Tales from the cloud trenches: The Attacker doth persist too much, methinks ✅ |
|
|
Hackers snagged some leaked AWS keys and conjured up a "persistence-as-a-service" scheme. They weaved through API Gateways and Lambda like ghostly threads. Dodging revocation? Easy. They whipped up dynamic IAM users faster than you can say "security breach." Telegram buzzed with ConsoleLogin events—automation winked in the shadows. They fiddled with SSO and MFA settings, stretching session durations to sidestep pesky security controls. A digital tightrope walk, if there ever was one. |

Impromptu disaster recovery |
|
|
K3s reconciler threw a fit. A botched YAML reformat doubled up resources and obliterated the author’s cluster, courtesy of the clumsy hands of language models. It’s a vivid postcard from the island of LLM limitations. Luckily, Hetzner’s system rebuild stepped in to save the day. But it wasn’t painless. A delicate disaster recovery waltz ensued, uncovering Kubernetes' eccentric treatment of persistent volumes. Sometimes, tech quirks are just a too-friendly reminder of all that can go wrong. |

Identifying Hidden Cloud Waste in Your Code |
|
|
Vadim Solovey blows the whistle on our love affair with so-called "efficient" code. It's smoke and mirrors, he insists. Behind the illusion lurk costly inefficiencies.
