[anheliotrope]

It's always "funny" to remember that software development as field often operates on the implicit and completely unsupported assumption that security bugs are fixed faster than they are introduced, adjusting for security bug severity.

This assumption is baked into security policies that are enforced at the organizational level regardless of whether they are locally good ideas or not. So you have all sorts of software updating basically automatically and this is supposedly proof that you deserve that SOC2 certification.

Different companies have different incentives. There are two main incentives:

Limiting legal liability

Improving security outcomes for users

Most companies have an overwhelming proportion of the first incentive.

This would be closer to OK if people were more honest about it, but even within a company they often start developing The Emperor's New Clothes types of behaviour.

---

I also suspect that security has generally been a convenient scapegoat to justify annoying, intrusive and outright abusive auto-updating practices in consumer software. "Nevermind when we introduced that critical security bug and just update every day for us, alright??"

Product managers almost always want every user to be on the latest version, for many reasons of varying coherence. For example, it enables A/B testing (provided your software doesn't just silently hotpatch it without your consent anyway).

---

I bring this up because (1) I felt like it, (2) there are a lot of not-so-well-supported assumptions in this field, which are mainly propagated for unrelated reasons. Companies will try to select assumptions that suit them.

Yes, if someone does software development right, the software should converge towards being more secure as it gets more updates. But the reality is that libraries and applications are heavily heterogenous -- they have different risk profiles, different development practices, different development velocities, and different tooling. The correct policy is more complicated and contextual.

Corporate incentives taint the field epistemologically. There's a general desire to confuse what is good for the corporation with what is good for users with what is good for the field.

The way this happens isn't by proposing obviously insane practices, but by taking things that sound maybe-reasonable and artificially amplifying confidence levels. There are aspects of the distortion that are obvious and aspects of the distortion that are most subtle. If you're on the inside and never talked to weird FOSS people, it's easy to find it normal.

One of the eternal joys and frustrations of being a software developer is trying to have effective knowledge about software development. And generally a pre-requisite to that is not believing false things.

For all the bullshit that goes on in the field, I feel _good_ about being able to form my own opinions. The situation, roughly speaking, is not rosy, but learning to derive some enjoyment from countering harmful and incorrect beliefs is a good adaptation. If everyone with a clue becomes miserable and frustrated then computing is doomed. So my first duty is to myself -- to talk about such things without being miserable. I tend to do a pretty okay job at that.

#simblrgratitudeday

Hiii ! I somehow believed that simblr gratitude day was on the 23rd of December (instead of the 20th 🥲), so I’m late to the party. BUT!

I really want to shoutout the simblrs that make me smile daily. ❤️

Simblr can be such a happy place. I absolutely love seeing everyone’s sims grow up, the numerous plot twists that leave me genuinely stunned, the well-thought-out storylines, the cozy posts, the amazing builds, and the beautiful CAS posts.

I love the diversity of interests in this community, and the creative joy that people showcase. Playing the sims can sometime feel lonely, but simblr allows this game to feel more alive trough the community.

Simblr makes me smile every day and I’m so happy to see other people’s enjoyment of this franchise (from the sims 1 to ts4).

I love you all! I can’t wait to see what all your sims get up to in 2024 hahaha ❤️❤️❤️

15 questions for 15 mutuals

thank you very much for tagging me!! sorry i didn’t get around to this sooner 🙈

@sofiims @uglynormie @hiddenspriings @cupidia @obscurus-noctem @drawing-way-outside-the-lines @agnelid @descendantdragfi @satellite-sims @sim4areason @mainlyjustthesims @pleaseputnamehere @sim-songs @simolemons @theageofsims @its-adrienpastel

i loved reading all your answers.

my answers below:

Are you named after anyone? i was named after a place that was named after a person 

When was the last time you cried? earlier this week 💀 the reason: i was trying to write some goth family backstory, trying to write from cassandra’s perspective, and her life made me really sad. not sure if these ideas will end up turning into story posts or not. 

