I build things out of bits. Mostly inactive here. See @[email protected] or @stennord.bsky.social for my alter egos.

Useful postmortems usually pay little attention to "a bug at line N" (local problem cause), and instead ask "why so much disruption all at once" (blast radius), "what safety mechanisms failed" (quality gates), "was detection and remediation adequate" (operations playbook).

The #CSRB review should look not just the #Crowdstrike incident, but our current software patching practices in general. For example: should all platforms provide a possibility for a phased update where 1-5% of the endpoints are updated first, and then after verified ”no issues” observation, each organisation would have an opportunity to release the particular update for general release. Also the board should have a general look on software vendors’ testing practices, particularly on updates affecting a significant number of endpoints.

Imagine being so renowned, so famous, so invincible, that after you die, other men are in such disbelief that they fight a duel to the death themselves, on the question of whether you are actually dead or not??

Such was the case with the legend, La Chastaigneraye 🧵

What bothers me the most is how much of a market there clearly is for badly regurgitated and misunderstood high-school level history that flatters the preconceptions of evidently incurious people.

It is just striking just *how* thumbless the grasp on the past is here.

The European Council has taken a proposal to force mandatory scanning of all photos and videos sent through private messengers (including encrypted messengers like Signal) and they’ve rebranded it as “upload moderation.” The implication is that it’s voluntary when it’s not.

@skdh Had a similar situation where the salesperson explained that fiber is better than copper and radio waves because in fiber information moves at light speed.

@gunnarmorling I am using ”mvn dependency:analyze”, but I might have misunderstood you.

@tbeernot Seems my online universe has split. Linux and IT-security on Mastodon. Mil-bloggers (at least Scandinavian ones) on Bluesky. Friends, acquaintances and Java people are distributed all over different services. News orgs and government-agencies slowly going silent on X.

[Sten Nordström @safetyvalve]

@speakjava Same as many others in this thread. Yes, for consistency and dependency management.

@bkpap @tommixhelsinki Prins Carl Philip hits you with a Stridsbåt 90 for 9999 points of damage.

@dlemmermann @SeanMiPhillips I would like to exchange my bugs for bucks.

@JeffHarrison @opengeospatial Do you know if they publish styles as OGC SLD or something else?

A China-aligned espionage group developed a custom version of the Signal messaging app and distributed it through the Google Play store. The app, Signal Plus Messenger, used Signal's "Linked Devices" feature to link the victim's device to the attacker's. https://t.co/OZC94K5fex
