Personal pet peeve... Using "localhost" as a default server instead of the family agnostic local address.

You're secretly relying on a local system resolver that behaves differently on different systems and there are a surprising number of systems that don't specify "localhost" in their hosts file silently breaking things in weird ways.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a #Linux desktop #EDR solution? Seems like a difficult space to do EDR on but I'd like to let my devs keep using Linux even if we have to standardize on a distro.

Buried in the Google Cloud deletion article is this gem:

> UniSuper, an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members, had its entire account wiped out at Google Cloud, including all its backups that were stored on the service. UniSuper thankfully had some backups with a different provider and was able to recover its data, but according to UniSuper's incident log, downtime started May 2, and a full restoration of services didn't happen until May 15.

Less than two weeks of downtime with their entire cloud account and all primary backups deleted. THAT'S AWESOME. I hope their disaster recovery team gets CEO level bonuses.

Casually getting a solid evocative definition from a local-first language models running on my phone:

"Petricor" refers to the pleasant, earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word comes from the Greek words "petra," meaning stone, and "ichor," the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology. This distinctive smell is caused by the release of certain chemicals, primarily a compound called geosmin, which is produced by bacteria in the soil. The smell of petricor often evokes strong associations with nature and the freshness following a rain shower.

I'm seeing a lot of people finding low quality ChatGPT integrations that are just proxied to the OpenAI API with a system prompt... It reminds me A LOT of malware in the 90s. Things are pretty harmless but are low key costing people money to deal with...

I think there is a lot about 90s cyber security that will need to be relearned all over again around these integrations and I'm just waiting for people to figure out these embedded chats could probably have their system prompt broken and used raw instead of paying for their own OpenAI API access...

I will now start arguing that pop-ups are a national security concern. I'm so accustomed to dismissing unwelcome and useless pop-ups I dismissed both the emergency notifications without glancing at their content because I was doing comms for an active incident.
