What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

Hey friends, did you know you could hire me to consult on AT Protocol projects? Whether that's advising on OAuth, or doing complete implementations, I can probably help you project. I primarily work in JavaScript/TypeScript. You can contact me via support.thisismissem.social

A few days ago, a client’s data center "vanished" overnight. My monitoring showed that all devices were unreachable. Not even the ISP routers responded, so I assumed a sudden connectivity drop. The strange part? Not even via 4G. I then suspected a power failure, but the UPS should have sent an alert. The office was closed for the holidays, but I contacted the IT manager anyway. He was home sick with a serious family issue, but he got moving. To make a long story short: the company deals in gold and precious metals. They have an underground bunker with two-meter thick walls. They were targeted by a professional gang. They used a tactic seen in similar hits: they identify the main power line, tamper with it at night, and send a massive voltage spike through it. The goal is to fry all alarm and surveillance systems. Even if battery-backed, they rarely survive a surge like that. Thieves count on the fact that during holidays, owners are away and fried systems can't send alerts. Monitoring companies often have reduced staff and might not notice the "silence" immediately. That is exactly what happened here. But there is a "but": they didn't account for my Uptime Kuma instance monitoring their MikroTik router, installed just weeks ago. Since it is an external check, it flagged the lack of response from all IPs without needing an internal alert to be triggered from the inside. The team rushed to the site and found the mess. Luckily, they found an emergency electrical crew to bypass the damage and restore the cameras and alarms. They swapped the fried server UPS with a spare and everything came back up. The police warned that the chances of the crew returning the next night to "finish" the job were high, though seeing the systems back online would likely make them move on. They also warned that thieves sometimes break in just to destroy servers to wipe any video evidence. Nothing happened in the end. But in the meantime, I had to sync all their data off-site (thankfully they have dual 1Gbps FTTH), set up an emergency cluster, and ensure everything was redundant. Never rely only on internal monitoring. Never. #IT #SysAdmin #HorrorStories #ITHorrorStories #Monitoring

RE: famichiki.jp/@takosix/11585871

How did I see this? Open a gmail account to which an outlook account has been connected. Click the gear. Click "See all settings." Click "Accounts and Import." At the "Check mail from other accounts" item, click "edit info" for the outlook.com account. Then it popped open a new window with this on a page and had me complete a Microsoft Authenticator challenge.

All I wanted to know is if the outlook account was using pop or imap and the info didn't tell me anything.

If anyone is using the latest versions of mattn/go-sqlite3 module you might have an unpleasant surprise if your tables contain JSON data in BLOB columns and the table is also using STRICT.

Since sqlite 3.45.1 it's encouraged to move those columns to TEXT.

sqlite.org/json1.html#the_json

I spent two days trying to find why the sqlite storage
has started to fail out of the blue (well, not really "out of the blue", rather an unfortunate congruence of dependency updates and adding extra stress to the json payloads saving/updates).

러시아 문학을 "죽겠다" 로 요약한 밈 있는데 정작 한국 근대 문학도 체념형 싸패같은 성질이 있어서 "친척이 죽었어... 그리고 어쩌다 부모님도 죽였는데..." 식으로 이야기가 흘러가서 근대작가들 다 고담시 두왕구 베이커로에 살았나 생각하게 만듬

연탐에 질문
그래픽카드가 죽었거든요
그래서 새로 사야 하는데
새로 사는 김에 5060으로 사려고 하는데 파워서플라이가 최소 450W 이상이 필요하다고 하더라구요
그런데 지금 사용하는 파워서플라이가 500이라
이거 그대로 써도 되는지 아니면 파워서플라이를 같이 사거나 낮은 사양의 브가를 쓰는 편이 나은지 질문드립니다...
