@tonyshowoff let's step back here, what site did you run?

You didn’t know this?

@scottalanmiller kpop is like all other pop. Hits and misses. Mostly misses that are few week wonders of popularity.

FFS already.

All of you just need to stop. This is nothing that @donaldlandru needs to do.

This is not his database.

He has no credentials to AWS.

He has no credentials to the database with access beyond read only.

His company has zero liability or issues.

They should have their legal team in on this meeting in the morning.

Because this accusation is complete and utter bullshit.

I did not realize duckduckgo.com had ads.

How would you know what what IP dresses were available if you weren't using a DHCP server and you were manually entering the IP address and such?

They are supplied to you by whomever you bought them from. There is no situation where there isn't someone providing them to you.

Unless he was talking about the LAN side.

In that case it is the Network Engineer who decides the scope of the LAN and chooses an appropriate sized CIDR and private IP address to use.

What Database type was this? an RDS or hosted inside a server?

This client uses AWS hosted database and found this over the weekend.

I guess another question would also be how do you handle scrubbing of identifying data such as IPs , emails, or hostnames? Can your privately highlight any fields that should be changed?

First, try to write code that doesn't need scrubbing. Create functions that take parameters you define either interactively or that you can set manually in an easy and quick way.

If you can't and just have to hardcode in private data, both GitHub and GitLab allow private repos. I use both just the same now.

Except he wants to make them public for others to use also.

But still good advice to try and break things out to parameters and functions.

@DustinB3403 said in Github for code storage:

You could of course use a paid account with Github and have private repositories

I think this changed a while back so that you can create private repos on GH using a free account.

January 2019, after Microsoft purchased them.

You have to handle this outside of any public repo. Because the entire point of a repo is making all of the commit history available.

What I do is make a copy of whatever script I want to publish and then redact things.

I've let things slip before and had to nuke an entire project to remove any history.

Github also has unlimited free repos since January.
