I'm going to give a free online talk for the DevOps Columbia virtual meetup, January 19th. It's called DevSecOps: More Than Just Pipelines. Anyone with Internet can go!

The irony of having to click "I'm not a robot" when signing up for ChatGPT.

Fact of the day: You don't need to be a full-time programmer, to contribute to #LibreOffice! 锁琨珑 (Kevin Suo) is an accountant, and helps to fix bugs in his spare time: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2022/12/12/community-member-monday-%e9%94%81%e7%90%a8%e7%8f%91-kevin-suo/

What happens to your smartphone when it gets stolen?

I recently had my iPhone stolen while on a business trip in London and, through the wonders of Find My, have been able to track its journey in the past few weeks. I found it to be a fascinating insight to what appears to be a rather sophisticated phone theft operation and thought I'd share!

Even if he hadn’t written three of the most-loved #DoctorWho stories, Chris Boucher would be a legend for just this line:

"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

RIP Chris 💙💙

"Google is a company that’s only made one-and-a-half successful products in its entire history. It made a search engine and a Hotmail clone, and everything else that it’s done that’s successful it bought from someone else. The only way it was able to build a good video service was by buying YouTube. This is why merger scrutiny is such a big deal."

Cisco discloses high-severity IP phone zero-day with exploit code https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cisco-discloses-high-severity-ip-phone-zero-day-with-exploit-code/

Yesterday, not only did I learn that a family member has a freaking VOIP phone... in a fairly remote area... you know... where power outages are not exactly rare but...

Ok, so apparently they've had an internet outage for 10 days and all they get is the runaround from the provider.

10 DAYS!!! 😱

So I decide to use my google foo™ and see what I can find. I start with the provider's "Check for Outages" page.

I enter their address...

It’s still remarkable to me that we let ourselves be conned into buying that THIS is what “freedom” looks like.
