Zscaler has a hard dependency on systemd on linux
This causes so many issues, any minor change in modules and defaults causes my user's computers to lock up and completely lose internet. A basic local vpn (which is all zscaler is) is trivial to implement without systemd.
By depending on systemd, they are making my life worse as an admin, for no gain.
I don't get the systemd cult.

it's running as a service or daemon right? So you need a system that controls your daemons....
Like a firewall, or any other service.

I mentioned months ago that a large West Coast muni whose name rhymes with "Fee Battle" would be hiring a Cybersecurity Specialist.
That job posted 2 wks ago! I learned about today! Closing is 4 PM 8 Oct.
This is a union-represented position and will earn .. more than me. And I'm no pushover.
It will have a substantial OT role.

If pentesters were to write „Outdated protocols (IPv4) enabled, increased attack surface“ into their reports, could they coerce companies through compliance into supporting IPv6? 😆
Unfortunately I hear „disable IPv6 to mitigate this and that“ all too often, which is equally stupid as my not-so-serious suggestion.

@jima @f2k1de yeah, I count 739,594,983,636,992 x /64 nets. That 172,200 times more than 2³².
The largest IPv6 network that I can see is from Deutsche Telekom: 2003::/19.
Even if we leave out everything bigger than (but including) /29, it's still 324,534,932,078,592 x /64 nets.
Damn, there must be many small nets. I had expected some extremely large ones that when left out, make scanning ::1 feasible …
@jima @f2k1de 16 bytes for the address + 2 bytes for the TCP port per result, potentially less when compacted or stored in a tree.
Collecting the data and making use of it appear to me as the harder challenges.
Some leakix.net, search.censys.io or shodan replica, but community hosted. How expensive and challenging would hosting a large Elasticsearch index be?
@f2k1de Disagree with two assertions here:
1. Why store 16 bytes of address when the last eight are :0000:0000:0000:0001?
2. Why hit a TCP port, when in all likelihood it'll be blocked? Better to use ICMP echo. (It may still be blocked, but it's still LESS LIKELY than a TCP port.)
3. (bonus) Are you storing negative results? If so: why? Log the BGP-announced prefix as done when done (with a timestamp, so you know when a rescan might be useful).
@f2k1de Err, after 24 years of doing business IT, I'm not sure how much proselytizing I need, but...
I get the trope of "dumb orgs block ICMP," but exactly what TCP port do you think is a) going to be commonly listening on most hosts bearing x::1 IPs, and b) going to not be subjected to firewalling from the WAN, that c) is going to be more prevalent than getting a response to an ICMP echo request? 🤨

Ran into family friends from childhood while out last night, and all they could talk about is that my dad had a heart attack a few months ago.
My family is downplaying it so much, and it was the first time I got to talk to someone who took it seriously (except my wife), and it was nice.

I wonder what the 4th big grift that involves a huge amount of GPUs is going to be, after cryptocurrencies, metaverse and generative AI models. Because there will be a large amount of unusued GPUs left with Big Tech after the current bubble bursts.
I don't think cloud gaming would be able to use up that much capacity. There are data centers being built now which won't be completed before the bubble bursts.

if you can host a file on a site where you can look at the access logs and then post a link to that file, you might be able to bait them into downloading the file which could give you their IP address in the access logs. A whois search for the IP address.could get you their ISP and geolocation information on the IP could get you the general area.
That's a lot of "ifs" and "coulds", though.

from there, if the police still won't do something, it turns to filing court orders to get information from the IP holders about who had the IP at the time of access and harassment.
Good luck.

Programming language power efficiency always feels like the tech industry green washing if I'm being honest. It always comes and goes on a pretty predictable year or two cycle.
A data center switching everything to Rust won't use less power than running Java, as the companies running these resources hogging computing warehouses will just use the reduced overhead to further expand their through-put.
Training AI crap will always use astronomical compute resources because they'll use everything they can usurp regardless of language.

This article happened to cross my path. It's largely just reporting over the articles findings, but the opening paragraph irked me:
One metric that has become more important over the years is that of energy efficiency, as datacenters keep growing along with their power demand. If picking one programming language over another saves even 1% of a datacenter’s electricity consumption, this could prove to be highly beneficial, assuming it weighs up against all other factors one would consider.
hackaday.com/2024/09/10/assess…
The problem in this case isn't the choice of programming languages, but the unrestricted growth of data centers. With the introduction of LLMs, the training of them has seen titanic jumps in power usage. Additionally, data centers have a much, much more destructive cost to them: water usage. We don't even know how much water some companies use because they have managed to label that a trade secret...
If you are researching low power computing, keep pushing that field forward. We will need low-energy tools. I want to see extreme efficiency in computing. But, there is no future where a privatized centralized data center, trying to extract patterns and monetary value from god-knows-how-much-data, is not a resource hog.

Hi Fedi, I'm now looking for new work. I have ~10 years of professional experience as a software developer, with 4 more in IT Systems Administration.
For the past 7 years, I've helped several startups and scale-up businesses successfully build and launch their products through the roles of Software Developer, DevOps, Tech/Team lead and Architect.
My primary competencies lie within systems designs, as I'm responsible for architecting, building and administering the backend software and systems for these companies. While I'm a 'polyglot' in terms of programming languages, the vast majority of my work has been BigData/ML/AI driven and written in Python and JavaScript/Node.js
I describe myself as a Software Architect, Python Developer & OpsGal.
I am open for hybrid office within the Randstad or remote. Full CV & Contact details available upon request.

... but the consequence of how it is forced into the light is that it constrains how it may be legally used. And even those constraints hold almost nothing back, practically, from basement tinkering; they do, however, constrain building a living on that idea alone.

in reply to mcc • • •My understanding (but I haven't studied this directly; all secondary and tertiary sources) is that lack of light was a significant problem. The alternative to IP protections wasn't ideas in the daylight; it was guilds and trade secrets kept with death-pacts.
But it's probably fair to ask if the Information Age has changed the balance in such a way that society doesn't benefit from the incentives to publicize work in the way that it did when the Constitution was drafted.

Unknown parent • • •@GyrosGeier @Bigshellevent I agree, however, the Creative Commons people do *not* specifically agree Creative Commons protects you from AI-based infringement.
I think that "you can remove copyright through use of an LLM" would be the worst of all possible worlds, on copyright. LLMs inherently favor the large, powerful, rich. If LLMs are a copyright exception it is saying there is a class of people copyright binds but does not protect and a class of people it protects but does not bind.
Simon Richter
Unknown parent • • •@Bigshellevent the entire idea of copyleft is to be the Satanic Temple of rights on immaterial things, claiming any protection afforded to commercial enterprises also for themselves.
Without that context, we risk becoming the Church of Satan.
If art can be fed into a neural net for training despite the authors' wishes then so can everything else. Reverse engineering with an LLM that ingests the input and answers questions just became legal.
