You can also put authentication in front of cloudflare argo tunnels, so you can securely expose internally hosted applications to the internet. A zero trust or BeyondCorp model is usally way easier than VPNs etc. It is a really nice alternative to hosting Buzzfeed SSO or Pomerium too.

I can't agree with this more. Vegetarian ones taste pretty much the same as cheap meat ones. In the UK there used to be Linda McCartney frankfurters, Holland and Barret now sell their own brand ones which are seemingly the same. If you want real meat ones Big Apple Hot Dogs or Turner and George are legit, but it's expensive in comparison as the meat is sourced properly and they are not full of binding agent, sulphites or E numbers.

This is really great advice. Chef was doing this years ago with test kitchen and inspec (and serverspec). Most community cookbooks came with extensive test suites, and in turn made it easy to encourage people to write tests for cookbooks in house. It seems theres a real lack of testing in opensource Ansible playbooks a lot of the time, and a lot of times when I see it used in organizations.

+1 for using hadolint! I have been using it for ages, and I highly recommend it. I also sometimes write some Goss tests, and even run Trivy at the final stages of the container build and delete them once done in the same layer. It takes about 10 seconds or so longer to build the container, but its baked in and helps you catch issues before pushing the container.

This directly references the public archive team effort, not evidence of a the hack. The comment and “story” that is circulating seems like it’s just taking the public archive team effort and adding some sort of falsehoods around a hack where they were also pulling data via admin functionality. I can’t find any other information about the admin hack apart from this potentially false story.

Your post just links to the list of public Parler posts that were scraped from the website. Not evidence of a hack.

This post seems fake. There was a group of people archiving the public content of parler using this docker container https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/parler-grab and archiving it here https://tracker.archiveteam.org/parler/.

I can't validate anything else in this twitter post. The administrator accounts part all seems fake, unless anyone has found the rest of the content or has a better source?
