I’m thinking about getting back in the game. What does everyone thing a CISO should know? What makes a good CISO?

Hi all. It’s Jerry from the interview talking about infosec.exchange. I think it’s important to understand some apparently missing context in the discussions below. I was talking about a hypothetical future where we saw tens/hundreds of millions of active accounts on the fediverse. I don’t believe the current funding model can support that, and I also don’t think the “spin up your own host” model will work for the masses, either.

I host close to two dozen different fediverse services, from lemmy to mastodon to mbin to peertube and lots more, and all that takes some significant hardware to run at larger scales. My objective has been to provide a fast and reliable fediverse experience, and so I’ve focused more on that than on making my servers scream, and so I’ve landed on hosting the fleet on a series of Hetzner Dell servers with 10GB interfaces, and that is not cheap.

I am not sure if the “he” reference is me, but I did ask and people did step up to support the costs of running the instance.

Hey all, Jerry here (from the interview). Happy to answer any questions.

Good to hear. I rather like it, too

Thanks. I’ve updated the post as well

Yes, that’s correct

I have messaged them directly. At least the ones I am aware of. This is a warning to others that I may not be aware of or people who decide to try it in the future.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Apologies. It should be fixed and stay fixed now. Docker gets about 37 updates per week and for some reason that particular container won’t restart on its own, so I’ve created a script to restart it automatically.

I’ve worked in all levels of management, including C-level at a Fortune 500 company, and I can tell you that from the perspective of the C level, the tools are a given. If the employees have complaints about the tools, the perception is that either the mid to lower level management or the employees are not competent and need to be replaced with ones that are able to deliver on the promise of the tools.

(I say this without judgement - most of the time it’s BS, some of the time it’s true)
