Robust, yet compact umbrella? by bulwark in c/buyitforlife@slrpnk.net

I live in an area with strong winds and I'm happy with Knirps, they can be found in both NA and EU.

More expensive than "regular" umbrellas, but they are built to last and are compact to boot.

Hand crafted bot accounts and community targeted ads, what's the story? (infosec.pub)

During the last two days it seems we have been "bombarded" with advertisement bots.

I found it curious, the advertisements are correctly targeted to sysadmins and security professionals. Meanwhile they have somewhat believable biographies (even if they are a little on the nose), suggesting hand crafted accounts.

Something they all have in common is their instance (discuss.tchncs.de) and that they have a "bachelors degree in computer science".

This is not the first time I've seen adbots on Lemmy, but it's the first time I've seen them on infosec.

Does anyone have any insight into the world of adbots they could share? I find myself increasingly curious in what goes on behind the curtains.

What are You Working on Wednesday by bulwark in c/cybersecurity@infosec.pub

Trying to catch up on documentation, I've been implementing a couple of services during the past few weeks and need to write it all down before I forget.

I do this for every service I implement as part of my backup strategy, it tends to be easier to recover from a disaster when you have reproducible steps to follow.

Crosspost of an ongoing thread over at !android@lemdro.id

Some interesting discussions on the trade-off between security and being able to use your aging Android for a little while longer.

I think everyone that selfhost their RSS-feeds have at one point or another thought "now what?".

I have 3 recommendations that might help get you started:

feedspot is a great place to start to just discover what's out there.
GitHub releases can be followed as RSS (atom) feeds. This is a great way to keep up with changelogs for services that you selfhost. For example, here is the RSS/Atom feed for Jellyfin: link
Do you listen to podcasts? These can usually be found as RSS-feeds and is a great way to get your daily dose of news on your morning commute.
