Exactly. Nothing with shared credentials should be directly accessible to someone off site to begin with. Either way things went down they have a security hole you could fly a blimp through. Either they aren’t revoking credentials properly or they have eternally facing systems using shared credentials.

Yeah, the proper time to revoke credentials is before they even know they’re getting fired. At all the places I worked, the first sign that someone was getting fired would be that they’re suddenly unable to access anything.

My favorite garage band.

They aren’t talking about the 404media site.

They aren’t talking about the news site. They are talking about the AI site.

It’s not a good movie but it’s a fun watch if you’re not expecting much.

All the people I watch on youtube make the majority of their money on patreon or twitch. Youtube is way too heavy handed with demonitization and copyright strikes to be a trutsworthy income source.

Ideally, you should be using nonoxygenated gas for your mower, in which case stabilizer is unnecessary. The ethanol is what gums up carbs.

A company I used to work for outsourced most of their coding to a company in India. I say most because when the code came back the internal teams anways had to put a bunch of work in to fix it and integrate it with existing systems. I imagine that, if anything, LLMs will just take the place of that overseas coding farm. The code they spit out will still need to be fixed and modified so it works with your existing systems and that work is going to require programmers.

I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that UL certified goods are super expensive. UL is the bare minimum. I have a $10 UL certified lamp on my desk right now. Certifications like TUV and similar are the more expensive ones.

Are you really their friend if they don’t see opening your messages as a game of psychological russian roulette?

So, just plonk an atomic clock on the moon and call that moon time. Ocasionally synchronize moon time with UTC.

Will that also block all users from that instance? I was under the impression that it just blocked posts from that instance showing up in your feed.

Did we really need yet another reddit mirroring bot?

If that’s what it is the the way they’re doing it is beyond obnoxious because I can’t just block the whole thing. If I wanted reddit comments then I would be using reddit.

That’s the point though. The address is randomized per connection specifically so the device can’t be identified. It’s to prevent tracking, blocking, or assigning, anything based on mac address without the device owners knowledge. Every time your phone connects the network has to treat it like a new device. If it was randomized per network that would defeat the point.

I personally can’t think of any reason you would need a static IP on your phone but if you did then you should know enough to know how to turn off the randomized mac address. You can even change the setting per network so if you need a static ip at home then you just set your phone to use a static mac address on your home network and continue using a randomized one on every other network.

Wait, it was adorableporn they were upset about?! I assumed it was one of the diaper fetish or ddlg communities or something like that. Unless I’m missing something adorableporn is just women who are cute but not necissarly considered conventionally “hot” in the pornstar sense.

Fuck Meta and all but this isn’t news. Meta litterally said straight up that they would be doing this before threads ever launched. If you have an instagram account then that is also your threads account. This isn’t some conspiracy it’s exactly what they told everyone they were doing. It’s no diferent than linked accounts for google services.

The concern is that the fediverse as it exists now may not be big enough to survive corporations entering it. If they start creating their own modified versions of that open protocol (which they will) it will eventually mean they start breaking compatibilty with the rest of the fediverse. That means that the rest of the fediverse will then need to move over to their protocol which they have control over or just accept that the free and open fediverse can no longer connect to the corporate fediverse. Right now the free and open fediverse is small and may not have the staying power to survive that disconnect once people get used to being connected to the corporate side of fediverse. Once that disconnect happens the average joe is going to go with the side that has more content which is going to be the corporate fediverse if they are alowed to join before the free and open fediverse has truely gotten off the ground.

Meta has also never been anything other than actively malicious when it comes to online communities. Giving them any power at all in the still infant fediverse brings more risk than any possible reward. It’s like letting a hyena into a daycare and saying it’s fine because the hyena isn’t hungry right now. Eventually it will be and why would you even let it in in the first place. Eventually meta will want more control. Letting them in now and allowing them to cement their place in the fediverse will just make it that much easier to extend and extinguish when that time comes.

I don’t have the link but the game is “Cataclysm:Dark days ahead” if you wana look through their github. They have some gems in the issue tracker.

Another one of my favorite issues from there was someone posted an issue where timed explosives didn’t go off when placed in pet backpacks. One of the lead devs basically responded “Yes, I guess that’s a bug, but I’m also very disapointed in you all.”
