There must be some scientific explanation for why the time it takes a dog to find their spot to do their business is directly proportional to how hard it is raining.

October marks one year since the mass exodus from Twitter made my life exciting. For those that joined and stayed, I’m glad you’re here :blobheartcat:​

Hey @jerry, infosec.pub is stable all the time. Who would have guessed? Plus, infosec.pub makes me hopeful for humanity and the breeding of future generations with insights like this 🙂

Props to @jerry and team for all the upgrades lately. No glitches at all and NOW WE HAVE FULL TEXT SEARCH. Every time I upgrade something in my home lab, something catches on fire.

Well, I was just contemplating downsizing a bit on infosec.exchange when I saw this scroll by: https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/elon-musk-charge-all-x-twitter-users-fee-1235726693/

Maybe I'll wait a while...

I saw someone digging on people who post cat pics today. So I am doing my part to make this a bad place

Well, not sure what is happening, but welcome to all our new Infosec.exchange members!

I'm sure all these public cloud customers were smart enough to be taking regular off-site backups.

fedia.io: I found and fixed a number of additional broken database linkages - I am not seeing any additional error 500s at the moment 🎉​

Now that Hetzner has 64core/128 thread sapphire rapids servers available AND they are not stupid expensive, I think I am going to start planning a migration to those running on 10gbps networks.

The number of active accounts is on a decline though, so a bit hesitant to pull the trigger.

I found and fixed an issue that was intentionally blocking tor from accessing the main infosec.exchange site, so it should work now for casual tor users. We also have a few alternate access paths into infosec.exchange:
First, is the tor hidden service address: http://7jaxqg6lfcdtosooxhv5drpettiwnt6ytdywfgefppk2ol4dzlddblyd.onion/
Second, is https://crank.infosec.exchange - which is a radically simplified endpoint without all the scaling stuff that can cause issues. Using crank is the same as the regular site - same login, same timelines, same account, just running on a different set of servers.

I have a 102F fever which reminds me of something funny that happened years ago. I had a 105F fever from pneumonia (my 15 year battle with pneumonia is a story by itself) and was conscious but not all there. Or, less all there than usual. I didn’t know who I was or what I did for a living. My lovely wife convinced me that I was a car mechanic. And that’s why we’ve been together for 30 years.
