Same. I thought 'Conputer' was quite a smart title in today's AI world

We use it in production. Workloads with unpredictable memory usage (32Mb to 4Gb per process), but we also want to start enough processes to saturate the CPU. Before we configured & enabled swap we were either sitting at low CPU utilisation or OOM

The original report says

> The incorrect state persisted for approximately seven days before detection

However you're saying you've reached out "within a few minutes" ?

Then there's the 3rd option: Neither

Just keep everything in your inbox, find recent things by scrolling down, and anything beyond that is basically inaccessible, since the search is so bad

(I'm in camp archive everything, delete nothing; but see the Neither camp frequently in colleagues)

If you check the manual you might find that you can hook the single inlet pipe up to the hot water tap.

New comment by Titan2189 in "GRC Tool Vanta Forces Insecure CAA Configuration"

Titan2189 — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 11:25:49 +0000

To configure the Vanta Trust Center (a publicly available page listing a client's Certifications and Controls, usually hosted at trust.client.tld), Vanta requires customers to compromise on their DNS CAA configuration.

As their screenshots show, they ask you setup a CNAME from e.g. trust.customer.com to their abc123.cname.vantatrust.com.

However, if you are using CAA [1] on your root domain (to limit which Certificate Authorities are allowed to issue certificates for your domain), they _require_ you to add 4 (FOUR) new CAA records to your root domain. (shown at the bottom of the linked page)

The correct solution would be to simply publish CAA records at the destination that the CNAME is pointing to (abc123.cname.vantatrust.com)

I've brought this up with their support multiple times; but they're refusing to even acknowledge that this is a problem. They're claiming I am the first customer to ever bring this up; and that I should just add the records on my root domain - completely missing that fact that thereby I'm basically undermining what CAA is for.

I would understand it, if this was some random tool, but this specifically is a GRC Tool.

If you are another Vanta customer or have any other idea what I can do to approach this, please let me know. I want to use their tool. It's a good system and helping us out - I'm just refusing to actively downgrade our Security - for our SECURITY TOOL!

Surely there must be something that's missing in translation? This feels like it simply can't be right.

I'm on Windows 11 (25H2 / 26220), and with Chrome (140), Edge (141) and Firefox (142) I wasn't able to find a browser that would show this as revoked.
