EKS vs ECS vs Fargate: Choosing AWS Container Compute

"Should we use EKS?" is one of the most over-answered-with-yes questions in AWS. Kubernetes is These are different choices people conflate: Orchestrator: ECS or EKS (Kubernetes)? Compute mode: EC2 (you manage nodes) or Fargate (serverless, AWS manages nodes)? You pick one from each. "Fargate" isn't an alternative to EKS, you can run EKS on Fargate or ECS on Fargate. Amazon ECS is AWS's own orchestrator. It's simpler, deeply integrated, and has no control-plane Choose ECS when: You want to run co

NotebookLM Short Video Overviews Remain English-Only: What Businesses Can Use Instead

NotebookLM's Short Video Overviews currently support English only, according to Google's product documentation. The feature can turn notebook sources into approximately 60-second vertical videos, but it is not the multilingual video-localization option. Businesses planning to create content in multiple languages should instead look at NotebookLM's Explainer Video Overviews, which Google lists as supporting a broad range of languages. The distinction matters because the output format affects how

O prompt de AppSec que eu criei achou 1 gap em 174 rotas.

Pessoal, eu quase abri uma issue com uma lista. O modelo tinha devolvido XSS, CORS, CSP, um SVG suspeito. Eu sentia que tinha trabalhado. Aí parei e perguntei a pergunta chata: disto aqui, o que eu mandaria pra um mantenedor sem vergonha? A conta virou quando eu parei de pedir "audita meu código" e passei a escrever o contrato antes de abrir o repo. Padrão externo, invariante falsificável, arquivo:linha ou não é finding, denominador em toda afirmação, sem PoC, sem tráfego em ambiente alheio. Iss

Facebook temp email en revisiones de riesgo

Cuando una cola de soporte o un sistema antifraude marca una cuenta por usar email temporal para Facebook, la tentacion es aplicar una regla dura y seguir con lo siguiente. En produccion eso casi nunca sale tan limpio. El problema no es solo el correo en si, sino la mezcla de contexto: que intento hacer la cuenta, que otras senales habia, y si el equipo puede explicar la decision despues sin adivinar. Ese detalle importa bastante cuando hay guardia, tickets o apelaciones cruzadas. He visto equip

The Security Fix That Would Have Silently Broken My Feature

I recently shipped Mermaid diagram support to Forem, the open source platform that powers DEV. Fenced mermaid code blocks now render as actual diagrams instead of plain highlighted source. Which means this renders, right here, on this post: flowchart TD A[CodeQL flags innerHTML] --> B[Add DOMPurify] B --> C{Measure the output} C -->|assumed| D[Ship it] C -->|actually| E[Labels are gone] E --> F[Find the real bug] The feature itself is not the interesting part.

ChatGPT Ads Arrive in Europe, Starting With the Free Tier

Open ChatGPT in Europe on Monday and, if you’re on the free plan, you may notice something new sitting near the answers: an advertisement. As of 24 August, OpenAI is switching on ChatGPT Ads across 31 European markets — the company’s biggest advertising expansion yet — six months after it began quietly testing the idea in the United States. Free and Go users are in; anyone paying for Plus, Pro or Enterprise is not. Answer first, because the shape of this matters more than the noise. This is the

Sin of Angels, the SOA game from CRIME Digital, is a browser based outlaw motorcycle club strategy board game, built for players hunting for games like the out-of-print Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem board game.
