  • Trump Is Packing His Cabinet With Crypto, Oil and Private Prison Profiteers

  • "draining the swamp" is actually a bad thing.Huge ecological upheaval, likely increase of both floods and droughts by lowering the water table, and decreasing surge control because swamps are essentially sponges.Never mind the nutrients and biodiversity.

    But in the short term, it's more useable land

  • 'Dumping like crazy': Trump accused of 'rugpull' scheme now valued at $32 billion

  • Nah, you call it a meme so everyone doesn't look at it too closely.It's like the typos in scam emails and texts.The people that would actively investigate such a thing dismiss it immediately.The stupid people buy right into it.

  • Hulu quizzing about the ads played

  • No, mainstream media is part of capitalism.Specifically shitty mainstream media (I'm sure there are some mainstream media providers that aren't shitty).

    This is a shitty product.This is a shitty product that is part of capitalism.This is a shitty product that is part of capitalism which happens to show mainstream media.

    But this isn't mainstream media.

    Mainstream media would want in on the ad revenue. Mainstream media would facilitate & encourage this.

    This is just a shitty product from a shitty company capitalising on shitty practices.

    Edit:I guess "part of the same bullshit" is correct.But it's placing the blame on the wrong thing

  • This isn't mainstream media.This is capitalism.

    This is a company making a product, selling it for a given price, then making additional money from embedded ads.Whether that ad revenue is additional profit, or to offset the actual cost of the item - because the sold it at a loss to beat their competitors - doesn't really matter.This is the consumer paying for something, and not getting a full and complete product

  • Elon Musk Reportedly Emerges As a Potential Intel Buyer, Involving Qualcomm & Global Foundries In This Blockbuster Deal

    Jump

  • I don't know that he has helped build anything. He has helped hype 2 companies.He did great PR when someone was managing him, but recently his PR is poison.SpaceX is managed by someone competent, musk has - quite frankly - little to do with the company.Tesla is riding the hype from before musk took off the mask. I give them 4 years, tops. If it's not already on the way down.

    Intel needs to be run and managed by engineers. That's what we want from core components. Not hype, not bubbles, not marketing speak, not fancy names and confusing part numbers. We want actual engineers who have thought through the implications of their decisions all the way to the end consumer. We want hardware that works and is predictable.

  • XML is extremely verbose.Again, requires some other tooling to generate (I feel I can point to JavaScript for an example of XML manipulation)

  • Keep it simple

    Jump

  • I feel I spend more time iterating yaml.There isn't any tooling that actually helps you write it.

    I feel like there is a gap in the market for a solution that uses typescript, typed python or some other type-able scripting language, which then generates the yaml files.A language that has language servers, intellisense, all the modern dev tools. Schemas are provided as simple type descriptors. And whatever script you write then produces the correct result.Some sort of framework on top of that to provide an opinionated workflow, and some tooling to lint/validate/produce.And the result is yaml files which can be checked/diffed against in-place config, and version controlled for consistency.

  • Keep it simple

    Jump

  • I guess it's like HTML if it tried to also adopt it's own scripting language. Whereas JS interacts with the HTML DOM. Sure, it has quirks, but essentially modified a config.

    I've never found a nice way writing YAML with variables and configurability.Trying to use yaml to natively describe how a yaml config should be produced is broken. It diverges from the underlying schema, and (because it's .yaml) isn't distinguishable from any other yaml.Things like helm treat yaml as a template. And I don't think language servers & tooling are up to scratch yet (happy to be corrected). So basic yaml formatters shit the bed.

    Yaml is a computer readable config file that tries to be human readable, and fails at being actually useful.

    Why projects try and make it useful, I will never understand.

    I honestly think generating yaml from something like python would be a million times easier.But then tools like ansible adopt yaml to essentially be a scripting language. As opposed to creating an actually decent solution that uses both python (to generate) and yaml (to apply).Or whatever language.

  • Keep it simple

    Jump

  • uses yaml for scripting so it's clean and readable.

    Eh....

    I guess yaml is fine.I hate the significance of whitespace, and the fact that I cannot find any editor that can auto-format. Which are both related, I guess: there is no way to know a yaml document is actually correctly formatted without knowing the intended schema.

    Whereas JSON doesn't have this ambiguity. But JSON has it's own drawbacks.

  • Sonos CEO Patrick Spence steps down after disastrous app launch

  • Hackers use FastHTTP in new high-speed Microsoft 365 password attacks

    Jump

  • The researchers say that 41.5% of the attacks fail, 21% lead to account lockouts imposed by protection mechanisms, 17.7% are rejected due to access policy violations (geographic or device compliance), and 10% were protected by MFA.

    This leaves 9.7% of cases where the threat actors successfully authenticate to the target account, a notably high success rate.

    This actually has nothing to do with the fastHTTP library, other than it happens to be the library they use.

    Sounds like a classic brute force attempt, which happened to have a 9.7% success rate.Whether this is bad config on behalf of the user, or bad config on behalf of Azure isn't really clear.Regardless, the fault is with Azure for not mitigating this and providing a secure-by-default service.I can't believe 10% of users deliberately weakened their security settings.

    The article does mention MFA fatigue. I guess where so many "type in the code"/"is this you" type prompts resulted in the user just accepting (or worse, accepting by force of habit) to get rid of them.Unexpected MFA and security alerts should be investigated immediately.

  • How do you handle SSL certs and internet access in your setup?

    Jump

  • For point number 2, security through obscurity is not security.Besides, all issued certificates are logged publicly. You can search them here https://crt.sh/

    Nginx Proxy Manager is easy to set up and will do LE acme certs, has a nice GUI to manage it.

    If it's just access to your stuff for people you trust, use tailscale or wireguard (or some other VPN of your choice) instead of opening ports to the wild internet.Much less risk

  • Yeh, as if republicans haven't been planning for all of these eventualities.Project 2025 details their long term plans.There is no way a presidential campaign hasn't planned exactly how to handle every single fallout from every single hidden skeleton in the candidates closet.Never mind the ongoing fucking public legal cases! "Yeh, we will just plead presidential immunity" and no further plans? Doubt.

    America is going to get railroaded through unbelievable feats of legal gymnastics, and going to be left holding their constitution as if it isn't the gymnastics' emergency crash pad.
