Lightning sign forward Tyler Motte to one-year, $800K contract
  • The bolts may not have a great season. I think they've made some upgrades on a tight budget. The old 4th line was found in an archaeological dig somewhere. But it could still be rough. But the contracts are all short. When the cap goes up, the Atlantic is facing a team with a lot of holes, a lot of money, and the know how and desire to win. I could see them making a first or second round again this season. Next season, no one is safe.

  • [Weekly] What are you reading this week? [9/03/23]
  • I just finished The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera a couple days ago. I think it'll take me a bit before I have a fully formed opinion of it. I can say that the writing is excellent. Most of the characters are unlikeable, but all have redeeming qualities. Right now I don't feel like it was a satisfying read, but I can already tell it's going to stick with me for a while.

  • SWAG cant see other containers
  • Swag has to have its own docker network, and the containers proxies through swag have to be on that network. It can't be bridge or host. Spaceinvaderone did a good video in setting this up and covers that part very clearly, I think. Maybe I misunderstood, but since you said they're all on the same network, I assumed it was their original network.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading? 03 August
  • I finished Small Mercies by Dennis Lehane, which was an enjoyable read. He's a great writer and a great plotter. This book is very much in the vein of what he does, but he changed the perspective around and it works. It isn't his best book, but it's refreshing.

    I started The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I've never read anything by him before but I've always heard about this book. Finally picked it up, and it's very early going, but I love what I've read so far. I'm going to end up having more to say about this book.

    I'm listening to The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I read it in hardcover sometime not that long after it came out, but it's fun revisiting it. I remember the writing differently than it sounds.

  • Tampa General Hospital cyber attack stopped before ransom attempt
  • The cynic in me says they would have just let people die rather than not be able to bill them. But the realist in me knows that it took them a year to bill me for an ER visit, so it's just that no one knows what anyone else is doing.

    All that aside, it's disturbing that they had no clue anything at all had gone wrong until 19 days after intrusion. We're never going to get a real post-mortem on this one unless Morgan & Morgan drags it out of them in open court, but that's pretty damn long. Usually these attacks are either very quickor very deliberate. In the latter case, often they gain access to one account, which may or may not be terribly over-privileged, and then move laterally, discovering other services, accounts, and level of access. It's very tricky, very professional, and very smart. And sometimes it's based on vulnerabilities that aren't publicly known. In outer words, if that happens, you're kinda fucked and this type of response is the best you can hope for.

    There's always more security you can implement, and there are always things you could have done better. I'm pissed about them giving up my info, but I work in this field and I know how damn hard it is to do better. I'm not cheerleading for them, but coulda been worse, I guess?

  • All the downsides of cloud computing with none of the upsides!
  • Ah, so you haven't been a sysadmin at all through the last ten years of watching fucking security updates get stuffed in a subscription. Unless you think hardware subscriptions are something new? Cause that's also old hat to anyone who runs anything professionally. We know. This is just rent a center for gamers. The only way to win is not to play. But in this case, it's SUPER easy not to play.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading? 27 July
  • I'm about two thirds of the way through Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane. And I finished The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore today.

    I don't think Lehane ever really misses. His plots aren't usually all that dense but the characters are deep and compelling. And the writing is way better than it seems like it should be. Every once in a while you I read a line and think, "Where did that come from, and how did it get here?" He's a really talented writer.

    Moore is not that. But he's fun and entertaining. This book was not his best effort. But it was fine. If you like Moore, you'll like this one we'll enough.

  • Someone has tried to blackmail me.
  • No, mark it as spam. There are probably 800 addresses in the BCC if that lame phishing attempt. I see hundreds of these in quarantine for the email server I run. They're all the same. No one did anything except find your email address, maybe, and send you this garbage.

  • Not sure what this is, but for a second I got my hopes up for oyster.

    Central Florida, so probably not oyster. Also, definitely not an oyster based on that stem. And it was only an inch and half tall.

    We're buddies now

    I don't know its name but I want to say it's something like Hortense. Horace?
