Been practicing doing my own servers, published a test site and 24 hours later, root was compromised. Rolled back to the backup before I made it public and now I have a security checklist.

This is a risk that needs block-letter indemnification or correction. It's not that devops made ya lazy. I've been doing devops since before they coined the term, and it's a constant effort to remind people that it doesn't magically make things safe, but keeping it safe is still the way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Tablaste@linux.community [S] 4 points 2 years ago Ah not to discount devops, I mean that in a good way. Devops made me lazy in that for the past decade, I focus on just everything inside the code base. I literally push code into a magic black box that then triggers a rube goldberg of events. Servers get instanced. Configs just get magically set up. It's beautiful. Just years of smart people who make it so easy that I never have to think about it. Since I can't pay my devops team to come to my house, I get to figure it all out! permalink fedilink source parent
