The Risk of Centralized Data Control

In Animal Farm, the pigs consolidate power, leading to total control. Similarly, centralized data silos today present a significant risk: what happens if they’re compromised? Decentralization is key to reducing attack surfaces. #DataSecurity #Decentralization

Surveillance in 1984 vs. Today

In 1984, Big Brother monitors every citizen. Sound familiar? With mass data collection today, we’re under constant surveillance, from location tracking to digital footprints. How are we managing this risk? #DataPrivacy #Surveillance

I read Animal Farm and 1984 back when I was in School.
I'm embarking on reading them both again and was thinking to do a 30 day interactive posts after to explore how they mirror today's privacy, security and societal issues.

I know there are lots of resources for this, but as a Documentationist at heart, I'd like to add my thoughts to the mix and make a central hub for others. Mainly to document my process, but I hope this can be of use to others.

Evolve Bank & Trust #Cybersecurity Incident is a perfect example of why more companies must put #CyberSecurity and #RiskManagement at the forefront and high on the budget. It highlights the need for vigorous #RiskAssessents.

The sad state of Dev work. If everyone is using AI, will dev jobs one day be done by AI and no longer have a need humans?

I guess I'm fully moving trashing #ubuntu
now. I try to keep in the loop but..

Starting with Ubuntu 22.04, all new releases of #firefox are only available to Ubuntu users through the snap package.

I was doing an update and got the popup. #PopOS install ... Go!

Did you ever wonder about USB cables and what you're paying for?
A Look Inside Apple's $130 USB-C Cable
Apple's new Thunderbolt 4 USB-C cable costs a staggering $130, more than ten times the price of a generic USB-C cable. But what's the difference between Thunderbolt and USB-C? Adam is joined by electrical engineer Zach Radding to examine Lumafield's CT scans of Apple's cable as well as three non-Thunderbolt USB-C cables to understand the engineering and components that make up these cables. This video is part of a sponsored series with Lumafield.

#Windows #Microsoft are back to the old Steve Ballmer days ha? Smells like an Anti-competition/Antitrust move to me...

Microsoft is blocking users right to choose their own browsers via a Windows driver. How shady is that?
New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser
Microsoft is now using a Windows driver to prevent users from changing the configured Windows 10 and Windows 11 default browser through software or by manually modifying the Registry.

Really great article on #Cardinality. I had to deal with this issue all the time while I was in the Observability space. I had to write up an internal company page for Engineers, this does a great job and an be shared.

This is why your ISP advertises in Mbps (Megabit) and not MBps (Megabyte). It makes it seem like you are getting faster speeds.

1 GB (GigaByte) is calculated as:
8000 megabits (mb)
1000 Megabytes (MB)
