@[email protected] I upgraded mbin to the latest version yesterday and it seems to have some odd behaviors that I don’t have my head around yet.

I reenabled anonymous access and predictably the site started getting hammered immediately. I blocked a bunch of broad IP ranges that were the biggest sources but I’m sure I’ve probably blocked some legit people.

Thanks

I’ll raise it with the mbin team. My apologies

Thanks for tagging me. That account is banned/suspended now.

I just pulled and applied the latest code. fedia.io was already on v1.8.0, so if the fix was released after that, we should be good to go.

I’m working on it. fediseer is complaining that it can’t communicate with fedia.io so trying to sort that out

A tariff can be helpful if, for example, the Chinese government decides it wants to dominate the world market in widget production and so subsidizes the production of widgets by Chinese counties. This has happened in the past with steel.

But the downside is so much worse. And we experienced it not that long ago. Good read is here: https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2022/march/retaliatory-tariffs-reduced-u-s-states-exports-of-agricultural-commodities/

Basically, the US applied tariffs on a bunch of stuff from a bunch of counties. The stuff we bought produced in those counties or made from things produced in those countries became more expensive. (I remember washing machines becoming substantially more expensive as a result of the tariff since I had to buy one at the time).

But that’s not the end. Those countries applied retaliatory tariffs to stuff the US exports - mainly agricultural goods. Those things are commodities produced by many countries, so a bunch of them simply stopped buying the tariffed US products, and instead started sourcing them from places like Brazil. I’ll leave it an exercise to the reader to figure out whether there’s a link between US tariffs the accelerated destruction of the Amazon rainforest to satisfy sudden new demand for produce.

And here we are years later and while many of those tariffs are gone, the US agricultural industry never recovered much of that lost business.

Thanks for the ping - working on it

yeah, apologies. it seems to know when I am out at dinner. it’s catching up now

I’ve been in the business for about 25 years. I have a hard time recommending people jump in at this point, or at least to understand the market now. While there is constant talk of “unfilled cyber jobs”, the reality is that many people with experience are struggling to find a job in the field.

If you can get in and find a stable spot at a good company, it’s a great career, but those are getting hard to find I fear. Anyhow, please do a bit of reading about the job market for cyber security before making a decision.

Hi all. This problem is fixed as of a few minutes ago

Sadly if you go to the home of that magazine on lemmy.world, your post is not there.

I am seeing the same thing, and I’m not sure. I am trying to narrow down what is going on though

I’m working on it - not exactly sure what is wrong now - there aren’t any logs to indicate what is going on yet.

that’s not so good. this is a different problem - there isn’t a backup like we’ve been seeing. I’ll see if I can tell what is going on

My apologies - I was off doing other things today as I thought this problem had been fixed. Things are almost complete with catching up now and I’ll be working on the problem more tomorrow.

My apologies - I thought I had the problem fixed, but clearly not. It’s working again, and I will get back to fixing the alerting and auto-error correcting tomorrow.
