I’m not quite sure how that was effectively affected ; we still have hard clients for those at work and they were still working. Minus Visio for which, thanks costs restrictions, we have only in the online version and that was ded. So we’re Copilot, power apps, forms…

Well the top affected service was mail so hardly an offline service ;)

Mind that “free” doesn’t quite exists here; companies would need to administrer those (not so offline) solutions. And it’s unlikely that all small business will suddently hire IT guys for that. So what’s the alternative? Back to small unmaintained servers under the office desk configured by the owner’s cousin and never maintained? In these times it’s going to be a shit-show given how more intense vulnerabilities or miss configurations are exploited… From my point of vue there’s no good solution here.

Yup. Looking at you UPS that requires sending a code to my outlook mail to change a surprise delivery parameters…

I catched our LG tvs red handed today after setting up pihole… now they sit in their own vlan. Eventually I’ll look into patching them completely but at least for now they won’t be able to expose our devices.

Useful precedent for when they will stuff votes maybe?

Holly Molly that’s even worse

IIRC the fuel burned by those things is like the bottom of the barrel and is significantly worse for particles and stuff compared to more refined fuel used for car or trains for example

Dude must not like food ratings and GMO transparency mentions I guess…

Eventually that leaves the load to the source event if it’s differed. And the load would still grow along the growth of the fediverse. So this would likely be pushing the issue to tomorrow. Signing content checksum isn’t exactly like reinventing a wheel, it’s something done in many contexts. And it removes the load from the source entirely.

Yeah there must be some trust indeed of the og instance. A scoring system could help with that.

Add metadata with a checksum of the og one with signature and let each client check that up.

Food food supply chain isn’t covered? Isn’t it under « important entities »?

As in what?

Erh we have the NIS2 directive… requirements are skyyyyyy high for critical infrastructure which is surprisingly a lot of industries. Among other things vulnerability management is a topic companies subject to NIS2 must cover. Not saying that it cannot happen to have outdated crap connected somewhere but the exposure is getting fast smaller and smaller.
