    Hailey “Hawk Tuah” Welch is an influencer that gained a lot of popularity from her nickname (the sound of spitting, with HEAVY implications of performing fellacio). She used her platform to voice a very reasonable and intelligent opinion, which surprised a lot of people because her nickname is essentially blowjob queen.

    One of her opinions is that it’s important to spread cyber security and used her fame to try to educate the public (potentially a fake story from the image? Idk this drama). And some xit-head claiming to be a cyber security expert ate the onion and offered some shitty advice. Proton fact checked them, because there are a ton of fake news stories about her right now.


  • Preach! I got onboarded to a team with 31 other SRES and 2 weeks in I realized that I was doing all their jobs in Linux solo. The things got helped my team before I got there: octopus deploy’s “run script on host” it’s not too different from invoke command -computername “”, but Active directory :vomit: and security locked down most of the useful tools, so they used octo runbooks instead (also vomit but you do get tools back in the remote UI) but it’s setup with tentacles w/ identifiable ssh keys so it skips ad. It also lets you set env variable libraries.

    Move configs to dev repos and make them set/read their own yaml/json, for some reason windows shops didn’t get that memo. Royal TSX is a decent rdp client that you can script host lists and store prod/dev credentials, ours is basically just knife node list | sort windirstat is a GUI replacement for du - *. The light at the end of the tunnel is when you drop the codebase in a windows container and just remove all of the iis mess/instability for container management.

    Right now we are trying to figure out bootstrapping. In order to provision a new host we need to reboot the box 2x for ad and one for the app stack. We think we can remove the hostname assignment, but AD shakes fist… it’s kinda pointless targeting an automated step, when it needs manual intervention later anyways.








  • You can prevent downtime by mirroring your container repository and keeping a cold stack in a different cloud service. We wrote an loe, decided the extra maintenance wasn’t worth the effort to plan for provider failures. But then providers only sign contracts if you are in their cloud and you end up doing it anyways.

    Unfortunately most victims aren’t using best practices let alone industry standards. The author definitely learned the wrong lesson though.






  • Fellow 90s kid, my parents were exactly the same. Religious background, fox news constantly, I once didn’t text back within 2 hours and had a neighbor contacted via Facebook knocking on my door in my 30s (to be fair I work on call so it’s atypical). I got lectured at 18 for buying an m rated game in front of them… Police report was a bit much; but I you aren’t alone.

    Side note I would recommend this nostalgic song: high fives - 90s kid anthem by Dr awkward


  • First off, it’s important to understand Responsive Design responsive design and why you shouldn’t be writing your own css these days as a newbie. Bootstrap is a public css doc with a lot of those problems pre-solved, so you might want to look up some of their tooling.

    As far as a website: you’ll need a domain name, you can get some for free, but they usually have short renewals otherwise this is unavoidable.

    You can pay for “shared hosting” at any of the major vendors like blue host or GoDaddy and get apache or aspx file hosting for like you said $X0/year.

    You can use an s3 static website for ~free. Creating a DNS hosted zone is $.50. but you can create an s3 bucket (think flash drive in the cloud) store a threshold of free documents, and publish them as a website all within the free tier of AWS. This has some technical background and AWS can get expensive of you make mistakes (although this shouldn’t scale much unless you upload a thousands ton of files repeatedly)

    Alternatively you can use GitHub pages . Git is a tool used by developers to share and edit code, they let you publish free HTML as well, but requires learning git or figuring out a tool with a UI like source tree. I don’t think you can use custom domains with this though.

    Although if you have any interest in tech, you can also create a free nginx docker container through a lot of services like ecs, but you can also self host in a “sandbox”. Docker creates a mini virtual machine with all of the code required to run self contained. Nginx let’s you create HTML docker containers by mounting a directory. ~ docker start nginx /website/directory And it just runs self contained.





  • 4 bay nas 22tb drives = 88tb as a single volume. Backed up to offline single storage drives that are timestamped. Anything newer than that timestamp gets rsynced/robocopied to a new drive until it’s full., update timestamp, swap drive and rinse repeat. If a drive fails, just replace it and copy the contents of the backup drives to master and restored. Alternatively you can set a single disk tolerance raid.
