We're primarily an AWS shop but some Oracle BDR assigned to cover us recently reached out on LinkedIn.

I asked for an incident report and received this terse response:

> There has been no breach of Oracle Cloud. The published credentials are not for the Oracle Cloud. No Oracle Cloud customers experienced a breach or lost any data.

Per article, Oracle has hastily rebranded the breached service as "Oracle Classic", for the sole purpose of being able to claim with a straight face that "Oracle Cloud" was not impacted.

FWIW, that doesn't appear to be a "hasty rebrand" - Oracle has had this distinction for a long time.

The hacker has demonstrated that they have/had write access to URLs under login.us2.oraclecloud.com. It's incredibly disingenuous on Oracle's part to claim that this is not "Oracle Cloud".

That exact statement is quoted in the OP too.

Yeah, they've clearly been given some minimal company line and aren't deviating from it. Not going to win any trust.

Vibe security.

Do you have any affiliation with Elevenlabs?

I do not have any affiliation with Elevenlabs or OpenAI except as a user of their APIs. I'd actually prefer it if OpenAI had a better realtime product than Elevenlabs because it'd be more convenient.

FWIW I have no affiliation with any of these companies but I have a book coming out soon and have been researching AI audiobook tools and Elevenlabs seems to be far and away the consensus for that at least

This was a fun conversation.

I remember calling Clint and Jeremy at DigiCert and asking: "hey we have this cool IP address—what are the odds you guys can issue a certificate for it?"

I'm not sure if they had to dust off some code or process to do it, but they got it done really quickly once the demonstration of control was handled.

The coolest easiest to remember ip address I ever used was mimsy.cs.umd.edu: 128.8.128.8

Was that paired with a battery? Under NEM3 (and reduced net metering rate), it doesn't make sense to install PV in California without a battery.

What do you think is a fair price? (It seems quite reasonable to me.)

Notion was clearly made by people who do not use or understand keyboard shortcuts; you can't even properly select text without using the mouse.

It's been somewhat maddening switching from Confluence.

I have the opposite complaint: you can't even reliably select text without also using the keyboard! Half the time I drag to select, it starts moving a block. Half the time I click to navigate, it starts a selection instead (as if I had not released the mouse from previous click). I need to press the Escape key and try again.

Notion to me is the prime example for "too much JavaScript". Opening a note in a tab take 10 seconds and interrupts me half the time with some random news or a prompt to try some AI feature.

My experience with Notion keyboard use is different. It's not 100% VIM hands-on-keyboard mouse-free but it's getting there. If there was only a "insert after this block" shortcut.

My favorite is to type something then /turnh3 where /turn let's you turn the block into something else.

I’ve gotten out of the habit but I could definitely see how in a set of dependent code reviews one might want to be able to update a sequence of statuses in a matter of minutes to land a bunch of changes back to back to back, plowing through using a CLI or keyboard shortcuts.

I did a system earlier this year with My Generation Energy, coincidentally while I was interviewing for the CPO role at Aurora Solar (where I am now).

Highly recommend MGE if you’re in the Cape Cod area. Not sure how far off Cape they’ll go if not.

Looks like they're based in Hyannis, but the website says they cover Greater Boston, so I'll give them a call.

Thank you for responding!!!

You’re misunderstanding. LE went GA in April 2016 and Cloudflare is talking about ~2 years prior to that (where they used GlobalSign and Comodo, not LE).

I do, feel free to DM on Twitter. Just pull an 18 kW system in a few months ago and it’s been great.

(Full disclosure: I’m in the solar industry, but on the software side. Recently left Cloudflare to join Aurora Solar as CPO.)

DM sent. Much appreciated!
