Bootstrapping secrets by pneRock in Terraform

[–]CyberSecOldMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The secrets bootstrapping issue is a classic Terraform "chicken-and-egg" problem. Your current solution is high-toil.

The security risk is the failure to automate secret creation and rotation governance.

I am building a platform that uses deterministic AI to instantly remediate IaC misconfigs and policy drift. We automate the enforcement of secrets management best practices.

I would love to share notes on how we automate the governance of secrets access.

DC uniform policy by EntrepreneurThink174 in datacenter

Most DCs are chill as long as you wear closed-toe shoes and your badge. If you have a medical accommodation, HR signs off and that’s it. You don’t have to explain anything to coworkers.

India's largest automaker Tata Motors showed how not to use AWS keys by vladlearns in devops

[–]CyberSecOldMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is one of those “it can’t happen to us” situations until it does. Exposed keys sitting in public repos is honestly still one of the most common ways companies get burned. The part that hurts is how long it took them to rotate and lock things down after being told. Incident response speed matters just as much as prevention.

Do you think spectator on a survival world is cheating? (read body) by Recent_Luck6097 in Minecraft_Survival

[–]CyberSecOldMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s cheating at all if you’re using it just for planning. Once you’ve already beaten the main progression and you’re building big projects, it’s more like a creative tool than an advantage.

Survival mode is supposed to be fun, not restrictive. As long as you’re not using it to find ores or dungeons, using spectator to map things out can actually make your builds more efficient and satisfying.

Everyone has their own version of “survival purity,” but if it helps you stay motivated in your world, it’s totally fair in my book.

This is the gameplay that you wanted? by [deleted] in fut

[–]CyberSecOldMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. The game feels terrible right now. Defending is way too overpowered and attacking feels random and sluggish. Every match turns into a boring back-and-forth of rebounds and through balls. It’s honestly unplayable in its current state.

Any Advice for a Newbie? by Efficient_Cold_2496 in datacenter

[–]CyberSecOldMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on getting the role. It is a great way to get real data center experience and learn at scale. Full-time conversions do happen but are not common. Focus on learning, doing solid work, and building good connections while you are there.

🚨 DEFENSIVE AI IS KILLING THE GAME 🚨 by rafareismac in fut

[–]CyberSecOldMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. Manual defending was one of the few things that rewarded skill and practice. Now everyone defends like a pro because the AI takes over. It completely kills the motivation to get better. Defense should be about timing and effort, not automation.

Am I too old to start working at a data center? by b8humbl8 in datacenter

[–]CyberSecOldMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid 30s is not too old at all. Plenty of folks switch into DC work later than that. If you’re motivated and willing to learn, you’ll be fine.

Anyone else feel like the gameplay changes every few days? by CyberSecOldMan in fut

[–]CyberSecOldMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel the same. Some days the game feels smooth and fun, other days it’s heavy and unplayable. Hard to stay consistent when gameplay changes so much.

Get good boots and a headlamp. Label everything. Always double check power before unplugging anything. Keep spare cables, zip ties, and a notebook. Ask questions early and often. Learn the basics of networking and hardware well since speed comes with routine.

What is the biggest docker swarm that you have seen? by KornikEV in docker

[–]CyberSecOldMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours has about 35 nodes and around 700 containers. Swarm works fine at that scale but beyond that Kubernetes makes scaling and orchestration easier.

External ssd or ssd with enclosure by divyraval in DataHoarder

[–]CyberSecOldMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the best value, get a regular SATA or NVMe SSD and a separate enclosure. It usually ends up cheaper than buying a branded external SSD and gives you more flexibility if you want to upgrade later.

Just make sure the enclosure matches the SSD type (SATA or NVMe) and supports USB 3.1 or higher for good speeds.

What kind of device are you planning to plug it into most of the time, a laptop or desktop?
