Tonight's activities included,
Resolving an issue with corrupt keys files on #cachyos stopping updates.
Resolving an issue with #termix which was timing out on my #k8s and fixing ghis also fixed an issue with the Android app
I got #patchmon installed and rolled out security and other patches
Tomorrow I need to setup my old #imac (intel) as a #devops server (probably ubuntu 2404 desktop) and install #argocd and see if i can get that to work with my k8s setup..
Oh, and we walked the dog 6km in the morning...

Let's Encrypt just stopped the issuance of certificates after an "incident":
https://letsencrypt.status.io/pages/incident/55957a99e800baa4470002da/69fe2d6698ca07050eb4b1b3
If anyone encounters issues today with failed certificate renewals: It's probably not your setup.

How do you translate rigorous NIST 800-53 Risk Management Framework requirements into the automated world of containers? Achieving an ATO requires a technical blueprint.

Bash scripting remains the quiet workhorse of sysadmin automation, yet too many production scripts treat error handling and portability as afterthoughts. If your script can't survive a missing variable or a quirky filesystem, it's not automation - it's a time bomb. Do the work: set -euo pipefail and test on more than just your dev machine. #bash #sysadmin #devops

hey so. looking for a job (NZ or fully remote willing to hire a kiwi) in SRE, security, or linux/Unix system administration. 15 years experience administering Linux and Unix boxes, intermediate level of experience working with docker compose and containerisation and container security. No prior job experience unfortunately, all those 15 years were mostly personal projects and small-scale stuff for friends. I'm also 26, so I started when I was 11, explaining the no jobs so far. Currently running an entire multi-machine personal cloud infrastructure with a demonstration of all the services I have running at https://status.highenergymagic.net Three machines, 72 docker containers. One running most of them, one running Mastodon+glitchsocial, one running the uptime monitor. encrypted root on ZFS, alpine linux, gVisor on supported containers, plan to move to Kata. Entirely willing to accept entry-level job placements, no expectation of being paid a lot or anything, just want to be doing something and move the needle a little on my current "being broke" status. Currently using gVisor, docker compose, and kata containers in production, experience with Linux, docker, Net/Open/FreeBSD, Cisco IOS, Juniper Junos, Mikrotik and UniFi, configuring and administering Asterisk, plus extensive experience with IBM AIX and Sun Solaris. #fedihired #infosec #cybersecurity #linux #unix #docker #sre #DevOps #GetFediHired
Please boost for reach, any job offers please DM me.

"Shift left" becomes a theatre of speed if security is an afterthought bolted on at deploy time. True DevOps velocity demands security baked into every commit, not just a pre-prod gate. Stop treating compliance as a blocker and start embedding it as a feature of your pipeline. #devops #ShiftLeft #SecureByDesign

Fresh gist: mitigating CVE-2026-31431 ("Copy Fail") on RHEL 8/9/10 with a tiny Ansible playbook.
It blacklists algif_aead via a kernel boot arg (initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init), reboots only when needed, and asserts the mitigation actually stuck after reboot. Idempotent & safe to re-run.

In my country, it is utmost impossible to share our mental health issue with other people. Why, since mental health is still taboo. When people learn about our issue, they will avoid us like plague and the employment world will be closed forever. The only way to share my issues is through a semi anonymous Mastodon account. Note: since English is not my native language, I often edit my posts to make them easier to read or to fix grammar mistakes.

If you say 'directory' instead of 'segment', you don't play at my level.

CIO by day, cybersecurity professor & Forbes Contributor by night, and a firm believer that the best ideas start with good coffee. I’m passionate about using AI, cloud tech, and leveraging system dynamics to make work (and life) a little easier. Outside of work, I’m either reading/writing in some indie coffee house, hiking shady trails along the river, or adding to my ever-growing collection of houseplants. I’m always learning, always leading, and always up for a good book or a new coffee house to explore. #CyberSecurity #systemstheory #hiking #philosophy #actor #improviser #storyteller #coffee house addict 📍Chicago, IL 🦋🥾☕️🎭🤖🪴✍️

An ex-Azure engineer published six essays arguing Microsoft's cloud has been on life support since 2008, and the cause isn't bad code. It's bad people decisions. Rushed launch, post-launch talent exodus, no testing discipline, no architectural vision. Sound familiar to anyone who's worked in a place that ships first and staffs later?
Now layer 2026 on top. Microsoft cut roughly 15,000 jobs in mid-2025. Coding agents are pumping out 4x more commits in 90 days. GitHub's unofficial uptime has slipped under 90% and the proposed fix is, wait for it, moving more of GitHub onto Azure. The same Azure the engineer says is held together with rushed decisions and wishful thinking.
🧠 The phrase that stuck with me is "knowledge dilution from high attrition." When the senior people who knew why a system was built that way leave, no LLM in the world can recover that context
🤖 More AI-written code does not mean less work. It means more code to review, test, deploy, and run, which means more compute and more humans needed downstream
📉 OpenAI signing an $11.9B compute deal with CoreWeave in March 2025 was the loudest "we don't trust your capacity" signal Microsoft has ever received from its closest partner
🪑 The bet that AI lets you cut headcount keeps colliding with the reality that AI generates work for humans faster than it removes it
Every CIO I talk to is being pitched the same dream: fewer engineers, more agents, lower run rate. The Azure story is what happens when that math doesn't pencil out and the bill comes due in incidents instead of dollars.

I recently discovered ntfy.sh and it is brilliant in its simplicity. I am currently rewriting my bash scripts to drop AWS SNS in favor of it.
Getting a direct push notification to my phone (and not only this) via a simple curl command is so much cleaner than setting up IAM roles and SNS topics.
I still absolutely love email as a primary protocol, but my inbox really does not need to know every single time a cron job finishes successfully 😅
