Cybersecurity sees everything

We should mean almost, digitally. With serious considerations to best practices, widely acceptable principles including that of, directly and indirectly related, applicable laws and, if any, for the sake of thoughtful and sensible transparency. Almost everything, in this case is about, as nations and industries are already taking it as an initiative to protect entities such as people, enterprises, assets, properties including but not limited to information, which is the sole subject of information security specialists but it's reality is more complicated than arguing on which security can cover which area. Technology practitioners should appreciate it. Those who goes beyond a few specializations could realized it and make an effective position paramount to a cybersecurity responsibility. And the size of that responsibility may mean breaking and delegating it with various roles, with those who are effective and prudent in their jobs.

Cloudflare and Github Pages for advertising, income generation with Google AdSense's ads.txt

Considering a familiarity with Cloudflare DNS records and configuration, the issue that most of us encounter with ads.txt can be resolved with Github Pages.

This is particularly applicable for the root or apex domain, where ads.txt shall be attached directly, and which doesn't take any subdomain at all including the usual www that we type in our internet browser.

Some browsers automatically use, or point to, www even when you only type the root domain. Majority of popular browsers appeared to be consistent with such a simple but important mechanism especially in the world of both ads and making a profit from getting them displayed in your domain regardless if you are using the root domain or a subdomain for your website.

With blogger.com's Settings and Monetization, upon enabling ads.txt, its content will be displayed along, like "subdomain\ads.txt", as you check through any browser if it's indeed showing the required content.

Simply follow the complete instructions here:

https://docs.github.com/en/pages.

Find the DNS A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) records and configure them to your Cloudflare DNS or any registrar you're currently using--it's where you bought your domain name and let it stayed there.

If you want to have them right away since you are here, here they are:

For A records--

185.199.108.153,

185.199.109.153,

185.199.110.153,

185.199.111.153,

For AAAA records--

2606:50c0:8000::153,

2606:50c0:8001::153,

2606:50c0:8002::153,

2606:50c0:8003::153.

The IP addresses above completes your Github Pages serving as a website and texts files after applying your initial settings. It should be easy to follow as you initiate your custom domain configuration for your Github Pages under your chosen repository's "Settings" and "Pages" sections.

Jobs we observed in a system performance

They are made either any of the following- - Tech job, - Business job, - Nut job, or - Enterprise job. What's yours? Can you do it better from your existing drive? Whatever you do, your output should facilitate not just your organization's goal but a little more than what you originally planned. Leaders usually kept them in the mind, so subtle only them knows it, but with some useful and delicate strategies employed people really are doing a good job, and working to improve them, too. That's the beginning why corporate social responsibility, or even the consequential environmental, social and governance initiatives can be a potent move to do something, if pertinent or weighty is even the right word. That doesn't need an ostentatious resources but the effect is meaningful for stakeholders, everyone we meant.

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all...

How to save from Microsoft 365 or Teams and learn the basics of the solution from our first license and transaction

 Subscription and license fees for cloud services is not always appealing to small businesses. For big businesses, we are on a spending spree because we simply can, even if a license if not being used purposely and productively. With small businesses, no matter the need for Microsoft 365, we won't even try it. We did try but stopped and never subscribed back again. We consider the cost to be very high not just because of the service or product's license cost only. If accumulated for years compared to simply buying physical media, which is still the best bet. This, however, is going away. For some markets, it is not available anymore. How can a business get Microsoft 365 without breaking the planned budget allocation just for this service? There are options available from Microsoft 365 website. Pick the business, not family, personal or enterprise, which we may want to consider as well. With the cost the only consideration, any of this may not be a good choice. But then some fea...
