If you can get the govt to drop FIPS or wireguard to change to ...different crypto, wireguard would take off like hotcakes. I'd be flogging tailscale so hard! Stupid policies.

I was on the IPv6 transition task force for a large federal agency (well, one of the military services) from 2008-2010. They don't take it seriously, don't fund it, there's no internal mandate or accountability around it, an

There's a mandate that backbones be dual stack. Basically nobody pays attention to it. https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/omb/memoranda/fy...

Lol. https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/omb/memoranda/fy... Like, the US Govt has been 'going to move to ipv6' real soon now since I was a baby engineer.

That's not how they work. They exist, and work extremely well within their defined engineering / design goals. It's much more nuanced than 'everything works independently'.

Having spent uh, 11? years working with AWS for gov entities, I would actually be impressed if they had bothered to turn on support. I also assume, given the nature of the activity involved, that AWS had their solutions team there gratis

They're probably not pushing even hundreds of Mbps - it's a 2MB site in total, and almost all of it is static, and will be cached by various proxies/etc. They might PEAK at a Gbps for the first few hours, and then fall off to

That's not how the government engages with AWS and other vendors. Even though the rest of the world sees it as one big entity, they engage as if they're thousands of smaller entities. They generally get access to AWS through re

The US is still fielding new nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. So, they ARE building new power plants, just...not commercial ones.

They don't need to be air/water tight for long term, just tight enough with a known leakage factor.

They were either not plugged in, or definitely not on their own vlan in any of the datacenters (dozens of them) I worked in from 2000-2007. Many admins have no clue they exist or what they do.

AAD allows you to use FIDO2 for OIDC, with specific browsers being support cross-platform: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/auth... It's not 'u2f' exactly, but better (im

What do you mean hardware tokens outside of windows? For primary workstation authentication? Or AzureAD auth? By hardware tokens do you mean RSA or TOTP hardware fobs?

To be fair, it also used to take sometimes an hour+ to reinit a system. All those SCSI busses had to be enumerated, all the RAM checked for error, ah, the old days...

LOL. IPv6 usage has been mandated by legislation for years for the Federal Govt. in the US. And yet....mostly no adoption.

Ford is a manufacturing company, and its stock is valued as such. Telsa is valued as a 'tech company', and so has magic unlimited upside unicorns attached to its stock. Rivian too.

For every company that will buy from them, there's a company that won't buy from them for 'religious' reasons. Deals are complicated, it's not always an 'engineering' decision.

No, but I think that it's super common to discount to $0 all the work that using lambda saves you from maintenance and operations. And if you can do any of that at scale for $250/mo you're lightyears ahead of nearly everyon
