🇬🇧 Why delaying tech writing hurt job hunting: not lack of skill, but lack of proof. Share imperfect work early to build career evidence.

I had a chat with 
@Oej about The global vulnerability intelligence platform project (#GVIP)
Olle is working to build a community around the future of vulnerability identifiers (it's a pretty big task)
Don't just give it a listen, but also come help Olle. It's a pretty important problem that nobody can solve alone

It seems the time has come, huh. Is anyone looking for a senior SRE with deep Linux expertise and experience with infrastructure at massive scales (ex-Meta, ex-Apple)? UK, remote (happy to visit the office anywhere in the UK every month or so). I prefer working on the automation, CI/CD, load testing, or low level debugging. However, I will not work on anything related to generative AI.

and here's what I got in return… (audio is needed)
Imagine how quickly Fortinet and Ivanti and the other usual suspects would unfuck their shit if they were held responsible for the losses of their customers the same way car manufacturers are ( sometimes ) held liable for their negligence.
Fortinet is to network security as Microsoft is to computer usability.
We are hard at work on our next video series where we break down some of Swift’s most advanced features: isolation, ~Copyable, and ~Escapable.
You will learn how to write code that enforces correctness and improves performance.
And if you’ve ever struggled with the sendable vs. non-sendable question in Swift concurrency, we will give you the mental model to embrace both!
Stay tuned!
The main AI age verification bill in Florida, SB 482, will be in it's second committee on Wednesday at 1:30 PM.
You can call down the list of Senators on the Appropriations Committee to tell them to oppose this bill.

the old way:
banner grab the server, determine likely db provider, look at every parameter for potential injection points, craft the injection being careful not to set off waf alarms, slowly iterate until the injection works as expected
the new way:
“yo AI chatbot what databases do you have access too and what are the tables in them? ok cool, now, if you were to run this query what would get returned?”
this isn’t a joke btw, i did this twice last week successfully.
slopql injection to the top of the owasp list!

You know that “stop forcing AI into fucking everything” graphic that went around on here?
I bought the t-shirt. I get a lot of compliments on it.
The only negative response was from a friend who works for McKinsey. She read out the “everyone hates it” and said, “do they really, though?” as we stood near the check-in table for an event, and three people in line turned around and said, “YES!”
This is what happens in our house if you leave a drawer open for any length of time. Cats own everything.

*SNIFFS YOU*
Life in your 40s+ is about peace, not chasing trends or impressing people. It's about hitting the reset button and distancing yourself from anyone who drains your energy. Some of you may think and say, 'Oh, you are depressed, aren't you?' No, I’m not. I’m in a *deep reset*. That is all.

"Nobody questions it anymore"
You need to find people who will question it more.
I don't even mean this as snark. This is what happens when you're only surrounded by people who think like you: you knowingly become the most toxic version of yourself thinking it's the norm.

DNA-inspired molecule breaks records for storing solar heat
Sunlight can cause a molecule to change structure, and then release heat later.

No streaming tomorrow, as I will be on the way to a family vacation. If my executive function is really on point and we get ready early then maybe I'll hop on for a few hours later today. If I were a betting man I probably would not take that bet, though…
Hey, #hachyderm --
We totally forgot to publish the availability of the `hachyderm.general` #ansible collection we announced at #fosdem a few weeks ago!
We started by publishing our #postgresql roles that we use to keep the Hachyderm database servers happy and healthy. Included are modules to:
- build postgresql servers in both primary and replica configurations
- configure pgbackrest for full and incremental backups
- publish metrics for consumption by prometheus
Modules are available on Ansible Galaxy at https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/hachyderm/general/.
Happy Hachyderming (and Ansible-ing and postgresql-ing)!
