Was working with GitLeaks this morning, when it failed to find over 20 secrets in a git repo.
Here are examples of what it didn't find:
INDEXER_PASSWORD=SecretPassword
INDEXER_PASSWORD=SecretPassword
API_PASSWORD=MyS3cr37P450r.*-
DASHBOARD_PASSWORD=kibanaserver
That is EXTREMELY disappointing! These are pretty obvious secrets!

Like this one container that was consuming almost half the CPU on my server for no reason I could determine.
A simple restart kicked it in the pants and got it back to normal.
I love stats! This sure beats the days of MRTG.

It was a lot of work to move to chezmoi, but it has been a huge life saver with all of its built-in templates and scripting. I've done so much that makes my life easier maintaining a shell environment across multiple devices.
I have different profiles for work, personal, and servers. It installs different apps or withholds secrets if need be.
The integration with 1Password is awesome as well. All of my secrets are store in 1P and chezmoi simply pulls them out on my personal systems.

Well, after spending an hour trying to troubleshoot and debug all the problems that I experienced I finally gave up.
I'm rather disappointed because I was really looking forward to using their images.
Anyone else have this experience or something better?

I'd given it 1GB of RAM and suddenly it was timing out frequently, I couldn't even SSH in to it, and the virtual console was hung.
Because I had Beszel monitoring my servers, I was able to tell some of what was going on, specifically to guess it was RAM related.
I doubled the RAM to 2GB and now she's happy as can be! Memory usage increased as expected, but peaked around 1GB and disk I/O returned to normal since a ton of jobs were no longer backed up!
I guess you'll never be able to take the sysadmin out of me.

I love speaking about security at non-security conferences, because it gives an opportunity to open up the discussion to a new audience.
The talk was recorded and I'll post when there's a video, but in the mean time you can check out my slides below!

My talk is called "Give Up! Just Stop Patching Vulnerabilities!" and is all about taking a proactive approach to application security. DevOps practitioners are a critical starting point for implementing security and building in best practices!
If you are in attendance, I hope to see you there and that you'll come talk to me!
