All in all it’s just another turd on the wall

Rule 34 perhaps? Meaning there must be porn of a car infotainment system out there somewhere

Yes, it’s called Bovril as it’s basically that already

Turns out knives you can eat a surprising number of before it kills you

Account of a Man Who Lived Ten Years, after Having Swallowed a Number of Clasp-Knives

I don’t know if there’s any legal implications, but morally it’s pretty abhorrent. The question I’d be asking is would you even want to work for a company that engages in that type of tactic, especially since they’re likely to repeat that kind of nonsense after you’ve started the job.

What? No Penistone?

I would have also put 20 down on an expired certificate

You can use old machines for all kinds of servers, I’ve got a stack of old laptops running a Kubernetes cluster, but synapse would push some of them possibly further than they can go so I have it on my more powerful NAS, and even then it isn’t exactly speedy at times

Lots of decent suggestions here so not going to repeat them, but I do have a couple of my own if using synapse:

• have plenty of RAM
• have plenty of CPU
• have plenty of DB storage space
• use Postgres as your database, SQLite sucks

Basically synapse is just a resource hog, and you need to plan for that. The database itself grows quicker than you’d expect as well

I’m most familiar (although casually) either UK/EU rules, and this page has an excellent breakdown of what’s considered the bare minimum this side of the pond for safety.

Personally I prefer to have a 20-30 min break every 2 hours which leaves me feeling sufficiently refreshed, and conveniently works perfectly for changing a 64kWh EV enough to do the next leg at the same ratio. I honestly believe switching to an EV has forced me to become a safer driver with regard to taking breaks.

I was wondering if this was similar to the Baltic Fleet and going down the comments looking for a reference. Lemmy did not disappoint

Ah I see, and you’re most welcome. 2FA is something I am very passionate about, to the point I’m trying to convince my whole family to use security keys, but I come up against a lot of resistance to it

Aside from SMS/email, which should be avoided anyway for other reasons, or proprietary solutions like MS’ or Steams approach, there is nothing to be gained from TOTP or WebAuthN.

TOTP (the 6 digit code that changed every 30 seconds, usually) is just a hash of a shared secret between you and the server, and the current time rounded to the nearest 30 seconds.

WebAuthN/FIDO2/U2F is private by design. Keys/authenticators derive a unique key for every credential pair, you can even register the same key multiple times because of this. About the only thing you gain is knowing what type of authenticator is being used, which is of questionable value at best.

Whilst I agree on the glue records, DNSSEC is most definitely included as standard (check my domain itsg.host which is on a free account)

That I very much agree with, CloudFlare is great, but it certainly isn’t for every use case nor should it be. Thats kinda the entire point I was trying to make.

I think it’s also worth bearing in mind there that the average fedi user currently is well aware of the lack of platform level moderation, both the good and the bad that come with that.

Took 4 takes for me to finally work out what it said

Well I was expecting some form of notification for replies, but still, seen it now.

My understanding of this is limited having mostly gotten as far as you have and been satisfied.

For other bouncers, there’s actually a few decisions you can apply. By default the only decision is BAN which as the name suggests just outright blocks the IP at whatever level your bouncer runs at (L4 for firewall and L7 for nginx). The nginx bouncer can do more thought with CAPTCHA or CHALLENGE decisions to allow false alerts to still access your site. I tried writing something similar for traefik but haven’t deployed anything yet to comment further.

Wih updates, I don’t have them on automated, but I do occasionally go in and run a manual update when I remember (usually when I upgrade my OPNSense firewall that’s runs it). I don’t think it’s a bad idea at all to automate them, however the attack vectors don’t change that often. One thing to note, newer scenarios only run on the latest agent, something I discovered recently when trying to upgrade. I believe it will refuse to update them if it would cause them to break in this way, but test it yourself before enabling corn

I once spent a good portion of a marquee club event sat on top of some Nexo Alpha S2 subs watching the chaos unfolding before my eyes (I distinctly remember something about a rubber horse head mask). Apart from not being able to feel my arsehole for a week afterwards, the power of the sub with the writhing mass of bodies was almost mesmerising

I did exactly this a few months ago on my NextCloud instance. Much sad ensued that evening.
