That’s what alarming is for.

Well, that certainly would confuse users, yes.

🤮

I suppose, it just seemed like putting the blame on the consumers rather than greedy, short-sighted executives.

Confuses them?

I had a leg break which required hardware to be installed. I told the doctors that I smoked weed and they still gave me the “good stuff”. This was even at a Catholic hospital (gross), but I’m in the PNW so maybe that’s why.

Mayo tastes better too, in my opinion. It’s not healthy, but God damn, it’s fucking delicious.

To address your first edit, yes, it’s a script, and yes, it did delete the site and the backups, as confirmed by the site creator. You can browse the data extracted on https://okstupid.lol/

This wasn’t “just a fun script”. The site, backups, and infrastructure were actually deleted.

Did you read the article, like at all? It would have told you the same thing:

As of this writing, WhiteDate, which Hoffmann described as a “Tinder for Nazis”; WhiteChild, a site that claimed to match white supremacists’ sperm and egg donors; and WhiteDeal, a sort-of Taskrabbit-esque labor marketplace for racists, are all offline.

The administrator of the three websites confirmed the hack on their social media accounts.

“They publicly delete all my websites while the audience rejoices. This is cyberterrorism,” the administrator wrote on X on Sunday, vowing repercussions.

The administrator also claimed that Root deleted their X account before it was restored.

I say this lie every day these days.

1.7/10, nice

Like dgdft said, if you’re using certbot, it should typically be running on the machine that your endpoints are hosted on. Enterprise solutions don’t require this, but they have other means of deploying certificates automatically and alarming if they are unable to, before they expire. My organization has dashboards showing which certs expire and when, and it triggers alarms at least a month before anything goes wrong.

High stakes automation should always have alarms on error, and since certs have set expiration dates baked into them, you can alarm far before anything goes wrong. Apparently, Riot didn’t have that.

Also, more frequent renewals make it so that people are less likely to forget it exists. Because of that, along with the possible security ramifications, 2 to 10 year certs should never be used, in my opinion. A 10 year cert will always get kicked on to the next team and it’s very possible for things to fall through the cracks.

What makes you think I don’t do this on embedded devices? I’m not about to dox my self with specifics, but I do this exclusively for embedded hardware as my job. We even do it for devices not directly attached to our network. It’s really not difficult so long as you have control of your enterprise hardware (which, you should, unless your management is terrible at their jobs). Hell, even the routers we use have this functionality built in, failure alarms and all.

If this is a problem for you, it’s probably at an organizational level, and not a technical issue.

You do know that it can be automated though, right? If you have full control of someone’s infrastructure, the quickest way to delete all of it is through a script.

I work in DevOps, this is one of the easier things to automate. It’s common for certs to be issued on a 90 day basis these days, no way that would be maintainable without automating.

Yeah, I can see it happening there, especially for graphic artists (however actual graphic design is much better than anything a model can currently spit out). Translation is surprising to me, because in my experience, LLMs are actually kind of bad at actual translation especially when sounding natural according to local dialect. So I might consider that one to be a case of dumb bosses that don’t know any better.

I’m a DevOps engineer and dumb bosses are absolutely firing in my industry. However, our products have suffered the consequences and they continue to get worse and less maintainable.

Sweet, thank you!

Maybe, which jobs though?

Any plans for an HA integration, maybe even as the source of the location data? I’ve been using HA for that and would prefer to not drain my phone battery further with two location services.

I wonder if OwnTracks can do it…

I don’t think AI is taking jobs, I think dumbass execs use it as an excuse to fire people though.

I use Frigate and Reolink cameras. I have a Home Assistant install to access the cameras remotely through reverse proxy.
