In one of the cases, the Gemini model guessed passwords until it gained access to a protected system.
In the other two cases, the model found credentials in a public repository that allowed it to then access protected systems
wow we gotta be really scared for this super hackerman AGI 😱
If your playbooks don’t include an autoremove, you’re doing it wrong!
Or rather, lessons learned from when the default /boot partition was only like 100 MB.
Classic enshittification of the kernel is kinda impossible while the Benevolent Dictator is around. And as for userland, we’ve already gone through many different enshittification attempts… Red Hat/CentOS, Poetterware, Snaps, etc… and we still survive.
Other than burnout and such, it’s very hard to kill free software that’s actively used by a lot of different enthusiasts.
We don’t usually do it for fun, but I’m sure my teammate who has petitioned deploying a “chaosmonkey”-thingy to our prod clusters would love it 😁
My team made the “mistake” that all new projects need to be built and approved on our dev clusters before we allow them to be deployed to the prod clusters. We’re very explicit that dev is ephemeral, and that everything should be as code, so everything heals itself…
Despite this, whenever we reprovision the dev env, we always get emails from several different people saying that we wiped their prod databases and such. It’s crazy.
I agree, though my biggest headache has been with systemd handling mounts. You have to modify a ton of units to add After and Required to make sure the NFS shares you have in fstab get mounted before starting services that depend on them. And then if the package maintainer updates their unit files, all your changes disappear!
Such a huge headache compared to the classic init.d that mounted everything very early – with just the occasional “boot delayed a couple seconds because your share was offline” or such.
I’ve driven a poorly designed car without many safety features for years, and I’ve never flown through the windshield, ever.
Why does the FBI still have it sitting in an office somewhere? Does the US government usually just save everything related to cases, even long after the subject is dead?
A classic situation… LEO had lots of this information originally (as well as people contributing to it - taking pictures of hotels/Airbnbs/etc), for being able to help pinpointing child abusers… but as usual, they can’t stop moving the goalposts.
