Keycloak to provide OIDC, although in hindsight I should have gone with Authelia Authentik

… Wasn’t there a story a few months ago about a family that had done exactly that and turns out living in Russia kinda sucks?

The books are great, and they continue on the story after the show ended

The most unbelievable thing about these photos are that trump could kneel like that without shattering

Yeah, but single large mass hitting in one place vs stuff spread out vs planet forming a ring and deorbiting over months/years would affect the outcome

Practically, I’d think there wouldn’t be a huge effect beyond some CMEs - the mass of the earth is a rounding error compared to the sun - but I’m not a cosmologist

For a start, the planet wouldn’t actually collide with the sun on one piece - once the planet crosses the Roche limit it will break apart

There are very few things more obnoxious than an asshole with unsolicited parenting advice

Typically they do, just they call it a “performance bonus” and it’s baked into their contract

With Bluetooth you could probably figure out which room a device is in - it’ll get you within a few meters - UWB will help you find which end of the couch it is under, at the cost of only working once you are within a meter or two

As was “negro” - and that’s kinda the point; just because a word is “official” doesn’t make it not discriminatory, just that the discrimination was backed by the power of institutions.

I don’t 100% buy the argument that the two words are equivalent, but I can see how “oh you can’t come here you are obese” could feel similarly arbitrary as “oh you can’t come here you are black”

Make sure you have your shiv handy so when someone is “helpful” and tries to push you without asking first you can get em right in the kidney

If you are talking about nation state leaders, I’m struggling to think of one where they don’t just end up getting replaced with someone similar - Putin turning to magic dust doesn’t suddenly dismantle the structure that allows for a dictator, so another dictator will slide into the void. Same with Trump - American politics doesn’t stop being insane just cos he’s not around, and now that people know/think that a politician of his style can win, there will be a queue to cynical imitators ready to go.

I’m less familiar with Indian politics, but I don’t think the BJP suddenly loses its power if Modi disappeared. Israel will still have it’s hard right nationalist core without Netanyahu. North Korea will find another Kim.

I guess my thesis is “focus on systems, not people”

Most of them block everything other than ports 80 and 443, so unless you’ve set the gateway up to run on one of those ports it’ll probably not work

Typically you won’t have real people harvesting emails for sale - it’s much easier to get addresses in bulk by hacking services and dumping their databases - and you get password hashes as well, which makes it a much better value proposition for the time it takes.

Off the top of my head, a couple of things that it could be:

• Simple stolen card fraud - buy something small with a stolen credit card to prove it works before using it for a higher value purchase. Something where you don’t need to worry about a physical product getting delivered somewhere would be great for this
• Escrow fee fraud - commission something small, then use that as a hook to promise a much larger commission, except that they want to use some off-site service to “reduce the fees”, then “oops the money has been flagged as maybe fraudulent and you need to pay a fee to get it released”
• Money mule recruitment - again, small commission (using a stolen card) to establish a relationship, then come to you with a great job opportunity where they will send you some money via western union or something, and all you need to do is send it on to someone else, and you get to keep a cut. The catch is you are actually handing stolen funds or helping someone evade international sanctions, and you end up in prison

Ah yes, the realisation that everything dependable and solid in the world is just a monument to hubris, built on foundations of sand

I moved just about everything to Route53 for registration - I run my own DNS so I don’t need to pay for that, and it’s ~40% cheaper than Gandi for better service.

Now I just need to move my .nz domain (R53 supports .{co,net,org}.nz, but not .nz itself?) and the 2 .xyz domains that are “premium” for some reason so R53 won’t touch

Not directly, but depending on the airspace you are violating you might end up meeting some people who have absolutely zero chill

Balloon cops

As they are more commonly known the FAA, and their enforcement arm - the USAF

For anything that is related to my backup scheme, it’s printed out hard copy, put in an envelope in a fire safe in my house. I can tell you from experience there is nothing more stressful than “oh fuck I need my backups but the key to unlock the backups is in the backups fuck fuck fuck”.

And for future reference, anyone thinking about breaking into my house to get access to my backups just DM me, I’m sure we can come to an arrangement that’s less hassle for both of us
