[WaybackSave/Archive] Automation can’t fix broken security basics – Help Net Security reveals nothing new: like in many places, automation isn’t the solution for bad processes or bad behaviour. Automation just assists getting things done (even in security), only marginally leading people to getting these things right in addition to done.
Leadership often focuses on broad resilience goals while the day-to-day work that supports them remains inconsistent and underfunded.
This is especially true when the day-to-day activities mainly consists clicking on links and other user-interface elements.
Yes, dark patterns are being used by adversaries, but a lot of day to day user experiences are based on dark patterns.
Improve those experiences by designing better processes amended by better automation, not the other way around.
Oh, and get your foundations right. For example by having processes in place that ease timely patching, even if that requires deployment on fridays.

During a Cloudflare outage¹, I learned about [Wayback/Archive] Wisp.place Documentation | Wisp.place Docs
Decentralized static site hosting on the AT Protocol.
Wisp.place enables you to host static websites directly in your AT Protocol repository. Your Personal Data Server (PDS) holds the cryptographically signed manifest and files as the authoritative source of truth, while hosting services index and serve them with CDN-like performance.
This is the documentation of [Wayback/A] wisp.place by [Wayback/Archive] Ana (@nekomimi.pet) — Bluesky.

From 12ft – Wikipedia:
On July 17, 2025, the News Media Alliance reported that it had taken down the website.
It’s impossible to enjoy the content of online media by paying (for instance because payment systems are not compatible, but also because those media often have region blocks), so this is to longer ladders (and understanding how ladders work):

TL;DR: it failed
Since GL.iNET does not support site-to-site “Peer to Peer” OpenVPN (only “Remote Access” is supported) which is needed to route to/from the networks on both sides of the connection. the below did fail.
Original idea
Below was what I hoped to function.
Some links that should get me started (though my situation is a tad more difficult, see below):

Nog niet gecontroleerd, maar wellicht werkt dit ook voor (fragmenten van) radiouitzendingen?
Edit 20260313: redirect toegevoegd voor SEO, en sectie over redirect-checker.
Uit een draad over het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs die een paar maanden terug enkele dagen na haar boezem vriend en ex-man Gerard Cox overleed¹.
Ionica Smeets schreef over het liedje op Mastodon², maar de link naar de audio van de podcast [Wayback/Archive] Andermans Veren – Beluister Andermans Veren zondag 14 januari 2018 | Podcasts | NPO Radio 5 verdween al snel.
Omdat ik al eerder een probleem had met de audio van [Wayback/Archive] Keihard de Beste – NPO Podcast te downloaden, dook ik in de CDN die de NPO gebruikt.
De archivers hadden er wat problemen mee dus het staat in 2 stukken:
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica ik ga het je proberen uit te leggen. En dan kan jij het vast in veel simpeler bewoording weer terug uitleggen zodat anderen het ook begrijpen. …” – Mastodon
- …
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica hopelijk heb ik je een beetje kunnen helpen met je opmerkingen in…” – Mastodon
- …
- ³
Er waren wat zijstapjes naar onder meer hoe je een goede vraag op het internet moet stellen, dus de draad werd lang (:
Hieronder de volledige tekst, aangevuld met wat gearchiveerde links. Maar eerst twee versies van het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs: opnamen van 1986 en 1988:

Interesting: Buddy (software) – Wikipedia
Buddy (also known as Buddy.Works) is a web-based and self-hosted continuous integration and delivery software for Git developers that can be used to build, test and deploy web sites and applications with code from GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab. It employs Docker containers with pre-installed languages and frameworks for builds, alongside DevOps, monitoring and notification actions.
On my list of things to try in case built-in GitGub and GitLab functionality does not suffice my needs any more.
I wonder how well it runs on ARM architecture.

Besides the August 2025 XKCD infrastructure dependency inspired cartoon on the right, the more recent and great [Wayback/Archive] XCKD: Dependency derivative below is a monumental piece as it combines the recent:
- fiber outage of the Internet Archive
- DoS of Cloudflare by itself
- AWS us-east-1 dependencies outage
- Crowdstrike DoS of Windows machines
- framework-du-jour mentality in the JavaScript world
- many more¹

[Wayback/Archive] Thread by @cyb3rops on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App
If your agent gets flooded – detect the flooding.
If code gets obfuscated – detect the obfuscation.
If ETW gets silenced – detect the silence.
If the EDR gets killed – detect the killing.
If logs get cleared – detect the clearing.
The act of hiding is often more suspicious than what’s being hidden.
It’s like a surveillance camera going black or freezing.
That is the signal.
I’ve been doing this successfully for years.
I detect obfuscated crap all the time.
People ask, “What is it?”
I say, “No fucking clue. Could be:
– a Themida-packed sample with a Microsoft copyright,
– a UPX-packed ELF with a 1-char filename,
– a PowerShell script that looks like static noise, or
– a fake svchost.exe with no Microsoft copyright.”
I don’t need to know what it is.
It’s obviously shady.
That’s enough to detect it – and deal with it.
There’s a Chinese saying that fits perfectly: 欲蓋彌彰
The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes.
