For such a large org, they did not have 2-party review/approval for high risk changes prior to this incident. You’d think there would be at least peer review and approval before a change is implemented.

From the blog post someone else linked, it sounds like they do have this process but it’s just a process it’s not enforced by their control software. So someone has made a change without following the process, and they mention prioritising getting enforcement into their control panel or whatever.

The number of these that their researchers receive it would be impractical.

I mean it’s just eventual that shit like this will happen at that scale. As long as people are involved you really can’t guard fully against it.

That’s why I am not rellying on them for my slefhosting needs

Personally I think they have a much better track record of not making dumb mistakes than I do…

I guess mel isn’t going to use you for their self hosting needs either, then.

And yet, two typos in this sentence alone… I hope you’re more careful about proofreading your configs.

Android keyboard, set up in french and I care less about random comments on Lemmy than in my configs. Also, this kind of typo would results in error, not unsafety

Ah another day, another Cloudflare cockup. It would be nice if the service that insists on MitM’ing a huge chunk of the internet could focus a bit more on stability.
