Yet another example of the Race to the Bottom, exemplified by Jack Welch running GE into the ground.
Take great brands that people trust, and slowly erode quality to increase profits until you've sucked up all the money and you're left with a dried-up husk of a company.
This smells like market manipulation. Imagine you're a feckless con that only cares about getting rich, and you're president. Have you and your friends pull money out of the stock market and put it into gold or crypto. Tank the market with tariffs, and then buy back into the market knowing that once you lift the tariffs everyone on the inside of this game will profit in a big way.
This is what Americans voted for. Choices have consequences folks.
DevOPS is for lazy people. "We can waste a lot more effort itterating than bothering to design right in the first place."
Ansible is an excuse for DevOPS people to say "We don't test our code, but we could if we wanted to."
This comment about DevOps and Ansible is worth unpacking a bit.
DevOps is a philosophy and a strategy for collaboration between development and operations, while Ansible is a tool for
automation. They are not substitutes for quality control, testing, or systems thinking. Effective DevOps requires a culture that
prioritizes reliability, safety, and design and it's up to an organization's leadership to promote that.
You're gonna start hearing a lot about this and soon.
Almost like using certificates with expirations when you have no automated solution to update them is a bad idea, and amounts to putting a time bomb in every product you ship.
Certificate expiration offers theoretical security improvements and real, practical pain at defined intervals across the entire tech industry.
It wasn't worth it.
What a subject line. How old are you buddy? Everybody on Slashdot is in their 40s and 50s surely. Time to grow up.
Things like this make the idea of intelligent alien life seem more and more remote. Even on Earth we needed random and unpredictable events like 100 million years of a snowball Earth to kickstart multicellular life. Then consider all the events that had to happen after that, though further billions of years, until you arrive at human beings. We got stuck in a rut with dinosaurs and needed a meteor to wipe them out in order to keep moving forward.
There are probably billions of worlds out there where life has never moved past single cellular life, and we are in all likelihood alone in our galaxy, if not our universe. This is both scary and exciting.
Certificate expiry and renewal failures are a few orders of magnitude, maybe a dozen, above proven in-the-wild compromised TLS key attacks. There is a point where the tradeoff between security and reliability becomes far too bad to be worth it, and this tradeoff was already pretty bad with annual renewals. Now we see this insanity playing out.
No. No more short lived certificates. Just stop.

Capturing ice from orbit, melting it, and looking at the water under a microscope seems like a pretty obvious experiment to run if you're looking for evidence of life. They do have a dust analyzer. But why no microscope?
Unless you're closing your main every time you're done using water, they can and do use the residual pressure in your system as a 'ballast' of sorts to balance pressure on your street.
Gravity is a myth, the Earth sucks.
