Gentoo is the best! Once you get the hang of creating a bootable system and feel comfortable painting outside the lines, it feels like Linux from Scratch just without needing to manually build everything. I automated building system images

Thanks for this perspective, I think I’ll reconsider this plan (to be clear, haven’t done it) and try to think up some alternative training strategy that doesn’t involve live issues.

Thanks for this explanation, I see the “graph” now!

Can you expand on that? Currently we do shadow shifts for a month or two first, but still eventually drop people into the deep end with whatever experience production gifts them in that time. That experience is almost certainly going to be

We burned thru pretty much all of our public /8, RFC1918, and have begun digging into RFC6589 (a /10 I didn’t even know existed prior to job). Still shocks me. Hardly an expert in the space, but I think the issue comes from subne

I’ve been toying around with the idea of using chaos engineering as a method of training new on-call folks. My first ever on-call shift was during a major product launch for a FAANG and I more or less just hoped that’d I’d be able to handle

I needed to read this perspective, thanks.

Rough shift, my worst was every other week and my boss prior to hiring me was 24/7 just like you. I just carry a backpack with a few batteries + my work laptop, fortunately only a few really bad stories but hooooo boy me and that backp

Haha I made the mistake of using the default iPhone ringtone, now when strangers get called in public my heart rate spikes. Too scared to change it.

Oh no, I just always hear it termed that way and it captures the “feeling” for me since it feels like a dedicated device. I just just carry a work phone w/ PagerDuty during my shift.

I feel such a sense of kinship for anyone who carries a pager, almost 7 years at my current role doing it. Super cool that dang is among our number :)

Your ability to recall and locate specific comments like that is impressive!

by malwrar 10mo ago
Interesting finds, did you pull those from memory or do you have a search method?

by malwrar 10mo ago
Makes sense! Thanks for turning me on to them, I hadn’t come across those yet in my journey.

I totally missed that part of your comment, my bad. Thanks for elaborating on those, I feel inspired to experiment! So far my kernel journey has been about making my hardware work + enabling features, and that’s mostly how I’ve been discove

We need to resist this stuff or else there will be Flock, stalker cars, and some other new nightmare they excuse by saying “well we’re already watching…”. Can’t let ourselves accept this is normal!

Why would you want different kernels for different device types? Genuine question! I maintain my own Linux distro (upstream Linux + portage) for all my devices and haven’t found much reason to go beyond kernel per arch. I’m curious if there

Let us assume, at some point in the near future, it is possible to build a humanoid robot that is able to operate human-run machines and mimic human labor: > Man made stuff does not self-repair and self-replicate. If robots can repair a

Is there any particular element of the supply chain that you feel make “robots” hand-wavy?

I think our full understanding of the spectrum of these threats will lead to the construction of robust safeguards against them. Reputational attacks at scale are a weakness of the current platforms within which we consume news, form commun

by malwrar 11mo ago
We should assume sophisticated attackers, AI-enabled or otherwise, as our time with computers goes on, and no longer give leeway to organizations who are unable to secure their systems properly or keep customers safe in the event that they

I wish journalists would explore why the technical methods & information sharing that enable this surveillance are allowed to exist. Highlighting instances of abuse and the quasi-legal nature of the industry doesn’t really get at the in

I’d suggest reading their (free, online) book if you haven’t already, that’s what motivated me to actually try using it. It sells its core features pretty well and eased me into it better than just trying to grok the syntax. What kept me us

The child in OP sounds to me like she thought she was making a bad-taste joke in a private forum, and was shocked when it promptly led to an entanglement with an unfeeling system who was looking over her shoulder. I’ve never threatened to k

This will condition children to think this sort of surveillance is normal, and when they’re adults the ones who think it kept them safe from mass shootings will try and advocate using our existing mass-surveillance powers to proactively mon

This one took me years to develop: build minimal demos with all new technologies you want to use in a new project, _then_ begin thinking about how you’re going to build your project. You need to understand how a tech works and _if it even w

Easier to deploy? No need for packaging everything or installing runtime stuff, just copy one file on your server and run it.

Were those children born to brave parents who made a choice to selflessly sacrifice to do their societal duty, or could it be that having sex is fun and only relatively recently have we managed to figure out how to do it without risking pre
