Everybody is talking about secret keys today. When I worked for a vendor of hardware security vaults used to store bank PINs, the master key was split over multiple smart cards, each held by a different senior executive. The modules themselves had fat RAM disks, case intrusion switches, and light sensors on their motherboard. Attempting to move or open one would wipe the ram drive.

Therefore it is vitally important to get the smartcard back *before* firing a senior executive.

Otherwise your hardware vendor may have to fly an engineer to your country. One who is comfortable using an angle grinder, knows exactly where to cut, and is patient enough not to make too many sparks.

I’ve just had a look at the code to refresh my memory - it does use it :)

tl;dr

b) an approved deviation to our usual KGC to test a wrap/unwrap was introduced as these keys were meant for export for this instance

c) a flaw in the code resulted in the second pair of keys being created onboard which were weaker

d) these second pair of weaker keys were used by mistake to create the csr (because the key labels were similar) and signed by our root

In meinem Umfeld sind irgendwie gerade alle am Rand ihrer Kräfte. Niemand hat Kapazitäten über, Überforderung ist überall Thema. Ja klar, wir hatten immer viel zu tun. Aber aktuell hat es eine neue Qualität erreicht. Als hätten wir alle Besuch von den Grauen Männern aus Michael Endes Momo bekommen.
Und vielleicht ist das näher an der Realität, als mir lieb ist.

I shared a link from NPR Tiny Desk but there was no image preview or video embed. After investigating this I learned that when you do that, each instance picks up the link and individually retrieves the link preview nearly simultaneously. For gargantuan sites like YT or Reddit, this is a trivial amount of traffic and not a problem, but for smaller sites like NPR this results in a sort of botnet DDOS attack on the site’s servers. More here. Another example here . For that reason, NPR has blocked Fediverse servers like Mastodon.

I have experienced this on my personal server as well (DDOS), but at the time didn’t know why, exactly.

This isn’t the end of the world, but certainly is not great and hurts engagement with the content. Is there a solution for this? Perhaps using some sort of webtorrent service like PeerTube where they just fetch the information from another fediverse server instead of the source server? Maybe fetching embeds client-side? At least that would stagger the requests.
