The killer application for me is that my wired Ethernet security cameras are on a VLAN that I firewall from the internet.


It’d be funny if he bought it then returned it to Mars.


That would make it even more valuable.


Gott in Himmel, to whom?

Who on Earth is in the set of peeps who's both wealthy enough to do so and lives in awe of Musk? Wouldn't such fool and said fool's money have been parted long ago?


I’m surprised that a “tech company” provides a Chromebook instead of a laptop.


Probably the most secure client system you can get these days. The purpose of the laptop is to ssh.


ChromeOS is more than enough for lots of roles. Even for devs (backend, web and android etc) it should be good enough if you have good enough CPU, RAM and storage.


Sure and water is enough for hydration so their cafeteria has no actual coffee or what.

If you'd force me (a dev used to work on a blazingly fast Linux machine) to use this I'd just be inclined to look for a job elsewhere. Not sure if that was in your interest as a corp.


Do you not consider a Chromebook to be a type of laptop? Is that because of the form factor or the OS?


What’s up with wvdbozpfc.com?

There’s a bunch of random looking domain names: cmidphnvq.com, rpqihexdb.com, facebook.com. I’d guess they for advertising?


I looked up a couple. They're cloudflare regional servers.


Or malware, those would typically be fairly random domain names that are queried for updates or instructions by a large number of infected devices.


That's what I'm thinking too. That would suggest some very large operational botnets ... :-/


Or they query the DNS very often. Most devices have DNS caching, so if things like tiktok.com end up there, there must be a loot of devices (also, a lot of subdomains, which aren't visible in these lists).


Are there host lists for pihole/adguard/ublock for these kinds of domains?

I'd assume the domains change regularly if it's malware or bot networks, but because they rank so high in this list, it sounds like it should be feasible to keep a blocklist somewhat up to date.


It could also be ad networks; create random domains and subdomains so that simple domain blocklists are difficult to keep up to date efficiently (or at least, so that constant maintenance is required).

Some of these lists are already in uBO out of the box.


It could be a good pattern for spam/ads organizations, changing the random domain name as soon as traffic drops because the actual ones ended in enough blocklists.


Also blockdh100b ?


router.blockdh100b.net resolves

so does router.blockdh100c.co


The keyword is "mono-monostatic", and the Gömböc is an example of a non-polyhedra one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6mb%C3%B6c

Here's a 21 sided mono-monostatic polyhedra: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.13727v2


Okay, I love this so much :-). Thanks for that.

Do you have a link to this? I’m curious to read more.

Also talks about the likely success of the 'bunker busters' at Fodrow.


If you can transfer to another team internally, do it. Otherwise start looking for another job. I’ve done both to escape bad managers. In my experience there is no way to “fix” a bad manager. The only solution is to leave.


I'd like to disagree with this but it's the only thing that's worked for me.

If you do stay, there's a good chance the manager will eventually be found out. You can play a subtle sabotage game in the background to expedite it. Don't save them from their mistakes, and undermine them by talking about the mistakes. Don't blame them but rather let conversation about mistakes lead them to the same conclusion.

Personally I'm not patient enough to stick around anywhere, so I definitely wouldn't in your case unless I really cared.


I’m terribly sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Fyre Festival 2 has been cancelled https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/new...

> Why not require two or three reviews if they are so helpful at finding mistakes?

For secure software, e.g. ASIL-D, you will absolutely have a minimum 2 reviewers. And that’s just for the development branch. Merging to a release branch requires additional sign offs from the release manager, safety manager, and QA.

By design the process slows down “velocity”, but it definitely increases code quality and reduces bugs.


Once again let me reframe the mindset. Trying to get a perfect change where you anticipate every possible thing that will go wrong beforehand is impossible - or at least extremely costly. The alternative is to spend your effort on making it easy to find and fix problems after.


You are not anticipating every possible bugs. It's mostly a learning experience for you and the team if it's done correctly. Someone may proposes another approach, highlight certain aspects that needs to be done "right" (definition may vary), let you know possible pitfalls, etc... It's not always LGTM.
