@alice@lgbtqia.space counting? no, as a mathematician I can only count 0, 1, and more than one. But I can recognize and differentiate patterns, such as noticing that the heart lock and heart key don't show up in the sharpie hearts, and that the sharpie triple heart didn't show up as a tattoo 🙃 which makes me wonder if there's a story. I'm curious, if there is a story and you're open to sharing, but either way, it's a lovely tattoo and thanks for sharing your new art 💕

@b0rk@social.jvns.ca @aredridel@kolektiva.social I've used JawsDB as a MariaDB service via Heroku that manages hosting, backups, and scaling for my SQL MariaDB. That's been relatively frictionless, at reasonable prices. In comparison to the AWS EC2/lightsail instances I manage with sqlite DBs, it's overall cheaper AND handles backups for me (and probably scales better, but my traffic is very low)

Replying to @badsamurai@infosec.exchange
@badsamurai@infosec.exchange @InfoSecSherpa@infosec.exchange not a whisper! It's a disappointing product underinvestment on the scale of AWS being far behind the curve in providing capabilities like IAM Policy Analyzer (that actually works reliably as security engineers expect it to) I think the tech industry is ripe for AI companies to invest in guided harnesses, frameworks, libraries, or infrastructure scaffolding patterns to show opinionated, effective, and secure paradigms for leveraging agents that operate across assets from code to data and infrastructure and operations — starting with something like Cedar but for agent authz.

@Viss @dangoodin years ago there was a vulnerability in which credentials (OAuth tokens IIRC) were exposed in plaintext in every API message sent from a Slack API to another SaaS API I've seen similar patterns in other situations, and I see confused deputy issues regularly (and I imagine increasingly frequently with agentic attack surfaces) Seems like a ripe landscape to take advantage of privesc "OpenClaw" is a good name because I imagine it scuttling sideways to move laterally between allll the things (with a *cough* paring knife, of course)

Replying to on beige.party
@kimlockhartga@beige.party @alice@lgbtqia.space ^ that is what makes this accurate: "Reviewing an application is lower effort than trying to fix the damage from an attack." Moderators have to review hundreds of applications to prevent a single attack. But because the damage of accumulated attacks is both long-lasting and affects audiences beyond a single direct target, reviewing remains a lower effort investment Preventing attacks is also ethically worthwhile, adding ethos to logos and pathos! Never let meritocracy trolls reduce us to only using logos and rational arguments as persuasive tools
