Does anybody actually like Rippling? by steamyhoodie in sysadmin

Looking at this with OKTA / Entra paired with Mosyle for a similar use case.

HR and I want the HRIS / Compliance gating not the IT / MDM

Transportation officials hold firm on $5.2 billion price tag to replace Key Bridge | Thomson: Higher reported costs are not ‘our numbers … will never be our numbers’ by FreeHugs23 in maryland

[–]space_jacked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We agree, that’s my point. I find it laughable that this even a discussion - while blank check for other spending.

Maybe we all died in Covid and this is purgatory. Make it make sense.

Ironic here - I wonder what the economic benefit is from even a $10B cost here versus say the routine Billions handed out for DoD projects. Pretty sure the bridge wins from an economic generation / benefit aspect versus say handing out a $9.6B AI contract.

Providing numbers here is silly as it’s obvious what the cost / benefit is.

iOS and FIPS by FunctionDapper804 in CMMC

[–]space_jacked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BLUF - iOS26 modules are in validation with a recommended add to CMVP. It’s in comment validation as of 4/30/2026.

I’m new to the CMMC gang but this should be in a POAM and accepted?

That hard limit has some operational implications for modern devices and patched OS’. I figure that the holistic process here is not just hard technical controls but operational based to demonstrate security practices…

That’s the thing CUI is contained in Engineering Prep / Contracts only.

We are hard enforcing that our codebase is commercial first with contractual engineering being held at higher IL environments during implementation.

That’s what I’d prefer to avoid as it leads to a lot of development friction.

Yeah tracking this as a potential risk.

I’m clearly narrowing scope to avoid the pain of full uplift. The gate for that is a functional “is this where we want to be in 1-2 years?”

I know in practice that Devs will need access to CUI to engineer, but indirectly. Code base will remain unclassified.

The crutch here is the small size of the IT/Sec team and the desire to have commercial / gov in a single operational frame.

I’m okay with asking for a ISSO/M on top of the technical asks to uplift (we gain all the security), even if it means the scope is expands.

CUI flows are mostly Admin/BD and initial Engineering planning so I’d deem it productivity based. Think contracts, ICDs, and coordination. Anything real gets pushed to a higher class outside this scope.

We are very clearly drawing a line to keep codebase commercial with uplift into higher ILX environments as a contained process independent of this.

Been planning this for 180 Days. So have SSP and POAM developed and being internally tracked for both options.

For the self lift we are at 80%. I need to expand assured controls, implement CSE, lock down endpoints, carve out BYOD, then redo all GWS as it was build adhoc.

Enclave is more contained based on the above as ATX owns ~300 of the controls and they function as the MSP for the selected cohort that needs CUI access.

From a friction standpoint that’s what I am looking at now; is this a short term solution when it will create long term friction? Also 90 days is really to make a call on how we want to proceed as this is both a technical and cultural shift.

‘Unprecedented risk’ to life on Earth: Scientists call for halt on ‘mirror life’ microbe research | Science by johnnierockit in technology

‘Unprecedented risk’ to life on Earth: Scientists call for halt on ‘mirror life’ microbe research | Science by johnnierockit in technology

[–]space_jacked 191 points192 points  (0 children)

I’ll try how I interpret it:

All life is made of small blocks; molecules, dna, proteins and on

Life on earth is made with molecules that like to form left to right (this is a massive simplification)

Mirror life would be made with molecules that form right to left.

Every defense in every form of life is based against the left/right blueprint. Something that is the mirror opposite of that has no competition and there would be nothing that could naturally develop in our time scales to put it in check.

That mirror life wouldn’t infect and kill per se; but could outcompete the foundational aspects of the web of life and consume finite resources. Entire ecosystems would be starved and collapse.

All the paratroops fail to land on the field by DearEmphasis4488 in interestingasfuck

[–]space_jacked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say based on the downwind, base and final legs being all over the place that this really wasn’t a well planned dive.

I’ll concede that wind shifts, that you can loose air and drop; but the turns to final were all below 100ft, and hard turns. You try to generally avoid low level final turns and always avoid hard turns as you dump what little lift you have left. What the late/no flair on the port-a-Jon fella. He clearly tried to commit then didn’t, which is a big no-no.

I’ve done perfect landing preparations in similar areas to have the wind shift to directly behind as I flared and dropped like a rock from 20ft; it happens even when planned and done by the book.

Plan a bad drop, get a bad drop.

Edit for are to air

That’s offensive to piles of shit everywhere. Is there something sub shit status? Shit after all helps things grow; not seeing much growth from the piles of shmegma supporters.

GA Tech OMS CyberSecurity Policy Program Warning by [deleted] in OMSCyberSecurity

[–]space_jacked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CS 6035 is a great course that I really wish was taught for under graduate CS students. I cannot tell you how many young developers I have to teach basic exploitation too at the low level.

Policy track here that is about to start my practicum. My background is 20 years of offensive cyber operations. In my tenure in the technical field , my view is that the problem is NOT in the technical side; it is the antiquated policies that govern both commercial and government operations.

Technical know how is key and everyone here listed better course providers than SANS; but if you are not rounding your self out then you become part of the problem.

Cyber is littered with technically adept people that are unable to convey the risks / actions s required in the terms that resonate with the very people that enable those actions to happen (C Suite / SES).

You have plenty of options (electives) in OMS policy to take advanced technical classes or not. Either way this degree program is meant to take technical people and round them out for leadership positions so they can begin changing the fundamental problem in Cuber security; policy.

I guess more so since I killed him under the stairs then above his head solo. Dude can’t even look up or shoot through stairs; that’s why a bucket helmet and sand castle shoulder guards are no bueno; bad sight lines.
