New book review is up! This time, I reviewed Octavia Butler's novel 'Parable of the Sower' (which I'd describe as an optimistic dystopia).

In these trying times, Parable of the Sower is a inspiring dose of persistence and community that we all need.

MOLO WRITES · Review: Parable of the SowerParable of the Sower by Octavia Butler (1993) I’ve been meaning to read Parable of the Sower for about a decade — I’m ashamed to admit that I didn’t know this book even existed un…

My Lovely Peeps:

I read this at least once a year & it *never* fails to #encourage & inspire me.

It is so good whether you're feeling small in your own self, or in the difference you're trying to make in the world.

If you’re losing #hope, do at least a little more before giving up. 🙏

You always have power. ⚡

Never forget small actions matter. 💛

Make yourself a wee republic of unconquered spirit. 💪

Hey #internet #cloud #web #infrastructure #persistence is there any #p2p or publicly supported content-addressable storage (#cas) solution? (Other than #IPFS, which I am aware of.)
The problem is that I eventually would want a (few) small binaries to be available "in perpetuity", i.e. not some specific content hosting service. The idea being that if that binary-exact file performs an important function, I'd like it to be hard to become unavailable or disappear.

Have you read @xtinadlr 's blog post from last month? Because this month's blog post from @arielkroon is kind of a companion piece.

Note from Ariel: I hope I am not too naive or blasé in tone here; the last thing I want to do is offend anyone with what I've written. Let me know what you think in the comments - should I dial it back?

It’s a serious question, not really a rhetorical one. I wrote this article to see if I could come up with an answer; I’m

Akamai researchers discovered a new privilege escalation technique affecting Active Directory (AD) environments that leverages the DHCP administrators group. In cases where the DHCP server role is installed on a Domain Controller (DC), this could enable them to gain domain admin privileges. The technique is based on abuse of legitimate features and doesn’t rely on any vulnerability. Therefore, a fix for it doesn’t exist. No CVE ID. This EoP technique could also be used to create a stealthy domain persistence mechanism. 🔗 akamai.com/blog/security-resea
