Centre Party website under attack on Election Day; suspicions point toward Russia

"The election result and its reliability cannot be affected by denial-of-service attacks," said the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-FI).

I really liked this informal community poll and thematic analysis on SLO usage. It does a better job at highlighting the hurdles to adopting them at a Company Who Is Not Google than a lot of "Here's how to do SLOs" pieces that just don't cover it.

If there is ever a "Seeking SLOs" book, this should be the first chapter.

Google's latest #innovation to prevent #outages is an #SRE love letter wrapped in buzzwords and sprinkled with acronyms like #STPA and #Prodverbs 🎩🔍. Apparently, teaching a new method involves rehashing 20 years of "lessons" that somehow didn't prevent past outages 🚨. But hey, who doesn't love a good old-fashioned #reliability #theory seminar when your server's on fire? 🔥🤔

I was laid off on Monday. Going to miss that team fiercely and I wish them all the best!

Anyone looking for a remote infra software eng/ #devops who likes working on platforms? I've most recently worked with #kubernetes, #terraform, #golang, and #puppet , in a #hybrid environment between #onprem and #cloud #infrastructure , spanning 4 continents. I've built out and maintained clusters throughout their lifecycles, architected and built out tooling and automation, and integrated with service-owning teams, all to ship reliable and secure products to market.

Why I Read Code, Not Just Docs.

Many ask what books I read to know so much. Truth? I read a lot.

The Key is to read Iterative on usage:
📚 I read & test language updates to stay ahead.
📚 I read JavaDocs from methods to understand my tools.
📚 I dive into source code to see reality.

Marketing slides, old books, outdated websites, foreign benchmarks, YouTube videos, consultants, or sales pitches, code doesn't tell you everything.

That's how I spot:
❌ Frameworks abusing ThreadLocals, reflection, synchronised.
❌ "GraalVM-ready" still needing class loading & build on runtime.
❌ Cloud SDK packed with 300+ dependencies.
❌ Memory leaks, vulnerabilities & hidden bloat.
[...]

AI won't save us, it'll just continue the trend.

Funny on its face but just think about all of the far more serious hacking possibilities, like an air traffic control system saying "cross the runway" instead of "do not cross the runway" or a missile defense system saying "fire" instead of "do not fire" just to take two unrelated items out of my news feed today and mash them up here.
