Here’s another masterpiece by Charity Majors: Why I hate the phrase “breaking down silos”. A teaser in case you can’t decide whether to click the link:
When someone says they are “breaking down silos”, whether in an interview, a panel, or casual conversation, it tells me jack shit about what they actually did.
Enjoy ;)

Later today (Friday, September 24, 2021), Republican auditors release their final report on the found with elections in Maricopa county. Draft copies have circulated online. In this blogpost, I write up my comments on the cybersecurity portions of their draft.

The three main problems are:
In the parts below, I pick apart individual pieces from that document to demonstrate these criticisms. I focus on section 7, the cybersecurity section, and ignore the other parts of the document, where others are more qualified than I to opine.
In short, when corrected, section 7 is nearly empty of any content.
7.5.2.1.1 Software and Patch Management, part 1
They claim Dominion is defective at one of the best-known cyber-security issues: applying patches.
It’s not true. The systems are “air gapped”, disconnected from the typical sort of threat that exploits unpatched systems. The primary Continue reading
In this episode of IPv6 Buzz, we discuss IPv6 network readiness assessments, what they should include, and some helpful ideas for where to start.

Formerly known as the Malware Information Sharing Platform, MISP is a leading open-source threat intelligence platform (TIP) that organizations of all sizes can leverage to store, share, and enrich threat indicators of compromise (IoCs).
The MISP ecosystem primarily comprises two parts: MISP core (or engine) and MISP modules. MISP core is responsible for the main functionality of the platform, while MISP modules were introduced to extend the capability of MISP without changing MISP core components.
Thanks to the simple API interface provided by MISP, many third-party MISP modules have been developed to greatly extend MISP’s capabilities. There are mainly three types of MISP modules: expansion modules, import modules, and export modules. More details on MISP modules can be found on MISP’s GitHub MISP module repository, which includes three modules developed by Lastline (now part of VMware) that integrate MISP with VMware NSX Advanced Threat Analyzer (ATA), as we reported earlier.
Recently VMware’s Threat Analysis Unit (TAU) developed a new expansion module, which replaces the three Lastline modules. The improvements from the new module are twofold: a simplified enrichment process and an augmented enrichment capability.

As we head toward the annual Supercomputing Conference season we wanted to take a moment for a level-set on exascale. …
A Status Check on Global Exascale Ambitions was written by Nicole Hemsoth at The Next Platform.
Air is an absolutely terrible medium with which to move or remove heat from a system, but it sure is a lot easier and cheaper (well, at least in terms of the cost of goods sold) than adding some sort of liquid cooling to a system. …

Juniper Networks has announced a new wired campus fabric solution that uses EVPN VXLAN to create a fabric and ties in to the Juniper Mist Cloud for automation and management. Ed Horley and Drew Conry-Murray describe how it works, how it integrates with Juniper Mist Cloud, and how Juniper positions this offering against other campus options.

This year, we are adapting our signature automation event, AnsibleFest, into a free virtual experience. Seasoned pros and new Ansible enthusiasts alike can find answers and learn more about Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, the platform for building and operating automation at scale and creating an enterprise automation strategy. We are excited to offer a track designed specifically for IT leaders.
Let’s take a closer look at this track for AnsibleFest 2021.
The role of automation for IT leaders has certainly evolved in recent years. Automation that used to be contained to domain-specific, task-bound practices has evolved to encompass full enterprises -- connecting teams and areas that were not connected before. The prospect of beginning an automation practice, or even unifying separate automation efforts, can often seem daunting. No matter where you are on your automation journey, we have a session for you.
Attendees will hear from like-minded companies about their targeted use cases and experiences with automation, sharing how they navigated their digital transformation journeys and lessons learned. We are also excited to be joined by several analysts who will share their insights and perspectives.
If you are experienced with the Ansible Automation Continue reading
Over the course of this summer, I had the incredible opportunity to join the Workers Developer Productivity team and help improve the developer experience of Workers. Today, I’ll talk about my project to implement the OAuth 2.0 login protocol for Wrangler, the Workers command line interface (CLI).
Wrangler needs to be authorized in order to carry out its job. API tokens are one way to authorize Wrangler, but they do not provide the best user experience as the user needs to manually copy and paste their tokens. This is where the OAuth 2.0 protocol comes into play.
Previously, the wrangler login command used API tokens to authenticate Wrangler. However, managing API tokens can sometimes be cumbersome, since you need to go to the Cloudflare dashboard to create or modify a token. By using OAuth 2.0, we can allow users to directly choose permissions or scopes from Wrangler. OAuth 2.0 helps simplify the login process while making it more secure.
OAuth 2.0 is an industry-standard protocol for allowing users to authorize applications without having to share a password. In order to understand this protocol, we need to define some Continue reading
There may be many reasons as to why the Wi-Fi at your house does not work. Weakened Wi-Fi signals could be a result of any physical obstruction or it can also be caused by dead spots. This is the reason as to why the Wi-Fi at your home does not work well. But what can we do to fix this problem? Is this even a problem? Yes definitely it is a problem. Weakened Wi-Fi means nothing but slow internet connectivity which means that you might not be able to join your online class on time, might miss the meeting, might not be able to send in the email to your boss or simply just experience a pause at life. In the rowing times people almost across the globe are highly dependent on Wi-Fi and internet connectivity. Having a slow internet can defiantly become a headache for many of us. The solution can be simple: a mesh router for Wi-Fi or full home Wi-Fi is the most ideal solution

One of my subscribers has to build a small data center fabric that’s just a tad too big for two switch design.
For my datacenter I would need two 48 ports 10GBASE-T switches and two 48 port 10/25G fibber switches. So I was watching the Small Fabrics and Lower-Speed Interfaces part of Physical Fabric Design to make up my mind. There you talk about the possibility to do a leaf and spine with 4 switches and connect servers to the spine.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s the diagram of what I had in mind:
