Mentorship Monday - Discussions for career and learning! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks. I am interested in hearing from the practitioners what they would like their CISO to know/be/do to be a better CISO

I’m thinking about getting back in the game. What does everyone thing a CISO should know? What makes a good CISO?

Hi all. It’s Jerry from the interview talking about infosec.exchange. I think it’s important to understand some apparently missing context in the discussions below. I was talking about a hypothetical future where we saw tens/hundreds of millions of active accounts on the fediverse. I don’t believe the current funding model can support that, and I also don’t think the “spin up your own host” model will work for the masses, either.

I host close to two dozen different fediverse services, from lemmy to mastodon to mbin to peertube and lots more, and all that takes some significant hardware to run at larger scales. My objective has been to provide a fast and reliable fediverse experience, and so I’ve focused more on that than on making my servers scream, and so I’ve landed on hosting the fleet on a series of Hetzner Dell servers with 10GB interfaces, and that is not cheap.

I am not sure if the “he” reference is me, but I did ask and people did step up to support the costs of running the instance.

Yes, that’s correct

Fair warning about vote manipulation in c/[email protected]

I have messaged them directly. At least the ones I am aware of. This is a warning to others that I may not be aware of or people who decide to try it in the future.

Fair warning about vote manipulation (infosec.pub)
 

I have no idea why this is a thing, but it’s come to my attention that there are several accounts here that are engaging in vote manipulation. This is fair warning that if it continues, I’ll be suspending the accounts involved.

Introducing old.infosec.pub in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Apologies. It should be fixed and stay fixed now. Docker gets about 37 updates per week and for some reason that particular container won’t restart on its own, so I’ve created a script to restart it automatically.

Introducing old.infosec.pub (infosec.pub)
 

Hi all. As requested, I just added the mlmym interface to infosec.pub. It approximates the old style reddit interface.

So far, it has some.... quirks. For example, as far as I can tell, you cannot post with an "undetermined" language.

Upgrade complete. Infosec.pub downtime/upgrade (infosec.pub)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi all. Lemmy 0.19.9 released today and it has some fixes I want to get in place sooner rather than later. I will be installing the upgrade in about an hour. The downtime should be minimal, but it’s also possible it goes horribly wrong and I have to run a recovery.

Edit: the upgrade is complete. It was quite painless.

infosec.pub downtime - December 14 (infosec.pub)
 

The following instances will be offline briefly on Saturday, December 14 from 9am ET / 2pm UTC for approxmately 10 minutes: infosec.exchange infosec.town infosec.pub pixel.infosec.exchange books.infosec.exchange matrix/element.infosec.exchange relay.infosec.exchange meetup.infosec.exchange video.infosec.exchange infosec.press infosec.place fedia.io fedia.social elk,.infosec.exchange infosec.space convo.casa

The servers supporting these instances require a reboot. The Dell servers these instances run on take a very long time to boot, so I am estimating 10 minutes of downtime. It could be more, could be less.

We use live patches to minimize reboots needed for patching, however Ubuntu only provides livepatch support for a year, which is how long most of these systems have been running for.

Call for moderators (infosec.pub)
 

Hi all. This community was created for a spambot (tuxbot) but it appears to have some following. Is anyone interested in moderating the community?

Infosec.pub scheduled downtime (infosec.pub)
 

Infosec.pub will be down for maintenance on Monday, July 1 2024, from approximately 10am until 1pm Eastern Time. I will be upgrading to the latest version of Lemmy, which requires an upgrade to postgres.

Infosec.pub downtime for maintenance (infosec.pub)
 

Hello everyone. I will be taking infosec.pub offline for a while today to move the instance to a new, larger server.

Changes to Infosec.pub (infosec.pub)
 

I am going to be disabling image uploads and image serving, moving to moderated signups, and instituting some extensive block lists on infosec.pub due to the pervasive problems with CSAM attacks on lemmy instances.

No, it’s not happened to any of our instances yet, but I don’t need that headache. And if anyone does, I promise you that I will make it my life’s mission to see that those responsible are convicted and rotting in prison where they belong. ❤️

Edit: h/t to @infosec_jcp for pointing out the problem to me.
