No thanks, I would not like to have my personal data stored and accessed by you and your 876 'trusted' partners πŸ™„

Good write-up and reminder when you use AI decisions are still yours. It's a great tool, but like with calculators, you should understand how it works and when it's not! πŸ˜‰ lewislin.substack.com/p/dear-lewis...

(Bloomberg) - Microsoft Corp. has begun canceling leases for a substantial amount of datacenter capacity in the US, a move that may reflect concerns about whether it’s building more AI computing than it will need over the long term, TD Cowen said in a report. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Lovely, let's just make everything more secure so Gov can access it πŸ™„

Still hanging around #HashiDays and picked up the role of MC and really having fun. What a great ways to spend more time with the lovely community! Still time to join for last few sessions: events.hashicorp.com/hashitalks2025

πŸ€£πŸ’― They suggest using AWS Wickr now πŸ™ƒ

If using #EKS and #AWS CodePipeline, there is a native integration now. This looks useful, but also one of the things you'd think it was already there πŸ™ƒ aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Oh, nice - looks like a good out of the box feature of #AWS #ECS!

Everything begins with an idea. #DailyMotivation #inspiration #motivation #bestadvice #lifelessons #changeyourmindset

That's wicked; obfuscation technique exploits invisible Unicode characters, specifically Hangul half-width (U+FFA0) and Hangul full-width (U+3164). Each ASCII character in the JS payload is converted into 8-bit binary and replaced with invisible characters: www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

It's tomorrow and I'm excited to talk again about #Terraform #Security and also catch up with other members of the community! We have an amazing line-up again at @hashicorp.com #HashiTalks events.hashicorp.com/hashitalks2025

It's just a rename, how hard can that be, right? 😜 "...we are renaming AWS Chatbot to Amazon Q Developer. We are changing our plans for rolling out this change. ...we have begun rollout of the change for Microsoft Teams. We are delaying the change for Slack. We will continue to update you..."

"Free speech" platform has more restrictions than many others πŸ€ͺ

This is very applicable to most hyped tech , e.g. #AI . Learn how things work and their true purpose! πŸ’­ "The purpose of a system is what it does. There is after all, no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do." -Stafford Beer (1985) #systemsThinking

🀨 "In addition, the Guardian will also roll out ChatGPT Enterprise to develop new products, features and tools." 😞

Remember to take the stone out of your shoe - most of things start as small at first πŸ₯Ύ

πŸ’― and if you only after not and don't have any input, your attendance shouldn't be required anyway.

Oh, that's cool and useful to have as part of #Docker buildx πŸš€. Thanks for sharing @adrianmouat.com !

⚠️A good reminder to use specific AMI ID or ownerID when filtering for #AWS AMIs and avoid name confusion attack: www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit... Also consider using new security control named 'Allowed AMIs' and #Terraform provider >=5.77 outputs a warning to users when "most_recent = true"

TIL 🀯

Unfortunately, that seems to be the zeitgeist now πŸ˜’

I guess the slogan is β€œdon’t BE evilβ€”BECOME evil.”

Finnaly arrived πŸŽ‰. Started reading @jathansadowski.com's book The Mechanic and the Luddite. It's proving to be a good deconstruction of #capital and #technology, uncovering their intertwined ties through humans.

In words of @quinnypig.com 😜: "...I have wanted this since CloudFormation first came out. It sounds ridiculous, but until now the approach has always been either "replace it or learn to live with it," or the next thing to it via nested stacks." πŸ’― aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops...

We're less than two weeks away until next #HashiTalks kick off with 24h community talks about #Terraform and other @hashicorp.com tools! I'll be talking about keeping sensitive values safe in #Terraform configurations. It'll be fun and I hope to see you there πŸ‘‹: events.hashicorp.com/hashitalks2025

That's useful to to scope access and potential misconfiguration of #OIDC in #AWS!

This seems like a massive #privacy overreach:"The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service." πŸ™ˆ US government previously refused, but if this changes I think it'd set a dangerous precedent. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We see a lot of people recommending OpenOffice on here – but just be aware that it is no longer receiving updates (last was in 2023) and now has unfixed security issues over a year old: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – Far safer to use the actively maintained successor projects, like LibreOffice.

It was another amazing #CfgMgmtCamp πŸ§‡πŸ»! It was great to seeing you all and having those great conversations leaving me with new ideas. Cheers @krisbuytaert.bsky.social and Tosh for organising and until next time πŸ‘‹. Also excited to see next cool features @adamhjk.me and his team @systeminit.com shipπŸš€

We can now rename and move logical resources in CloudFormation while retaining the physical resources?!

Sometimes is important to slow down and sharpen the axe - "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast." πŸ’­
