To me it seems reasonable because I’m already providing a lot of information to the airline, name, ID card, maybe even passport. If accounts are optional, this data is still being stored, probably against some kind of “shadow user” account, which ironically is more difficult to reason about or remember if you wanted to exercise your rights under the DPA.

Exactly, an account has been created for you anyway and the merchant holds pretty much the same amount of data on you, so I think requiring an account is a good thing as then at least you know that a company holds all these records about you.

To be clear for online purchases I think it's a nice convenience to be able to buy without requiring an account, but for flights it's an entirely different game, you often need to provide a lot more PII.

Requiring an account to book a flight seems perfectly reasonable to me

I find all of these bans quite interesting because when I was at school we would be figuring out how to circumvent the web filters and would be building apps to hide the games we had open on Miniclip when a teacher walked past.

I think I kind of owe my software development career to these early days as that is what inspired me. We didn’t have smartphones when I was at school and I guess things weren’t as optimised to be so addictive but we did have Facebook and Bebo.

I've been running apps on Kubernetes clusters for the past 6 years and the only thing that really comes to mind that was a breaking change was when the ingress class resource type was introduced. Everything else has been incremental. Maybe I'm forgetting something.

What's wrong with recommending a managed cluster? I wouldn't use one but it is certainly an option for teams that don't want to spin up a cluster from scratch, although it comes with its own set of tradeoffs.

My project at the moment is definitely easier thanks to Kubernetes as pods are spun up dynamically and I've migrated to a different cloud provider and since migrated to a mix of dedicated servers and autoscaled VMs, all of which was easy due to the common deployment target rather than building on top of a cloud provider specific service.

I don't get these recent anti-Kubernetes posts, yes if you're deploying a simple app then there are alternatives which are easier, but as your app starts to get more complex then suddenly you'll be wishing you had the Kubernetes API.

I'd use Kubernetes even if I was spinning up a single VM and installing k3s on it. It's a universal deployment target.

Spinning up a cluster isn't the easiest thing, but I don't understand how a lot of the complaints around this come from sysadmin-type people who replace Kubernetes with spinning up VMs instead. The main complexity I've found from managing a cluster is the boring sysadmin stuff, PKI, firewall rules, scripts to automate. Kubernetes itself is pretty rock solid. A lot of cluster failure modes still result in your app still working. Etcd can be a pain but if you want you can even replace that with a SQL database for moderate sized clusters if that's more your thing (easier to manage HA control plane then too if you've already got a HA SQL server).

Or yes just use a managed Kubernetes cluster.

Do you see this as an alternative to OnlyOffice? I’m wondering if you’ve tried it and how you think this compares

That link you posted is comparing the M3 Max with the base M4, it has more CPU and GPU cores

In the U.K. I find the Aldi scanners to be great, they’re fast and accurate, probably in part to the enlarged barcodes.

Tesco is the worst, multiple second delay between scanning each item while it recognises the weight, constant blocks, good riddance.

I've readded it since removing it entirely because I haven't got anywhere with Google

Sorry to hear that, what service are you using if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks I was trying this recently and it came back all green.

On a related note, one interesting thing I did discover, due to a small misconfiguration of NextJS + App Router, I was getting two </html> closing tags in my markup, which https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/ was flagging as potential site compromise, I guess because a site with malware injecting unwanted scripts could cause broken markup as a common side effect? Anyway I long since fixed that and it hasn't made a difference.

Good shout, I never even considered this. Now that you mention it, I did buy the domain from a seller back in 2020, so yes perhaps this has something to do with it.

I'm checking web.archive.org and it all looks pretty innocent so far apart from the domain for sale pages that started around 2011

Thanks, seems to be all clean https://www.ssltrust.com.au/ssl-tools/website-security-check...

Hmm possibly, good idea. That's a different company based in SA in a different space, but maybe you're right.

Thanks, I think you're right. I might try a subdomain and if that doesn't work a separate domain altogether, although I would have thought if I link through to the main site surely they'd still block it.. but we'll see

Was it flagged as Compromised Site on Google Ads or actually blocked in Chrome (Google Safe Search)?

One thing I thought it could be is I use PostHog for analytics / heat map recording, but I tried completely removing it and they still rejected it.

I want to buy ads on Google Search results for certain keywords to direct people to my business. I haven't had any trouble with Facebook Ads in the past

How does this relate to PKCS or cards using PKI? Are there access control systems out there that use this and is it more secure?

Or maybe there’s door access control systems out there that use FIDO2 :D

Yes for about an hour now, I'm surprised this is the only post I've seen about it!

One of the things I hate most in tourist hotspots these days are the people selling high powered laser pointers, normally selling them to kids, and they are shining it at their faces, in the faces of others, and at the neighbours.

I swear they never used to be so commonplace.

Having worked nightclub lighting a long time ago I have a deep appreciation for laser safety haha

Is there something like Jupyter for Javascript/Typescript, ideally self hosted? At the moment I just do data science using one off scripts in NodeJS but seeing these notebook style formats recently where different chunks of code appear to be snapshotted and then visualisations can be easily integrated looks quite nice.

Yep I get the 502 Bad Gateway and sometimes the standard Cloudflare error page.

I love how the Cloudflare error page says "Cloudflare is working" and it's my website causing the problem.. even though it's Cloudflare pages haha

My Cloudflare Pages site has gone down completely, anyone else?

What's wrong with the interviewer wearing a suit?

I've flown a lot with Ryanair, Easyjet and Wizz Air, and apart from Wizz Air adding mysterious a "System surcharge" if you use an ad blocker (although I think they've stopped doing this), I don't mind the extra charges at all.

Surely if they ban cabin bag and seat charges, then the base fare is just going to go up for everyone?

Memes and jokes aside, I actually find Ryanair to be a better service a lot of the time compared to Easyjet and more transparent with pricing, even though Easyjet is almost always more expensive on the routes I fly.

Depends on your use case, for mine it works fine and feels similar to Termux. The performance of the iPhone 15 also probably plays a part.

Yeah, it’s good but iOS also has iSH so the experience is pretty similar.