Do you have kids? no ❤

Do you use sarcasm a lot? a little bit. i’m more of a dry humor kind of person, not so much sarcastic lol

What sports do you play/have you played? i’ve played a variety of sports but never stuck with any for very long. i can’t say i enjoy sports in general. i think it’d be more fun if i had a partner or family or group of friends who were very into it. i’m such a couch potato lol but i do go to the gym 3x a week, trying to tone up a little bit okay 💅

What’s the first thing you notice about other people? i used to draw/doodle portraits a lot so i notice faces immediately. their noses and eyebrows especially because those are the “framing” features in my opinion. when i used to draw, those were the features i would sketch first.

Scary movies or happy endings? i like both! i grew up watching scary movies so i find it hard for a movie to truly scare me anymore. i do have a fascination with morbid things and i always want to know why this monster/serial killer etc is on the prowl, like WHY? also the creativity and ingenuity behind how a good plot is set up is really interesting to me as a writer/storyteller. so i’m always intrigued by horror movies, thrillers, mysteries etc. i get to be entertained, i get to analyze, and i get to learn.

Any special talents? related to #6, i’m really good at recognizing faces? i didn’t think this was special but my coworker recently told me he is terrible with remembering faces (we work in a big office) and i was a bit surprised. i remember faces much better than names while he is the opposite.

Where were you born? canada, eh

What are your hobbies? daydreaming about fictional ppl and situations 😐

Do you have any pets? sadly no, as a kid i always wished to have cats and dogs but it just never suited our lifestyle and my parents weren’t keen on them. pets like hamsters, birds and fish don’t really interest me. as an adult i can’t commit to the care and maintenance a pet needs so i don’t see myself getting any pets anytime soon.

How tall are you? one time at work they had the nerve to ask me to change a lightbulb. like... me! imagine. i got onto a chair and stood up and still couldn’t reach the ceiling. 😌

Fave subject in school? english and art!

Dream job? i don’t have one but when i was a kid, it used to be an author or an artist.

Eye colour? dark brown

hmm most of my mutuals have already done this. i’ll tag @olomayasims @zoeoe-sims @twinsimming @frostedshore @llamaheart @treason-and-plot @sunlithills @thegloomiestwhim @streetlites @wolfavens @hotpatched @fishduhh @chinsims @polrbearsims @bobnewbie @itssimplythesims @lazysunjade @amuhav @keibea @simbico @bool-prop @cinamun @rebouks

Microsoft Windows Server 2025 General Availability And Price

Introducing Windows Server 2025

With enhanced security, enhanced performance, and cloud agility, Windows Server 2025 is now widely available.

With its current general availability, Windows Server 2025 expands on its goal of providing a high-performance, secure Windows Server platform that can be customized to satisfy the various demands of its clients. Deploying apps in any environment on-premises, hybrid, or cloud will be possible with this release.

Windows Server 2025 features

Advanced multi-layered security

In a time when cybersecurity is critical, Windows Server 2025 stands out with some security capabilities that are intended to protect your infrastructure and data. The following are some essential skills:

The industry standard for identification and authentication, Active Directory (AD), continues to advance with new security features that help strengthen your environment against changing threats. These features include increased scalability, enhanced protocols, encryption, hardening, and additional cryptographic support.

Server message block (SMB) hardening: Windows Server 2025 has SMB over QUIC built in to allow safe online access to file sharing. Additionally, SMB security includes defenses against man-in-the-middle, relay, and spoofing attacks, as well as strengthened firewall defaults and the prevention of brute force assaults.

Unlike standard service accounts, Delegate Managed Service Accounts (dMSA) do not require manual password management because AD handles it automatically. Specific rights can be granted to access domain resources through dMSAs, which lowers security risks and improves service account activity visibility and logging.

Because of these cutting-edge security capabilities, Windows Server 2025 is a reliable and safe platform for your IT infrastructure that you should start assessing right away.

