Cyber security pros missing out on pay raises compared to other tech fields in c/blueteamsec@infosec.pub
[–] jerry@infosec.pub 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly. I’ve worked in the security field for a long long time and have come to realize it’s viewed by most companies as a utility like power and water and trash pick up. If it’s not working, people notice and get quite angry, and if it is working, they get mad at how much it costs.

Anonymous access to infosec.pub is disabled temporarily in c/infosecpub@infosec.pub
[–] jerry@infosec.pub 0 points 1 week ago

I think the original implementation of that setting disabled public access AND disabled federation, however it appears the ability to disable federation was subsequently split into a different setting. (I have private mode turned on and we are still communicating across instances, so I know federation is still working). I am not sure that is what you were referring to, though...

Go to the site configuration page in the admin section, then look for the checkbox labelled "private instance".

Scrapers are getting so bad that the lemmy containers are falling over, so I've disabled anonymous access to allow legit users to continue using the service. I will work on improving filtering so I can reenable anonymous access. Apologies for the inconvenience.

sorry about that. They should be fixed now, and hopefully certbot renews them properly next time.

Thanks. I am interested in hearing from the practitioners what they would like their CISO to know/be/do to be a better CISO

Fair warning about vote manipulation (infosec.pub)
 

I have no idea why this is a thing, but it’s come to my attention that there are several accounts here that are engaging in vote manipulation. This is fair warning that if it continues, I’ll be suspending the accounts involved.

Introducing old.infosec.pub (infosec.pub)
 

Hi all. As requested, I just added the mlmym interface to infosec.pub. It approximates the old style reddit interface.

So far, it has some.... quirks. For example, as far as I can tell, you cannot post with an "undetermined" language.

Upgrade complete. Infosec.pub downtime/upgrade (infosec.pub)

Hi all. Lemmy 0.19.9 released today and it has some fixes I want to get in place sooner rather than later. I will be installing the upgrade in about an hour. The downtime should be minimal, but it’s also possible it goes horribly wrong and I have to run a recovery.

Edit: the upgrade is complete. It was quite painless.

infosec.pub downtime - December 14 (infosec.pub)
 

The following instances will be offline briefly on Saturday, December 14 from 9am ET / 2pm UTC for approxmately 10 minutes: infosec.exchange infosec.town infosec.pub pixel.infosec.exchange books.infosec.exchange matrix/element.infosec.exchange relay.infosec.exchange meetup.infosec.exchange video.infosec.exchange infosec.press infosec.place fedia.io fedia.social elk,.infosec.exchange infosec.space convo.casa

The servers supporting these instances require a reboot. The Dell servers these instances run on take a very long time to boot, so I am estimating 10 minutes of downtime. It could be more, could be less.

We use live patches to minimize reboots needed for patching, however Ubuntu only provides livepatch support for a year, which is how long most of these systems have been running for.

Hi all. This community was created for a spambot (tuxbot) but it appears to have some following. Is anyone interested in moderating the community?
