Anyone Can Push Updates to the DOGE.gov Website
(www.404media.co)
Probably because it "doesn't" use SQL
Firing the IT people because they cost too much is always a good thing to show you the incompetence.
"Why do we have all these IT people? All the tech works fine!"
* Something breaks *
Why do we have all these IT people? Nothing works!
Bosses when the IT dept is furiously responding to an outage: What do we pay you for?
Bosses when everything is running smoothly: What do we pay you for?
This pretty much proves that the US government is experiencing its worst cybersecurity breach ever.

Musk is proof of that, in and of himself. And it’s not just cyber, it’s national security. We are in grave danger.
“Basically, doge.gov has its codebase, probably through GitHub or something,” the other developer who noticed the insecurity said. “They’re deploying the website on Cloudflare Pages from their codebase, and doge.gov is a custom domain that their pages.dev URL is set to. So rather than having a physical server or even something like Amazon Web Services, they’re deploying using Cloudflare Pages which supports custom domains.”
Elmo's a genius you know
I understand several of those words.
Most websites run off of a server. They're just using a "repeater" (CloudFlare Pages) to serve directly off of their Github or whatever which is sort of top-shelf slapdashery.
Not serious. Not competent.

Still more than Elon himself
Please......show this to The Onion. Let The Onion post some updates.......it's their ultimate wet fantasy.
What did you expect from a department named after a memecoin anyways
The meme came first. Then the coin. Then Elon. It used to be innocent.
Considering elon is also a joke, the history repeats itself
This is so embarassing. It can't be the case that these idiots are actually in control of the united states.
Nah they have people helping them. At any second you could stop and they would have no power. But you continually support their project
Hah?
If you stop allowing them to do it they can't, because they're OLD PEOPLE with severely impeded cognitive ability
You can thank your compatriots for this horror show. Huh. There’s a double entendre there if you’re familiar with the Russian language, or if you’ve read A Clockwork Orange.
There’s a double entendre there if you’re familiar with the Russian language
As a Russian speaker, I don't understand this. Could you elaborate?
“Horrorshow” is the Nadsat word that Alex used in A Clockwork Orange to mean “good”. It’s a bastardized transliteration of хорошо.
It all seems to be rushed and it's all an attack on political opposition. Doing it well isn't important. Like a monkey throwing shit at another monkey, they don't care that they have some shit on their hands, they threw shit at another monkey and that's what counts. Unfortunately the shit throwing monkeys are the president of the USA and the wealthiest person in the world.
To be fair, healthcare.gov had a rocky rollout too. No gaping security holes AFAIK though, so this is a new low.
The agency they turned into DOGE was responsible for fixing healthcare.gov and preventing future bad roll outs. But they fired the actual talent to replace them with Musk's interns.
Remember that if you can see something that obvious, imagine all the quiet changes people are making that aren't being immediately found. Not only the deliberate horseshit from musk and his facsy tots, but other attempts to distort data from traditional bad actors like China and Russia
I'm torn on this, on one hand I know there must be millions of dollars in contracts for pointless reports and a huge amount of government wasteful spending in general.
On the other hand, musk and trump are absolute morons. And they will cut shit just because they don't know what the words mean.
They're not cutting actual waste. Their goal is to cripple the parts of the government that stopped them from doing illegal shit.
Not to mention their unwitting goal of destroying the United States. They’re useful idiots.
Unwitting? No. They are knowingly and intentionally doing this.
The wasteful spending is in defense and ain't nobody looking into that...
Look at the bright side, the Evil Empire is over! America is done. Cooked. The next few years are gonna suck a lot but the deteriorating conditions will finally push Americans into a second revolution.
Sadly, the deteriorating conditions are exactly what some groups want. Those are also the ones who can affect change, either with guns or money.
Whoever dismantles the pre-existing structure will be the one who will have the chance to rebuild it. This is the entire reason they are doing it. Great if you share their vision. Not so much if you don't.
will be the one who will have the chance to rebuild it
Assuming they have any intention of rebuilding it.
Someone needs to turn that site into nothing but goatse stat
Make America Goatse Again
Fucking CyberTruck like fucking pile of shit website. What kills me the most is that the fucking things they're screenshoting, those pages have literal "export to XML" buttons that they could fucking export, save the XML to some shared drive that gets swept, and the put it in some actually secure database.
This whole fucking thing reeks of some fucking weeb ass Roblox hackers whose last project consisted of Lua Script emulating some fucking redstone calculator they wrote in Minecraft. And the export fuction on the thing? It's just one dimension SUM function CSV exports. Literally no other dimenstions of values to add, shit I would be fucking surprised if a single one of the people writing the goddamn have ever heard of OLAP.
And to top it off, we already have a fucking website that does what this fucking place does, but 846 decillion times better. And it doesn't have a fucking Instagram esque reel of Tweets of people taking fucking screenshots of an open database.
I can't wait till the next dumbass gets into the White House and turns this pile of grabage off. Paying these idiots millions to power and run the hardware this pitiful excuse of a website runs on. And all we got for that money is some shit that is about on par as the shit you get from some O'Reilly book called "Building a Government Website Crash Course" with a Bald Eagle dying of bird flu on the cover.
This fucking idiot maybe wants to fucking learn what the hell SQL is.
But the government does not use SQL per ELMO.
I am waiting for this idiot to come up with something like EIQL (Elmo's idiotic query language).
Musk is wrong about literally everything. Must be nice to have enough money to make up for being a fucking moron.
I don't know if there's enough money in the world to make up for that horse's ass. All his purchased government position does, beyond destroying the US government, is broadcast how he's a feckless moron to anyone who isn't just as stupid.
Unfortunately, Musk isn't alone: many US citizens are that stupid.
And as high! haha
Wait . . what?
Maybe it's intentional
I can’t believe people don’t get that. They are trying to delegitimize the parts of our government that help us.
Maybe it's more sinister than that.
It is far more sinister. They are trying to delegitimize them and then replace them with private corporations that they control. It is a long term plan.
Two of the key ultra conservative goals of P25 are to consolidate power of the executive branch and benefit corporate interests by rolling back regulatory oversight. They are doing a great job of their goal.
