docker services.

I think the bulk of users are running discarded junk and raspberry pis.

That was me, I built a ~$5k rig and now some of what I’m doing is just nonsense of a typical self hoster, so the point is somewhat valid, but even those like me mostly started out with discarded junk and raspberry pis.

Docker used to scare me until I tackled a project that required me to use it. Then I realized I learned it without knowing I’d learned it.

Are the two servers on the same LAN? Did you update all configs for the new servers address?

Is the docker container spinning up and running, or failing and exiting?

Run docker ps, it’ll tell you how long your containers have been running or if they exited.

If everything is running then it’s most likely network, and I’d need to know how it is you used to access it on the old server (web address? Ip?)

If it’s not running then you get to dig through error logs to get to the next step 🤓

What do you mean “doesn’t have the same way”?

I mean just for the love of God don’t spin up something on your company’s infrastructure that accepts file uploads.

Just don’t.

If you’re reading this and going “well, it’s just internal,” or “well, it doesn’t do much it just accepts this exact file type.” My god. Ask your CISA. And if they’re okay with it, cool. That’s on them.

Unless your whole business is transferring files, don’t. And even then… Don’t.

And if you’re still confused, the answer is to use another company’s infrastructure for this. Use Azure. Use AWS. Use Google cloud or even g suites. Don’t accept that liability. Let the trillionaires do it.

Why give your students a way to get RCE on your institutions servers through anything less than perfect file upload implementation.

For a .tar? I wish you the best…

Instead of that, simplify.

Use unique salts for each assignment per student.

Align hashes with those salts to check the outcome for each students assignment.

Literally have them send you a CTF style sha256 string.

Do it step by step where each step doesn’t depend on the next, grade as a percentage of flags accurately procured.

If you don’t have a specific goal, here are some ideas.

Build a NAS.

Use a bunch of small PCs or pis, build a CA, a DNS server. Make an db server and an app server.

Get shit running on your network.

Suit them all up with ELK stack.

Misbehave on your own network. Go find evidence for your misbehaving.

DoS yourself.

Without goals it’s tough to give ideas beyond general like this.

Maybe instead of complaining, provide the summary yourself? Be the change you want to see in the world!

I am happy to watch the video and see no issues with people using Lemmy for its intended purposes.

It’s to curb gas theft. They’re making sure you can fill the RV before you fill the RV.

Honestly the HTTP 1.1 Must Die from black hat really makes me think that every govt has 0days on everything.

The desk setup is really nice (standing desk, hidden cabling for the screens), everything is clean

Yeah 10/10 good job on hiding those cables. The desk is pretty thin so hiding all the power supply and display port or HDMI cables, as well as keeping all the other cables (I mean, that mic surely has an XLR cable, where’s the audio interface?!) from peripherals well hidden. I mean, maintaining the level of cleanliness is difficult. Anywhere but an illustration.

I wouldn’t say setting up a reverse proxy (to your home LAN) is painful. Its just generally Ill advised. Its painful if compromised.

It does work for this use case.

You don’t need to, you can use wire guard.

Mullvad is the only VPN you can pay for with cash and actually remain untraced.

I didn’t say you need it. I strongly recommend the as a provider.

No I am talking about creating a secure tunnel.
