    Installing #openbsd is easy, but what does it take to keep your system in trim?Here is a piece I wrote, "You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks." https://nxdomain.no/~peter/openbsd_installed_now_for_the_daily_tasks.html to provide some pointers (also at https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2024/09/you-have-installed-openbsd-now-for.html if tracking is not a thing you worry about) #maintenance #sysadmin #dailytasks #dailydriver

    @stefano The people who demand moar powerrrr really need to drop their current workstation for a 266MHz Pentium 2 with 32MB RAM and a 5400 RPM hard drive.That will force them to design better code. Or pick a different career field altogether. 🤣

    No matter how you slice it, as I see it, it boils down to: Microsoft's software did insufficient input validation on untrusted data (specifically in this case configuration changes for one customer, it seems), and this led to widespread outages affecting many, many, *many* customers in many different ways.Security done properly should not rely on "blocking erroneous" stuff, but should verify that everything is good and only *if* that succeeds allow any of it through.@spytfyre @rysiek

    The internet was initially designed to be fault tolerant and resilient. Even if one route was down, a package should be able to find another way to it's destination, that's what it was designed for. And it worked, because the internet is decentral.With the advent of the cloud, everything should have become even more reliable. No more outages, because it's in the the cloud and cloud is always better than on prem.Well, this morning I figured out that some of our communication platforms were not working as expected. Also some other SAAS solutions we are using had issues. And now it turns out that there is a global outage of AWS.Can it really be a good option, when everything in the world relies on a handful of central cloud service providers? I doubt it...But this gives us a first taste of what happens, when we only rely on a few central providers or providers all based in one country.https://www.heise.de/en/news/Amazon-Web-Services-Global-Outage-10779040.html#cloud #aws #outage