Windows Server 2025 new features

Cloud agility everywhere

A number of cutting-edge hybrid cloud features are introduced in Windows Server 2025 with the goal of improving operational flexibility and connectivity in a variety of settings. The following are important features:

Windows Server 2025 Hotpatching

Hotpatching made possible by Azure Arc: Users who run their entire business in the cloud benefit from built-in contemporary security features like backup and recovery and automatic software updates. It is now implementing some of those features for on-premises users of Windows Server 2025 through a new hotpatching subscription service that is made possible by Azure Arc. Customers will have fewer reboots and less operational disturbance with hotpatching. Hotpatching provides security updates for Azure Arc-enabled Windows Server 2025 Standard or Datacenter that are installed on on-premises, multicloud, virtual, or physical servers. Hotpatching, which is in preview right now, will cost a monthly fee. For Windows Server Datacenter Azure Edition virtual machines, the hotpatching capability is still free.

Easy onboarding for Azure Arc: Windows Server 2025 uses Azure Arc to deliver Azure’s potent capabilities straight to your datacenter. This integration improves operational flexibility and streamlines the onboarding process to Azure’s hybrid features, enabling you to better manage and secure your multicloud and hybrid environments.

Multisite aspects of software-defined networks (SDN): The software-defined network (SDN) multisite features provide unified network policy administration together with native L2 and L3 connection for smooth workload movement across many locations.

Unified network policy administration: This feature makes it simpler to maintain uniform security and performance requirements throughout your hybrid cloud system by enabling centralized management of network policies.

Because of these hybrid cloud features, Windows Server 2025 is a great option for businesses trying to maximize their IT infrastructure and take use of both on-premises and cloud settings.

AI, scale, and performance

The most demanding tasks, such as AI and machine learning, are intended to be handled by Windows Server 2025. These are a few essential skills:

AI, machine learning, and hyper-V: Windows Server 2025 provides a high-performance platform for both conventional applications and sophisticated AI workloads with live migration and high availability. It also has built-in support for GPU partitioning and can process massive data sets across distributed environments.

Performance of NVMe storage: On the same systems, Windows Server 2025 offers up to 60% higher storage IOPs than Windows Server 2022. (Based on Kioxia CM7 SSd and 4K randread with Diskpsd 2.2.)

Areas for Storage Direct and storage flexibility: For decades and even now, Windows Server has supported a variety of storage options, including local, NAS, and SAN. More storage innovation is provided by Windows Server 2025, which now comes with Storage Replica Compression, thinly provisioned Storage Spaces, and Native ReFS deduplication and compression in all editions.

Hyper-V performance and scalability: Azure’s performance and scalability enhancements are introduced in Windows Server 2025. Server 2025 for Windows Virtual machine maximums for Hyper-V:

Each virtual machine can have up to 240 Terabytes of RAM.

Maximum number of virtual processors per virtual machine: 2048 VPs* — (~8.5x before)

Hyper-V, GPU integration, Storage Spaces Direct (software defined storage), software-defined networking, and clustering all get significant improvements with Windows Server 2025. With these enhancements, Windows Server 2025 is a great choice for businesses seeking a virtualization solution and for businesses wishing to use AI and machine learning while still achieving high performance and scalability.

Access to System Center 2025 is now possible

System Center 2025 is delivered alongside Windows Server 2025, allowing you instant access to scalable Windows Server management. As a result, businesses can take full use of the latest capabilities in Windows Server. This version is expected to improve how businesses optimize their infrastructure and virtualized software-defined data centers, intending to improve agility, performance, and security. You may find out more by visiting the System Center 2025 site.

Windows Server 2025 price

Depending on your organization’s size, virtualization needs, and datacenter specifications, you can select between two main editions of Windows Server.

Standard edition

Suggested MSRP: $1,176

Ideal for physical or minimally virtualized environments

Core-based licensing model

Requires Windows Server CAL

Datacenter edition

Suggested MSRP: $6,771

Ideal for highly virtualized datacenters and cloud environments

Core-based licensing model

Requires Windows Server CAL

Windows Server 2025 Pay as you go

In order to accommodate capacity spikes or short-term seasonal demands, Windows Server Standard users who do not have unlimited virtualization can scale up with more virtual machines (VMs).

To transact, connect to Azure Arc.

Increase your agility

Only pay for what you require.
