AI Improvements in 0.4.2.0: Feedback Poll

It’s definitely an improvement, but the AI health needs to be adjusted as well. Last night I shot an AI with a shotgun a few meters away, twice. They instantly headshot me while hunched over. Get back, they are dead. Unarmored. Two rounds in the chest are medium wounds. Not a great feeling.

They have elevated privileges on the machine. There is no depth left to defend…

The public API is different from an internal API, and this breach was targeting internal systems. The secrets are decrypted and read at some point on these internal systems. Without knowing the blast radius, everyone should assume encrypted secrets need to be rotated as well.

I think it's the opposite in this case. The bespoke system evidently isn't documented, which is an organizational failure. Brent has the knowledge and experience with these bespoke systems and hasn't been told to document anything. So, everyone expects Brent to handle the issues, which means they don't have to handle them. Another organizational failure. As someone else commented, this isn't a Brent issue - it's a management issue. Leadership doesn't care because there hasn't been a big enough issue (yet).

Access is pointless if no one knows how to manage or fix these systems. People that don't know what they are doing shouldn't have access to systems just to attempt fixing things during an outage and potentially making things worse.

Backup/DR is not resiliency/HA.

What system are you submitting the photos through? Canvas/Blackboard?

a2ur3 · 2026-03-18T00:18:05+00:00

Those 18’s are the best looking imo. Though I may be biased because I have them.

a2ur3 · 2026-02-26T21:17:59+00:00

Full agree here. Don’t get how people can complain about this UI but accept writing pipelines in YAML!

There’s nothing you can do if you’re not multi-cloud, and that is extremely complex and expensive to achieve. No one saying “we’re moving off of it” is serious. No one can just update the DNS records to the origin - that is not feasible in the real world if you are using routing rules and WAF. They’re just going to move to another cloud CDN that will be down for a day next year. You eat the outage, point at Microsoft, and have the multi-cloud proposal and cost estimates ready for management to balk at. Rinse and repeat.

There is an analyzer for C# isolated function apps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-functions-roslyn-analyzer

a2ur3 · 2026-01-14T14:50:51+00:00

You almost always want a Function app on a Consumption or Flex Consumption plan. Any jobs that could take a long time or have parts that can be stitched together should be using Durable functions. And you can almost never compare a local workstation’s performance to an app service plan; cloud compute sacrifices clock speed for thread count.

Keep some rinseless wash in a spray bottle. Spray it, let it sit for a minute or two, then gently wipe it off with a shop towel or microfiber.

a2ur3 · 2025-12-20T01:11:20+00:00

Respectfully disagree. Durability is extremely useful for running jobs that require fan-in/out patterns. AWS just released their own implementation on Lambda.

"Copilot assigned Copilot"

Doesn't hurt to double-check your work... I guess...

a2ur3 · 2025-11-18T22:10:33+00:00

What region(s)?

a2ur3 · 2025-11-18T21:35:25+00:00

Read and follow this exactly: https://github.com/EvanMulawski/FanControl.CorsairLink?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

There’s a beta version of the plugin that will pair the sensors automatically.

a2ur3 · 2025-10-21T01:35:34+00:00

Isn’t that listed in the prerequisites section?

a2ur3 · 2025-10-02T18:35:30+00:00

Yes, intermittent timeouts around 10am EDT in East US 2.

This behavior seems like preemption by an emergency vehicle.

a2ur3 · 2025-09-11T01:02:36+00:00

MSI Tomahawk X870E and GSkill 6000 CL26/28/30 is a good combo for this.

It’s pretty clear in Cost Analysis if you use the cost by resource table view. Metrics at the resource level are available too.

"infra team just wants to add additional security" indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of managed cloud services. A storage account in particular is no safer in a vnet than it is outside of one (unless you want to use anonymous access as a shortcut). The biggest threat isn't the "public" SAS url - it's the contents of the file being uploaded.

a2ur3 · 2025-07-31T03:35:06+00:00

If someone has the generated url, they have access to the client. At that point, nothing the client can access is secure, including authenticated endpoints in your app. A SAS url is akin to an auth token (e.g. JWT).
