My go-to tool for this is CFEngine Enterprise + Ansible. CFEngine Enterprise includes a data warehouse component to support reporting/querying, and Ansible is handy for ad-hoc tasks on a smaller scale. With federated reporting[1] your infrastructure can scale to hundreds of thousands of hosts.
Ansible also has a server backend option with AWX (and it’s Red Hat downstream). Although speaking as a user and lover of Ansible, reporting on the data in its database is not a strong suit.
Sure. Reporting with CFEngine is incredibly powerful. Forgive my enthusiasm, my team (at Vertical Sysadmin) developed an ETL pipeline to aggregate data from CFEngine hubs into a "superhub" which later inspired Federated Reporting in CFEngine Enterprise. It's actually incredibly useful. We'd drop into the Postgres database (CFEngine Enterprise uses Postgres under the hood) and use raw SQL to slice and dice the data. We supported tens of thousands of servers across multiple divisions and organizational silos.
I was answering the OP, "I wouldn't even know where to migrate to for managing full VMs in such a nice way(puppetserver/puppetdb/bolt)", and offering a potential solution for managing full VMs.
I don't want to spread negative vibes, but this feels like a phishing test website.
The only real details about the app/product it that it cost 3$ for 250 in-game tokens. It's not even clear how long they last.
I guess it is on purpose, so people just click the app-store button... but the lack of details is astonishing.
The landing page claims "all your data remains locally on your phone, without compromise." but the about pages mentions OpenAI... so it's a wrapper for a custom GPT that gets fed anonymized chats?
Credits do not have an expiration time and depend on your usage; their duration is determined by your activity level. Typically, a question consumes approximately 0.3 credits. For instance, if you ask 3 questions per day, it will total around 30 credits per month. Initially, each user receives a free 50-credit. With normal usage patterns, it takes months before credits are run out. Also, we don't charge for entering new notes; credits are only spend during inference processes. With credit-based usage, you aren't required to pay when inactive, no commitment. The system is cost-effective in terms of usage duration. We operate on a nearly non-profit basis :)
None of your notes are stored on our server; they remain locally stored on your phone. We exclusively offer Apple sign-in to ensure users can conceal their email addresses, maintaining complete anonymity towards our server. However, for inference purposes, some data is transmitted to OpenAI or other language model providers(we will soon offer users the choice between our open-source model and commercial model options). There is no viable method to run a suitable language model on a mobile device; while there have been attempts, none have met the quality standards required for inference. We are actively exploring options to facilitate inference directly on the phone, and we hope to offer this functionality soon.
Lastly, we get your positive vibes, we will update our website as well :)
Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
That would explain the wonky headline: "AVM droht ..." means "AVM is threatened with ..." but could be misread as "AVM threatens ..." ("AVM droht mit ..." or "AVM droht: ..."), especially in a cheap/automated translation.
Appreciate the links. Although one is in German and the other is also in German and seems to be behind a paywall.
As an aside, it is common for news sites to only provide links back to their own earlier articles (even when the connection to the present story is tenuous at best), never to sources or extra information outside of their web property. Unfortunately it is not a weird choice, it's an industry-wide standard practice.
See my sibling comment - you can also click the left button ("Akzeptieren und weiter"), which just is your consent to see advertisement, it's a soft paywall (paying makes ads go away).
This also happens with work-related messengers and calls.
After transitioning to remote work during lockdown, chat&calls suddenly become mandatory to look at ASAP. Now I sometimes get multiple urgend messages while beeing on a surprising call. In the office, these people would see that I'm busy and wait. Now I have to line them up and prioritize them myself..
It took me a while to figure out that a few hours of this process could ruin a full day of productivity + requires much more mental work to regenerate after.
I do have ADHD though - so this is one of my biggest issues even under normal circumstances.
No need for using the term "fake news". Noone posted any news, nor are they fake.
It's not about possible access of classified information, but the now unknown state of the devices and systems.
Physical barriers, like a guarded entry, produce a zone of trust. People are searched for weapons on entries to somewhat guarantee that no weapons are inside. Once the entry is un-guarded, the trust level is 0% and needs to rebuild.
There's a notion being presented that having access to physical offices is somehow tantamount to having access to a SCIF. That is the misinformation/hyperbole/fake news part. If you post on Twitter and your tweet goes viral, it is now news.
Those networks will assuredly have to be rebuilt from the ground up. He's definitely right on a number of things but fueling speculation like this, especially when it's already been acknowledged the SCIFs were not breached, is equally dangerous.
Relying on humans locking their PC in event of a terrorist attack isn't a IT-Security concept.
Security consists of a threat model and many layers of security measures. Many many outer layers have failed here. I wouldn't blame an individual nor a department here. It's one of those events that probably wasn't in the scope. Additionally, roles/security clearance levels etc. still work regardless of the account beeing open to anyone.
Things like Smartcards, Yubikeys, auto-lockscreen could have failed the same way. Maybe a GPO failed, or a windows update broke the auto-lock.... that's why all these many layers exist.
