Announcing the CSAM Scanning Tool, Free for All Cloudflare Customers

Two weeks ago we wrote about Cloudflare's approach to dealing with child sexual abuse material (CSAM). We first began working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), the US-based organization that acts as a clearinghouse for removing this abhorrent content, within months of our public launch in 2010. Over the last nine years, our Trust & Safety team has worked with NCMEC, Interpol, and nearly 60 other public and private agencies around the world to design our program. And we are proud of the work we've done to remove CSAM from the Internet.

The most repugnant cases, in some ways, are the easiest for us to address. While Cloudflare is not able to remove content hosted by others, we will take steps to terminate services to a website when it becomes clear that the site is dedicated to sharing CSAM or if the operators of the website and its host fail to take appropriate steps to take down CSAM content. When we terminate websites, we purge our caches — something that takes effect within seconds globally — and we block the website from ever being able to use Cloudflare's network again.

Meet the app that’s helping causes streamline their outreach

The key to productivity is structure, but many organizations use fragmented systems to reach people. Their donor list may be in one database while their volunteer list is on a separate Google Doc. This wastes too much time that could be spent engaging your audience. If your nonprofit, political campaign, or advocacy group is looking for a holistic solution that puts people at the center, look no further than Nationbuilder. To read this article in full, please click here

From Content Blocking to National Shutdowns: Understanding Internet Disruptions

In March 2019, in a move described in one news report as a “government-imposed Internet shutdown,” the president of Sri Lanka temporarily blocked Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Viber, and other services. In this case, limited access to a class of applications was inaccurately painted as a full-scale Internet shutdown. Unfortunately, this isn’t unusual. Media coverage and general discussion of Internet disruptions often misclassify what happened. The confusion is likely unintentional. Many journalists, as well as the general public, are not well-versed in the various ways Internet access and access to content can be disrupted.

When people can’t get to their favorite social media site, chat app, or video platform, there can be many causes. Maybe there’s a local Internet outage, or access to these sites has been blocked because of a government decree, or a nationwide Internet shutdown has been ordered by the government. Internet disruptions can take several forms, but end users experience the same problem across all of them – an inability to use the Internet to communicate and access content.

If, in the end, the end user experience is the same, why is it important to delineate between the various types of Internet disruptions? Proper delineation can help Continue reading

That’s It for 2019 ;))

Yesterday we ran the last live webinar session for 2019, and all we have to do before locking the virtual office doors and returning to our families is to get the videos back from our editor and publish them. The “this is what we did in 2019” and “this is what we plan to do in 2020” blog posts will have to wait till we come back.

We’ll be (mostly) gone until early January… unless of course you have an urgent support problem. The desperate paperwork ideas like “I need you to sign, stamp, and notarize this legal document written in a language you’ve never seen in your life” will have to survive for a few weeks without our immediate attention (but then they usually don’t disappear on their own).

I hope you’ll be able to do something similar, disconnect from the crazy pace of networking world, forget all the unicorns you’ve been trying to tame during this year, and focus on your loved ones - they need you more than the router sitting in the basement of your building. We would also like to wish you all the best in 2020!

Oh, and Continue reading

Data center operators not keen on green: survey

Most data center operators are not prioritizing power and other "green" issues. While enterprises are making incremental improvements toward energy-efficient initiatives, they're advancing at a very slow rate, according to new research data.Supermicro surveyed more than 5,000 IT professionals for its Data Centers and the Environment report. One of the goals of the annual report is to help IT leaders to lessen the long-term environmental impact of their data center equipment purchases.Those surveyed said total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment (ROI) are their primary measures of success. Less than 15% said that energy efficiency, corporate social responsibility, and environmental impact are key considerations for their facilities. At the same time, 22% of respondents noted that environmental considerations are too expensive to be considered a priority.To read this article in full, please click here

Podcast with Cumulus on Infrastructure-as-a-code in real life.

Hello my friend,

I had an honour to be invited to Cumulus Linux podcast, where we had quite an interesting discussion about the role of network automation and real-life challenges.

The discussion covered the experience we collected in THG (The Hut Group) Hosting during driving the build of the open network data centres implementing the latest achievements of white boxes, disaggregation and (add your marketing buzzword here). And yes, we speak about real-life experience, not the lab tests in Cumulus VX

The whole podcast you can list at the Cumulus Website.

P.S.

If you have further questions or you need help with your networks, I’m happy to assist you, just send me message. Also don’t forget to share the article on your social media, if you like it.

BR,

How to tell if you’re using a bash builtin in Linux

If you’re not sure if you’re running a Linux command or you’re using a bash builtin, don’t stress, it isn’t all that obvious. In fact, you can get very used to commands like cd without realizing that they’re part of your shell, unlike commands like date and whoami that invoke executables (/bin/date and /usr/bin/whoami).Builtins in general are commands that are built into shell interpreters, and bash is especially rich in them, which is a good thing because built-ins by their very nature run a bit faster than commands which have to be loaded into memory when you call them into play.To read this article in full, please click here
