“Hugh, you SOB!”
IMO the interactions between Hugh & Diana can be presented to be more genuine. Pragmata is visually amazing, and the hacking gameplay is refreshing & challenging. Lots of respect to Capcom for taking risks to introduce something new.
kubectx v0.11 now ships with a 'readonly' mode for kubectl (and any tool that uses k8s API) and forbids any calls that mutate state.
it basically runs a temporary reverse proxy to block these requests during the lifespan of the shell. here's a demo:
true story.
a company hired a security firm to do an annual penetration test. the same firm they'd used for 3 years.
each year, the report said "no critical findings. overall security posture: strong."
each year, the company showed the report to their customers and investors. "look, we're secure."
a new CISO joined and looked at the previous reports. something was off.
the reports were almost identical year to year. same structure. same language.
same findings (minor). same recommendations (generic).
she hired a different firm for the next assessment.
the new firm found 9 critical vulnerabilities, 23 highs, and 41 mediums. in the same environment the previous firm had called "strong."
she confronted the original firm. asked for their methodology. their testing evidence.
they couldn't provide it.
the previous firm had been running an automated scanner, copying the output into a template, and billing $60,000 per year for what was essentially a Nessus report with a logo on it.
3 years. $180,000. zero real testing. and a security posture report that the company had been showing to customers and investors.
not all pentest firms are equal. not all reports reflect real testing.
if your pentest report is the same every year and always clean, that's not a sign that you're secure. it's a sign that your testing isn't thorough enough.
a good pentest should hurt a little. if it doesn't find anything, either you're genuinely exceptional or the tester isn't really trying.
Turns out Sam Altman "buying up" 40% of DRAM wafers was actually him writing Letters of Intent. Letters he supposedly had / has no intention of converting to actual purchases now.
And memory manufacturers are just getting DUMPED on today.🍿🍿
Fun fact:
If you speed up Namielle's theme to 1.112x speed and overlay it on top of Vaal Hazak's theme they will sync up!
Additionally some of the verses alternate as if having a back and forth conversation :P

Programmer discourse is at an all time low.
No one talks about things that matter. They just talk about feeding the clanker, coercing the clanker, massaging the clanker, herding the clankers and of course - clanker whispering.
Didn't we used to solve problems?
