In case you missed it - update VMware ESX
There's an in the wild exploit chain being used which does VM -> Hypervisor escape, across all versions of ESXi. Allows full cluster access (not just VMs on that host)
Impacts ESX 5.5 (no patch), 6.5, 6.7, 7, 8 - ie every version released over the past 15 years

Yesterday, VMware quietly released patches for three ESXi zero day vulnerabilities: CVE-2025–22224, CVE-2025–22225, CVE-2025–22226. Although the advisory doesn’t explicitly say it, this is a…Kevin Beaumont (DoublePulsar)

Me: 18-25 year olds head north to where there's shitty internet and no town and spend four months getting paid well and living in a camp. Of course it is.

The problem with parental controls, is that my kids are 3 and 5. I don't want them exposed to raw unfiltered internet. But I also know that they *will be*.
This means that parental controls are a war I'm trying to figure out how to let my kids win in the most gentle way possible. I want them to win without feeling smarter and better than me, and like they're invincible. I want them to become aware of the fact that the internet is a complicated place, I don't want them to fear, but I also want them to respect. I dunno - parenting is hard.

sooo been there myself! My kids are now 12/13. We started slow, with unconnected devices (old phones) and a few games, kinda like just a different toy. As they go through school we try to draw analogies with familiar things.. Internet is kinda like 'outdoors'. Some areas are safe for you, some are not. Running around when you should be in bed is also not good. Trying to present family controls as helping, not a war you will lose...
But. Yeah it's hard 🤪 good luck!

Another epic slam on libertarians:
"That's right: at the first hint of competition, the self-described libertarians who insisted that computers would make governments obsolete went running to the government, demanding a state-backed monopoly that would put their rivals in prison for daring to interfere with their business model."

My employer is continuing to pursue increased sales to the US government, so for ethical reasons I'm fully on the job market now.
I am an experienced #devOps engineer, having worked exclusively with #AWS. I have extensive experience in #terraform and #openTofu with significant #Ansible work as well. I've used the full alphabet soup of AWS services: VPC, EC2, S3, ACM, KMS, IAM, RDS, Route53, SNS, SES, SQS, WAF, and many more. I also am familiar with the various monitoring, alerting, and on-call platforms, most notably CloudWatch, DataDog, and Pager Duty. I also have management and project management experience, leading teams and projects at the application and architectural levels.
I do not, unfortunately, have experience with K8s or EKS, so any potential position would need to accept a ramp-up time if those are part of the infrastructure ecosystem. I am a fast learner, and I have a solid engineering expertise to build off of.
My primary need is a fully #remote position for family reasons. As my profile states, I am based in the Twin Cities area in US Central time. I am fully authorized to work in the US without employer support.
I'm happy to answer any other questions folks may have, and I can provide my resume upon request. Thanks in advance for boosts and such!

Ah, my domain registrar enrolled me in WHOISGUARD, gave whois a bogus domain. And then required me to get an email to change the email I use on my domain, or change the DNS. They didn't grab the email from my account for this. Oh no! They grabbed the whoisguard bogus email!
How wonderful! I guess server migration isn't happening today >.<
I have two main laptops I use right now. Both of them display a corporate logo for an OS (Microsoft and Apple) when they boot and then do not boot that OS.

I'm trying to make a small device autoplay the playlist on a CF card when the CF card is plugged in.
Linux is garbage now - is that the lesson I've learned?
@sungo Yeah - so I've tried a few different options
So I'm kinda stuck in Armbian land because I'm doing this on a raspi knockoff (after they hired a cop I swore them off).
So I started trying with just putting things on fstab, and found a tool for autoplaying CDs - but it didn't really work. So I moved to a udev rule which works on and off - but wont kick off sound because it's not able to subscribe the audio daemon. I've started looking at stripping out pulse and replacing it with alsa directly. But now I'm just trying to find a tool that will play an m3u without a session (cvlc seems gone from packages).
There's more - but I've spent a few hours on this and I'm mostly just frazzled.

I already boosted this, but I want to add more emphasis. I think every Canadian citizen of the Fediverse ought to sign this petition to get the Government of Canada off Xitter: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Pet…
Could anyone who has any Canadian followers please boost or just re-post it yourself? This matters.

Thinking about “We have South Africa at home”, how soon Starport County, Texas will name the county seat New Praetoria, if John Cusack will be alive to play the Vice President in the remake of War, Inc. named Boer, Inc

Why move, Musk is working to turn the US into Apartheid South Africa, including by importing lots more white South Africans.
I just replied to an email thread about a cooking group at church. Gmail rate limited for bulk sending.
This is anticompetitive bullshit and I'm so fucking livid.
I want to scream at Gmail users, but I acknowledge that it's not their fault.
