This has to be a #DOGE Easter Egg.

#IRS “improperly” [accidentally-on-purpose] disclosed #confidential #immigrant tax data to #DHS
The #tax agency only recently discovered the “mistake” & is working with other federal agencies on a response.

The Internal Revenue Service improperly shared confidential tax information of thousands of individuals with #immigration enforcement officials, acc/to 3 people familiar with the situation, appearing to breach a #legal #firewall intended to protect taxpayer data.
The erroneous disclosure was only recently discovered, the people said. The #IRS is working with officials from #Treasury, #DOJ & #DHS on the #Trump admin’s response.

I bought a copy of "The Book of PF" from @pitrh

It's the best and most comprehensive resource about the marvelous PF firewall that I've ever seen, and I've been using PF since the early days.

Amazing work!

It's available here on No Starch Press: https://nostarch.com/book-of-pf-4th-edition

I also recently wrote a practical guide on PF (https://blog.hofstede.it/pf-firewall-on-freebsd-a-practical-guide/) for anyone who wants to get started :-)

New blog post: PF Firewall on FreeBSD - A Practical Guide

After years of running PF across multiple FreeBSD servers, I've written up the patterns that work: macros, tables, brute-force protection, NAT for jails, and dual-stack filtering.

Covers everything from basic concepts to production configs, plus a sidebar on authpf for bastion hosts.

If you're running FreeBSD and want a firewall that's elegant, powerful, and actually understandable, PF is worth your time.

DigiD MAG NIET IN AMERIKAANSE HANDEN VALLEN
De Amerikaanse techgigant Kyndryl wil de Nederlandse IT-dienstverlener Solvinity overnemen. Dat roept fundamentele vragen op over onze digitale autonomie. Solvinity beheert immers de infrastructuur achter #DigiD, het systeem waarmee burgers zich digitaal bij allerlei Nederlandse overheidsinstanties, waaronder de Belastingdienst en ook verzekeraars en zorg- en dienstverleners kunnen identificeren. DigiD is wettelijk aangemerkt als een dienst die van vitaal belang is voor onze samenleving.

Kyndryl heeft zich bij het Bureau Toetsing Investering (BTI) van het ministerie van EZK gemeld en BTI moet nu toetsen of die overname door de beugel kan. De vraag is of deze toetsing überhaupt plaatsvindt, maar daarover doet BTI geen mededelingen. Over de inhoud van een eventueel genomen toetsingsbesluit kunnen burgers niets te weten komen.
Daarom heeft een coalitie van experts en belangenbehartigers, te weten @marleenstikker Stikker, wim voermans, Esther van Egerschot, Maxim Februari, Joris Luyendijk, Felienne Hermans, Sander Schimmelpenninck, @bert_hubert, Karin Spaink, Kees Verhoeven, Jelle Postma, Caroline Nevejan, Reijer Passchier, ikzelf, stichting Privacy First en de stichting #Firewall, op maandag 12 januari een brandbrief naar BTI gestuurd. Daarin dringen wij met spoed aan op informatie over het toetsingsproces, zodat wij als belanghebbende burgers bij dat proces betrokken kunnen worden.

Prominenten komen in actie tegen Amerikaanse overname van DigiD-leverancier

Een groep wetenschappers, opiniemakers en organisaties eist duidelijkheid over de Amerikaanse overname van Solvinity, het bedrijf achter DigiD. Economische Zaken onderzoekt of de nationale veiligheid hierbij in het geding is, maar wil er niets over zeggen. Juridisch vuurwerk dreigt.

@kkarhan
> I'd not trust any "one time purchase" cloud storage because that model is unsustainable by virtue of recurring costs!

You may not trust it but you haven't I believe looked into this case. In which case your judgement is premature.

I won't argue against your intuition or gut feel for this, which I accept as understandable. Nor that I know that you are wrong.

Having understood the arguments for this, I believe it needs testing because it is a thing worth having.

@happyborg @dalai @jwildeboer most of these providers claim that they can recoup the cost with new purchases and shrinking costs for storage over time, which makes this truly a #PyramidScheme.

  • OFC they also throtthe users and don't expect everyone to max out their purchased storage quota instantly.

  • But I'm not just comparing against short-term filehosters but also in terms of #backups consider years, if not decades of uptime to be necessary to be useful.

Also mind you this ain't like #TeamViewer where the cost of infrastructure is negligible (just some "Rendrevous-Server" to exchange status info, IP addresses and facilitate "Hole Pubching" through #NAT & #Firewall which in theory doesn't reuire mich compute and bandwith to function.

  • We're talking Gigabytes if not Terabytes per User in storage and traffic.

  • And since this system isn't like some #ColdStorage like a #tape, this needs to be #HDDs that constantly spin and draw power.

Dear Fediverse, thank you for being a safe haven from AI slop.

This morning, I checked out Pinterest for the first time in forever and saw an image purporting to be a LEGO set that was obviously AI generated - yuck!

Then on Reddit's popular page there was a video compilation of people saving children from terrible falls = AI slop.

YouTube's homepage: a short video showing a child and her dog covered in mud = AI slop.

What was I thinking? I should visit #Lemmy and #PeerTube instead...
