So the article you posted is the newest in a series of articles about this.  The one you posted being the 4th in the series.  I haven’t read the one you posted yet, but I have read the first two.  I’ll read the 3rd and 4th tomorrow.  The first two were really good and extremely interesting.  The fact we have even gotten to where we are now is impressive, but will we ever get to a point where the benefits outweigh the cost?  I don’t know but it’s a super exciting field.

Damn memcached.  Mirai was more fun.

Very interesting researching Mirai further.  Had never heard of it before.

ALSO I've been using this loading jQuery plugin a lot recently.  Easiest one I have ever come across.

It was pretty insane at the time.  Here's a really fascinating article that uncovers the details about the Mirai authors.  It's written by Brian Krebs, a security writer who was one of the initial targets of Mirai.  He did some amazing investigative work uncovering it.

Obviously I'm gonna get advice from other sources, but figured I would post here first.

I'm probably gonna go to Def Con this August in Vegas for the first time.  Anyone been?  What was it like?  Tips/Tricks?

Obviously I won't have any SPV wallets on my phone, I'll have a burner phone too.  I've been looking at getting a smaller "travel laptop" outside of my XPS 15, this may be the first great event for it.

Thoughts?

Uncovered a potential race condition that would have occurred if we would have kept a deployment as is.  First time in a while that I have encountered that at work, so was kind of exciting.

Not nearly as exciting as xlookup but I am basically an expert in Rust and Kubernetes now.
