Economies & societies (nationstates) are #systems. As such, they naturally avoid single points of control, because they're also single points of failure [SPOC/ #SPOF]. That means it only takes 1 error for the whole system to crash, 1 well placed attack or blackmail, etc. #EvidenceBasedGovernance

@bohwaz agreed,
#spof my love...

@bert_hubert : nog enkele "puntjes":

• Elke medewerker die op een cloud- in plaats van een locaal account moet inloggen, wordt een SPOF (Single Point Of Failure) voor informatiebeveiliging (voorbeeld: https://www.security.nl/posting/859906/Speculatie+over+Politie-hack#posting860679).

• Microsoft's Authenticator app beschermt niet tegen steeds meer phishingsites ("evil proxies"): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-entra-azure-ad-blog/all-your-creds-are-belong-to-us/ba-p/855124

• SOC's (Security Operations Centres) kunnen bij het vuilnis en je bent afhankelijk van de cloudprovider voor jouw logs (https://www.security.nl/posting/862564/Microsoft+verliest+door+bug+weken+aan+beveiligingslogs+van+klanten).

First up is this lecture by Mike Menzel who led the "System Engineering" efforts of the James Webb Telescope. #jwst

Infosec and CS in general loves to focus on failures, but I think we should focus more on successes. And the JWST is a extremely impressive success.

In this lecture he gives a overview of how they made it a success, even with so many things that could go wrong.

I mean the JWST had 344 "single points of failure"!? And yet it worked, perfectly, above expectation even.

Just go watch it, but do it when you have time to digest it, it's long.

It's currently at 845 views and 20 , which is criminally low for content this great. Let's try make it trend shall we?

Newman. #SPOF

@kahianyaaa En fait, ce serait une panne de CloudFlare (mais Discord resterait accessible depuis un navigateur Web).

Affaire à suivre. Mais encore une fois : (pas) merci le #SPoF !

@bortzmeyer vu que c'est (encore) un coup de #SPOF, ça peut se rajouter

@DaniEhm @hacks4pancakes

Like #journalists who are, slowly, migrating over here to #web3, governments need a longer and longer cycle to go through the approval and getting the correct #intern with management support and backing to empower said #intern is the key. I.T.'s a culture thing and iF it's not a turnkey solution a lot of government stuff just doesn't bother, imo.

Solutions for exist for clients that can side post the same to both networks exist which will help make the transition but even THAT requires #management buy in just do even do THAT so... I.T.'s an independent #leadership & #vision gap right now.

Helping management understand why this is important ( #SPOF™ #SinglePointOfFailure™ , #OligarchManipulationPlatform, #MLTL, etc ) requires them to have an understanding the fall of centralized one stop choke point platforms like #Meta #Instagram #WhatsApp #DelistedTWTR etc by taking back the Machine Learning Manipulation Timelines™ #MLMTL™ and get back to a chronological non-ML-TL #CNMLTL™.

The #fediverse is about to hit 11 million users soon. Most social media presence just redirects people to their web site anyways.

Oddly a Non-ML-TL use to be Twitter as an option.

Just my 2¢.

@jippi @WonderingDane @hekla @jeppe @maiathecyberwitch Ville det give mening at have et ekstra relay kørende, så relay.expressional.social ikke bliver et #spof? Jeg sætter gerne noget op også, hvis det hjælper på stabilieten.
