Availability is one leg of the CIA triad. Security is the justification for having backups and a recovery strategy, not an excuse for ignoring it.

Why wouldn't you do that in the dev database, then push to test, then push to prod?

Strikes me as extremely reckless to edit a production database live with some tab completing editor. Is it really the norm to do that?

It's our fault for turning the web into the monstrosity it has become. Web browsers are for displaying hypertext documents. DOCUMENTS. Why on earth are we executing code at all?

Yes.

Why not just send a DMCA to their ISP and have them shut off for a few days?

Most computers have a fan that blows the discarded bits out of the CPU. Some of them are built fanless though so the bits just radiate away...

How does the fact that the preppers are rich argue against being wary of them?

Those billion outdated devices are the low hanging fruit screening me and my fully updated iOS device. I can be confident that casual attackers aren't coming after me, only the higher tier ripoff artists gunning for iOS users and the A

I would say the automatic transfer switch should be configured conservatively and go to backup power at the first hint of instability. If irregular power is the usual cause of downtime then I would expect the ATS to cope with those conditio

You might not realize how much fuel it takes just to maintain generators. They have to be exercised, load tested, overhauled, all on top of whatever time they spend providing backup power. Which is just as well, because an engine that sits

I would take Steve Gibson's security advice with a few grains of salt as well

The company that maintains my generators has a dummy load that is basically a large resistor bank and fan on a trailer. It seems like Amazon could just build something like that on a larger scale to load the generators - short term they cou

I can imagine why that would be useful, but that seems like a fundamentally misguided feature. The shell is a key partner in the Unix philosophy of small programs that do a particular thing. The maintainers of bash should have known better

It’s not likely that the NSA would do that to every laptop a vendor ships outside the US, because it would increase the risk of their tools being compromised for no benefit. Hardware intercept would only be used if someone they were already

That’s exactly the same as saying “I was just drunk. I didn’t mean to run over that lady.” When the driver deliberately impairs their ability to drive, they assume culpability for any accident that might occur.

We need to ban assault cars at once! No honest person needs a 300+ horsepower tank powered by a fuel that is literally explosive.

At the risk of getting into a completely different debate, the iPhone is not a computer. A computer allows the user to write and run any program of their choosing. An iPhone can only run programs approved by Apple, and the user cannot use t

Seems like a sure thing to short the piss out of an enterprise like this and wage a comprehensive campaign of activism and consumer education against it. With rationality on your side, how could you lose?

I think that detail about the billing USSR for the return shipping of the plane is propaganda meant to humanize the US/Japanese side and dehumanize the USSR side by showing that we have a sense of humor and they don't. USSR could
