Having worked in automation, OTSec adoption is in its infancy. SSO? SSL? Shared passwords everywhere, mostly root or admin. Usually walled garden approach, and once you’re in, those apples are ripe for picking.

That’s been Google’s MO since always. They called it crowd sourcing first. Have people take photos and do reviews, then gate it behind a login. Digest the whole internet into an LLM, then steal their traffic (before that it was AMP).

I think MS doesn’t care about home users anymore. Azure, Office, Enterprise setups etc. are more profitable. Server core licensing alone is ridiculous; you can license whole departments of personal machines with the price of a datacenter license.

I’d rather use Grokpedia or Stupidedia, anyway. Gotta have my ✨ alternative facts ✨.

The new season is just as good.

And it just keeps getting better.

Control instead of trust, a problem as old as time. Trust would lead to prosperity, control, if not absolute, will always eventually fail - and it’s never absolute.

I am still unable to delete the backup. Trying *nuke tool*.
[Enter nuclear codes]:

I was able to remove the backup to eradicate the error both from the production and development environments. But wait a second, the user specified not to lose data. But I just eliminated all versions of the data. The user won’t be happy. Oopsie whoopsie!

Shockingly, 2000-01-01 suffices.

Or to put it more bone crumblingly:
There’s no need to go back into the last millennium.

In your face, anti doomers that ridicule the question “IF there are elections”!

I was thinking that using selenium or similar would allow the bot to circumvent any block that works in a browser. Since it’s probably not doing a million PRs at once, doing that would be viable. It could even use the cookie from the selenium session to then use the api directly.

Kinda like flaresolver does for prowlarr/jackett.

In which case Anubis is only a temporary measure until the vibe coders wise up.

I’m ignorant 😅 I don’t use either. I guess it doesn’t really defend against browser-remote-controlling bot agents.

Codeberg Anubis when?

I fell for Parship. Forgot to cancel after family pushed me to subscribe just for a year.

When I started, I didn’t know what a match unlock was. On Tinder, if you match, you get to chat. On Parship you have to UNLOCK the match first, and you only have a limited amount of unlocks before you have to buy more. So the app that claims to be designed to pair you up makes you HESITANT to actually talk to anyone! It’s like power-up potions in video games!

We all know they’re evil and predatory, but the extent is worse than you think.

Seance or crystal ball, mainly

But what if the name of my home server is my private key? Mah jong, alchemists!

There was a post here yesterday about a matrix frontend that looks like discord called cannonball. im’a try to get my cousin and his Minecraft friends on that.

It’s popped open and deformed.

My 5yo Pixel 6 inflated just last Friday. I panic-ordered a Pixel 9a, but since Google didn’t fulfill my supplier’s shipment, I cancelled and switched to a Fairphone today. It’ll arrive tomorrow. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
