Introducing Certificate Transparency Monitoring
Today we’re launching Certificate Transparency Monitoring (my summer project as an intern!) to help customers spot malicious certificates. If you opt into CT Monitoring, we’ll send you an email whenever a certificate is issued for one of your domains. We crawl all public logs to find these certificates quickly. CT Monitoring is available now in public beta and can be enabled in the Crypto Tab of the Cloudflare dashboard.
Background
Most web browsers include a lock icon in the address bar. This icon is actually a button — if you’re a security advocate or a compulsive clicker (I’m both), you’ve probably clicked it before! Here’s what happens when you do just that in Google Chrome:
This seems like good news. The Cloudflare blog has presented a valid certificate, your data is private, and everything is secure. But what does this actually mean?
Certificates
Your browser is performing some behind-the-scenes work to keep you safe. When you request a website (say, cloudflare.com), the website should present a certificate that proves its identity. This certificate is like a stamp of approval: it says that your connection is secure. In other words, the certificate proves that content was not intercepted or Continue reading
With Rome, AMD Will Build Off Momentum For Naples Epyc Chips
AMD had been down this road before. In 2003, the chip maker launched the “SledgeHammer” Opteron, the first 64-bit X86 server processor with backward compatibility to its 32-bit predecessors that came at a time when much larger rival Intel was still pumping up Itanium as the next-generation architecture – and its only 64-bit option. …

Save the Date: 4th Summit on Community Networks in Africa
The 4th Summit on Community Networks (CNs) in Africa will take place in Dodoma, Tanzania from 28 October to 2 November 2019. The Summit hopes to promote the creation and growth of CNs, increase collaboration between CN operators in the region, and provide an opportunity for them to engage with other stakeholders.
The main activities planned include:
- Training Workshop: 28-29 October
- CN Summit Plenary: 30-31 October
- Site Visit to Kondoa Community Network: 1-2 November
The event is targeted at CN operators, policy makers, researchers, evangelists, sponsors, and related networks such as community radio.
Last year over 100 participants from 20 countries, 13 of them African, gathered in Wild Lubanzi, in one of the deepest rural areas of the Eastern Cape. The 3rd Summit on CNs in Africa was organized by the Internet Society,Zenzeleni Networks NPC, and APC from 2-7 September 2018. For the approximate 40 participants from surrounding communities, the Summit was their first international conference – or conference of any kind. It was exciting to see them absorb everything and feel proud of their neighbors in Mankosi, home of the Zenzeleni project, one of many community networks in Africa.
CNs offer local solutions to the connectivity Continue reading
REST API 2. Basics cheat sheet (Ansible, Bash, Postman, and Python) for POST/DELETE using NetBox and Docker as examples
Hello my friend,
In the previous blogpost, we started the exciting journey in the world of REST API, where you have learned how to collect the information using GET method. Today you will learn how to create the objects using POST method and remove them using DELETE.

Disclaimer
This article is a continuation of the previous one. You should start with that to get the full picture.
What are we going to test?
You will learn how to use two requests
- POST for adding new information
- DELETE for removing the entries
As you might remember, the interaction with the REST API is described by CRUD model, what stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete. In this concept, HTTP POST method represents Create and DELETE represents Delete operaions.
To put the context, Digital Ocean NetBox and Docker are the applications, which we will manage over the REST API.

Docker Release Party Recap
We Celebrated the Launch of Docker Enterprise 3.0 and Docker 19.03 Last Week
Last week, Docker Captain Bret Fisher hosted a 3-day Release Party for Docker 19.03 and Docker Enterprise 3.0. Captains and the Docker team demonstrated some of their favorite new features and answered live audience questions. Here are the highlights (You can check out the full release party here).Docker Desktop Enterprise
To kick things off, Docker Product Manager Ben De St Paer-Gotch shared Docker Desktop Enterprise. Docker Desktop Enterprise ships with the Enterprise Engine and includes a number of features that makes enterprise development easier and more productive. For example, version packs allow developers to switch between Docker Engine versions and Kubernetes versions, all from the desktop.For admins, Docker Desktop Enterprise includes the ability to lock down the settings of Docker Desktop, so developers’ machines stay aligned with corporate requirements. Ben also demonstrated Docker Application Designer, a feature that allows users to create new Docker applications by using a library of templates, making it easier for developers in the enterprise to get updated app templates – or “gold standard” versions like the right environment variable settings, custom code, custom editor settings, Continue reading
