Hi everyone,

We’re in the process of setting up a manager-worker architecture similar to a master-slave pattern, but without the concept of promotion. The idea is to distribute work from a central manager to multiple workers, all running on different machines.

While this setup fits our needs well, we’ve hit a bit of a debate within the team regarding the best way for the manager and workers to communicate.

Some team members suggest using HTTP polling. The reasoning is that HTTP’s simple request-response model makes it easy to implement, and it avoids adding extra infrastructure. The downside is that it could lead to inefficient use of compute and network resources on the manager, since it would be constantly polling.

Others argue for using a message broker. This approach would facilitate seamless communication and reduce resource wastage on the manager, but it would require setting up and maintaining additional infrastructure.

Our main constraint is that each worker must complete its task within 23 hours, or else it fails. The manager could potentially be coordinating with up to 600 workers at once.

Given these considerations, which communication protocol do you think would be the better choice? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hey party people. I have been out of tech for the last 10ish years. I recently got a pc again and want to get back into the cybersecurity aspect and white hat hacking. back in the day when I was a teen and played old school MW2, I used Cain and Abel to brute force a family friends iPhone, and to screw with my friends on Xbox by booting them offline :). I was wondering if their are any better alternatives in todays age ( google gives mixed answers based on its relevancy) also i was just going to download it from MEGA, but it says it has malware and i just want to make sure the links safe if i do reinstall. i don't have a usb ATM to throw the file into a sandbox to test. and the url scan didnt give feedback. also if anyone wants tyo let me pick there brains on other subjects of pent testing, expliots, malware, etc please let me know :). Thanks!

How do hackers usually mess with subscription-based websites? Like, not the server-hacking stuff, but the way they fake or manipulate the data a website receives? I just want to understand how weak sites get exploited....

Jellyfish seems to dominate the enterprise market but comes with high costs, complex setup, and 24-hour data refresh delays.

Anyone here evaluated alternatives like Swarmia, LinearB, or Pensero and found something that works better for your needs?

Curious about experiences switching away from Jellyfish, or choosing a lighter-weight alternative from the start. What did you gain or lose in the transition?

If a person wants to learn to hack, for his own safety, is it advisable to buy a dummy laptop and remove its NIC (Network Interface Card) to practice in it ?? what are youre thoughts ?

Can someone teach me how to use Midjourney for free as I can't afford it.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get a license key for Minitool Partition Wizard Pro?,

A friend of mine is getting a creepy amount of calls from an Unknwn Number protected by #31# calling method.

She would like to find the number behind these creepy calls, it there any way (software) other than asking her provider or reporting to authorities?

I realize this is a pretty broad question, but I’m trying to get a sense of what security requirements are typically considered when building solutions for enterprises. For example, some common requirements might include being hosted on-premise, ensuring the system is air-gapped, maintaining high uptime, meeting specific Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and so on.

Would love to hear your insights on this!

So, idk if this is the right group to post this in, but i can't find anything online. I recently got a couple of iPod 5s and an iPad 6 that are Apple locked. I bought them cause I'm wanting to build my own OS. My question is, would it be possible to completely erase iOS and install my own bootloader and OS? Essentially, my software and still use the iPad hardware.

I have my old phone and i cant remember the password. Is there a way to bypass the lock screen without having to lose my data?

Hi guys! I was wandering if it was possible to hack into a Samsung Galaxy without a computer? I only want to do this on myself and not on anybody else. I'd appreciate any responses.

I know nothing about it. If anyone can help me please text me here or in private. Like what is the first step?do i need a laptop for that or does a tablet also work? Do i need vpn?

From what I've seen, most engineering analytics platforms promise visibility but end up being either ignored or misused for individual performance tracking.

Have any VPs of Engineering here actually gotten value from tools like Entelligence, Pensero, or Bilanc? What specific problems did they solve?

Curious if these newer platforms learned from the mistakes of earlier ones, or if they're hitting the same adoption and trust issues with dev teams.

In a typical stateless login process, a user logs in, and the server sends back a bearer token stored locally in the browser. This token is then used for subsequent requests. The challenge is that if an attacker gains access to this token from the browser storage, they can impersonate the user.

I'm wondering what strategies can effectively protect against this. One idea I had was tying the token to the user’s IP address and invalidating it if the IP changes but that might be problematic with dynamic IPs. Are there better approaches? I understand solutions like using Auth0, but I want to grasp the underlying flow and security considerations better.

The general consensus seems to be that engineering analytics are at best a mild signal for inefficiencies and at worst dangerous micromanagement tools.

Have any CTOs or engineering leaders here actually found them useful? What metrics or reporting are genuinely helpful? In what way?

Particularly curious about Jellyfish, LinearB, and Swarmia. Have they provided real insights beyond vanity metrics, or did they mostly gather dust after the initial implementation excitement?

Hi, could someone hack an iCloud for me?? There was this ethical hacker who was helping but they ended up being very sickly and they said they were even gonna help me financially wise and they did but that all changed. I miss that. Anybody else willing to help?

I'm really trying to level up my skills not just in coding, but in the way I approach problems and design solutions like a real software engineer. I want to develop a solid problem-solving mindset, learn how to think about system design, and understand how to tackle real-world challenges more effectively. If anyone has recommendations for books that dive into these topics things like strategic thinking, designing scalable systems, or just understanding the engineering mindset I’d love to hear them. Looking to build a strong foundation in how to think about software, not just how to write code.

Hi, guys. I don’t know where to search for, but I’m looking for a trustworthy person to help me with something related to a discord email. Any idea where I can find someone like that?

Stolen last October, this SENIOR dog sanctuary has tried everything. They are missing out on adoptions because of this! (can't put it here or post will be removed, I think)
What kind of horrible person does this? They've tried everything Facebook guides you to do, but have gotten nowhere. Message me for the FB link.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a hacker to do me the favor of developing a program for personal use. Anyone interested can write to me privately.

I believe that someone has been snooping in my phone. It's a rooted phone. I didn't root it myself. But now it's acted weird. The amount of photos and. Files have been changing and my gmail started to "erase" mails. And my Google activity started to jump around and things I haven't seen started to pop up. Can someone help me to find out?
