  • You don’t even have to leave the work Sim at home, a lot of phones allow you to just disable the SIM card in your settings. For example my phone has three SIM card slots in the settings. It has the primary sim, Sim 2 and then it has the esim. Granted I only use sim one and Sim 2 is a SIM card for a pay as you go style carrier that way if I ever get in trouble with my current carrier I can just activate it and go.

    Back when I was in retail, Sim 2 was my “work sim” , paid for by the company, when I clocked out for the day I just turned it off

    Less wear and tear on the phone as well by doing that


  • So I went to a little bit of a deep dive regarding this, they do require interrupting DNS as part of their Redemption grace period. Furthermore I went into the hexbear website and their current header indicates that despite the fact that it’s in current auction the current owner can still sign in and redeem the domain. Which makes me think that they’re running a more gracious rgp then what is to be expected. So that being said they could just be placing bids on a domain that won’t actually sell.

    Being said though apparently according to other comments the infrastructure maintainer of hexbear has been AWOL for a while so it’s entirely possible that they just won’t notice it that it will transfer

    The way I see it, there’s a few things that may have happened here.

    1. Either the domain registrar incorrectly processed their expired domain system and sold the domain without interrupting DNS in which case a third party bought it and then immediately put it to auction (unlikely cause the status / NS is the expired servers), this route would open up the domain registrar to a complaint being filed against them via ICANN

    2. Or their domain registrar had a 30-day preemptive period where they were messaging the person, and then an additional few days with auction rgp that’s the actual official last call for it, if this is the case then hexbear’s infrastructure admin should be able to just sign in and renew the domain, but they may be forced to pay a Redemption fee on top of it, if that’s the case then when they renew the domain, the auction would continue running it’s just when it ended no buyers would be selected because the original owner renewed

    3. Essentially the same thing as one, however they never disabled DNS, and instead of it being a third party, it’s themselves putting it out to auction on the tail end of the 30-day rgp window. If that’s the case then like number one they’re in violation of ICANN as DNS wasn’t disabled.

    Again though, this is off the consensus that they didn’t disable DNS a month ago, which I’m leaning at because I haven’t seen any comments regarding it nor have I found any ststus sites showing that the domain was offline




  • What I’m saying is that you have to look at the bigger picture. Not only Sony would be affected by that, back in 2011 when they were breached consumers were charged in the estimated tens of millions of dollars range. A figure that Sony only ended up having to repay about 15 million in settlement fees for after a solid year and a half.

    Additionally, Sony still managed to go up in profit that year, despite the PR nightmare out of it. Going up from 1.2 billion after operating costs in 2010 to 1.4 billion after operational costs in 2011 and still made 1.1 billion in 2012 ( after the 172 million in damages was done)

    I understand hating big business and their practices as much as the next guy, but I have a hard time getting a sense of satisfaction knowing that at the end of the day the company itself isn’t going to be impacted by the hack more than a small itch, while fucking over the everyday consumer significantly more




  • might be in relates to issue link here

    It was a good read, personally speaking I think it probably would have just been better off to block gotosocial(if that’s possible since if seems stuff gets blocked when you check it) until proper robot support was provided I found it weird that they paused the entire system.

    Being said, if I understand that issue correctly, I fall under the stand that it is gotosocial that is misbehaving. They are poisoning data sets that are required for any type of federation to occur(node info, v1 and v2 statistics), under the guise that they said program is not respecting the robots file. Instead arguing that it’s preventing crawlers, where it’s clear that more than just crawlers are being hit.

    imo this looks bad, it defo puts a bad taste in my mouth regarding the project. I’m not saying an operator shouldn’t have to listen to a robots.txt, but when you implement a system that negatively hits third party, the response shouldn’t be the equivalent of sucks to suck that’s a you problem, your implementation should either respond zero or null, any other value and you are just being abusive and hostile as a program







  • Just as a another form of Devil’s advocate, going over the manufacturer’s recommended specs on it isn’t a good idea either and intentionally making a car have to go back to a shop in order to be repaired on something that should be as simple repair is the easiest way to make it so the customer doesn’t come back

    I had that happen with my first vehicle, normally I change my own oil and filter because it’s about the most stupid easy job that you can do, but it was finals week and I already had way too much stuff on plate so I caved and under my parents recommendation brought it to a local shop

    Everything went fine didn’t spend through the roof but the next time I went to change my oil oh my God those fuckers put that oil pan plug on there so fucking tight that there was actually signs that it was starting to strip/warp, I had to get my dad to help me with it which was super embarrassing and he laughed at me until he tried to do it himself and he fucking struggled with it.

    It was clear that shop intentionally made it as tight as fucking possible because they wanted to make it so the next time it happened they wanted it to be brought in again. After we finally got it off we both agreed on one thing, neither of us are bringing our vehicles back to that shop again. That was over 10 years ago now and I’m still holding true to my word fuck them I’ll drive the extra 20 minutes to another shop


  • Yea Canada would be the only one to even remotely manage that, and that’s taking the gamble that the US doesn’t launch a nuke before it finishes.

    Being said it would need to be the military, I don’t think the average citizen would stop something like that. Especially if the invaders were another democratic leaning country. The only way I think you get civilians to fight is if it ends up being a communist country that tries to invade. The relational ties with Canada are pretty strong, many people have friends who are Canadian, and it’s so unlike Canada that I don’t think many would believe it was actually them if it was done.

    Hell we’re talking a country that basically shrugged and said “oh well they deserved it” when someone shot a healthcare CEO, I can’t see anyone batting much of an eye if someone deposed the sitting officials, especially the head of the country, at least in it’s current state.

    Being said though… if something like that did happen, I don’t think it will be from a foreign government, I think it would be domestic. Not that it makes it any better.

    Strangely it sounds like that’s correct. I was under the understanding that depends_on cared about it past start as well but it does not. It doesn’t look like there’s a native way of turning containers that are depending on one another when you turn the dependency off. It looks like the current recommended way of doing it is either with a Docker compose file (which doesn’t help if the process crashed/was concidered unhealthy), or having a third party script on the host monitor the dependencies and if one is considered offline, it turns the dependees off.

    Looking into it the concern has been approached twice now on the GitHub page, however every time that it’s been brought up it’s been closed for stale because nobody ever replies to the question

    I’ve never heard of komodo, I’ve heard a lot about Watchtower but I found it more annoying to set up due to its labeling systems. Is there any added benefit for Komodo over using a standard watch tower setup?

    I haven’t set up either of them, but my main concern is having a breaking change be automatically updated
