Edit: just to reassure the more anxious amongst us, I mean ‘woke’ in the maga sense of anything-i-don’t-like-is-woke. Not actually woke.
Actually woke computer nerds observe proper security protocols ffs.

951·2 days agoValadon’s company constantly scans public code repositories at GitHub and elsewhere for exposed secrets, automatically alerting the offending accounts of any apparent sensitive data exposures. Valadon said he reached out because the owner in this case wasn’t responding and the information exposed was highly sensitive.
But wait
Valadon said the exposed CISA credentials represent a textbook example of poor security hygiene, noting that the commit logs in the offending GitHub account show that the CISA administrator disabled the default setting in GitHub that blocks users from publishing SSH keys or other secrets in public code repositories.
“Passwords stored in plain text in a csv, backups in git, explicit commands to disable GitHub secrets detection feature,” Valadon wrote in an email. “I honestly believed that it was all fake before analyzing the content deeper. This is indeed the worst leak that I’ve witnessed in my career. It is obviously an individual’s mistake, but I believe that it might reveal internal practices.”
One of the exposed files, titled “importantAWStokens,” included the administrative credentials to three Amazon AWS GovCloud servers.
This is shameful incompetence. Just head-rolling abysmal incompetence. These are the people they hired, for all you 1337 hax0rz currently looking.

No shit?
Solar needs a LOT of land, works only during the day. Less effective the further north/south you get from the equator.
Guess what - we already take up a lot of land. Put some solar panels up there ffs. And geothermal’s a thing just fyi.
Wave power generation only works along coastlines or out at sea.
Damn you’re full of useful information.
Nuclear plants can be built just about anywhere. And newer designs are extremely safe. Canada’s CanDu reactors are practically instructable.
Instructable? Cool. That’s a thing nuclear designs should be.
A proper solution is a baseline of nuclear with wind, solar, hydro being built where possible.
We actually agree on that but your nuclear blathering takes too long. You got a 10’ x 10’ reactor for Hudson Bay then kudos, NOW can we get renewables set up OH AND a distribution network for our friends too far north or south to benefit from 12 hours of sun a day like in Norway o wait













I was gonna go with banning all UK regulators.
