Top Gun: Maverick ends with Tom Cruise unable to land his F-35C because a flaw in his helmet makes it impossible to see the carrier’s landing lights. He ditches the $100 million plane and the Navy vows a software update will fix the glitch, which has existed since 2012.

Holy shit ⁦@Namecheap⁩, the FUD ⁦@letsencrypt⁩ has had to debunk here is just insane. It’s not just the barbs thrown to selfishly protect your commercial interests, it’s the fundamental misunderstandings of how certs even work. community.letsencrypt.org/t/…

Don't just look at unusual traffic coming into your network... Always be curious about unusual traffic leaving your network. Your network is not a castle so don't just trust a moat! #SecOps
An airgap firewall can be breached. Always try and think like an attacker. #SecOps

Haven't used @Ansible in months. Faced with total anarchy in a new (to me) test lab. 2 hour refresher => all VMs patched, audited and fully managed. Phew! :-D #ReturnToDevOps #DevOps

Typical forum question: How do I do this? 1st comment: Why would you even want to do this? Comments 2-8: Arguing why to do or not do it. Comment 9, 2yrs later: Did you ever figure out how to do this?
