No. Put the Genie back in the bottle. We need air traffic control for this shit. Or we just have to shut down all the PHP and NodeJs servers. (This is sarcasm…mostly.)

Allowing private corporations to have the ability to block what is seen on the internet seems to us to be a dangerous and infinitely deep problem.

Is a great quote, and gets to the heart of the issue.

But the French authorities are idiots. So there’s no win to be had, here.

Maybe deep packet inspection to drop any traffic that happens to be in the French langauge.

There are more important reasons geoIP blocking will not work. We already prevailed in a similar legal case in Germany in 2021-2023 in which we learned an important lesson: we tried to use geoIP blocking as a “hack” in a similar circumstance at the start of the legal proceedings, allowing us to continue services in Germany until the case concluded. The plaintiff (Sony Music Entertainment GmbH) then used a VPN to access the blocked content from Germany in circumvention of the geoIP blocking. The court agreed with Sony in their assertions of noncompliance, and we were fined for contempt of court.

A very “fuck you” to Sony, once again, as well.

Oh shit! No dip!?

I always thought it would be…them. Exaclty them.

I plan to operate on expired certificates for two to four years, forcing all three of my users to click past a terrible warning.

Then I will automate my six day certificate rotation with Ansible (officially), but maybe actually with a stupid bash script in CRON (unofficially).

The real value is in the agility needed to update certs every six days.

Six days is still too long to leave a compromised key in play, but anyone who can rotate their keys every six days can probably also rotate their keys quite quickly if there’s a comprise.

Says everything I need to know about the change.

It’s fair game after getting legally married, though.

Anything you do on USPS also goes to Google.

Opening a PO Box in person should avoid this issue.

Post Office Boxes are the solution.

Doesn’t outlook support imap?

Officially, it can. Many organizations turn IMAP off “for security reasons.”

Edit: Microsoft routinely turns off features for security reasons, so this comment may age poorly, if not already.

Everybody says the data isn’t retained. It’s very stylish, today, to claim to delete unused data, at least until it get breached

Free markets hurt capitalists.

Fucking communists and their free markets and open competition! None of that for us, please.

(Poe’s law: This is meant to be taken as absurdist humor.)

Yes, it’s the people who put in decades of hard work, not the cocaine snorting golden parachute executives, costing US auto makers their chance to compete. That might be it.

Edit: If only there were some way for citizens united to do something to help those poor executives.

We’re still quoting this fucker after his Epstein emails?

Yes. In my opinion, both Sister Act films hold up.

I did a watch party with Sister Act 1/2 and School of Rock and some others, recently.

It also increased my respect for films like “School of Rock”, as “Sister Act” had to have been a tough act to dare to follow.

Bad llm code is just as bad as bad human code.

Bad LLM code is worse than bad human code. LLMs sanitize out markers that humans use to catch and correct mistakes.

Eye contact is benign for most of us. We still give it a context warning in civilized circles. It costs us almost nothing, and lets people make an informed decision what you engage with.
