1oooqooq··on Creepy Crawlies
See, this is you falling for their marketing.

It makes sense doesn't it? If you own all the pipes, you can effectively block bad actors. But in reality what they do is to just block everyone who blocks advertising tracking and profiling tech (such as canvas fingerprint etc)... and because all vendors use cf, they all block those same clients, and they think there's some winner takes all magic happening with finely tuned blocklists. Don't fall for the marketing!

Try it yourself. Block those fingerprinting tech and try to access their own user forum. you get blocked. Now allow fingerprinting (even if emulated in a headless chrome!) and access by the most toxic vpn you can think off, access granted.

All cloudflare does is act like a gatekeep for monetizable-by-creepy-advertising-networks traffic, not bots. If the bots pay the small headless chrome tax, you get bombarded with their requests just fine.

1oooqooq··on Israel demanded Google and Amazon use secret 'wink' to sidestep legal orders
while the comment you reply to is borderline insane,

you're taking from a very privileged position in terms of media consumption. the media that criticizes the genocide and the blackflag on oct 7th is very niche and you seem to consume it exclusively. the message is very different within mass media.

1oooqooq··on Kafka is Fast – I'll use Postgres
you're really trying to vibe architect?
1oooqooq··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
point is that a script executes the script in front of you.

uv executes http://somemirror.com/some-version

most people like their distro to vet these things. uv et all had a reason when Python2 and 3 were a mess. i think that time is way behind us. pip is mostly to install libraries, and even that is mostly already done by the distros.

1oooqooq··on Austrian ministry kicks out Microsoft in favor of Nextcloud
i guess your pedantry is right. it would be much more expensive to pay for corruption without the "safety" of some well executed fraud... but now it's open season and nobody even have to care about looking innocent anymore.
1oooqooq··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
this manages to be even worse. since it's setup full of holes to usable (eg reaching out on the filesystem), you get the worst of random binaries without isolation, plus the dead end for updates you get in practice when dealing with hundreds of containers outside of a professionally managed cluster.
1oooqooq··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
it's a stretch to "executing a script with a build user" or "from a validated distro immutable package" to "allowing something to download evergreen code and install files everywhere on the system".
1oooqooq··on AWS to bare metal two years later: Answering your questions about leaving AWS
Exactly. this is the margin aws trives from.

they sell "you don't need a team"... which is true om your prototype and mvp phase. and you know when you grow you will have an ops team and maybe move out.

but in the very long middle time... you will be supporting clients and sla etc, and will end up paying both aws AND an ops team without even realizing.

1oooqooq··on AWS to bare metal two years later: Answering your questions about leaving AWS
amazing how nobody even know about ECC these days.

see so many series B+ companies running DB and storage without a care in the world.

1oooqooq··on Keep Android Open
reminder that stallman was cancelled from the eff with adhominem attacks. and we are back to calling free software (which would prevent things like the article) as Open-Source (which ia just donations to google and meta)
1oooqooq··on Keep Android Open
the people saying gpl cannot sell software is always bsd users, who always work for some company contracting with Boz allen Hamilton and such. It's never an honest opinion.
1oooqooq··on Do Users Verify SSH Keys? (2011) [pdf]
nobody robbed my house in years. i still lock the door.

it's so banal to check host keys.

1oooqooq··on Austrian ministry kicks out Microsoft in favor of Nextcloud
oh it very much is. they just act and bill like it's not.

corruption requires costs you cannot verify after delivery. for construction it's the exagerated foundation which they only actually deliver what's needed and pocket the difference. for software it is the hundreds of rewrites that may or may not have happened and are now in the past.

1oooqooq··on Euro cops take down cybercrime network with 49M fake accounts
so, punish facebook. don't use my taxes to persecute criminally someone using the badly designed system.

they would have close banks or newspapers for much less.

1oooqooq··on The Linux Boot Process: From Power Button to Kernel
firmwares are the real IoT nobody talks about that that actually happened. infinite little computers and code churning away from view. and not being updated.

next 'snowden leaks' will have that word on every page.

1oooqooq··on You already have a Git server
this article is very bad advice. this way things are extremely brittle and there's a reason all those settings are disabled by default. you will lose data, save from very specific use cases

the vastly superior way is 'git bare' which is a first class supported command without hacky settings.

1oooqooq··on What if tariffs?
lol. just last week he posted that the Canadian ad showing the audio recording of nixon against tariffs was fake.
1oooqooq··on What if tariffs?
did you ever try (barelly a research, im not even asking if you got up from your chair) to know about joining a party or participating in voting counts?
1oooqooq··on Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change
if you're building containers with full systemd instead of the pid0 shim you're doing systemd wrong
1oooqooq··on Euro cops take down cybercrime network with 49M fake accounts
why are taxes being used to moderate Facebook?
1oooqooq··on Make any TypeScript function durable
better then when they try to contribute to react with proper functions like useActionState and ship so many cripling bugs the dev just leave the issues on read.
1oooqooq··on Apple loses UK App Store monopoly case, penalty might near $2B
https://github.com/deckerst/aves/issues/1802

and google is surreptitiously flagging several of the top alternatives to their spyware bloatware on android, as a prelude to the change.

this is clearly an action that can be easily attributed to incompetence, but is a thinly veiled way to ensure a flood of verified open source joining early on the ransom for signing whitelist.

1oooqooq··on Zram Performance Analysis
why hibernation would not compress to begin with? you're more likely just end up running zstd twice.
1oooqooq··on Zram Performance Analysis
the context is missing.

but for vps, where the cpu usage is extremely low and ram is expensive, it might make sense to sacrifice a little performance for more db cache maybe. can't say without more context

1oooqooq··on Trump pardons convicted Binance founder
if they were going to pardon everyone, at least this save costs. i guess doge was really saving us money after all /s

win-win
1oooqooq··on Greenland’s national telco, Tusass, signs new agreement with Eutelsat
not really. this still push ads. they are just limited to "native ads format" (i.e. look like content to evade ad blockers) and only advertise yc companies and jobs.
1oooqooq··on Apple alerts exploit developer that his iPhone was targeted with gov spyware
humans create myths which shape their world.

you, sadly, internalized a state humanity adopted after wwii, were the anti red propaganda told everyone that of you could illegally burn a forest down to then buy a Ferrari, it was the best course of action because if you didn't do it, someone would.

thankfully people like you are being ostracized, albeit too slow, and pointed out as what you really are: agentless weak oportunists.

1oooqooq··on KDE Connect: Enabling communication between all your devices
mdns is a really awful protocol. it was already bad in the era it was born, being just an evolution of Microsoft NetBIOS out something. today in the age of wifi and overlay networks, i just consider it information leak with zero benefits.

so, the rfc have a section on how the mdns server have to evolve to handle multiple interfaces and own that. but in reality nobody gives a damn because the maintainer (redhat ibm) is it in the context it was invented (work networks on the 00s), so everyone (like many comments below) just work around in all the wrong ways making other things more complicated.

"just do these hundreds changed on wireguard, your firewall, install this reverse proxy... now your service that only exists to route things automatically can look like it works" heh.

1oooqooq··on KDE Connect: Enabling communication between all your devices
not true for all distros. and this kind of thinking is really bad imo for network services.
