Happy 90th birthday to Margaret Hamilton, who led the development of the on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo Guidance Computer. Here she is in 1969, standing next to listings of the Apollo guidance software she and her MIT team produced.

There is currently some excellent discussion on the oss-security list about the impact of AI-driven vulnerability research. Russ Allbery's post is well worth a read:

Someone said something about ingesting libc and this is what popped into my head

Thank you @werdahias ❤️

for whoever needs to hear this: you're not alone. i'm not vibecoding any of the software i write. i'm writing it by hand, but i've leveled up my emacs with eglot/lsp. i'm modernizing my stacks and use languages with excellent compilers. i think about how to do more with less. i'm trying to combine the best human-written libraries and modules and assemble them with minimal boilerplate. i enjoy reading your manuals and references. i believe in robust, secure, human-written software.

“Above is a fictional weather forecast for August 18, 2050, broadcast by French television in 2014, intended to warn against the disastrous consequences of global warming.

Below is the weather forecast for June 22, 2026.”

(By @jakubwiech on unmentionable)

This brings out super starkly how has accelerated so much more quickly than we thought even just 12 years ago.

Two photos of weather forecasts, showing maps of France, above one imagined in 2014 of a 2050 forecast of temperatures of high 30s, occasional 40-42, overall more orange; below actual forecast yesterday showing majority red and over 40s across France.

@juliank fill the aero press, and wait for the g forces of an aileron roll to do the trick!

@juliank Poor pinkie

@disaster2life Hahaha, been there when young, and then owned a glorious 24 ports 100M switch that made unbearable noise in the bedroom

@olasd On dirait que le mainteneur upstream encourage à utiliser des exporteurs dédiés plutôt que de rajouter des scripts au dépôt, par exemple pour wireguard :

https://github.com/prometheus-community/node-exporter-textfile-collector-scripts/issues/124

I think that settles it.

@olasd Par contre un truc sur lequel je doute c'est que par défaut le serveur écoute sur toutes les interfaces et c'est pas top niveau sécurité

Je ne sais pas si il y a une bonne pratique à ce niveau, peut être avec debconf, pour éviter les accès indésirables et demander aux utilisateurices de faire attention

Peut-être écouter sur localhost par défaut.

@olasd Ah, je ne connaissais pas. Upstream n'a pas l'air super réactif concernant les nouveaux scripts et j'ai besoin de créer un utilisateur et des règles apparmor pour limiter les droits au minimum.

L'avantage du serveur contre les tâches cron c'est aussi de pouvoir changer la fréquence de rafraîchissement directement en modifiant le polling time dans Prometheus

C'est surtout le premier point qui risque de me faire continuer je pense

@olasd @zorume @fanny Je m'en suis fait faire chez Audika pour les bruits des gens dans les transports en commun. 70€ en boutique. J'ai pris le modèle "piscine" car il n'a pas de canal pour entendre les voix humaines (filtre), par contre pas certifié pour bruits dangereux. Prise d'empreinte sur place, arrive au bout d'un mois.
