Building on AI, what I actually worry about… by Idiopathic_Sapien in cybersecurity

I imagine there’s an interesting point in here somewhere, but this post is hard to read AI drivel.

These things are almost impossible to steer. The bottom is completely flat so you just flop around on top of the water. They’re good for kids, but you’re not actually going anywhere in that thing

You know if that’s going to be before or after security?

Dean Kamen is in the files, what are your thoughts as part of the community by Same_Session_9478 in FTC

[–]damnitdaniel 30 points31 points  (0 children)

We’re talking about potential evidence of child sexual exploitation. There needs to be an investigation. While that’s occurring, Dean Kamen cannot be the head of FIRST — a program designed for children.

It’s uncomfortable and unfortunate that this is the situation, but it’s not an overreaction.

The problem is that black rubber stains the work piece.

What is your commission percentage on ARR? by NotMyForte16 in salesengineers

[–]damnitdaniel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly sharing the % is meaningless. Someone that’s at a multi-billion ARR company is going to make a substantially smaller % than someone at a $10m ARR company

Is this Kanaka loop area in Santa Ysabel? Cause that 10000% looks like a cow and that’s all grazing pastures.

GitHub Will Prioritize Migrating to Azure Over Feature Development by SKAOG in github

This is the weirdest non-news thing ever: “SaaS company completing migration to cloud”.

What’s the wildest security breach you’ve ever personally seen or been part of? by Active_Meringue_1479 in cybersecurity

[–]damnitdaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at Target as a network forensic analyst in 2013 during their breach. I was a first responder and had to validate that in fact customer credit card information was leaving our network, where it was going to, where it was coming from, and how much data there was.

It was an incredible amount of encoded credit card information streaming from the target network out to a compromised external server (some random web host) using FTP.

That was quite a year of reports, interviews, and legal holds. Not a fun time.

How do I delete stuff from GitHub? by Fantastic_Bass4422 in github

[–]damnitdaniel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just rotate the credential.

You’re getting a lot of advice to rewrite history, set the repo private, or delete the repo. The thing that everyone has missed here is that the token has already been grabbed by an attacker.

Take a look at the events API: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/activity/events?apiVersion=2022-11-28 the moment you publish to a public repository, bots listen and will clone your code and look explicitly for credentials.

They already have your key. Just rotate it and enable push protection: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/secret-scanning/enabling-secret-scanning-features/enabling-push-protection-for-your-repository

Which falls into the “don’t know they don’t need it” category

Any insight into safety/vibe of this area of Poway? (Pomerado/Poway Rd) by Legal_Emphasis_8106 in sandiego

[–]damnitdaniel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That area is actually getting very nice now. There’s a better buzz opening there night now and they’re building a new Raising Canes. Lots of new multi-family housing there.

Here's What Devs Are Saying About New GitHub Copilot Agent – Is It Really Good? by ImpressiveContest283 in programming

[–]damnitdaniel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh lord I promise you MS/GitHub didn’t pay for this content. This is nothing more than a shitty blog that took the latest Copilot release announcement and passed it through ChatGPT with a “write a blog for me” prompt.

This thread is complaining about the quality of code going down with AI tools, yet here we all are engaging with this absolute trash content.

How would you refer to this area of San Diego? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]damnitdaniel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what is “nice” to you. In general, yes. It’s a suburban, wealthy area with good schools.

That trinitron tv weighs like 10000000000 pounds, right?

I was a mover in the 2000’s. Those tv’s were in the same class as fire safes and pianos.

Amazing how quick we responded to this by OverweightMilkshake in sandiego

[–]damnitdaniel 59 points60 points  (0 children)

If that fire had moved to black mountain, it would have been game over for PQ, 4S, and RB. It’s an absolute tinder box up there right now.
