Hello all, Erik here. Currently doing a lot of #AWS, #InfoSec, and other cloudy tech things. My spouse and I are parents of two teenage boys and a ~5 year old boxer mix (rescue). My primary motivator each day is to cultivate hope, both in myself as well as those I come into contact with.
I’ve been living in the Twin Cities for ~25 years, and prior to that lived in west-central MN.
Current rabbit-hole I'm falling down: which of the MDM policies that I've implemented is preventing macOS/iPadOS Universal Control from working properly???
I fear this is going to be one of those instances where proper OS MDM bindings for this won't be available until the next OSes are released...in three months' time or more.
Yet another unexpected side effect of leaving corporate social media: good lord there’s so much whining in the tech industry. So damn much! These people come off as entitled and insufferable.
I think I’d become habituated to this type of discourse, and now that I’ve “detoxed” a bit, I can now see it for what it is.
Do you think that exposing directly to internet many #selfhosted services used for storing personal data like files, notes, etc.. might be dangerous? Or rather what is the level of risk, because there always is. I do all the typical stuff to protect it, like having updated version, using 2FA, proper https, passwords....
As a fun fact for those who have no experience with that I can tell that for example a SSH server on default port with public IP is tried by bots average 1 time every minute.
Well, witnessing a pro-union protest ✊ outside my building was not on my Wednesday bingo card. :D They were protesting a property management company that occupies the first floor of our building.
I just live-streamed building some infra in AWS as a teaching/demonstration tool to a couple of co-workers. That was fun! I set up some scenes in OBS and used the "OBS Blade" mobile app to switch between scenes (browser/terminal/editor/etc.)
