What do yall think a CISO of today needs to know/understand?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Thank you so much for your support. It is always good to hear from people that appreciate the podcast and orchid pics. I don’t get a lot of feedback so it’s nice to hear.

Heya, I’m the admin for infosec.pub, along with a bunch of other fediverse instances including infosec.exchange. I’ve been on the fediverse for a long time - infosec.exchange turns 8 next month, for example.

With each event that disenfranchises people (twitter bought by Musk, Reddit API, etc), I’ve seen a big surge in new instances. My observation is that many people get into running multi-user instances without really understanding what it takes, time-wise, emotionally, and financially.

Some of the software, like lemmy, but also kbin, calckey, and others, get pushed into the spotlight before they’re really in a reasonable spot to support the incoming community. Lemmy is relatively well functioning and complete, but only around a core set of use cases, whereas some of the others were just nowhere near ready.

I don’t know of anything on the lemmy roadmap to add account portability.

In any event, I’m here for the long term, though I do have to keep reminding our user base that this service is free to use, but not free to run, and therefore donations are much appreciated though not mandatory.

good luck! I was an amazing day when I got my CISO position. It was an even better day when I left it :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks. I’ve added to my list to fix

ok. I set up threativore and added you as a moderator. I doubt it's as sophisticated as what reddit had to offer. The instructions are here: https://github.com/db0/threativore/blob/main/README_manual.md

OK - old.infosec.pub is now up and running

 

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yes. I will figure out how to get that working

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (11 children)

I will install one today and send you the details

 

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?

 

The upgrade went smoothly and took less time than I expected. Let me know if any problems. And yes, tuxbot is still suspended.

 

Hello everyone. Lemmy 0.19.6 was released today. I am going to apply the update Sunday, November 10 at 2am UTC. Downtime should not be more than one hour.

1
test (infosec.pub)
 

Infosec.pub will be down for maintenance on Monday, July 1 2024, from approximately 10am until 1pm Eastern Time. I will be upgrading to the latest version of Lemmy, which requires an upgrade to postgres.

 

Hello everyone. I will be taking infosec.pub offline for a while today to move the instance to a new, larger server.

 

I am going to be disabling image uploads and image serving, moving to moderated signups, and instituting some extensive block lists on infosec.pub due to the pervasive problems with CSAM attacks on lemmy instances.

No, it’s not happened to any of our instances yet, but I don’t need that headache. And if anyone does, I promise you that I will make it my life’s mission to see that those responsible are convicted and rotting in prison where they belong. ❤️

Edit: h/t to @infosec_jcp for pointing out the problem to me.

 

2FA in lemmy doesn’t work reliably yet. Please don’t enable it or you will almost certainly get locked out.

Note: it makes me sad to post this.

 

Hi all. I am going to implement a block for sh.itjust.works. I am going to need years of therapy from all the nasty crap coming from that instance.
