It was the answer to "how many people can I get in on this joke?" while playing around with litecoin.

The notion that SCADA systems are air gapped, closed ecosystems is 40 years out of date. I've had hundreds of plant engineers and SCADA operators tell me that their systems were "not connected to anything" and every single on

We work with Dragos fairly regularly, they're solid. The main problem is that people who even consider the security or integrity of these systems are brought in years after they were specced, built, and more or less abandoned as built.

Except everyone already does it and that toothpaste is never going back in the tube. We're fighting to keep these people from using unlicensed copies of TeamViewer for their primary access.

I even have a pixel3 and forgot Lens existed; the first time I was exposed to it by the phone it looked like yet another Google scans all your stuff and gives you questionable suggestions feature. It never occurred to me it would do somethi

It's easy to be nostalgic for the days of big iron servers or clusters that were around for years as a sort of network landmarks. We used to have dev and QA clusters named after movie monsters and you'd get some great hallway conv

Probably not, it felt a lot like an experiment that was picked to win and then still didn't. Almost like a reverse i960, which ended up being really good at a few niche applications that certain problem spaces kept it in at least some

Depending on where you are there are bespoke jewelers that can take industrially made "perfect" stones including diamonds and emeralds and make rings to spec for like 500 USD equivalent or less. In the US, the renaissance fair cro

Yes, although a significant issue with that is there is no spinning mass to "borrow" inertia from, so while modern inverters at solar sites are good at shaping output phases, they have very little capability to absorb significant

It remains something of a testament to human stupidity and avarice that chat to most of the world in most languages with pretty good security and even some video support was basically a solved problem in like 2008 and a complete clusterfuck

Almost every power plant is effectively internet connected even if it has old control equipment that predates IP as the vast majority of SCADA systems have IP connected HMIs or other core components. There may be steps involved in getting y

I've been running freebsd my primary home and work platforms for almost 20 years and the only time I've had crashes that would have dumped to swap were when I was doing some driver development for early flash storage cards and a f

In many ways this seems to have replaced diaries as a way of organizing your thoughts prior to screaming them into the void, with the bonus of spam and random racist diatribes. Perhaps bonus is the wrong word there.

All of your communications, sure probably not, but for all the ones that are already for government purposes, with government entities, and other basic purposes it's a good place to start. At least some uniquely identified email addres

For a decade or so it pretty much did just work. Alas, nothing gold (or metallic shades of white in this case) can stay.

Public transit in Austin is laughably bad unless you're on a small set of travel paths, mostly to the university and a narrow part of the city center. As an example it takes about 20 minutes to drive from my house to the airport, and 3

An insider got them access to a trusted signing certificate would be my first guess. PKI remains a pain in the ass and very few organizations do it well.

It's possible but you're limiting yourself to 2 or 4 UDB drive mirrors. If you just want a zfs storage pool and aren't too picky about anything else, it works, but if your list of expectations goes beyond a place to dump data

HGST remains my preference for "enterprise-y" stuff on home and small business setups. Slightly pricier but if you value your time it pays for itself easily.

Upping the block size to more than whatever SMR overlaps on the drives works for workflows that don't care about consistent random rewrite performance. Can get 120 MB/s sequential writes on the cheap seagate SMR drives in my big s

In these escalation scenarios either both sides commit to non-escalation or it doesn't matter. I don't know if current US policy had a nuclear retaliation for a strike against a carrier group, but it is such a high probability tha

Overloading, sure, destroying, no. I would bet millions of Euros there have been islanding plans in place for years in the event of wide scale disconnects or voltage/frequency collapse. The aftermath wouldn't be fun but most of we

I use MSI laptops almost exclusively although they're definitely wiped and reinstalled to win10 ltsc or freebsd. In as much as I love the Mac touchpad for kanji/hanzi input the 2015 pro will probably be my last.

I'm sure some clever executive figured out they'd increase revenue enough before they were hit by a regulator or lawsuit to more than cover the subsequent apologies and announcement of their new firmware that loves free markets an

Industrial automation that runs the world at large in thousands of ways isn't 100% safe under normal circumstances, much less "all" and yet we have almost entirely automated elevators, high voltage relays, medical equipment,

The generator wasn't sped up beyond tolerances, the safety system that kept it synchronized with the wider grid deliberately brought it in out sync, like ramming a car engine into a much lower gear at high speed. The force has to go so

Directly? Low. Indirectly through serial concentrators and RTUs and Scada access, almost 100%. The FERC / NERC security standards that fell out of this event are largely a bad joke, but had the benefit of at least requiring North Ameri

Data diodes exist and have been used in high security or other risky cases when one circuit or bus absolutely has to be isolated except for one way communication. In practice it's not typically necessary to go quite that far if a trust

To addresses? Mostly pointless. To a larger number space that had non-numeric representation, genius and probably inevitable. If we allow for the representation to be 0-9 and then another ten letters selected for uniqueness and clarity, ov
