Gitlab-CI Runner an Docker angebunden
by Clemens John 17 Mar '18

17 Mar '18

Hallo Devs und Admins, ich habe den Gitlab-CI-Runner auf runner02.ffnw.de an Docker angebunden. Alle Jobs, die auf dem Runner-System ausgeführt werden sollen müssen in Zukunft das "docker"-Tag zugewiesen bekommen. Dies betrifft alle Repos, die derzeit das CI-System nutzen (z.B. Puppet). Wird in der gitlab-ci.yml kein Docker-Image definiert, wird der Job standardmäßig auf einem Debian-Stable Docker Image ausgeführt. Ein Beispiel wie das ganze genutzt werden kann siehe hier: https://git.ffnw.de/netmon-sc/api-server/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml Welche Verbesserung bringt die Änderung? Beim Ausführen von Jobs sind wir in Zukunft nicht mehr darauf angewiesen, welche Software auf dem System vorinstalliert ist sondern können einfach ein Docker-Image definieren auf dem der Job laufen soll und nach belieben software nachinstallieren ohne die Basis-VM runner02.ffnw.de zuzumüllen. Fragen gerne per Mail. Ansonsten planen Stefan und ich auch am 06.04. rüber nach Oldenburg zu fahren sodass wir uns auch gerne direkt vor Ort austauschen können. Viele Grüße Clemens

As Congress debates whether to attach this bill to another must-pass spending bill, we need your help. Tell your representative to reject the CLOUD Act. The CLOUD Act (S. 2383 and H.R. 4943) would grant foreign and American police unreasonable access to data during cross-border investigations. The CLOUD Act could let police outside the United States grab data stored in the United States, and wiretap phone calls passing through the United States, while ignoring U.S. privacy laws. Foreign police could request data on non-U.S. persons not living in the United States, sending those requests directly to U.S. companies. During this data collection, the targets of these foreign police inevitably will be communicating with Americans. If you happen to be communicating with one of these foreign targets, then foreign police can often share your communications with the U.S. government. Then the U.S. government can use these communications against you, without a warrant, and without notifying them.

Read more: https://act.eff.org/action/stop-the-cloud-act * Stop SESTA/FOSTA: Don't Let Congress Censor the Internet The Internet we know today is possible because of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 protects online platforms from liability for some types of speech by their users. Without Section 230, social media would not exist in its current form, and neither would the plethora of nonprofit and community-based online groups that serve as essential outlets for free expression and knowledge sharing. If Congress undermined Section 230's essential protections by passing The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA, H.R. 1865), many online platforms would be forced to place substantial restrictions on their users' speech, censoring a lot of people in the process. The version of FOSTA that's passed the House, and is expected to come up for a Senate vote in the next few days, is a Frankenstein combination of an earlier version of FOSTA and a bill called the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA). While the name might sound appealing, FOSTA is not needed to fight online sex trafficking. Existing Criminal law already allows federal prosecutors to go after online platforms that knowingly play a role in sex trafficking. It would scare online platforms into censoring their users. Websites run by nonprofits or community groups, which have limited resources to police user content, would face the most risk. Some of the discussions most likely to be censored could be those by and about victims of sex trafficking. Censorship is not the solution. If you care about preserving the Internet as a place where everyone can gather, learn, and share ideas, it's time to call your senators.

Moin, was ist das mittlerweile für ein Chaos mit den resolv.conf-Einträgen? Eigentlich sollten doch per Puppet nun fra-a und ber-a verteilt werden. Beide Hosts selbst nutzen nun OpenDNS. Woanders ist dns.as250.net eingetragen und db01 hatte nur Erfurt drin. Grüße bjo

Don't let Congress censor you
by Elliot Harmon | EFF Activism Team 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Dear Supporter of Digital Freedom, We all rely on online communities to work, socialize, and learn. From the largest social media sites to the smallest message board, online platforms are central to our right to assemble and speak out. FOSTA would put us at risk of being shut out of those spaces. This dangerous bill has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Senate is expected to vote on it any day. We urge you take a moment to call your Senators and tell them not to censor the Internet. From its name, the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act might sound noble, but it would do nothing to stop sex traffickers. What it would do is force online platforms to police their users' speech more forcefully than ever before, silencing legitimate voices in the process. How would one bill do so much damage to communities online? Simple: it would scare online platforms into censoring their users. With the risk of increased liability, platforms would have little choice but to err on the side of censorship. EFF has been opposed to a similar bill called the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA). Lawmakers have now combined the worst elements of SESTA and FOSTA into a monster of a bill that would be a disaster for Internet intermediaries, marginalized communities, and even trafficking victims themselves. If you don't want Congress to ruin the online communities we all rely on, please take a moment to call your senators and urge them to oppose FOSTA.
