arcza··on Swiss authorities want to reduce dependency on Microsoft
But what about push notifications to mobile? I'm not aware of anything that handles this as well as Exchange ActiveSync. it's reasonable that you get an email within sub 1 minute latency, not 15 min polling.

The user experience between a phone, tablet and computer should be symbiotic. Krb is not a first class thing in the mobile world. So users now hav great Krb experience with Outlook.exe but are typing passwords into Safari at owa.example.com (anywhere you type an AD password that isn't lsass or ADFS is really not good posture)

So, passwords are bad and the password is a key component of krb. Moving away from passwords is a step in the right direction eg OIDC.

Not easy at all.

Think about integrating calendars, corporate contacts (from AD), handling RSVP replies said mx server receives and updating the calendar server, securely deal with modern auth (+ legacy krb5 auth, yuk). It's a huge hassle and everything except Exchange only handles 80% of this.

Modern expectations now want: web clients (OWA), todo lists, integrated storage (SP/OneDrive), and push notifications to any phone from any vendor.

So yeah, the only on prem solution is still Exchange.

arcza··on Starfling: A one-tap endless orbital slingshot game in a single HTML file
Agreed. This totally ruins it for me and by the sound of it many other commenters. Nice game otherwise.
arcza··on Starfling: A one-tap endless orbital slingshot game in a single HTML file
Nice! Some ideas: Please can you remove the text that hides the main game view. This is the biggest annoyance on both games and slows you down a lot. Also the gravity / physics feels off. Orbit is too slow.

Probably the UK CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) which regulates competition/antitrust, mergers, national security acquisitions and the like.

Or there is a loosely defined locally-run thing called 'Trading Standards' which is done at the council ("municipality") level.

and for the record I am just being difficult and everyone in tech/mildly well read knows what the (U.S.) FTC is. My point is more that one country's rules don't always matter for the operations of domestic commerce in another amongst their own citizens.

We famously mock our own jusrisprudence - "if Parliament passes a law that it is illegal to smoke on the streets of Paris, then it is illegal to smoke on the streets in Paris", so even when hard legislation exists (4chan/Ofcom shitshow?) it is meaningless.

The only power that matters long term in the universe is sheer force and hard power, and it has always been that way.

I'm just making a point the whole world doesn't revolve around America.
arcza··on Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net
Maybe the whole world is not in the U.S. What is the FTC? The Royal Air Force Flying Training Command?

So whatever OneUptime is, I now know it has zero integrity and is something I should avoid.
arcza··on Proton Meet isn't what they told you it was
No, if a website is that obnoxious I just close the tab. It is not worth yet another mental drain on my limited attention span to read slop.

Just give me the boring single .htm page with your thoughts or a Wordpress site with minimal plugins. I'd hate to think the strain the author puts on people with accessible needs making this.

arcza··on Proton Meet isn't what they told you it was
What a truly unreadable website. As another commenter said I see a few of these get churned out with the same annoying dark patterns.

Doesn't this guy's server just DDoS some dude's blog with your own browser? Didn't click.

The testimonials look so fake and remove all credibility in what may be an interesting product.

Nice you want to level the playing field for candidates, but first impressions != authentic

Good spot lol
arcza··on Reddit Ads Is a Scam
Your post was very unconvincing to read and riddled with errors. Rage bait to prop up the Userpath thingy?
arcza··on Show HN: Legal Eyes – Turn casual text into legalese with one click
One further point. In the UK - there's an active campaign to use clear plain English in contracts. I don't think making things harder to understand is a good idea, but not saying you're doing this either.

Hi. Why is a UK website (assuming based on the domain) pricing in USD for a UK viewer? Thanks.
arcza··on CGNAT frustrates all IP address-based technologies (2019)
"CGNAT providers" is like saying "DHCP providers" or "PPPoE providers". I've never heard of a "WSP". What if I send an email on port 25 (not web) via my "WSP"? LOL.
arcza··on CGNAT frustrates all IP address-based technologies (2019)
This sounds like incompetence. You can procure IPv4 addresses in days as a monthly rental (go speak to Cogent etc), or even buy outright with little delay. Going rate is currently $34/address at the /24 level and cheaper for larger blocks.
arcza··on Filtering spam with GPT4o-mini for $0.00008 per email
Highlighting some of the cool work RSpamD has done to integrate OpenAI's API into spam filtering. Makes a lot of the big guys look less relevant esp. at the price points being charged for spam filtering nowadays, typically paid handsomely by large enterprises with on-prem mail.

Be careful with the above. I thought it was unusual when I landed here via DuckDuckGo. This is clearly an attempt at something bad. I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this?
arcza··on TfL Cyber Security Incident
> We are currently dealing with an ongoing cyber security incident. At present, there is no evidence that any customer data has been compromised and there has been no impact on TfL services.

> The security of our systems and customer data is very important to us, and we have taken immediate action to prevent any further access to our systems.

I guess time will tell what this was.

arcza··on I'm blocking connections from AWS to my on-prem services
The author has said for a long time they have had a "no crawl" policy anyways, I don't think the author cares and with the enshittification of Google they are probably in the right anyways.
arcza··on I'm blocking connections from AWS to my on-prem services
Meaningless low-value and non-human traffic wasting resources and/or training models. Their blog is for real humans per the author's writing, which is a valid stance to take.
arcza··on I'm blocking connections from AWS to my on-prem services
I've been blocking Hetzner, Digital Ocean, Linode, OVH and Contabo for a while. You can do this with pfBlocker NG by blocking ASNs, or UFW rules (https://blog.abctaylor.com/ufw-and-firewalld-rules-to-block-...)

What is also suspicious is 5/8ths of the user's past submissions (all on his own blog) have been deleted. Is this some sort of AI-generated traffic farming / engagement gimmick? I don't randomly delete my past submissions to HN from my WordPress.
