While Microsoft has indicated these outages are a mess of its own making, hacktivist group Anonymous Sudan has claimed responsibility for the downtime, and said it did the deed as retaliation for the US government interfering with the internal affairs of the civil war-ravaged African nation.

The potentially-pro-Russian crew stated its claim on its Telegram channel, with messages coinciding with the timing of the first outage. Afterward, the group reportedly said it would again attack Microsoft's services because the company said the problem was technical rather than a cyberattack.

Beginning with Jenkins 2.407, May 30, 2023, Jenkins administrators running a Jenkins weekly release will be warned if they are running Jenkins on an operating system that is within 6 months of its end of life date. The same warning will be visible to Jenkins administrators running a Jenkins long term support (LTS) release with the next LTS baseline after Jenkins 2.401.x, beginning August 23, 2023.

Microsoft kicked off its Build developer conference yesterday, where it unveiled several new features for enterprise customers. The company also announced a preview of Windows 365 Boot, which lets users log directly into their Cloud PCs at startup instead of the local install of Windows 11.

Windows 365 Boot is designed for Windows devices that are shared between multiple people (such as frontline workers and temporary employees). The feature eliminates the need for IT admins to configure Windows PCs for individual users.

“When you power on your device, Windows 365 Boot will take you to your Windows 11 login experience. After login, you will be directly connected to your Windows 365 Cloud PC with no additional steps. This is a great solution for shared devices, where logging in with a unique user identity can take you to your own personal and secure Cloud PC,” Microsoft explained.

Just a recommendation to the mod(s) here, you may want to set the display name for the community to simply "Sysadmin".

While it's a funny true-ism, when searching Lemmy communities for "sysadmin" it's easy to miss "It's always dns" in the results. Make the sidebar just read "It's always dns" instead.

Any opinions on an IM solution to send notifications to?

Something which can show push notifications on my phone would be ideal.

This is for my personal stuff which isn't critical or public. I would like E2EE if for no other reason then why not.

Top options:

  • Matrix
  • XMPP

Middle:

  • Jami (No API?)
  • Zulip (no EE2E)
  • Google Chat (no EE2E?, dealing with Google APIs)

No:

  • Briar (no iOS client)
  • Signal (no API)
  • Session (no API)
  • Whatsapp (API cost)
  • Threema (cost)
  • Wire (bot API in beta, cost?)
  • Telegram (sus)
  • Slack

Two things everyone knows about Kubernetes are: first, that it has won in the critically important container orchestration space, and second, that its complexity is both a barrier to adoption and a common cause of errors.

Flowgger is a fast, simple and lightweight data collector written in Rust.

Alternative to Fluentd and Logstash.

Since modern buildings often have critical things like lighting, HVAC, and water or even security and access control integrated into one automation system, is there any sort of redundancy in the control devices? If the central controller were to crash, would the mechanical and electrical systems in the building grind to a halt or is there usually a backup? If there is, is it done by having two separate controller units that can operate independently other or through some other way?
