No it would not work. TLS protects against replay attacks by design, the same response (or query) in clear text will not look the same in encrypted traffic

Data comes from the official status page. It may be more a marketing/communication page than an observability page (especially before selling)

The attacker went through the hassle to compromise a very widely used package, but use a non standard port (8000) on their C2... If you plan to do something like that, use 443 at least, many corporate network do not filter this one ;)

Not the OP, but it's pretty useful in my team, we all work on the same environment, with the same system dependencies, with no setup required on development machine (except the need for docker).

In the devcontainer you can run code snippets, use the system shell and access an execution environment close to production if well made.

It also allows to avoid (system) dependency conflicts between different projects you may work on.

You have human managers discussing with their team (instead of human-decided metrics that cannot see the full picture)

I'm on my phone, maybe your site would benefit having sample data available to showcase what it can do?

Search "where is waldo" online. It's a famous book series where you have to find a person on complex setups

OP's main arguments to build their own PKMS are: - cost (feature or maintenance) - migration because it won't exist in the future

But their solution is to depend on directus, which can lead to the exact same issues. To my eyes, they just added an extra step...

Hello Simon,

You mention that

> Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon all have net-zero emission targets which they take very seriously, making them "some of the most significant corporate purchasers of renewable energy in the world". This helps explain why they're taking very real interest in nuclear power.

Nuclear is indeed (more or less) zero-emission, but it's not renewable.

Thank you for the synthesis and link to the original article, it's a good read!
