    If you use jq a lot (or otherwise work with JSON and YAML), then jless is almost certainly a tool you&amp;#39;re interested in https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless/ #sysadmin #SRE #DevOps #DevSecOps #TooManyNamesForSysadmin

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@andrewnez/116453635465963753 If you&amp;#39;re contemplating OpenClaw, please be very careful about what you give it access to. 2.1 CVEs/day on average is no joke. If you really need/want to run it, best to sandbox it on separate hardware and a separate network.

    No matter how low your expectations of how bad things are in Azure, prepare to have them reset quite a bit lower: https://isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsoft-vaporized-a-trillion This isn&amp;#39;t just neglect, it&amp;#39;s willful abandonment of basic security and stability standards my senior and middle management. Given the number of major breakins they&amp;#39;ve had in the last few years, there&amp;#39;s little wonder as to what&amp;#39;s behind that. #Microsoft #Azure

    @argv_minus_one @b0rk_reruns As Julia pointed out in her comic, some people don&#39;t understand that DNS may switch to TCP mode if the packet gets too big (or if the client simply chooses it). Even big networking professionals used to get this wrong. Both Cisco PIX and Firewall 1 permitted only UDP 53 at 512 bytes or smaller for a very long time. They eventually added flags, which defaulted to off, then they eventually fixed it. Took ages though.

    Cervical cancer is on track to be eliminated in Australia by 2035. In 2021, there were no cases of cervical cancer in women under 25, an outstanding achievement, and cancer rates continue to be extremely low Australia wide. Unfortunately, the anti-vaccination trend kicked off by the Trump regime has had an impact in Australia too, with lowered vaccination rates in the last few years. We are so close to eliminating cervical cancer. Get vaccinated! https://report.cervicalcancercontrol.org.au/
