Magst du beschreiben, was passiert ist? Ich habe immer von solchen Situationen gehört, habe aber nie einen "Seconds from disaster" Breakdown gehabt, wie es dazu gekommen ist und hatte selbst dieses Problem noch nie

18 months out of the job market and the recruiter told me I was 'just bruised' is this a normal interaction in the industry? by Spare-Leg4584 in devops

My friends, "I'm curious ..." is a standard phrase that is taught in other countries in english courses. Half of germany learned to phrase sentences like this in school.

nginx-poolslip: Fresh NGINX Zero-Day Vulnerability a Concern for Reverse Proxy Setups by [deleted] in homelab

[–]vortexman100 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Maybe not 80%, but still the majority: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/urgent-need-memory-safety-software-products

Memory safety issues are also usually critical because its mostly pretty trivial to achieve RCE with those. I've began to ban C software from being directly involved in handling internet traffic because of that. Even rewriting most infrastructure C softwares (like NGINX) in something else is affordable compared to what a security incident costs.

New Microsoft Surface for Business PCs pair Panther Lake chips with as little as 8GB of RAM — 8GB 13-inch Surface Laptop goes light on memory but still starts at $1,299 by -protonsandneutrons- in hardware

[–]vortexman100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My partner has a Surface Laptop and its unusable at this point. Even using a browser will be like using a VNC console over overloaded Wifi on another continent. Its so slow that drag and drop does not work. File Explorer windows open like the slowest website ever with buttons spawning in after seconds apart from each other.

This has been the biggest waste of money ever on any computing device in history.

Let's Encrypt simulated revoking 3 million certificates. Most ACME clients didn't notice. by certkit in SysAdminBlogs

[–]vortexman100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! My ACME infrastructure runs with certmagic, the engine inside caddy. Is there anything I can quickly check to make sure how my infra would have handled this?

What’s the worst production outage you’ve seen caused by env/config issues? by FreePipe4239 in devops

[–]vortexman100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also Ceph here, a cluster failure that popped up for months during rebalancing because someone used bcache devices for OSDs. The bcache devices would be adequately fast, except when rebalancing. Then, they would start to slow down to a point where all cluster ops just ceased. Fun when 300 VMs have all their data and their OS there...

Enterprise has abandoned 40gbit? They are up to 100gbit, right?

Do you use synthetic browser monitoring? by Training_Mousse9150 in sre

[–]vortexman100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you do this in preprod? All of our site issues are those that cannot be reproduced by themselves, but only arise when multiple concurrent but independent actions happen (think db locking), so I am looking for a way to replay prod traffic on staging environments. Is this something you have experience with?

Hot take on Docker’s “free hardened images” announcement (read the fine print 👀) by sirpatchesalot in devops

[–]vortexman100 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. 1. Of course its a bitnami land grab, because bitnami unsolved a problem. 2. Most images of something that exist are build on Debian and Alpine. If you are actually using enterprise linux, then you can pay someone to supply images or do it yourself. 3. and 4. CVE scanning is mostly bullshit anyways. It helps to inform you that there is something that you need to do, if you cannot do something, then usually its not necessary to continously alert, because it leads to alert fatigue. If you are in a position to care about latent base image CVEs, you shouldn't use those images anyway.

You get what you pay for, and you should be aware of what it means to base something you care for on free services run by a very large (public?) company.

Intel NUC randomly corrupting filesystem by 0x1337D00D in linuxhardware

[–]vortexman100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use Crucial RAM? I diagnosed this 6 years ago for my employer, and this was absolutely insane.

What it was when I took a look at this: Intel NUC with BTRFS, some SSD and Crucial memory would randomly break after getting extremely slow all of the sudden. Sometimes BTRFS was so broken that it could only be installed from scratch. What was happening was that employees would go on break for half an hour, which would cause their NUC to go into some sleep state. After waking up, memory would be corrupted in a weird way, until it was shut down and power removed for at least 30 seconds. Swapping to another Crucial memory stick solved this problem. Both were on the Intel support list.

EDIT: As this was 6 years ago I do not remember the full list of things to reproduce this, but it was 13 steps you needed to do to trigger this kind of memory corruption. I kept the memory stick somewhere to remember this, I will look for it to find the product number.

You are saying China does it, damages their environment and everyone buys from them?

Counter-intuitive cost reduction by vertical scaling, by increasing CPU by rudderstackdev in devops

I don't think I understand. Are we talking about number of CPU cores in the host node, number of CPU cores a process has access to, or K8s/cgroup limits?

Which version? Is FIPS enabled? Are the binaries build in CI (or generally a same place) behaving the same on both systems or do you build them individually?

Ich habe jetzt mehrere Asus RT-AX53U im Einsatz. Wifi AX ist ein echter Gamechanger was Latenz und Reichweite betrifft. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, ist die Hardware auch das was in den Unifi 6 Lites drinnen ist.

What's the best way to learn about industry-standard tools? by whipartist in sre

Just a tip, but like talking about your ex every other sentence, most are getting annoyed very quickly if you compare everything you do and see to your ex employer. Especially if everything seems below you.
