schestowitz                                        <p>It’s a new year, and an especially great time to reflect on the security of your robots. After all, those interested in breaching it are probably doing the same. In previous articles, we discussed ROS security by detailing practical steps for securing your robots on Ubuntu and the challenges the community faces. In this blog post, I’ll give you some strategies, tips and open-source tools you can Jan 17 08:29

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Jan 17 08:31
schestowitz                                        <p>Under normal conditions, the machine plots row after row of little squares. A video camera points at the plotter as it works and the video feed streams through a website. And this is where things get interesting. If someone visits the website and watches the stream, the pen plotter becomes nervous about being observed. It will then start to make mistakes, like drawing scribbles instead of squares. Once the Jan 17 08:31
schestowitzvisitor leaves the website and the machine is unobserved once again, it will return to drawing perfect rows of squares.</p>Jan 17 08:31

schestowitzAccessibility is meant to be a positive-sounding word, not exclusion. Many in the buzzwords 'industry' encourage the use of positive language, but  accessibility can be a mine field because of false equivalence involving an already-marginalised group.Jan 17 11:10

schestowitzLinux DevOps is the practice of “using Linux-based systems and tools to build, deploy, and manage applications in a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) environment,” explains Luke Reynolds.Jan 17 15:13
schestowitzIf you’re looking to transition into DevOps, either from system administration or some other role, this article describes several tools and technologies to learn. For example, Reynolds says, “DevOps practitioners should be comfortable with automating processes. This means scripting out manual processes, setting up CI/CD pipelines, and streamlining task execution.”Jan 17 15:13
schestowitzFamiliarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices and monitoring and observing processes is also important, says Reynolds.Jan 17 15:13
